    At first terrump two was worrying. Then it got crazy. Now its just getting ridiculous. If it was the script for a B grade comedy, nobody would bother to watch it. Why do we?

    That plan didn't work out very well for Wagner's boss.

    Is SFM still running Tourism Au?

    Trees? I love em. Our sanctuary is not without risk. The last one that fell over over is a metre across at the base. I borrowed a splitter and have gifted a couple of tonnes of firewood to friends & neighbours. All good. Manage the risk. Better than livin in the concrete jungle (city) & hoping for the government to look after us.

    Nev, you are such a worry wort. everyone does their own risk assessment

    No no no no.... remember the great flying days in good ole Australian skies? Otherwise you'll never come back. I was looking forward to sharing a glass or two with you. (BTW there's hardly any giant moths down here nowadays.)

    Twas a nice day for flying or riding..... for folk who have a quality anorak. The day started at +2 degrees, the grass was white and crunchy underfoot but it 'warmed' right up to double digits! Better down here than the mainland - my brother-in-law is trapped in a supermarket carpark @ Armidale - snowed in. No vacancies in town. The New England Hwy is closed by snow/ice.

    I doubt that Australia was legally bound by supply contracts - that relate to the 21 aforementioned (as yet) UNDEVELOPED fossil fuel mines.
  11. nomadpete
    A brief comparison.... Trump..... "Drill baby, drill!" Albo.... Quietly approves 20 NEW fossil fuel mining projects! Trump..... Cancel climate targets. Albo..... Quietly backs away from climate targets (whilst the opposition tables a plan to cancel targets completely) Is Albo just a more polite trump?

    So far, classic capitalism is still hanging on in USofA. At least, it is for the top 1% of the wealthy elites But now, it is starting to show the equally classic signs of reaching a critical high from which a total collapse is inevitable. I believe either Stalin or Lenin foretold of this pathway. If this occurs, what is the likely outcome and what timeframe can we expect?
  13. nomadpete
    All the rest I am disgusted by, but reluctantly agree with. Life continues...... Downhill for us plebs.

    We do so have football teams! Lots of em! Who cares if one particular footy team has delusions of grandeur? And, it's only a small part of Australia that even knows Hawthorn even exists!
  15. nomadpete
    Oh, also..... We don't really care whether you even care about the football.

    G'day Natn. I sympathise with your disillusionment about your government. But unfortunately we have similar stories about some of our own government. Jerry has summarised what to expect if (or when) you arrive in Australia to study. Although he implies that he might be an Englishman, he is actually an Australian - living temporarily in the UK. He knows the situation well. He might also shed some light on the comparison between the study options in UK and Australia.

    I used to take the family to Noosa for holidays. We'd stay at the caravan park at the end of Hastings street. Back then it was affordable. Great bushwalks. And there weren't any Ebikes at all. Safe and fun for all ages and finances. Now I doubt I'd be able to afford to take a family there to stay a fortnight by the beach! Aaah, the memories!

    I dunnow, ask OME. He's our grammar grandad

    I'm looking forward getting 'just warm and comfortable' ......... In a couple of months
  20. nomadpete
    Nah, Spacey. I disagree about the happy boss. I used to come into work with a happy smile on my face..... and it just made my boss grumpy and nervous. He thought I was after his job. Maybe I shouldn't have left copies of managerial magazines lying around. But it made us workers happy! (Not making that up)

    To be fair, roosters are quite nice.... Its all in the sauce.

    My blood ran cold when we were walking near a river up the cape. My mate said... "Wasn't there a log on the riverbank over there? Well it isn't there now!"

    So FB didn't need to obtain your picture to verify you! Big Brudder is watching you!

    With all that practice, he ought to be faily good. But he must be a bit unco to have to get his caddy to cheat for him.

    Does the Cat execs agree?
