I looked around today driving down the hill to the shops and was deep in thought about how the planet is just getting on with its business, the day was beautiful, birds were still flying, critters still around. It seems the most invasive species on earth having a problem is just a blip on the horizon In the great scheme of things. Besides ourselves taking this serious we have no one to bail us out. Watching the news and still seeing people gathering or being in close proximity unnecessarily just irritates me. Our household is limited to me being the designated to go get things we need, since I am still trying to work for as long as I have something to do.

Why does that story work in the uk and australia. We must be suckers for the way we support bludgers that have learnt to suck the system dry.

All of the TP situation has brought back childhood memories for me. When we were kids a chap called Col Elliott was like the wiggles for us, we would listen to his cassettes on road trips in the old falcon 500. one of my favorites and was (as close as I can remember) An Aussie is on holidays in Indonesia and needs the toilet badly, he runs in and drops his strides and dumps a load, then starts looking for toilet paper. He panics when he cant see any, but spots a small sign above a slot in the wall. It reads: We do not believe in cutting trees down and wasting paper, so wipe your rear with your hand, then kindly place your hands through this slot, where they will be licked clean by human lips. He was hesitant but had to do something. so here goes nothing, he wiped, placed his hands in the slot. Bamm!, somebody on the others side hit his fingers with a hammer`. His hands were promptly withdrawn and stuck straight in his mouth. Job Done. Col did this one really well, 35 years later it still makes me chuckle. I am also go and dig through my Dad's stuff and find the tapes. hoping I still have a tape player that works.

I think we should all do our bit to save Corona and drink more, the light one is my pick with lemon or lime. as for toilet paper has every one for gotten it is a relatively modern invention, there has always been crapping and somehow we survived. Sticks, leaves, bark, Newspaper (if not extinct).

Full on tasering for some clown @ 50 years old in Tamworth today being bad in big W Over TP. What is the world coming to.

Very English to be so polite about it.

My wife laughs at my device history. Planes, cars and this forum and weatherzone. i watch you tube when nothing else on, usually Aussie dash cams, flight chops and other aviation ones. i like books in my hand over reading at length on iPad or phone. 2 or 3 novels a week if good ones, only problem is storage, the walk in robe is chockers with books. if I am with people the phone stays away. My kids barely lift their heads from phones and tablets. I couldn’t be kept inside from daylight to dark at their age. They tell us that things are different now.

I like Pauly's humor, especially in Houso's. It's almost a doco in some areas.

Red, the link above has some sort of live cam stuff popping up in the corner, you can’t X it off screen either. maybe a good one to edit off. cheers clint

Excuse me Miss, Is that for your buns??

I have looked out at some of the burnt grounds here-the Moonbi Range and around Ebor, some trees are sprouting the green fluffy regrowth from showers recently, but there are an awful lot that are just black frames out there. these two fires were probably not as large as the 300,000 ha ones so maybe cooler burning. How this country going to recover without consistent rainfall is anyone's guess. There are houses around Ebor that were never visible through the bush, now you can see them, it must of been hard yakka saving them from the fire that has burnt to their doorstep. Even how bare and rocky the Moonbi Range looks without even a speck of growth on the granite sand. I too have been thinking about the Lizards and little things that have no hope of outrunning or escaping fire like this. We have a long recovery ahead. Lets hope the rain keeps coming with the latest storm activity up north.

Lucky I’ve had mine since I was 17, when it was a $200 car. It is now a six figure car. People used to laugh at me liking wog chariots. i don’t think I could part with it. cheers clint

I love muscle cars like my charger, but I would hate to be in a bender in it. They collapse or go like an accordion with no pillars or crumple zones. Just watching you tube vids of that style of body in prangs is horrific

Has anyone else got blank grey squares on Jerry atricks posts. I can’t see images, only comments by others.

coffee cup lids always amuse me: CAUTION CONTENTS HOT. at $5 plus and served cold you would throw it at them.

Recurring theme here Phil, but better than the carrot.?

I don’t know if I want to get better eyesight from carrots now.

Got upgraded to 5g Samsung only 2 months after they supplied a Samsung S10+. Found no real benefit even when in Sydney, does not fit my VR gear by 1/8”, does not fit in the otter box protectors. Also gets very hot in your pocket when not in use. Would not recommend until all bugs fixed- then we will get 6g no doubt.

Thats a bit harsh, pretty tidy back there.

I don’t think I would like to encounter the maidens afterwards.

On YouTube there is a Chevy Malibu being crash tested with an old model Chevy. It is very scary vision. I like old solid cars, but it is ridiculous how much caves in on the dummy. The new car crumples but pax compartment stays intact. Worth a look.

I like the Eagles, was lucky enough to see them in whole at Brisbane in 2012. If you tune out to the lyrics there is some definite similarities. Try listening to new music like Ava Max’s song Phsyco, real catchy in a pop way, her newest is the same song with new lyrics. Rhianna’s stuff is the same. I don’t mind the JT sound in this track, might do a bit of digging and find some more of their stuff and add to the phone playlist.

Bloody L

A customer asked me “what is different between a battery and a woman” today. I told him I didn’t know. Turns out batteries have a positive side.

Could just go so wrong. But cool to watch
