This may sound odd, but I don't need much. Firstly I would make my 3 kids are comfortably well off. Then, considering the current and likely future economic conditions, I would give assistance to my siblings and Irene's siblings. I have 4 cousins, and would give them each a couple of thousand. I would make donations to a few charities. I don't think I have many years to go, so I don't want a large bank balance to pay probate on. I have money put aside for my cremation and have enough to meet my expenses. so I don't need a big bank balance.

I don't know about scratchies, but for other lotteries, there is an online ticket checking facility on the The Lott website. It will happily tell you NO PRIZE WON. You are not one of the 52,768 winning ticket holders. Play again?

And it was all bulk billed.

Firstly, he was a clinician, not a doctor, there was no nurse, not even a receptionist. They have a telephone receptionist who works from home for arranging appointments. They have a waiting room where you sit, and the clinician comes out at your appointment time to usher you in. They have covers over the skylights with a picture of bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds so you are not looking at a bright white square while you lay on the bed with the wires attached. Imagine sitting 2 - 3 feet in front of a large screen TV looking at your own eye like this.

re my post this thread 13 February, I had the tests today. Took a little over two hours. Some of them were weird. The clinician put a camera on my head to monitor my eyes. There was a small sticker on the wall about 2 feet from me. I had to keep my eyes on the sticker while he yanked my head left. right. up and down, while he monitored my eye movement. Then I had to hold my head still while following a light spot jumping around all over by just moving my eyes. Then I moved into a soundproof booth to do the hearing tests normally done by audiologists. This was to determine if I was a suitable candidate for Cochlear Implants. Then I moved into another room where I had to lie on a bed. He rubbed my earlobes and forehead lightly with sandpaper and attached stickers and leads. He placed earphones in my ears, and he played a tapping sound; like repeatedly tapping on a cardboard box. At first it sounded like an approaching helicopter, but settled down like an idling motorbike. I had to look left, right, and roll my eyes as far up as possible, 5 minutes in each position. He took out the eyephones and placed a metal gizmo behind my ears and repeated the tapping so that I could feel it like he was tapping behind my ears. Then he repeated the whole thing with the sandpapering, stickers and leads on my neck, chest and just under my eyes. Finally, we moved to a third room, where I sat on the foot of a bed in front of a TV screen about 48 in size. He put a bulky pair of glasses, like a virtual reality headset, which contained a camera. It's scary looking at your eye filling a large TV screen. Then he played a yellow dot on the screen and I had to follow it without moving my head. Then he placed a cover over the lens so it was totally dark, and the displayed a small spot of light in the headset. I had to look a the position of the light. He turned it off and I had to keep looking at the spot without closing my eyes. It's hard to know if your eyes are open or closed when it is totally dark. Then I had to lie on the bed blindfolded while he blew very warm air into each ear to see if it made me feel the room was spinning. All these tests were recorded in graphs on the computer. He will email the results to my doctor with a copy to me by mid next week.

I have an email mate I 'met' a few years ago through the old Men's Shed Online, which no longer exists. He is a poet, and goes by the name of Bunyip Brown. He sent me this (non rhyming) poem today which might resonate with a few of you. It's Political, Stupid ! By Bunyip Brown 20 March 2026. #679 Our world is changing from what we knew in the past The rules from yesteryear now need casting aside Previous past leaders couldn't read the barometer Like Howard and his ilk, they couldn't estimate the future. They let things drift along, "She'll be right" no worries Our leaders yet, unable to comprehend our nation's needs None of them unable to understand our tenuous grip on reality While inside our world, we citizens are becoming irrelevant. For yonks we haven't spawned a capable and visioned leader For this aberration we have to blame our democratic system We select career politicians with a three year game cycle And some of 'em come to administer with no brains at all ! Whilst we muddle along, we see ourselves as big and strong But all around us, the world is changing dramatically We are slow to react, seems our leadership cannot spell proactive We must accept the changes thrust upon us - and that stinks ! If I think we are progressing as a nation, I delude myself We invent something worthy but we won't get behind it Overseas buyers buy the rights and take it away, its cruel Guess we'll just have to be happy being the world's biggest quarry !

A cop pulled me over. He said, "Papers?" I said, "Scissors. I win."

BREAKING🚨 IT HAS BEGUN. INDIAN OIL TANKER ALLOWED TO CROSS STRIAT OF HORMUZ AFTER IT PAID IN CHINESE YUEN A major shift in the global financial system has just taken place. An Indian 0il tanker was all0wed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after paying its dues in Chinese yuan rather than U.S. dollars. This development represents a clear break from the long-standing “petr0dollar” system and suggests the world may be entering a new phase where the U.S. dollar is no longer the only currency dominating global energy trade.

In the first one, he says, amongst other things, "The windmills are driving the whales crazy." In the second one, he is thanking Ireland for their involvement in building America, then goes off script about his "excursion against nuclear weaponry". Pure dementia.
