My grandmother married a returned soldier in 1919. He jumped out of the hospital window a week later. Then she married another returned soldier, my grandfather, who was born in Wingen. She said he had been Wingen ever since.

He was given one million dollars for handing over the chopper. Perhaps he was carrying it in diamonds.

Ernst & Young was engaged by the Minerals Council of Australia to provide a report calculating the royalty and company tax payments for the minerals sector in 2020-21. Royalties were $16.7 billion in 2020-21, while net company taxes were expected to reach $26.5 billion in the same year. In total, mining company tax payments plus royalty payments were estimated at $43.2 billion in 2020-21, a 26.5 per cent increase from the $34.2 billion recorded in 2018-19.
Likely to fall this year and beyond due to fall in price of green energy minerals including nickel and lithium, with closure of mines and smelters.

Both of those measurements use an artificial measurement system developed by humans recently. Any correlation is pure fantasy.

In the late 1950s (I think) the ABC had a radio show “ memories of Mo”. So us oldies might remember that of not the 1930s.

In 1934, Roy Rene starred in the film Strike me lucky, the title of which comes from one of his many catchphrases. Many of Rene’s favorite catchphrases are still part of the Australian vernacular. Other catchphrases included 'Don't come the raw prawn with me' (to tell someone not to try and deceive you or misrepresent the situation) and 'Fair suck of the sav' (to indicate incredulity or to le

"Because both tapes do very similar jobs, the correct name to use is often confused because "duck" and "duct" are homophones."
Before we had gay dating sites, we had homophones.
