Hi Ian. I'd like to echo the others statements. This forum provides an emotional support to members much in the way the Men's Shed movement does, as pointed out by spacesailor. I know it has become a major part of my life. Aside from the guys I see in person at the Shed, the members here are my mates. I used to belong to a forum called The Men's Shed Online, which was sponsored by Beyond Blue, but it closed a few years ago and I have only kept in touch with two of the members since. I am only able to attend the Shed three days a week because I was accepted as a volunteer to assist the members with things computer and photography and can attend free of charge. I would be happy to pay a membership subscription. I am within sight of clearing all debt even though my only income is the age pension.My only difference with OME's statement is that I am on Facebook,which is the source of all the jokes, silly signs and pictures which I post on this forum. It also supplies me with a source of aircraft to highlight on RecFlying.

I make no comment, just watch this....

Not one of the six, but I was at Bendigo Airport in February 1970 when Mustang VH-DBB (ex A68-193) flown by Don Bush spiralled into the ground during an airshow.

Correct.

Correct - but did you get it in 30 seconds? VICAR VIABLE

Nev will relate to this...

Correct Marty.

No takers? Here's the answer. Next.....

“A riot of kookaburras” is the phrase used to describe a bunch of them. The wild cacophony they produce is the reason for this. The scientific name of the kookaburra is Dacelo novaeguineae.

There's a guy on Facebook whose hobby is going to get him in trouble. He likes to take photos of signs which say "Photography Forbidden" or similar, around Defence establishments and the like.

Most people know that the collective noun for crows is 'murder' - a murder of crows. There are a number of collective nouns for magpies, but the most common is 'mischief', particularly in this swooping season. The noun for cockatoos is 'crackle'.

Michael Leunig dumped from The Age A controversial cartoonist delivered a blistering parting shot to his boss after he was sacked in a 'throat-cutting exercise'. Michael Leunig's 55-year career at The Age came to an end last week when the editor of the Melbourne-based masthead, Patrick Elligett, told subscribers the cartoonist had 'filed his last editorial illustration'. But Leunig, 79, is refusing to go quietly, and delivered a blunt farewell message to the newspaper by accusing its editors of censorship and branding it a 'tacky tabloid'.

My head hurts.

Farcebook post from Feminine News:

Why do the Americans keep referring to President This and President That. The country can only have one President, and until the next inauguration, that is President Biden. Apart from him, they are all just Mr.

The Republicans made a great deal about how "Sleepy Joe" was unfit to be president. With all his ramblings (ie. going on about Dr Hannibal Lecter, constant use of superlatives like greatest amazing, etc), Trump's mental acuity must also be drawn into question, and combined with the above photo, is he any better suited to be president? And if he is unfit to carry out the duties of president, under Amendment 25 of the Constitution, that responsibility falls on the vice president. Is America prepared to have J.D.Vance as their president, even in an acting capacity? Things the voters should keep forefront in their minds.
