Correct Jerry. For those not familiar with how the game is played, here is a Youtube video of a full episode. It starts with a couple of toss-up rounds then moves to the spins. When a contestant lands on a prize value, they nominate a consonant. If the letter appears in the word, the square turns blue and the young lady touches the square to display the letter. The contestant can nominate a vowel before they spin again and a price (I think $50) is deducted from their accumulated prize. Then they can spin again. If the consonant they select is not in the solution, the spin passes to the next contestant. If the spin lands on Loose a Turn, it passes to the next contestant. If it lands on Bankrupt, their accumulated prize is removed, along with any bonus prize wedges they may have gathered. After the bell sounds, the contestant with the highest total move on to the Bonus Round. Here is the video. It runs for 27 minutes, but you can slide through including the commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds6K-Xgv-Lo

A JUICY BURGER is correct.

Trump doesn't give a fig about the rest of the world. It's America America America. Delusional ratbag. But more and more are picking up on his mental lapses. He complimented Pete Hegseth on his performance on morning TV, only Hegseth wasn't on TV. It was a video from his X account, deleted then reloaded. They are crying "What if it was Biden making booboos like this".

Yes Nev. You left out underage unlicensed drivers who seem to be coming more prevalent, as well as idiots hyped up on meth and other drugs, as well as booze. But there does seem to be a high number of accidents like cars pulling into an angle park at the kerb, hitting the gas instead of the brake, and ending up in a restaurant or so on, and unfortunately many of these are drivers over 75. I believe other states have biennial testing for seniors.

Throughout the show, they play what they call toss-up rounds for a prize of $2000. In these rounds, the wheel is not spun, the three contestants each hold a buzzer. Letters are randomly displayed across the puzzle one at a time. When a contestant thinks they have identified the solution they press their buzzer which halts the game. If they are correct, they get the $2000 added to their total, if not the game resumes. So in a toss-up round, a letter that appears more than once in a solution may only be shown once, and will display as the game proceeds. So you are right Marty. The solution is CHEAPSKATE.

It's that time of the year...

Correct Peter. I don;t know where Nev dreamt his answer up.

I register quarterly as well. At my age and health, who knows how much longer I can drive. After this week's accident in Wantirna South (just down the road), where a 91 year old lady ran off the road hitting a pair of grandparents walking their grandchild, The grandmother was killed at the site, the grandfather has since died, and the grandchild is in hospital critically injured. Seniors driving is being looked at critically in Victoria, where there is no age related retesting.

Yes, they send reminders up to two months in advance, but when I pay using bPay, I like to check a couple of days later that the expiry date has been updated.

Correct again Peter/ A few more Wheel of Fortune. (1% Club has been playing repeats.)

Corrrect.

Thanks. I've been using that for years, but could not get that to come up this time.

Todd Sampson, from the ABC TV show Gruen, loves to wear teeshirts with smart comments, like the Mind over Matter one below, wore one the other day with the message MUCK ELON FUSK

At least in Victoria, you used to be able to go onto the Vicroads website, select registration, enter your rego number, and it would tell you when your rego is due to expire. Now you have to sign up for a monthly bill to have this info sent to your email address. Another government ripoff.

To an average Joe sitinng in a TV studio audience with thirty seconds to answer wouldn't overthink it to that degree. It says "after ONE". Most people would think positive numbers, one two three etc. It's not hard. The answer is Nineteen, follows eighteeN. You could do it on your fingers.

For God's, get off your bike. Looks like your never happy till you're miserable.

Eh???

Correct. Clue in the question - "members of the One family."

Correct.

I don't. There was one on the table at the Men's Shed.
