  1. From 1969 to 1972, America put 12 men on the moon in nine missions. Eight of the surviving crew members (notably absent is the reclusive Neil Armstrong) talk about their experiences in a documentary called In The Shadow of The Moon, not to be confused with a movie of the same name released a few years later. The documentary was played on TV a few days ago. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article on the documentary - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Shadow_of_the_Moon_(2007_film). Of all the astronauts who appeared in the film, only Buzz Aldrin demanded to be paid. A quote I recall from the end of the documentary was one of the astronauts who said "We sent nine trips to the moon but sceptics still say it was faked in a hangar. Why would we fake it nine times?"
  2. Sorry, Willie, no personal experience with Instamatics. AI search revealed: Kodak Instamatic cameras primarily use two distinct film formats: 126 film and 110 film. 126 Film: Introduced in 1963, this 35mm-wide cartridge produces 28x28mm square images (typically masked to 26.5x26.5mm). It features a single registration hole per frame and a captive take-up spool, allowing for easy drop-in loading without rewinding. 110 Film: Introduced in 1972 for the Pocket Instamatic line, this format uses a smaller 16mm wide film with a 13x17mm image area. It also uses a drop-in cartridge design but results in significantly smaller negatives. While the term "Instamatic" is often used generically, 126 was the original format for the main Instamatic series, whereas 110 was reserved for the later, more compact Pocket Instamatic models. AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
  3. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has told US President Donald Trump to focus on his own popularity in a recent social media post. Mr Trump had earlier taken to social media himself to say Ms Meloni was "doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity". In response, Ms Meloni told Mr Trump that "being your friend" certainly had not helped her popularity, nor was her popularity dependent on their relationship. "My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy's national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done," Ms Meloni said in the Instagram post. "In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. "I suggest you focus on yours."

    Correct.
  6. The US is planning to spend $42 million to build a munitions storage facility in the Albury/Wodonga area. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/us-marine-corps-builds-warready-weapons-dump-in-victoria-amid-china-fears/news-story/ef24940b8a068deedd0257590bc478a8?utm_source=News.com.au&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=EditorialSB&utm_content=SocialBakers

  9. I don't know how this compares withother hospitals, but when I went for my heart imaging today, I had to go through the doorway of the emergency dept at Knox Private to get to the lift. A notice on the door stated that the fee for using the ED was $470, paid on the day.

    It's uh bee you tea full day in the park -- It'a a beautiful day in the park.
  11. Like you, OT, I was turned off alcohol and smokes at an early age. My grandfather was responsible. When I was a youngster, my family shared the farmhouse with my paternal grandparents. I can clearly recall my grandfather on the back verandah of the farmhouse giving me a puff of a roll-your-own and making me sick, and at another time giving me a sip of scotch, which I hated.We left the farm when I was seven, so it was before that age. I was never tempted again. My father didn't drink or smoke either. When he went to a hotel, he would drink sarsaparilla.
  12. Does that mean the cloud will be in the sky?
  13. The only alcohol of any description that I have had since 2017 is the brandy in the Christmas pudding. I had a glass of the house white at a retired bank officer's luncheon in 2017 and that's the only stuff I've had in years. Throughout my entire life, the total amount would have been less than one bottle per year. A glass, or part thereof, on the odd festive occasion. Never red. Only a few sips and it wasn't for me.
  14. Circumstances change. What may appear to have been appropriate or good policy at one time, before an election, may be totally incorrect later. Rigidly sticking to an idea which is no longer appropriate just to avoid being accused of lying is irresponsible. One has to change with the tide.
  15. 16 year old Mernda Aussie teen Declan was hunted by a Sudanese youth gang then stabbed 56 times and he received 66 blunt force injuries. One of Declan's African killers was released because he was deemed too young to take responsibility for murder. Sudanese gang attack.mp4
