  1. Not too many Camels by other than Sopwith. (except for modern replicas) Not a name that says "great aeroplane".
  2. My friend bought a fancy gym with everything for about $4k. Sold it to me for about $1000 after a year or so. I never used it either and left it behind when I sold the house.
  3. Learning how to black webbing belts and gaiters or put a bash into a hat has not done me any harm, but nor has it been of any use.
  4. Those Roos must be pretty well educated to comprehend all that.
  5. Careful, or they will set fire to our parliament.
  6. I prefer the term “stemmie”. It is unique to my Broken Hill childhood but is well recognised on slang websites. No one knows what it really means, but we Broken Hillites all know what it means. People like Scomo.
  7. I refuse to watch it so I rely on your reviews!
  8. No responsible manager does this. Saving tax by spending more is a nonsense. An asset is used until an alternative investment becomes more attractive. Of course tax is considered, but it cannot drive waste of assets in the way you propose.
  9. Future generations will wonder how this insanity spread and took hold.
  10. Where is the monument to the Fiat Factotem?
  11. Like many Australians living outside cities, I drive 30-40K km each year. So 6-8 years battery life for us. The economics will be much less attractive for us, and we have range anxiety. And almost everyone needs to tow a horse float, a tandem trailer, a boat or a caravan from time to time.
  12. Those old shells really rectum.
  13. To me a Crescent wrench has always been the adjustable sort in OME's picture.
  14. Apparently my Australian ancestors from Cornwall couldnt understand my Australian ancestor from Orkney. I don't know about the ones from Ireland.
  15. I think Paul Keating pronounced it Suckhole.
  16. I have dealt with many turkeys like that. The Perth junior market seems to attract and encourage them.
  17. It was the year of the battle of Bedcanford.

    Got his stick caught in the second one
  19. Viceroy would be second fiddle to Kingaroy.

    Mining machines are amazing. Ten thousand hours between rebuilds, and they can keep going for a very long time. My ride on mower is clapped out after 700 hours chopping grass.
