They made Scomo hand in his resignation. That's historic enough.

Stop worrying. I’m sure they’d be open and transparent about how they felt.

As long as the windows are not offended I don't see a problem.

Don't think his mother will see his name on any Russian exchange lists after this interview. Probably just as well for his sake.

Saying he’s going to change at this late stage just invites ridicule. Seems like a bad tactical mistake.

Much as I’m keen to support Ukraine, that’s a very big ask Marty. I’m not sure I’m up to it.

She gave a concert in our small country town once in the 1960’s. She was just as good at classical as she was at honky-tonk.

Wonder if he'd risk an anaesthetic or try to live up to his macho image and stay awake. I'm sure he'd be worried that once he was under everyone might pack up and go home.

Living with uncertainty can be uncomfortable, but belief without doubt on the basis of ancient religious texts seems an impossible combination to me.

If he declares war on Ukraine and starts conscription, the Russian population won't be happy. They may soon begin to question whether this `special operation' is going as well as they've been told, and that maybe the fringe protesters are on to something after all. I can't see that conscription and war is going to enhance Putin's popularity in Russia. It would be a risky step for him to take politically.

I’d say sometime during the 1980’a.

They would have achieved slightly more success by tossing a coin.

Thanks for the correction. I think there’s about 140 episodes so you’ll need more than a bit of spare time. I remember when the Endeavour replica was being built, and also saw the Duyfken under construction in front of the old maritime museum in Fremantle. Hard to imagine how many forests have been cut down over the centuries to build ships.

..... a few episodes back they’re fitting the deck framing and deck planks. All the framing has dovetailed joints. Worth a look if you’ve got some time.

Speaking of tools and craftsmanship, this guy and a few of his mates are re-building/building a 1910 fishing schooner called `Tally-Ho'. He puts out regular videos showing their progress. They've been at it now for quite a while now, but are nearing the finishing stages. They started by literally felling trees and milling the timber. Their craftsmanship is superb - everything fits! Granted they're using a lot of modern tools, but so much is still done with hand-planes, chisels and handsaws and sandpaper. I've been following their videos on and off for a while. I like boats anyway, and am in awe of the effort these guys are putting in and the quality of the results. This is their latest video:

Another irritant heard on every news bulletin on TV is "Let's take a listen" . Take it where? A listen is not an object you can take anywhere!

Judging by the typical condition of the Russian tanks hit by missiles, their crews probably (fortunately) never knew what hit them. I would imagine the surviving tank crews would be some of the more nervous troops currently manning the front lines.

I doubt that Trump would have cared. He would be more likely to say "Ukraine! I should never have given them all that money! What have they ever done for me? That clown Zelensky couldn't even find any dirt on Hunter Biden. Putin can do whatever he likes. He told me Ukraine was always part of Russia anyway and belongs to him, and I believe him. And who needs NATO, anyway? They've been ripping us off for years, and now they want to give all their weapons to Ukraine for free. They're a bunch of idiots. America First!"

Only some of them. I heard he broke a tablet on his way down from the mountain. Apparently there were supposed to be 15, not 10. ...... I just saw Octave's post. Mel Brooks even made a video about it, so it must be right.

Only about thirty seconds from cleared for takeoff until they hit the water with the PIC have taking over from the PF late in the piece. Not much time to make decisions, and plenty of blame to go around following the lengthy investigation. Being the captain, he was ultimately responsible for the safety of the aircraft when it took off so he got most of the blame for what happened while he was in charge, which I suppose is what you might expect. Luckily nobody was seriously injured .

Agreed, but the ones who most need to read it are tuned in to Fox news and Qanon.

Morrison could have just renegotiated the deal and bought the French nuclear sub instead of trying to redesign it to diesel electric at great expense. We would have had a decent nuclear sub relatively quickly and everybody would probably have been happy except the US. What a debacle.

Have to hope Dutton doesn't see it as a good way to get rid of the clapped out ones.

When our daughter was young she used to pull the shower head down until it was just above her head. When I asked her why, she said, "because it uses less water".

I've often driven past it and never realised what it was, although wondered what it was supposed to be. Just looks like a wonky U unless you're at the right spot.
