  1. Yes, Ireland was similar, either hedges or drystone walls. You couldn't go too fast anyway because half the time there was a tractor in front of you.
  2. It's not just wiring, one chewed the top of the radiator overflow bottle in our last car.
  3. My 16yo son eats a bag of "Krackle" (yep, pork crackling in a chip bag) each day. Not because he's fat - the opposite! He's skinny as a rail but super fit as he hits the gym 4x a week. He's trying to bulk up a bit so goes for foods high in protein.
  4. The only thing missing off that aisle is "MAGA caps"

  6. Looks like my screen setup for Work from Home. Is that the next evolution - Work from Car?

    Nope, I've only seen one episode about 3 months ago. But I'll leave the rest to others.
  8. I think that's your most succinct message yet Jerry. Well put.
  9. I can't imagine the ADF ever getting anything cheap. They seem to go for the most expensive and unsuitable hardware.
  10. Generally the biggest hazard is the nut behind the wheel.

  12. Oh, ok. Must've missed that.
  13. Which regulation?

    Either a question or a statement... the answer is "Which"
  15. I may have given the impression I'm anti-nuclear. I'm only anti-nuclear compared to other renewables (wind, solar, hydro etc), and only then if the total costs involved (taking into account further reductions in the cost of wind and solar, and ALL costs involved with nuclear - including the ore mining lifecycle, security, storage of spent/radioactive material, construction blowouts and decommissioning) are more for nuclear than wind/solar. If the LNP can show modelling by a respected firm which puts those all-up costs (and the final price to the consumer) as lower than the equivalent generation by wind/solar/storage, then they should do so. If they can't, then why are they chasing this?
  16. Who holds that much chocolate in their arms?
  17. There'll probably be no profiting from my propheting. But here's my 10 Suggestions in no particular order (no commandments from this prophet) 1. Think critically. 2. If a scientific theory has undergone rigorous testing and peer review, it's probably right and can be trusted until further discoveries prove it to be wrong. This is how it's supposed to work. 3. Nothing's more important than your health and the health of those you love. Including mental health. 4. If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is not true. This applies to everything from Nigerian princes trying to hide their millions in your bank account, to any religion that tells you belief in something will give you eternal life. 5. Don't be a c*nt. 6. Don't hurt the planet more than you have to. 7. Always question the motivation of the rich, powerful and politicians. 8. Be nice except where being nice will hurt you or those you love. 9. Rules are for the adherence of fools and the guidance of wise people. Having said that, be very sure of which camp you're actually in. 10. Relax and laugh often.
  18. She was just keeping his autograph.
  19. Marty 1:1. Yea, I tell unto ye, many will quote some ancient fiction as though it bear relevance or meaning. Marty 1:2. It doesn't.
  20. The only answer is to make it compulsory to number every box.
  21. Your chances of winning the lottery are exactly the same each time (well, accounting for other factors like the number of tickets bought etc) regardless of whether you've won multiple times before or never won a cent.

    Quickies part 2

    The "family" bush is a bit worrying. Getting into 1-tooth, 3-string banjo territory there.
  23. From a mathematical perspective they should be the same number, unless you stay down...
  24. Kirk Douglas?
  25. Why would you need to? They sell beer in the supermarkets.
