  1. With the father dead, we may never know what caused the gunmen to take the action they did. Was it purely ideological hatred of Jewish people, or could it be that they have lost numerous family members in Gaza through Netanyahu's genocide that tipped them over the edge. Netanyahu has been charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024. And yet he has the nerve to lecture us, I don't condone their actions in any way, but one can understand their reaction when these IDF actions continue unabated, while the world heaps pity on the Jews. We condemn Putin for trying to grab territory from Ukraine, but say it is OK for Israel to grab territory on the West Bank.
  2. This is the fan I bought, only mine is black. About 9 inches high. $14. 3 speeds. Keeps the face and neck nice and cool. Rechargeable battery, plugs into a USB port or charger.
  3. Here is the group around the barbie. Many didn't/couldn't come, particularly from the Thursday and Friday groups.
  4. You weren't invited.
  5. The last couple of days have been quite hot. So much so that I went and bought a small face fan that can sit beside the computer. Today was our Men's Shed Christmas barbeque. It is overcast and the wind is so cold it would freeze the medals off a brass general. Fortunately the snags had been cooked by 10:45, so I had mine and was home by midday. My hanky was so wet you could wring it out.
  6. Your are entitled to your opinion. As far as I'm concerned, these useless pieces of shit are not worth worrying about. Pure oxygen thieves. The world is better off without them. I know the world is concerned what is happening to the Jews and the fallout from Oct 7, but who is caring about the thousands who have been killed and injured in Gaza with the endless attacks by IDF. Those people (ordinary Gazans, not Hamas) are entitled to live as well, and their relatives are suffering like the Jews. Religion has so much to answer for. It's supposed to make us better people. The Bondi hero has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. Regarded around the world as a great hero.
  7. NSW Police Commissioner's public announcement: The gunmen were a 50yo father and his 24yo son. The father had 6 guns licenced to him, and the police say they recovered 6 guns from the scene. The father was killed and the son is in critical but stable condition in hospital. The father had held gun licences for 10 years. The brave citizen who attacked the gunman and saved countless lives was a suburban fruiterer and father of two.
  8. The death toll has climbed to 16 this morning. At least one shooter got the punishment he deserved. The other should have got the same. Why deport them? No-one else wants them. Do unto them as they did unto others. They are worthless scum.
  9. 11:30 pm update. 12 Dead, including a 12 year old girl. 29 in hospital, some critical. One perpetrator dead, one in custody. One of them known to ASIO, not considered dangerous. Explosive devices discovered in a car. Removed. The man who disarmed one shooter was shot in the arm by the other shooter on the bridge.
  10. Latest update: 10 confirmed dead, at least 16 taken to hospital.

  12. One gunmen was hiding behind a tree shooting at people when the bravest person ever attacked him from behind and wrestled the gun off him. The gunman got up and ran away. The other gunmen on a bridge nearby started shooting at the brave civilian. You will see video on the TV for the next couple of days.
  13. Two men in black, armed with what look like military style rifles started shooting on people celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach. Unconfirmed reports that up to 12 people have been killed, including children. There is a possibility one of the gunmen has been killed.
  14. There's a car dealership yard a couple of k's up the road which has changed hands a few times over the past few years. First it was a Ford dealership, till they moved to a larger premises in Ringwood, then a Holden dealership till Holden ceased production. Recently it was a dealership for Mahindra SUV's and FWD, but at the moment it is empty. We are wondering if an EV dealership might take it over.
  15. Attorney-General Michelle Rowland has been told to repay some of the expenses she claimed for a week-long family trip to Perth, after the independent watchdog found the spending was outside the official guidelines. Ms Rowland referred the expenses to the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) last week, after the Australian Financial Review reported she had billed taxpayers more than $21,000 for the trip in 2023, including $16,050 in flights for her family.
  16. Amish men wear a beard for all sorts of reasons - some rooted in religion, others in tradition - but they all shave their mustaches. The reason for that may surprise you: the Amish are pacifists, and when their movement was just starting out, mustaches were heavily linked with a "military" look, favored by officers and soldiers. To distinguish themselves from these military men, the Amish decided to shave their mustaches off - and while today, military men prefer a clean-shaven look, the tradition has stuck!
  17. Dick Van Dyke has turned 100 years of age.
  18. Dr. Keith Suter passed away peacefully in hospital at the age of 77. He was a renowned foreign affairs commentator and a respected voice on Seven's news programs.

  21. I believe travel by family members should be paid for by the member personally. I don't think many employers pay family members travel. It's been years since I travelled anywhere, and things may have changed. Public funds should only be used for official business travel. I shouldn't have to struggle to put food on the table while paying to send someone else's son off to go skiing or play football.
  22. A: Barron Trump's fortune is mainly from their rorting of cryptocurrency. B: T.R.U.M.P is crying about how much they are losing through falling tourism.
