  1. I trust the BBC and look up their news app a couple of times each day. I listen to their podcasts like Newscast, Americast, Ukrainecast. And others. They are also biased but provide balanced choice of content.
  2. I had years of communal showers in the boys hostel then decades of the same in mining. Have seen or experienced all sorts of bullshit but no one I ever heard of was harmed by it. I can’t believe these sooks are taken seriously.
  3. Those blokes sooking about Alan Jones should try travelling in an 80-man mine cage every day when you are 17 years old. How does that grab you baby? Get tough or go home.
  4. Besides which, we are a western democracy and a million miles from what the Chinese would have us be. Despite what the current traitors in our parliament are doing.
  5. A big yellow and black goanna is very scary up close, particularly if you are sitting on the ground (fishing) and turn around to see him right behind you stealing bait.
  6. I once had a cat run up me to get onto a veranda but I am told a goanna is worse.
  7. What YEAR is it? I never planned anything after 2020.
  8. Defund it means shut it down. I never thought to say that but here I am. Twenty years ago I relied totally on the ABC for my news, and listened to it for two hours a day during my commute. Ten years ago I relied on the ABC website and TV news. A couple of years ago I watched shows on ABC Iview. Now I do none of those - there is nothing worth listening to, reading or watching. What's more, I don’t trust anything that the ABC provides. Shut it down.
  9. They should stop beating around the bush.
  10. Reagan was great! How could you say otherwise?
  11. Does anyone else find the new ABC news online format impossible to read?
  12. Biden was an ineffectual president who allowed events around the world to spiral out of control as foreign leaders realised what he was. I thought he was at least honest, but now that is gone. He will be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever.
  13. If its there this morning, its a magic roundabout.
  14. Sort of like having hundreds and thousands on your Freckle.
  15. I just looked that series up. It was made in 1964-65 and was called "Decision: the conflicts of Harry S. Truman". It is all available on Youtube.
  16. In about 1966 I watched a series called “ the recollections of Harry S Truman” which was largely based on interviews with him. Very interesting to me as a young bloke. I would watch it again.
  17. The ABC is becoming less and less reliable. I read the Murdoch press and find it just as reliable as the alternatives. They are all full of opinion masquerading as fact.
  18. We will never know what he might have achieved in his first term if he hadn’t been constantly attacked by Pelosi and co. He never really had a chance that time. I wouldn't have voted for him, but now they have him and I wish him well.
  19. Some friends have UFO caps. It stands for United Flying Octogenarians.
  20. Same argument goes against 22 year old flying instructors.
  21. Trump will achieve a lot of things that need to be done and would not have been done otherwise. He might break a few things along the way.
  22. The Story of O was about something else entirely.
