Staff culled to be replaced by AI or offshore should be paid 12 months salary on termination. The banks are making record profits, as are many other employers going down this path. When I was retrenched from Westpac, it was computerisation in branches which resulted in the closure of the processing centre I managed. Jobs were near impossible to find as other banks were doing likewise at the same time. One branch manager from my district who was retrenched because his branch was closed (the CBAL/BNSW merger resulted in two branches in the one suburb), spent all his money at the RSL, drinking himself to death.

How they fix potholes in our neck of the woods. Bitumen in the hole, but not level with the road. A bit of rain and they will fill with water and crumble again.

Here is a summary of a number of polls taken over the last month or so, pollsters named. Click to enlarge.

I see the latest poll has Coalition at 33$, Labor at 24% and ON at 20%. Two party preferred has the Coalition with a lead over Labor of 55-45.

Nev, you are as welded on as Maggots are to Trump.

It's an English show, so I'm guessing Union. The preceding sentence to the quote was "30 men constantly crashing into each other." It was said while the police were investigating the death of a player. Personally, I don't know much about either, and I don't really enjoy watching it.

Why do the English pronounce the U sound (as in cut, gut, etc.) like 'oo' in book? Mum become "Moom", run becomes "roon", sun becomes "soon", even come becomes "coom".

A credit to Epstein. He got a lot of people reading.

Trinidadian rapper, singer, and songwriter, Nicki Minaj, a long time supporter of Trump, says she will be his next White House Press Secretary, to replace the last one who quit after 5 days in the job.

Rugby is not a sport, it's a brawl with goal posts. A quote from Midsomer Murders.

Right, Marty.

Rush on wise guy, hell ain't full yet. The speed limit doesn't say you have to travel that fast, it's the maximum you are allowed to travel at.

Another thing that gets my goat when driving, is the Peter Brocks who pass you on the left. It's easy to go over the limit when you drive right on the speed limit, particularly when there are rises and depressions in the road. So I drive at about 5 km under the limit, whether it is 60, 70 or 80, and in unsignposted streets, the assumed limit is 50. So when you are driving along a road that has one lane plus a parking or bus lane, these leadfoots pass you on the left any time there is a gap in the parked cars, at speeds well over the limit, only to be stopped at the next set of lights, where you catch up with them. They gain absolutely nothing. And you often have to brake hard when they pull out in front of you from behind a parked car.
