Another random thought... often when a young female is assaulted, murdered or falls victim to something else, photos of the person are published which make them look like a victim in search of a tragedy. In other words, these photos taken from Farcebook or other social media do not show young women like my children or grandchildren, but rather show pouting, over made-up girls who seem to be trying to look like hookers. I know it is absolutely forbidden to suggest that they have attracted trouble, but someone should be honest about it.

The Donbass is the richest part. I can see Trump doing a deal with the NATO allies in which they do the training and fighting, host US bases, while he spends dollars in the USA making shells, bombs and advanced weapons to send over in support. In return for mineral and technology deals with Ukraine.

Me too...we have an island bench, quite long, which I circumnavigate while the kettle boils. If I don't do it, it means I'm having a bad day.

Hmmm... they just had a democratic election with a clear outcome. So how is democracy dead?

I rely on the BBC for my news when I get contradictory stories in Australia.

The more important question is where are they going?

All of that. Frames from local materials, and walls from rolls of plastic carried in by chopper. You could certainly hear the bloke in the next room snoring.

What colliery owners? The collieries had been nationalised into the National Coal Board.

Ballaarat was still the official name a few years ago. Balla arat (pronounced as two words), is a Wathaurong name signifying a camping or resting place, balla meaning elbow, or reclining on the elbow.

I was living in Ballarat when NV stopped making engines and shut down the factory. They had earlier absorbed another large Ballarat company, Ronaldson and Tippett. John Tippett told me he had travelled to England during the war to arrange manufacture of a portable generator for the military, which was quite successful.

I want back the five push buttons on my AM radio. Much less distracting than a touch screen. And there are never more than five stations worth listening to.

Back on topic...The insurance assessor asks "how high could you lift the arm before?" and Spacey's arm shoots straight up.

Are you suggesting we had big climate events before global warming destroyed our environment? Straight to the naughty corner.

Well known personalities who have passed away recently (Renamed)

There is a really good six-part series on SBS on demand at present called So Long, Marianne about the early life of Leonard Cohen. He was the lover of Charmian Clift when they lived on Hydra. Charmian's (illegitimate) daughter Suzanne was my teacher at Wagga Wagga high school and Suzanne's daughter Gina Chick was the winner of Alone Australia Season 1, after surviving 67 days alone, making her only the second female and oldest contestant in the history of the Alone worldwide to win.
