I've had two big gum trees fall on the house in a severe storm earlier this year. They were not even our trees. They were on the road verge but were tall enough to reach the house and cause a lot of damage. Not a nice experience.
-
When someone was asked how they were coping with all the stress and anxiety and uncertainty caused by the constantly changing Covid medical advice and lockdowns, they said " No problem, I'm used to all that. I shop at Aldi." -
IGA and ALDI are the main ones.

He had a mental and physical breakdown which he describes in the book.

Robert Pirsig as I recall. Read it years ago although I've never ridden a motorbike.
-
Of course not. And I agree.
-
Because the suggestions he made about what could and should be done to try and prevent another Bondi happening in the future were reasoned and sensible. He was a good treasurer in his time and Albo is a good Prime Minister, but neither have a monopoly on good ideas.
-
Josh Frydenberg just gave Albo and the government an angry serve on their failure to do enough to counter anti-semitism. Made some very good points and handed him an action plan. I hope Albo’s listening.

That’s rubbish.

Looks pretty excessive to me: https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2025/jan/20/devastation-aerial-views-gaza-ceasefire-in-pictures

A cuppa? I made a thermos and it still wasn’t enough!

The claim that President Trump declared "war on foreign names" and ordered all states and cities to be renamed in "good old English" is false.
-
According to the label they're not only boneless, but `inverted' as well. That doesn't sound good.
-
Not all of them were happy about the $85,000 either because there was a cut-off date as I recall and some missed out, and others thought they should have got more. It's a tough one and there's no easy answer but at least the WA Govt tried to do something to compensate for past mistakes.
-
Tradition, or they just haven't caught up with the news yet?
-
She's good at her job and probably didn't do anything she wasn't allowed to under the rules, however she (and a lot of other politicians of all stripes) should have seen the warning flags and paid out of her own pocket for her family to attend these events. However the obvious point is that the rules need to change to align with public expectations and Albo needs to get onto it.

Americanism over riding Aus, why don't people care.

Probably because somebody picked it up to have a look at it. -

Don't bother with the spell checker. Half the fun of reading Jerry's posts is figuring out what he's trying to say. -
Best city in Australia IMO. Not too big, clean, very good road and rail network, cycle tracks everywhere, generally good weather and the Swan river running through the city makes for great views from King's Park (2,000 acres). I came over from Melbourne for work and stayed, although the Western District is still home in a lot of ways. Always enjoy going back there. Lived in Warrnambool for three years (nice place but cold and windy). Grew up in Port Fairy and Portland and worked in Cobden for a while before heading overseas for three years.
-
The Warrnambool to Melbourne train runs five time per day (weekdays). I grew up in the area and used it quite often in the past to visit family since I moved to Perth in 1980. Pretty good service.

For once I'm in semi-agreement. I have a couple of nephews and they and they friends use it a lot. That's their choice and I'm fine with not fining them, but I just don't like the word. -
Trump has just declared the airspace above Venezuela closed to all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers. I suppose that means he has just annexed Venezuela as the 51st State (they have lots of oil and Trump doesn't like Maduro or their boats, so why not?). Bad luck Canada, you had your chance.

GON, that is just so wrong it's not even worth commenting anymore.
-
It has been said that most shark attacks occur in waist deep water in places like Sydney Harbour, until someone pointed out that that's where most of the people are.

Sending in the National Guard during the election to confiscate the ballot boxes in Democratic majority states or where the polls are showing a swing against him, claiming he is only doing so to prevent election fraud and preserve Democracy.
