  1. We lend you money to pay us to build a road, You go broke We swing the belt and take possesion
  2. It's a Vauxhaul that has given him the shites so consistently that he has used all his toilet paper ration

  4. not with a base that wide
  5. ask Nicola
  6. camp sight at camp site
  7. Currently the business of politicians is getting elected they have no other role and all policy, respect, and ethics are subsumed to the need to be re elected. There is no respect nor consideration of any policy presented by the other side, if the other proposed it, then it must be bad if its bad then the other side is responsible. Scomo's fair go is honoured by avoiding the ball completely and playing the man as hard as one can That US politics are worse than hours does not make ours attractive or honourable
  8. A popularly elected president cannot but be political. If an election is essential then present to the populace a short list selected by an electral college comprised of parlimentarians and citizens of rank ( not sure how to select them!!) with a small sample of exceptions our current system of selecting/appointing gov general has worked very well. Why not a president the same way?
  9. willedoo did say " I think I'll stick with our little old constitutional monarchy. " A sentiment which I totally agree. We do manage to appoint a gov. general without getting (most times) too political. The whole primary election system in the States resolves around who can raise/spend the most dollars in order to game the system. Nothing about the best candidate nor the best, or most suitable, policies. a most divided nation. I was there my wife and I the only non US citizens in a tour bus for weeks during the last mid term elections. The bus was split into two vociferous camps. The contributions of each being confined to denigrating the other side.
  10. Trump is the master of the put down slogan the "crooked Hillary" line won him many votes as will, I suspect, "do nothing Democrats"
  11. perhaps, however the technique is to ferment it right out in a vessel with an airlock that lets the CO2 pressure out to atmosphere, then transfer to a keg and power the keg from a CO2 (or tavern gas) bottle exactly the same system that the pubs use on a mini scale. Clean, consistent, reliable, and there are few pleasures greater than going to the spigot on the side of your fridge and drawing a cool beer.
  12. Totally agree, kegs are the way to go,!!
  13. If we accept that the climate is changeing then the assertions that is due to human activities is either TRUE or FALSE And we can either ACT to correct or IGNORE resulting in a risk matrix of 4 possible outcomes TRUE & ACT resulting in a livable globe TRUE & IGNORE resulting in a calamity for humanity and other life FALSE & ACT resulting in a livable globe and new industries FALSE & IGNORE resulting in life goes on as before. Whilst this indicates there is a 3 to1 chance of us being OK the other option is so calamitous that I believe we cannot in any conscience take the risk of not acting to reduce human production of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
  14. And then three days later he reneged on the deal and brought the son back to life again.
  15. At least a heritage operating system is probably not vulnerable to malicious intervention from foreign parties.
