  1. My job was to fill the kero tank with a tin pump and check to see the little flame was still showing in the reflector.
  2. We put five kids through university in Melbourne without having to live there. I would be in the Riverina given a choice, but SWMBO likes central Vic.

    Israel

    At the end of the movie The Majestic, Jim Carey makes a speech along the lines that some things are worth fighting and dying for. Problems like Iran cannot be resolved by diplomacy, it will take a hot war and a coalition that is prepared to both kill the enemy and lose some of its own people. It will happen sooner or later. Meanwhile we get atrocities like Hamas. I support everything the Israelis are doing.
  4. Quite true Spacey. Sun is in the south in summer northern Australia.
  5. That looks like it! Wonder how long it will keep shining.
  6. When it’s winter in Australia, is the sun in the north or the south of the sky?

    Whr is an abbreviation for Watt hour. What Australian town has those three letters, in that order, in its name?
  12. Did you say ostrich eyed? That’s why they are dirty, they stick their heads in the sand.
  13. Any one know what this is? Picked it up on a path yesterday and it is still glowing. It is tiny.
  14. If I want to keep caravanning and not go home, does that make me homophobic?
  15. How do you avoid giving people a dirty look.
  16. No he designed it to front the bay, but they built it with an unattractive wall facing the bay and the beautiful facade facing an internal street.
  17. This should be in the Gripes thread but I haven’t got my glasses. Just got up for a wee at the camp ground , got to the lock on the dunny door but didn’t have my glasses, peed my Jami’s while I was trying combinations. Should have gone behind a tree but they were defended by kangaroos.
  18. Or you try to pull the chain in your wife's shoe cupboard.
  19. Same story is told about the Maryborough Vic railway station, that it was intended for Qld. Also the architect of the Taj hotel in Bombay who killed himself because they built it the wrong way around.
  20. Our dentist sends a reminder to my wife to send Peter in for a checkup. They have done it for years. I like it that way, because when I ignore it she gets the further reminders.
  21. Yeah, just spray it over the fence that way.
