  1. Sugar increases More with ripened fruit where there's more sunshine. Early picked crops are More Acid (Sour) Passionfruit are a good example. . Soils can affect taste but I've Never heard of it related to soil acidity. Alkaline soils are easier to farm. Extremes of Ph make some nutrients unavailable to the Plant and soils may be Nutrient deficient in some areas requiring correction. IF you keep taking stuff out you have to replace it or your yield and quality will suffer. Nev
  2. Your mate Trump is what you are describing there. GON. He's a VAIN dictator. who only listens to those who agree with him. Albanese is chosen as Leader by the Party as in all parties here. He governs with the support of his Ministers working together as a team. You are really raving and exaggerating. Votes get people elected here. Not Money and Power. let's hope it stays this way. That's democracy. Now let's get a truthful Media and we will be doing well.. Presently OUR Media is one of the Biggest Monopolies in the World.. Nev
  3. Wanna bet she'll pull the chute on the Cirrus at some Point.? Ashby has 457 Hours on a Jabiru 230... Nev
  4. I reckon there's a few here who would NEVER vote Labor, no Matter what the situation was. At one time or other. I've voted for Most of the Parties. It depends on the Local candidate a lot, The More you know about them the More value you vote will Be. The OLD Country Party had the Most rusted on adherents. The days of Ian Sinclaire. (Sinkers) He used to ride with TAA a bit. to Mt ISA if I recall correctly. I get stuff from quite a few Politicians. Listen to it on the radio and watch Parliamentary Question time.(Which can be a bit disappointing with some of the rudeness). I can Pretty much assure People here that I won't be voting ever for Hanson. Nev
  5. GST takes no account of your ability to afford to Pay. The RICH want to Increase it. That should be all you need to know. It's a dead arm on everything and Makes a lot of Paperwork. Nev
  6. Howard started the "Invest in Houses and you can't go wrong " thing. Most of us spend half of our Lives Paying it OFF. There HAS to be MORE to life than Just "owning" a House. Then you have to look after it. Pay the rates. Insure it. Keep the white ants and vermin out of it Fix the Roof, Chimney, Wiring and Plumbing if you're there long enough.. Worry about Bushfires Floods and storm damage. Pay a Monty when you move in taxes and costs. When you rent the Owner has to worry about all THAT. IN Europe Most never expect to OWN their own home unless they Inherit it. The Australian DREAM of owning your home can also be a nightmare, if you get stuck with Neighbours from HELL. Nev
  7. It's pretty much assumed you use both hands when flying a Plane. Control wheel in Left Hand. Throttles in right. Like a C-172 NOT like a Spitfire onetrack I put the question to OME, who immediately preceded me. It's hard to write with the Hand you are not used to. You play a Piano with both hands. I even type with both Hands but the right one has Nerve issues. Improved a bit Lately with the steroid injection. Nev
  8. You don't see too many modern Cars on the side of the road these days. The screens are not to distract you. They give you real time information relevant to where you are and where you are seeking to go. The alternative would be to use a road Map. I know which I would rather do.. Have you test driven an electric car Yet? Nev
  9. Abbot, who Lost his Blue ribbon seat to an Independent. His new job is NOT supposed to Involve Policy Making, but that doesn't stop the Mad Monk getting straight into It. He's also on Rupert's Payroll and RUPEE's show supports Hanson.. What about thinking of the REAL liberal supporters. A top WOMAN figure in the Canberra scene has Just resigned, saying the Party is TOO TOXIC to remain in.. The Party of RG Menzies may well be finished. Nev
  10. Trump is so full of Himself He doesn't care how corrupt he Looks as long as HE and family Make Heaps of dough. Nev
  11. Look at America for shooting. Where your great Mate runs the show. HE boasted he could shoot someone in Broad daylight and get away with it. Anywhere he goes the security close down the whole area. Ops Normal. Nev
  12. I think many of us KNOW what's going on in our Backyard better than you give us credit for. As a person living here I wouldn't claim intricate knowledge about what is going on in the UK WE get a Fair Bit about the USA. Half the People in the USA wouldn't know where Australia is. When I was in France for a bit over 2 Months I got Practically No News about Australia. Its Out of sight Out of Mind. . Nev
  13. It's the Coalition that's in dire trouble. Now THEY are talking about amalgamating with PHON. The Greens are in trouble internally. People aren't deserting Labor. Stop reading Sky and Murdoch LIES and find out what's really happening, wille. Yes Hanson is on a roll but if she's the ANSWER just what is the Question? She will be doing WHAT Murdoch and Gina want. Newspoll is Murdoch and not that reliable, either. You don't know just what questions were askedin the survey. Overseas opinion of the Australian Gov't's Performance is very different from HOW is Portrayed by the MSM Here. Nev
  14. It won't happen again is a pretty good bet. They found enough skullduggery surrounding the Last Happening involving the Royals. Nev
  15. The GG won't be dismissing any gov't. That was a unique response to the Frazer Gov't blocking supply. I agree with the Rest of your post. Hanson's problem will be internal stability and operating without breaking any laws. Nev
  16. The LATEST BMW's are the Best thing there is According to My eldest who has raced a lot when a bit younger and is still a Bike Nut. They Lent him one for about a week. Some are built in the USA. Nev
  17. Harley Davidson Market a Ute based on a ford F 350 I think. Really Fancy Paintwork. Nev
  18. They weren't all that Poplar when they were NEW.. Maybe they appeal to the Older riders compared to some others these days. There's a 3 and 4 cylinder version. Not everyone likes an engine turning on a fore and aft axis in a bike and the effects of a shaft drive. Nev
  19. HD ute wasn't to bad 4/5 on the floor would make it better and better seats. Have a Look at the Malloo Utes. HSV did some good work here. Nev
  20. As long as it's not Roger More. Nev
  21. A lot of owners considered the HR to be the Worst. Next door to My Cousin was a GM employee at Fishermens Bend, who bought one cheap(er) but had to NOT sell it for a specified Period. A year I think. He Had so Much go wrong with it, some of it quite dangerous so he stopped driving it and sold it after specified time had Elapsed. The Person who Bought it was Killed in it by some fault or other. I think it was the first Model to get Curved side windows and the body ended up a bit wider but the track wasn't. Ralph Nader was VERY condemning of GM products in Australia quality control and Lack of sophistication. Using old(er) less efficient design. The 202 wasn't a great Motor. Stroked to the Limit and a lot of Core shift in the block.. . Also inclined to strip the Fibre timing gear that drives the Camshaft which will bring you to a complete stop without much other damage. That can happen throughout the range and even Chevs had them. Nev
  22. IF you tow things you'll wear them faster. The trouble with a lot of drum brakes they FADE when they get hot.. The discs can get Hard spots and wear unevenly and then shudder at higher speeds. Worn too thin and you can really Be in trouble. Nev
  23. Ramsets are Lethal. Nev
  24. Naturally, as a Mechanic I worked on a Lot of Holdens but never got around to Buying one. Fairly straight forward to work on. I used to like Chevs but you couldn't afford them. Nev
  25. Don't watch Much TV. It will do your Brain in. Nev
