  1. Beloved Australian bass guitarist Dick Diamonde died earlier this month aged 76. The iconic musician was a founding member of legendary rock band The Easybeats, who emerged as Australia's first internationally successful rock act in the 1960s.

    Correct. The words represent compass directions - North East South and West.
  3. Not related to this chap, but ancestry in general, many people have found they have unknown ancestors of various races. The TV ancestry research program Who Do You Think You Are has turned up a few. Ray Martin has aboriginal ancestry, Cathy Freeman has Chinese ancestry.

    Correct. This is the last question (the 1% question) from last weeks episode. This weeks episode was switched from Wednesday to Monday due to MKR, then to 7mate due to the Brownlow count. The problem is it was a repeat of an earlier episode so we've seen all the questions.
  5. Loo with a view - on top of The Shard, London.

    That's right. The numbers in the bottom row are the number of letters in the number above them. So 5 is the number of letters in 7 (SEVEN).

    Absolutely.
  11. Trump's big call on US election Donald Trump has suggested he won't run again for president if he is to lose the US election to Kamala Harris. The 78-year-old, who by the time of the next election would be one year older than President Joe Biden when he initially ran for a second term, was pressed on whether he could see himself launching another campaign. "No, I don't. No, I don't," Trump responded to Sinclair Broadcast Group's "Full Measure" host Sharyl Attkisson. "I don't see that at all. I think that, hopefully, we're going to be successful."

  15. The King of Queens was produced by Hanley Productions and CBS Productions (1998–2007), CBS Paramount Network Television (2007), in association with Columbia TriStar Television (1998–2002), and Sony Pictures Television (2002–07). It was filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. The ninth and final season concluded with a double-length finale episode in 2007. The show exhibits undertones of the original 1950s TV production The Honeymooners, starring Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows. Doug (Kevin James) and Carrie Heffernan (Leah Remini) are a middle-class couple living at "3121 Aberdeen St." in Rego Park, Queens, New York, along with Carrie's father, Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller). Doug works for the fictional International Parcel Service (IPS) as a delivery driver, while Carrie works as a legal secretary in Manhattan. Their lives are plagued by the demands of Arthur; so much so that they eventually hire Holly, a professional dog walker, to spend time with him as she walks dogs in the park. (Wikipedia) The show plays daily on Foxtel Comedy Channel.

  19. Never mind degradation, batteries will outlast EVs in most cases A study found the average EV battery degrades 1.8% per year; That means EV batteries could last over 20 years, or longer than the EV itself. Read report.
  20. Not my choice, but he's 50, so his decision. I reckon flying the Bonanza was simpler. Meanwhile I see that MG prices have been reduced by around $10,000 till the end of October, making them the cheapest EV's in Australia. MG price reduction
