Garlic used to bother me but now I use it a lot. Cigarette  smokers really stink but BO is usually because the individual is unwell or chews Betel nut etc. I've used underarm deodorant's to get rid of Ringtail possums'. Not mine, it's what my sons used at the time, Dreadful stuff.  Nev

Didn't the Viet Cong know when Yanks were about because they exuded the small of butter or other fats that were not typical of Vietnamese or the jungle?  That could have been earlier on in the "Intervention". Later it was just a case of sniffing the air for gunja.

I did read Colonel Hackworth's book ("About Face") in which he aleged that one of his methods of reducing the losses of his soldiers was to prohibit washing with soap, shaving, and eating western food for 24hrs prior to every patrol.  Otherwise the enemy could smell them coming from a great distance.

[kgwilson]

Given a dogs sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 more acute than a humans it is just pure logic to train them to sniff out anything that may be harmful to you.

[Bruce Tuncks]

I like seeing those sniffer dogs at "work". They really need to be cheered on and I like that too.

News today that Murdoch's engagement is off, as he is not happy with her “outspoken evangelical views”. No-one knows if she will keep the $2.5 mill diamond ring.

[rgmwa]

She probably told him he's not likely to get to Heaven.

[facthunter]

IF there is one I doubt he will get there. even though he has a Papal (Paypal?) Knighthood.   Nev

[Marty_d]

I'd have thought at 92 he couldn't afford to knock back many women.

[Jerry_Atrick]

He is one of few that can

 

Maybe she is one of the evangelicals that just wants money and he worked it out?

Lucifer is always in conflict with the Archangel Gabriel.

[Bruce Tuncks]

I reckon Lucifer was more democratic so he deserves more support.

I reckon he soon picked up she was a religious BS-artist of the highest order. She's always out to control the narrative around her, and there's a huge amount of secrecy surrounding her upbringing and origins. Seems like she has a fondness for rich old men who are vastly older than her. Gee, who'd have imagined that scenario?

 

I like the way she claimed she couldn't handle the media being focused on her, as she was such a "private person" who "valued her privacy". What a load of crap, she had her own live radio show, with her obviously loving the limelight, and generating all those brainless followers of her. She's a female Trump.

Can’t find it now, but I saw a joke about a gold-digging bimbo who lost interest in her latest conquest when she realised he was only 69, not 96.

[facthunter]

The older they are, the quicker they die. Old guy with wads of money/   Irresistible. An opportunity not to be missed. by focussed Maidens that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths.  Nev

There's a smutty comment in those words and numbers, but I will restrain myself.

[facthunter]

Yes  there are children who may be on this site.   Number 96 was a series on the  TV. way back.  Nev

We are so used to seeing pictures of American cities that are  fresh and vibrant looking like this picture of part of Pittsburgh 

or Wilmington North Carolina 

 

But have a look at Gary, Indiana

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I have spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh back in the late 90's/early noughties. PGH is (or was) a really good US city. When it looked like my company was going to move me to the US, it was high on the list. Quite safe, clean and tidy, good educational facilities and the like. It was also quite green. Mt Washington had some great bars that overlooked the city. The outer suburbs were OK..

 

(Cable car that goes up Mt Washington).

 

Miles better than Philadelphia, which is a poop-hole. I worked there a lot, too and on the weekends, I was in NY - about an hour drive north, from memory.

I'm so glad you didn't post those pictures on the "Funny Pictures" thread.

 

Perhaps there is still some hope for Australia!

[nomadpete]

By that, I mean, it isn't funny. It is life, but not as we know it (here).

I know tattoos are popular these days, although I’m glad our kids don’t have any, but you really have to wonder why some people choose to destroy their faces like that. We’ve got a well known bikie here in Perth, Troy Mercanti, who  has also obliterated his face.

[facthunter]

The Māori ones are impressive.  Nev

[rgmwa]

They are, but because they are both traditional and quite artistic I find them much more acceptable than the weird skeletal stuff.
