    We saw Whiplash on Christmas holidays at my grandparents in Sydney, never saw it in the country. I don’t know what channel.

    There is an old song which mentions “cursed Toongabbie” as a penal settlement.

    Everyone has a secret super power. Mine is the ability to sit or lie still for hours. I learned it when I had to sit on a hard pew in church as a child. Ignore discomfort, ignore brain-deadening noises, just remain still. What is yours?

    A mutual friend has offered a couple of time to take me down the road to meet Facthunter, but I haven't taken it up. I know others on the flying site, but not here. I do consider this part of my social life and, since Covid, I have been avoiding groups other than my Aero Club, which is my main connection with the civilised world. I would miss this site if it folded.

    I am always logged on. I have checked! I saw Octave here a couple of days ago. But we need to attract some new talent, most of us have been here since the site was created and we were the active discusses of shite on the other site. Not many have crossed over since and few outsiders. ian was talking about reintegrating the two sites, that might help.

    No, you are thinking of beavers.

    I think I would prefer Coffin Bay. ( for the oysters).

    You don't get re-runs of your bad efforts either.

    It is disturbing that a minority are now hanging sh#t on the NO voters, who are the majority of Australians, saying they are less educated or gullible or did not do their homework. None of those things are true about me or the circle of friends who I know did not support the Voice. It was always a bad idea and the majority were smart enough to work that out.

    Headline in the Age this morning: Devastating verdict: Australia tells First Nations people ‘you are not special'. they nailed it, exactly! No Australian is special. We all have the same responsibilities and must obey the same laws, and we all have access to the same political processes.

    A referendum cannot fail. There is no success or failure. A referendum is put to determine what the people want.

    In the 1960s the ABC in South Australia had an advert campaign for ‘I like Clive' who was a popular presenter. Someone should dig out a copy and play it for us.

    I have seen virtually no NO advertising, but YES is everywhere. I voted already, NO changing my mind now!

    Billy Thorpe?

    ABC is 100% yes. No balanced reporting at all. Same with the Age.

    At the point they leave home, they are an emigrant.

    There are dashcam videos showing fatal Russian car accidents. I am starting to enjoy them.
  21. pmccarthy
    It’s not the only ethical question for the Russian government.

    Two weeks in 10% molasses and they would be bright. Cost hardly anything.

    Not sure that I believe that. Could be faked. The energy transfer would be incredible.
  24. pmccarthy
    I can make room for that in my shed.
