The ridiculous thing was petrol going up and down like a bride's nightie, from $1.59 to $2.29 per litre every few weeks, without a major war anywhere.

Most Poms wouldn't go that far by car on their holiday.

Well, Oscar will start from position 5, in row 3. Pole position went to George Russell from Mercedes. The big shock was Kimi Antonelli, who starts from P2. In practice earlier in the day, he virtually wrote off his car in a wild spin and crash. Not only did they rebuild the car in a couple of hours so he could take part in qualifying, he got the second best time to start from P2. Standby cars are not allowed. Lawson (Mercedes) is on P1, Antonelli (Mercedes)is P2, Hadjar (Red Bull) P3, Leclerk (Ferrari) P4, Piastri (McLaren) P5, Norris (McLaren) P6 . Max Verstappen spun out and did not set a time, so will start at the back of the grid.

Brisbane radio personality, comedian, singer and puppeteer, operator of Agro, Jamie Dunn, has passed away. He was aged 75. 4BC‘s Gary Hardgrave broke the news: “Apparently he woke up this morning not feeling too well, said to the love of his life Maree, ‘I’m going to go back to bed for a little while’ and unfortunately he passed away there.

Trump and Hogsbreath have both said they don't give a damn about the law.

A Facebook member's reply to a report that Hegseth (Hogsbreath) refused to answer a BBC reporters question about who was responsible for destroying a girls school, killing over 100 schoolgirls.

Pete Hegseth torpedoed an UNARMED ship sailing home from a friendly naval exercise, killed 87 sailors, and left the rest floating in the Indian Ocean without lifting a finger to help. On March 4th, a U.S. submarine fired a single Mark 48 torpedo into the hull of the IRIS Dena, an Iranian frigate returning from India's MILAN 2026 multinational naval exercises. The ship had roughly 180 people on board. At least 87 were killed and 61 remain missing. Sri Lanka's navy had to step in and rescue the 32 survivors. Here's what makes this even more sickening. Both the U.S. and Iran were participants in the same Indian-hosted exercise, which required ships to operate without live ammunition. The U.S. sent a P-8A patrol aircraft that flew drills alongside the Dena just days before a submarine destroyed her. Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal called the attack premeditated, noting the U.S. knew exactly where the ship was because it had been invited to the same exercise. Strategic affairs expert Brahma Chellaney put it bluntly: if the Dena was lightly armed or unarmed, the strike resembles a premeditated execution more than combat. And Pete Hegseth? He bragged about it. Called it a "quiet death" at a Pentagon press conference, grinning like a man who just won a prize at the county fair. Trump has openly stated that wiping out Iran's navy is a key war objective. The Second Geneva Convention requires belligerents to take all possible measures to search for and rescue the shipwrecked after an engagement at sea. International law scholars, former Pentagon officials, and members of Congress are now openly debating whether this attack was legal and whether the U.S. violated its obligations by abandoning survivors in the water. Sinking a ship that was someone's guest, that was following peacetime protocols, that couldn't fight back. Then leaving sailors to drown thousands of miles from home. That's not strength, thats a warcrime.

A Japanese gentleman was visiting the United States for the first time. He’d seen America on television for years and was excited to finally experience it in person. On the last day of his trip, he climbed into a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the airport. As they drove along the highway, a Honda zoomed past the cab. The man leaned toward the window, clapped his hands, and exclaimed: “Ahh! Honda — very fast! Made in Japan!” A few minutes later, a Toyota flew by. Again, he leaned out excitedly and said: “Toyota — very fast! Made in Japan!” Soon after that, a Mitsubishi sped past them. Once again, the man smiled proudly and shouted: “Mitsubishi — very fast! Made in Japan!” By now, the taxi driver was getting a little irritated… but he kept quiet and continued driving. Finally, they arrived at the airport. The driver stopped the car and said, “That’ll be $300.” The Japanese gentleman’s eyes went wide. “Three hundred dollars?! That’s very expensive!” The taxi driver smiled and replied: “Meter — very fast. Made in Japan.”

When most company stations, BP, Shell, etc., or 7 Eleven were at $2.19 or $2.29 per litre, I filled up at a small independent station at $1.79 per litre. While all pumps were busy, there were no queues. As one car pulled out, another pulled in. With the small number of km's I do, that full tank should do me for about 3 weeks.

There's plenty of countries that accept and welcome those of that belief. If they don't want to accept our standards they can go find somewhere else.
