  2. I'm sorry... Still rolling on the floor at the thought of 11.4 degrees being your coldest day!

    I'm going to go with e, just because all the others contain another word in them.
  4. Maybe some of the members are in their second childhood?
  5. I've been reading the Joe Pickett series of books by C J Box. They're a great read, following the adventures of a Wyoming game warden. Well written, good pace, articulate. It's obvious though from the protagonist's attitudes towards "coastal elites", renewable energy and politics in general that the author - no matter what their own politics - is painting a picture of middle America where god'n'guns reign supreme, oil and coal means jobs, and scientists and progressives are unwelcome. In that environment, how do you change minds? I'd suggest that the first place to start is political donation reform. One of the reasons the Democrats lost is because they are seen (with some truth) as not caring about the average Joe, because they're beholden to their wealthy donors. Any political party that takes donations does favour the donors - it's self evident. So if you don't want to be seen as out of touch with the common man, you shouldn't take money from billionaires or big companies.
  6. He's only trying to keep the birds off his oranges, not starve them to death
  7. He may have been a bit gassy.

  9. Judging by his performance so far he'd give away the lot. What a twat. Achieved nothing but making things worse for Ukraine. "Master of the deal" my arse.
  10. He's just posting on Social Australia...
  11. Nothing to be ashamed of Nev. We all have those dreams occasionally. I quite like them.
  12. Start calling her "Hyacinth Bucket", that should stop it

    It's a new clip from his "two limb policy" show on Netflix. Watched it last night and nearly wet myself laughing. Very rude though if you don't like that sort of thing.

    Kier Starmer?
  17. Trump has never had an idea in his life that doesn't involve the enrichment or ego inflation of Donald Trump.
  18. There's only so many times we can yell at the American people "Get your head out of your arse and remember the lessons from 1930's Germany!" before giving up and thinking "meh, you deserve him".
  19. I'm glad you avoid driving over the peasants, Sir Spacey!
  20. Probably not unreasonable to expect drivers to be able to see.
  21. Gloomy but probably accurate prediction of what will happen on Friday. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/13/trump-swallowing-putins-lies-is-a-bigger-threat-to-ukraine-than-bombs
  22. Yeah I need to decide which level to get. I don't think it'll be the $9k ones.
  23. That's brilliant fuel economy. My 2.2 diesel Santa Fe only gets around 8.2/100, but we do have a lot of hills around here.
