    Quickies part 2

    Two ladies of the night were driving around with a sign on their car saying "Ladies of the night $50". A cop pulls them over and said, "you can't have a sign like that on your car." Just then, a car goes past with a sign saying, "Repent your sins. Jesus will forgive." The ladies said, "What about that sign?" The cop says' "That's OK. It's a religious sign." Next night, the cop spots the ladies car again. He follows them, and sees their sign, "Two fallen angels looking for Peter."

    Here's another Catchphrase.
  8. You'll have to play the game with the original poster. Uses the name Mark Hammill, but I checked the 5 Mark Hammill FB pages, and none showed the quiz.
  9. Here's another that popped up this evening. Supposedly 19 Tesla Model X to be won. What number other than 03 is shown?

    Very good Marty.
  12. Maybe I shot myself in the foot, but I've had fun playing with this guy. A lot of these type quizzes come up on Facebook. Find the number other than 80. In some of them there may be 15 rows and 15 columns. Often there are more than one odd number. Many people, including me, post their answer in the comments. I did that recently, and got this personal message: I asked what was involved in nclaiming, and he requested where I come from, my full name and phone number.I gave my suburb but not the street address. He sent these photos. If you enlarge, you will see on the bottom row a photo of a right hand drive Range Rover. He then said, go to FedEx on WhatsApp and complete the delivery forms. I said I don't have the WhatsApp on my phone so he said he would organise the forms and told me to wait. The next message said: I replied to which he replied That's the last I heard. Maybe he was genuine, who knows. I don't need a Range Rover. US$70,000 would have been handy, but could all have been a hoax. I had fun stringing him along. I'll take my chances with Powerball.
  13. Looks like she just received heartbreaking news.
  14. Wikipedia provides a lot of the data (not all) which is used in the aircraft profiles. There are a number of other aviation databases, as well as manufacterers websites which are referenced.
  15. Did you know a few military pilots have shot themselves down? https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a27967/the-fighter-plane-that-shot-itself-down/ https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/f-14-tomcat-fighter-did-impossible-it-shot-itself-down-210068 https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a27078461/dutch-f-16-flew-into-its-own-gunfire/
  16. Watch Penn and Teller. They always say diversion is how illusionists play their slight of hand. "Look over there while I slip something up my sleeve."
  17. Jerry's right - Barbara Eden.
  18. I've made a number of contributions.
  19. Thanks OT. I was only going on what I was told by our Shed Manager/Co-ordinator, who is employed by the community health service that runs our Shed, and as I said in the OP, has just been in hospital with kidney stones. He said he was told not to use BUPA. My fund is a member of AHSA.
  20. Here is a list of the Victorian private hospitals where you can no longer claim benefits from your health insurance company. Other states have simalar or smaller lists. Thr change takes effect from midnight, 3rd March. I have used Knox Private Hospital for a number of treatment, because that is where my specialists operate. My pacemaker was inserted there, and it's battery replaced 9 years later. It is only 5 km down the road, and my cardiologist, urologist and surgeon operate from there. Ringwood Private Hospital is where my wife received her radiation and chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Other private hospitals in the area are not much more than doctors surgeries and don't have emergency departments. Public hospitals are overloaded to the gills with enormous waiting times.Box Hill Hospital is 15 km. away. Healhscope private hospitals in Victoria.
  21. Reawakening an old thread. How many of you have received notification that from March, you will not be covered for hospital insurance? Canadian company Healthscope, who operate a vast number of private hospitals in Australia, particularly in Victoria, have cancelled their arrangements with health insurance companies, and hospital costs will be out-of-pocket expenses. I thought it was just my health insurance, but on resumption of the Men's Shed today, we discovered that it covers many health insurance companies. Our co-ordinator, who has just been through kidney stone treatment, said he would have been up for a few thousand. He heard that Healthscope has done this to increase their profit and line the pockets of their investors.
