What I alluded to is a KNOWN causal factor in these happenings. It seemed like an appropriate time to Mention it.. Plus It's in the OFF topic place. I know a bloke that bought a rusty steel boat, which sank.. Was that Ironic? He thought it was a steal at the Price. THAT was Nautical but NOT Nice. He'd floated the idea of a boat many times with his wife, She couldn't ever sea the funny side of it. Her Heart sank when she got the News, (That the Insurance wasn't paid). That Put the Kybosh on a good Bottom of the Harbour scheme. Nev

Is He a Convict? . Aren't we all supposed to be descendants of FELONS? Is NOTHING Sacred? Nev

Not a very SECRET service. . He gets the Publicity He Probably sought. . Nev

Is she THAT Ugly? Nev

He's a REAL person. I thought he commented Recently but only the once. Nev

That's Rolf Harris and He's out of favour. A tied down Kangaroo, or a dead one is the Only Safe Skippy. (The Bush Kangaroo). Nev

Isn't a BOOMER a Kangaroo? A lot of People were against celebrating Anzac day as they said it Eulegises WAR. Nev

Most Shy Cancels are sheltered Workshops.. They wouldn't WORK in a tub of Yeast. Nev

It was attributed at one stage to a early Italian Immigrant who said "When I first come HERE I know fu#k NOTHING and Now I know fu#k ALL." Nev

Now we have (TWO) How Embarrassments . How did that Happen? Nev

The thread title gets ME . How embarrassment. ? Was it MEANT to be "Embarrassing". Please Explain!! Nev

Some being replaced are smaller than Later versions. Maybe the site is worth it. Designs improve or perhaps they were cheapies Nev.

I have no idea how to cook a dish, either..Nev

Keep it up. Nev

They can last Longer than that, but sometimes a Newer one is a better Product. Nev

If you'd Woken the dead, you would have Made Big Headlines.. Nev

There was no "OFF Market" trading involved, but I never bought CBA on Principle. Plenty of others did and did OK. I believed WE already owned it., Nev

Ask the question specifically and you will get the answer I got. I also recall Howard recommending it.. The Last 50% is significant in terms of losing control. It would NOT have been Popular with Laborites. I'm NO admirer of Hawke at all. Nev

Wind FARMs should be called "Wind Energy Harvesters" . They don't use the soil as nutrient, You can still farm the area at the same time. They don't CAUSE wind. Nev

One track It was the HOWARD Gov't the sold off the Last 50% of the CBA. Look it up. Nev

Howard is Pretty Much solely responsible for encouraging Money into houses as the Best Investment. He also sold the People's Bank to the People. "Honest" John Has a Lot to answer for. Nev

Private homes are paid for by already taxed Money and NOTHING deductible. To retrospectively change the rules would not be taxing. it would be Confiscation of an asset by deception as a lot of it's VALUE is because of Inflation, with No deductions for ANYTHING Interest rates, council rates, repairs. insurance along the way. How unfair would that Be? . Over long periods of time the dwelling becomes valueless and only the Land makes it worth anything, Many Houses just get pushed over. An empty lot would be worth More. It costs Money to demolish and tidy up.. When you rent, you know exactly what it will cost you. If the neighbours are from Hell you can Just Move without Paying crazy amounts of Money . If you are the kind of Person that Moves a lot, Owning a House is the One thing you Might consider NOT doing. They can tie you down and absorb all your spare cash.. Most are Now on tiny Blocks where there is Nothing but the House and car garage. You can't fit between the walls of your Place and next door. Ticky Tacky little boxes all in a row.. How depressing. Nev

Only in USA and Canada. Called the "short", ton. Normal ton is 2240 Lbs.

Were they all related? There's NO privacy in small towns. Can be very Boring also, and hard to get things done. Everything costs More and woe Betide you IF you are different. You have to travel for education, or specialist Medical services. No good Jobs for the Kids. Nev

Inflation negates capital Gains. Nev
