  2. The real problem with councils is the replacement of the shire engineer with ten unqualified administrators.
  3. I would pay people to finish all my half finished jobs, including vehicle projects.
  4. I have two friends who are a vigorous 90 and will be having lunch on Monday with someone who just turned 96. There is hope for all of us.
  5. If it was totally dark, how do you know it was the doctor blowing in your ear? What was the nurse like?
  6. The anti semitic movement in Australia is now so strong and widespread that many anti semites don’t even know that they are repeating drivel. People like Grace Tame were prominent in the the Nazi era in Germany and were allowed to speak their racist poison, until the trains began to roll.
  7. A Panther sloper was always on my wish list. I have a rigid 1936 Enfield but it does my back in.
  8. Abe Kozminsky, but the DNA result is dodgy. I think there is only a 10% chance or less that it was him.

  14. I have no doubt the effects of this war will linger for years. There will be lots of negative effects. But if the USA succeeds in ridding the world of the source of much of its international terrorism, the benefits are likely to greatly outweigh the costs. It is just too early to tell. But if you don’t have a go and roll the dice, nothing changes.
  15. This thread feels like an echo chamber. I think attacking Iran is the best good thing Trump has done. In all wars, the outcome cannot be predicted and you just have to act against evil when it's manifestation becomes unbearable.
  16. I understand it was almost impossible to bail out anyway.
  17. I have never heard that word before.
  18. I has a weekly two hour commute in the school bus in 64. Luckily it has had radio speakers so I heard all the new Beatles tracks as they came out.
  19. I read that junior was hit in the same attack that killed hid dad and family. Has been in a coma since. Doesn’t know he is the new ayatollah.
  20. Whatever the outcome we will be able to say that Trump has pulled it off again.

  22. My wife's hybrid is a Corolla Cross. Service cost is $250 once a year. Low fuel consumption, good ground clearance.
  23. We have always been used to it. Nothing has changed.
  24. America's civil war left 600,00 dead, which is far more than the current skirmish in Iran. Although England and France remained neutral, they supported the south. There must be a lingering political memory of all that.
  25. Mrs and I bought in Central Vic 30 years ago, 40 acres. It was good until I got crook and couldn't look after the olive trees and sheep. Now living in "town" with a pub and post office, 20 minutes from the shops. Its good because she likes going to town most days. On my own I would probably starve.
