    You wouldn't like me when I’m angry
  5. There will be huge losses from the AI ponzi scheme. This is probably the start.
  6. Hope you get them.
  7. It isn’t that he is a liar, that is in the job description. It is the left wing policies in industrial relations, taxation and welfare that are destroying our economy. Worst PM since Whitlam.
  8. A member of our classic club swapped his solo for an outfit on a club run, with no sidecar experience. He and his son were killed.
  9. Living in Vic I miss real weather.
  10. Looked it up Target: HRH Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Victoria, who was visiting Sydney as captain of HMS Galatea. Location: A public picnic and sailor's home benefit at the beachfront pleasure grounds in Clontarf(Sydney, New South Wales). Assailant: Henry James O’Farrell, an Irish-born man with a history of mental instability and heavy drinking, shot the Prince in the back with a revolver.
  11. My friend's ancestor shot a Royal in Australia, but only winged him. A prince I think, in about 1870.

  16. I have spent a couple of hours on the phone over four calls with the Westpac bank as they are trying to re-confirm my customer identity. I have banked with them for thirty years at least. I sent them a copy of my driver's licence and, when that was unacceptable, my passport. They say I am not McCarthy but I am Mc Carthy. The space is on my driver's licence and my passport, has always been there and had never caused a problem before. So, I sent them my birth certificate. They say that it is not necessarily me because, although it shows my father's name in full, it only gives my two Christian names, so my surname could be anything. At that point I lost my cool and now may be looking for a new bank.
  17. He was just about to launch his final book.
  18. I find it very helpful. Particularly with solving IT problems at home.

  23. If you tripped over it, it was a logarithm.
  24. Back in the 1970s I use to talk to Eliza, the very first AI, to amuse my children. Here is an emulator if you want to try it today. Eliza (elizabot.js)
