  1. There's a bright yellow thing in the sky over Melbourne today.
  2. As they say, a boat is a hole in the water to throw money in.
  3. Correct. Still performing in his 90's.
  4. Meanwhile, she's in India.
  5. I read on Yahoo News this morning that many councils are rolling out parking meters (spelt metres in the article) where you must pay by phone ap, not cash, or even tap card. Just as well I don't go anywhere that has parking meters, I don't have cash aps on my phone. Unfortunately, I am going to be forced into it, kicking and screaming.
  6. This is the old Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd branch at 708 Elizabeth St Melbourne, the opposite end of Elizabeth St to Flinders Street Station, and on the border of Carlton. Traditional design. It is proteceted by a heritage overlay. This is the architects(?) concept of the redevelopment.
  7. News today the State debt will blow out by a further $840,000,000 due to costs with the Suburban Rail Loop, and an email today from the local member, John Mullahy MP, ALP, stating that the tunneling machines to create the loop will arrive in 2026. How much will the bloody thing cost before it opens? I t has already been reported that it fails cost benefit scrutiny.

    Another day over and I haven't used algebra.
  12. Much and all as I think cash should be retained, I rarely carry any notes, just a few coins. Particularly a 10c to unlock those confounded chain locks on shopping trolleys. I was told a $1 coin was required, but I have found that 10c does work. Groceries, petrol, lotto, and anything else I buy are paid for by EFTPOS card. I don't buy much online, but when I do I use my credit card. Bills are paid by direct debit or Bpay.
  13. An interesting quote from a post in reply to an article on the Manly Post Office going cashless: "As the oldies die off the adult infants who can't even walk without their phones telling them which foot to put forward next will realise that they are under total control. Too late and it will serve them right. "
  14. Right on OT.
  15. He has also gone on Truth Social to tell women they have nthing to fear, he is their protector. Here is Bette Midler's response:
  16. The idiot has again proved he has totally lost it. On his social media platform he complained about the nightshow hosts, Kimmel, Fallon and Colbert, and said, "Where is Johnny Carson? Bring back Johnny Carson." Carson died in 2007.
  17. The world is full of sick or weird people. Two posts on Farcxebook - After the recent massacres in the middle east, someone came up with a cartoon of Wiley Coyote with a plie of pagers and a sign "Free Pagers". Then the person who posted a birthday tribute to Joan Jett, accompanied by a photo of Noel Fielding.
  18. Sorry, no.
