  1. I actually picked up a can of John West tuna at Woolies today. The can does say Made in Thailand.
  2. Jeez you can be lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view). Saturday is the day of surgery. A check in the mirror showed what little hair I have left was scruffy and over the ear, so I decided to get it cut. The el cheapo hairdresser I use charges $15 for a buzz cut. paid for by inserting $15 in notes in s lot and getting a ticket. No change given. Bank ATM's don't issue $5 notes so I had to go to Woolies and buy something so I could withdraw cash at the checkout. I also bought tonight's Powerball tickets. I went upstairs to the hairdresser and had the buzz cut, put my glasses and hearing aid back on, then sat on a seat and had a drink from the bottle I bought at Woolies. After a couple of minutes, I got up and walked to the lift to go back to the carpark level. There was quite a bit of noise in the shopping mall. I took the trolley back to the trolley bay, went and got in the car. I drove out of the carpark into the street and stopped at the lights waiting to make a right turn. I thought, "that's funny, I can't hear the indicator clicking." even thought the arrow on the dash was flashing. I felt my ear and realised the hearing aid was missing. I completed the turn, made a U-turn and drove back into the carpark. The space I had vacated was still empty, so I parked, got out and retraced my steps, back in the lift and up the the hairdressers. There was the hearing aid, on the floor beside the chair I had been sitting in. With that sort of luck I would have taken a lottery ticket had I not bought my Powerball tickets half an hour earlier.

    You talkin' to me? Delivered by Robert De Niro as the character Travis Bickle in the 1976 film Taxi Driver. I thought the question mark might have been a hint.
  6. Be careful. It appears that those of bad intent scan your email address book. and then pretend to be someone you know and trust to send their scam/spam emails. I have received emails purporting to be from my cousin, and now from a friend who used to live a couple of doors up from me. They say something similar to "You may remember these four photos." and give a link which is unknown. Just beware. I have run system scans just in case.

  8. You've got to hand it to the Canadians. He wants his name on everything, so they've named a public toilet the Donald Trump Memorial.

    What is the difference between a politician and a hooker? A hooker stops screwing you when the money runs out.

  11. Bloody yanks complaining that the MCG, designed for cricket and AFL, had too much space around their postage stamp pitch so front row spectators required binoculars to see the game. I watched part of the game, a stoppage every 20 seconds, making a 15 minute quarter take more than half an hour.
  12. What staggers me is the way you can take a creased old black and white photo taken 70 odd years ago and carried around in someone's wallet, and in a few seconds change it into a full colour image that looks like it was just taken, and even animate it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19Zj3pXhXH/
  13. Heard Donald's latest brainfart? If the Republicans are returned to the House and the Senate in the mid-terms, he will pay every adult American citizen $5000.

  17. Here are 3 more "Most Extreme Humans". The first two suffered from Neurofibromatosis (NF) Type 1, which causes tumors on the body, generally like large pimples. Some become cancerous. The first girl is 21, from England. Her tumors cover her eyes. This woman is in her 70's and comes from the Philippines. She has only recently seen a doctor about this for the first time. This tumor has grwn from her forehead to her knee. This chap from India is 19. He has had his face covered with hair since preschool. He was called monkey boy at school.
