  1. Great work! Soon you will finish your apprenticeship in archaic architecture restoration. There are some great bargain do-er-uppers you can pick up for a song.... in Italy. Or France.... or Spain. https://renovita.net/ Map of One Euro houses in Italy. So much to choose from!
  2. I try to look after my bedside two strokes. (Nobody ever called me Victa!)
  3. My point is, the other parties are too afraid to voice the 'will of the people'. Oh, and this sentiment is a consequence of Chump's ramblings. I call them ramblings because they do not seem connected to rational outcomes.
  4. The way modern politics works, the French are justified if they ask for it back.
  5. Do You use astroglide at 100:1 or 50:1? Is it good for the chainsaw, too?
  6. Ok I stand corrected. Chev was an early adoptor of OHV.
  7. I forgot to ad: NOT the Greens Who should have had the gonads to ride this sentiment. No, it was a very minor politicsl party.
  8. As did most other cars pre 1930
  9. Chev 'Flying Four' was possibly SV There weren't many Americal OHV motors in 1920
  10. Clearly a dangerous terrorist. Congratulations to Border Force for protecting America from free speech!
  11. Consequences.... Who do you think said this? Hint: NOT Labor NOT Liberals NOT Nationals Of course NOT Hanson or Palmer “Pine Gap – they need it like no tomorrow. Just tell ‘em we’re going to switch it off in seven days. “Obviously there’s no loyalty and mateship left here. He’s made that quite clear." Oh, also NOT old mate GON
  12. Thank you so much for posting, Jerry. What with all the distressing stuff on politics, it's nice to read about constructive activity. Sure you had some setbacks. But the renovation thread is all about overcoming setbacks in a positive way. There's not much of that in the news this year!
  13. America has the same problem as all drmocracies...... The electorate vote for the shark, but they have the memory of a goldfish.
  14. Yes they make buggie-cars. But they also make real sedans, too. However although it is touted as an 'all African' car manufacturing industry, it was mentioned that it was 'in collaboration ' with two Chinese companies. Hence my question.
  15. No. Can't afford one.
  16. I see that there is some media comment about Africa making a indigenous EV. Is this just a smokescreen for chinese manufacturing going offshore to avoid possible tariffs and sanctions? https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/burkina-faso-joins-africas-electric-vehicle-market-with-launch-of-new-ev-brand/y7p112y?op=1
  17. He can't resist taking the bait
  18. Good thing you weren't born as a fish.....
  19. My swimming performance depends on how far I am from the shore when the boat sinks. Not great at it unless there is a lot of incentive.
  20. Life is cruel. Way back when my children were just a gleam in daddy's eye, nobody warned me that there is no guarantee that I will actually like my children. Or that they will like me. A sign of being a successful parent, is when you find yourself disagreeing with your growing offspring.... without any upset to either party.
  21. Particularly when we see who takes his place. Same goes for orange-o-tan.
  22. At the moment, we have a great reason to quit the deal. If we bail out now, the rest of the world will cheer us on. I hope somebody shows the initiative to act now.
  23. Very good point - very few Timorese could afford the ticket to get to USA even if they wanted to go there. And as far as I'm aware, no Timorese has offended the giant orange ego.
  24. I was being sarcastic. Trumpet usually uses tariffs to punish his perceived enemies. I'm sure he could come up with some excuse. Drugs, maybe?
  25. Should he have just slapped a tarrif on them instead?
