Nobel 2nd place

That's it.

Not quite, it's a brand name.

The wind has been a bit strong down Tassie way.

Correct. Hayley Joel Osment movie. To answer this one, you will need to know what this is called in the UK. The puzzle -

From the Motor Accident Insurance Commission website: Is CTP insurance good value? Yes. Unlike many other types of insurance, CTP provides unlimited indemnity to the insured. Benefits paid to the injured party depend on the extent of the injuries and can include the cost of ambulance, hospital and medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income and long-term care. Limits may apply with respect to loss of income (the upper limit being three times average weekly earnings per week) and limits may apply in certain circumstances regarding the payment of legal costs.

OK. Let's look at it another way. You are an exemplary driver, going about your business, and a ratbag driver goes flying through a red light, cleans up your car, leaving you with head, chest and leg injuries. You are going to be in hospital for weeks and recuporating for longer. Who pays for that? The other guy's third party insurance. Luckily, it's compulsory, or he might not have had it. Then you would be up that well known creek. Obviously, if it was a crim in a stolen vehicle, you might not be so lucky. The CTP is the price you pay for being lucky enough not to make an account draining payout.

Correct.

A strong American influence, but a song lyric. Saturday in the park, I thought it was the fourth of July.

Compare it to home insurance. You pay out hundreds per year to insure your home. Why? To cover the cost should your home burn down, or get crushed by a falling tree. If that doesn't happen, you don't get a refund. You pay hundreds for home contents insurance. If burglars don't break into your house and steal your valuables, you don't get a refund.

Well, what does that say about your mind, still rambling on about how you were treated years ago? Get stimulated and change or you will be zombified.

Zoom in on his face - the horns are showing.

Not Trump this time, but RFK Jr. He now claims that early circumcision is a cause of autism. As one commenter said, 85% of drivers involved in car accidents had cereal for breakfast, so breakfast cereal is responsible for car accidents. Another said that 99% of cancer sufferers admit to cleaning their teeth with toothpaste. Therefore toothpaste must be responsible for cancer. He's a bigger idiot than Trump.

Correct Nev.

That's correct. You M(ache) me F(eel) like (dance)(ink).

No takers? It's Werner Klemperer, who played Colonel Klink on Hogan's Heroes, on the condition that he was made to look like a bumbling fool. Klemperer is Jewish and was a holocaust survivor

This is copied from a post on Facebook. I was not sure where to post it, I thought here was as good a place as any. I don’t give a flying xxxxx who this offends, but I stand by it. Conflict is coming, sooner or later! Australia is broken. You the Government, all of you are out of touch with the people that you re supposed to represent ! The cost of living is so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their children (single parents stand no chance)😥. You took religion out of schools. There is NO discipline for the majority of youth today. Well, now most of those kids are rude and out of control. You shall reap what you sow! We have taken a whole generation and turned them into selfish, entitled brats who have no respect for people, property or authority! You deem people with terminal illnesses and some with only a few months to live…fit for work!!! You allow our veterans of war to go homeless and hungry but give out billions to foreign aid!!! You save drug addicts over and over again but refuse to give free diabetic supplies to those who need them to stay alive. You bend over backwards to be politically correct, too scared to say enough is enough, in case you offend someone. You put the retirement age up so people must work until they drop. You take care of prisoners and give them everything under the sun (food, medical, education, representation, money, rehabilitation) yet you cause the elderly, those that have paid their debt to society and their families, to go broke caring for them either at home or in a nursing home... THINGS NEED TO CHANGE! Copy & paste if you have the guts! I’m betting most of my friends have the guts.

Before I spill it, let's see if anyone else can get it.

Correct.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lost out on the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan democratic opposition leader. https://www.newsweek.com/nobel-peace-prize-winner-2025-donald-trump-live-updates-10858264?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1760083758

Many shopping malls are expanding. Two near me are Eastland at Ringwood and Knox City at Wantirna. I used to work new Eastland and it was a nice little mall about 30 years ago. Today it is a jungle. I've only had to go there three or four times in the last year, and I have no idea where things are. I have to take my daughter as a guide. Knox City is pretty much the same. My regular mall is Forest Hill Chase, and it is still fairly small. But there are about a dozen shops or more closed for renovations at any one time. They move around to renovated shops so you've got to hunt for what you want, but it's still only three levels. There is no indication of any extensions. One of the travelators has been under repair, promised "soon", since last Christmas. Some stores, like the butcher, and JB Hi-Fi have left the mall and a few retail chains have gone into liquidation here and elsewhere (eg Rivers clothing and footwear). But new stores are moving in. KFC are about to open in the food mall, 20 metres from McDonalds, and a fourth audiologist/hearing aid shop is opening. There's a Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and two Asian supermarkets.

3 days huh? The answer is C. With 6 to the front, the dice rotates to the left, so 5 moves to the top.

What did you expect when you got back, a bronze statue in town, a house, a car? What about Finland, where EVERYONE must do compulsory conscription and become a reservist. Their attitude is "We'll look after ourselves and not rely on someone else to do it for us." They have a gun ownership similar to America. Universal male conscription is in place, under which all mentally and physically capable men serve for 165, 255, or 347 days, from the year they turn 18 until the year they turn 29. Alternative non-military service for men and voluntary service for women is available. Finland's official policy states that a wartime military strength of 280,000[1] personnel constitutes a sufficient deterrent. The army consists of a highly mobile field army backed up by local defence units. The army defends the national territory and its military strategy employs the use of the heavily forested terrain and numerous lakes to wear down an aggressor, instead of attempting to hold the attacking army on the frontier.Reserve personnel 870,000.
