  1. Apparently you're dead now.

    Wait a minute, it is still the 7th of October here, for another 40 minutes. Perhaps the prediction if for one of the US time zones? I get to survive a bit longer. spacer.png

     

     

  2. spacer.pngspacer.png No need to be like that. I get it already.

    But I do know quite a few people who would be nodding their heads in a sincere agreement with your observations.

     

    Please don't say anything unpleasant about them. They're family. :-)

    ....and they are fellow forumites who both thank and worship this God of heaven.

     

     

  3. Well our regular vet quoted $800-900 (when they thought it was 1 tooth) and my response was "Jesus christ! For a TOOTH?"Shopping around did the trick however and ended up getting the whole thing done for $550.

     

    "Jesus Christ! For a DOG?"

    You are using Jesus' name on the Atheist's Thread!

     

     

  4. ...

     

    How does the money go around? The manufacturer add 10c per container to the wholesale price. The retailer repays the manufacturer and adds 10c per container for retail. The consumer repays the retailer 10c at time of purchase and the depot pays the collector 10c. Who pays the depot?

     

    ...

    Here's an idea for arbitrage:

     

    If you live in Broken Hill, NSW, you get the goods without the 10 cent loading and then, next time you need to go over the border to SA, you take a bootload with you and get the money to help you pay for your trip.

     

     

  5. A relative of mine does a lot of digging in the middle east, and is familiar with hierogliphs and hebrew and some other very early languages. Interestingly the word for young girl is the same as virgin. Funny that. Nev

    That is because in quite a number of ancient societies, a girl was meant to stay a virgin until she married which was usually when achieving womanhood.

     

     

  6. But OK! If you don't, YOU WILL BE CRYING AND WORSE

    (obviously god talks in capitals, much like Death in Pratchett novels.)

    If you look in any Bible, there are very few words which are all in capital letters, even where God is speaking.

     

     

  7. Another ex PM. They cost a fortune to keep and how many are we keeping now. Hawke. Keating. Gillard. Howard. Abbot. Kevin whats his name.Have I missed any.

     

    Just think if Howard had handed over to Costello, we would have had the Abbot and Costello government, but I doubt that we would have had Rudd and Gillard.

    Abbott and Costello: that WOULD have been funny.

  8. Everyone is a little crazy - even your Brendan Nelson flirted with the ALP, wore a stud in his ear, was the president of a major trade union well noted for applying the blowtouch to the bellies of government that antagonise it or its members and now rides a Harley - none a good look for somebody supposedly of mental stability.

    Oops, ALP flirters aren't too bad.

    ...and then, there was Mark Latham.

     

     

  9. Either way, if he stirs the established political class out of their settled states for a while, it can't be all bad!Sometimes you need a bit of a nutter to make things interesting for a while. We've had a few.

    Pauline Hansen really stirred up Parliament for the duration she was there.

     

    Now let's see, are there any 'nutters' left in Parliament. I can think of a few.

     

     

  10. For those with short memories- Malcom Turnbull is a merchant banker.

    You remember the GFC- it was caused by merchant bankers and their engineering of financial markets.

     

    The modern snake oil salesmen.

     

    Oh and don't forget the One Tel debacle that cost people billions and Malcom made a handy profit from the whole thing. Some expensive lawyers and smoke and mirrors meant he did not get a jail sentence.

     

    Or the Gordon Gretch affair.

     

    Yep about as trustworthy as a pedophile running a kindergarten.

    More like giving Christopher Skase the keys for him to look after the gold bullion at the Reserve Bank.
