spacesailor Posted October 23 Posted October 23 (edited) Our ' bowsers ' have liquid in them . I pour liquid petrol out of a can . Who , has poured gaseous fuel into a fuel tank orifice. It would be a very dangerous task . And , liquid petrol is hard to light . An egg-cup filled to the brim , only burns the fuel that has " gassed " off the top . Dry-ice floating in petrol makes it super safe . How do the carbies & injectors work with gas fuel . School science. spacesailor PS. : LPG should be GPG ? .

red750 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 "Gas" in the US is an abbreviation of Gasoline, not the physical state of the product. . Petrol in Australia is an abbreviation of Petroleum. 1 2

Marty_d Posted October 29 Posted October 29 It's a tradition bound up with a lot of dodgy history - these days (hopefully) usually entered because of love, but historically more to do with property/money rights, political/social power, shame (eg preggers)... some cultures the parties haven't even met before the wedding. My wife and I are married, reasonably happily - but I do wonder what the future will look like. "Thruples" and polyamory is becoming more widespread as the cultural imperative to have the same partner for life reduces. When you think of it, love and attraction are not limited to one person (even at a time) - so if shame and jealousy were removed then all sorts of combinations are possible. 1
spacesailor Posted October 29 Posted October 29 A lot of my grandies are not married, as Australian law Classes partners as marrid couples. I'm talking two maybe three out of fifteen. IT's still cheaper to dissolve a partnership , than a full Divorce. With those expensive lawyers grabbing the cream off the top . spacesailor
Jerry_Atrick Posted October 29 Posted October 29 At law, a defacto couple have the same rights as a married couple (family law act), save if any one of the partners is legally still married, in whic case the nuptial partner (can't recall the word for it) would have rights to the property over the defacto partner. The difficulty in a de facto relationship is proving there is one; the law was made more complex in this area a few years ago. The cost of a separation and custody allocation for a divorce or defacto separation is directly proprtional to the attitude of the people invovled 1
