  1. @Jerry_Atrick You might find this interesting. https://transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-resources/news/free-weekend-travel-across-victoria-this-summer
  2. When I click on the language indicator (ENG) on my task bar, the pop-up menu shows 3 options. ENGLISH AUSTRALIA with a sublabel US, English New Zealand (NZ Aotearoa) and United States (United Kingdom). Regardless of which option I choose, it highlights words such as colour until I remove the U.
  3. Forgive me Jerry, but I doubt you use a spell checker. If you did, you'd have a page covered in red underlines.In just two paragraphs of your post above, this is what I found. Check the yellow highlights

    Yeah, you're right.
  6. I have seen only one movie in a theatre in 25 years, I said the trailer on TV looked interesting, so my daughter dragged my along to a 5:30 showing. It was the latest sequel to Naked Gun, with Liam Neeson as Frank Drebbin. An occasional grin, but pretty gringy. The funny scene in the trailer did not appear in the movie. I'm not into movies, in theatre or on TV. My son gave me access to his Netflix, buy I've never watched it.
  7. Many of the Australian shows on TV are reality shows - My Kitchen Rules, The Block, Dancing with The Stars, Farmer Wants A Wife, Better Homes and Gardens, et al. I don't really like any of them. American shows are boring. On Foxtel, most of them are repeats, often repeats where some of the cast passed away years ago. Shows like Seinfeld, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond (Frank and Doris are long dead). I prefer English programs, but then again, many of these are years old and on their third or fourth run. (UK TV). Shows like Midsomer Murders, New Tricks, QI, Would I Lie To You, One out of Ten Cats Does Countdown (not so much, they regularly have Sean Lock who died years ago), and Long Lost Family. Most of them I've have seen twice or three times. Even The 1% Club is in reruns. The only American show I watch regularly is Wheel of Fortune. I like trying the guess the phrase/word before the contestant. A bit of brain exercise. I watch the Australian and UK versions of The Chase on Channel 7, but their questions are ridiculous or the contestants often as dumb as clay. You have to know ancient history, Shakespeare or modern music/movies to answer a lot of the questions.

  12. The news said they had travelled to Bali.
  13. My old high school, Deniliquin High School, was badly damaged by fire in the early hours of this morning. From the Shepparton News: Large sections of Deniliquin High School have been destroyed by fire, with emergency services still on scene as we publish. The most visible damage is in the building at the corner of Wellington and Henry St, with the Henry St corridor and the section wrapping around to the school oval visibly gutted by flames. It is unclear on viewing the damage from the outside what impact the fire has had on the rest of the connected corridors and classrooms. The section most impacted contains rooms that have been traditionally used for mathematics, design and technology, science and English, and the high school library. Nearby residents have reported hearing loud bangs as the fire was at its worst, with flames leaping high up into the air as the blaze took hold. As you can image, it looks a lot different to when I was last there in 1959.
  14. Albo got married today in a ceremony kept under wraps till it was completed.
  15. Sharks only attack when you are wet. Stay dry. As well, that spot was signed with Shark and No Swimming signs.
  16. Bob 'Bongo' Starkie, guitarist with Aussie band Skyhooks, has died after an battle with Leukemia. He was 73.

    This is getting repetitive. Correct again.
  19. Marty, he said it's the only station he can get down where he lives. I know you can't believe 98% of what you read on Facebook, but even Republican insiders are contemplating the 25th Amendment, and some saying America should become Canada's 11th Province.
  20. US golf legend Fuzzy Zoeller whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, aged 74.
