The greatest modern age general is without doubt Sir John Monash, a plucky aussie. He stopped the bullshite of trench warfare and rolled the Germans in quick time. He used all the tech of the time as a combined war machine and quickly routed the hun. He used artillery bombardment, troops, tanks, aircraft and soldiers as a coordinated force. No more of this slaughter of millions to get a few feet. Monash was a engineer and used all his intellect to form battle strategy's that awestruck the enemy. He was determined to not have his men as mere fodder for machine guns. His battle genius probably saved millions of lives on both sides and quickly ended war war one. Generals don't get any better than that.

His mother kept warning him- be careful where you stick that disgusting little thing. His father said beware of your aim or you could be in a world of shit.

Yes, I recently did the loom on a Yamaha TDM 850, i used a very small flat head and removed all the wires from the connectors, bundled them and threaded through new tubing. Then I reattached the connectors. It can be done, and clean all the wire plugs at the same time, any crap wire- I replaced. It was a 25 year old loom and electrics, it became like new and the cloth cover shrink looked great. Cleaned up all the switch gear, starter etc and added LED driving light bar at same time. Damn night became day with 40w of LED.

Ian are you sure? I was sure that Heinz baby food was a genuine product. You mean there are no babies in baby fooD? I have been ripped off......................false advertising

That was my first legal road bike- ran to school on it. Lots of fun, bugger all speed but fine in traffic. The brake was a disaster in the wet- stainless steel.

Bring Both and we call ambulance for you.

And when presented with comments like that - it is hard to believe you thought much before commenting. But what you believe is only that a belief- just like the sky fairies. When we white fellas invaded- we systematically sought to destroy a race of people. Possibly the greatest genocide in history- it is estimated we killed 90% of the aborigines on the mainland and every single one on Tasmania. It was government policy. They had overwhelming force and the technology of guns and cannon. They also used fire and worst of all deliberately introduced diseases such as small pox infected blankets. This was not by mistake or bad luck but by design and no less evil than a gas chamber in WW2. The plants they farmed were naturally natives species and seed traded with northern neighbours. They traded goods all over the continent, had hundreds of different nation groups with distinct languages, had very advanced navigation skills and navigated coastal waters. Some groups were even fish farmers. The notion they were just hunters and gathers is very far from the truth. But it is easy to dismiss the other as less worthy and subhuman, when we call them just a savage.

Pretty much YES. They had to develop the design to get the results they wanted. They would have used some type of trial, error redesign etc to get the required design sought. It is called scientific method- just because we don't have any old texts describing how they did it- they still did. And many thousands of years ago. And not all boomerangs have the same purpose and hence a different design. Or do you subscribe to the "aliens gave them the design"? or maybe a GOD? You do not get aerodynamic shaped flying sticks in nature- it is a construct of the mind and development.

And best of all Aborigines invented aeronautics- thousands of years before anybody tried strapping a set of wings on and falling to their death. What? The Boomerang is a sophisticated device that flies and comes back or can be used as the first flying weapon. That demonstrates a extremely advanced knowledge of science in practice. They did not just happen to find a special stick from the gods. The knowledge lost when we almost exterminated them on colonisation (invasion) is staggering. Us white fellas truly are savages at times.

Dutch, Very well stated. And that is why certain politicians who are also religious, exemplify your statement. There is no level they will not sink to, no expense or pain suffered to others, no manufactured fear they will not do. All in a effort to maintain power. Religion is a stupid answer to a stupid question.

Not fun enough eh? Want some speed? Not really flying without a prop? Your hostess will be giving out vomit bags.

just for some more kicks, You guys like flying right? But want to fly from home? Love a bit of G? Colin makes a solution.

Those damn louts on mobility scooters, like bloody hells angels they are. Dangerous punks should be kept off the road.

Until you take off the wrapping................and see the acreage of cellulite

Yes terrible filth, I can imagine many many many hours punishing her for such depravity- Starting with a feather and a silk lined dungeon. Damn you Phil - soldiers be damned, I am standing straight up to attention.

There are actually quite a few some small some big dollar ones with big backing. here are some Akon Lighting Africa | Solar power initiative Home - SolarAid Home | SunnyMoney - Life is Getting Brighter And there are others- I thought one was Australian but just has some Aussies involved- but the point is the same. All good stuff

Beautiful Vistas there Mark. Pity not much private flying to enjoy them.

I was referring to the "no better than sweeping it under the carpet"- it is not dust or a chip wrapper- it appeared you were referring legally to the act of the pastor not the actions of those who became aware. All parties who become aware are also acting illegally as accessories after the fact.

No it is far worse than that- it is a criminal act to know and not report it immediately. That allows the pastor to continue to take victims and condones his crimes and facilitates further crimes against children.

There is a charity run by some Australians in Africa that provides solar powered lights to provide light at night in homes. This means the children can study and improve their education and opportunities in life. The biggest side effect is a huge reduction in serious burns and deaths from kerosene lanterns that when knocked over start fires that maim and often kill. It also means that precious money is spent on food and schooling instead of paying for kerosene. A really simple and cheap solution that can make a massive difference

The turn of last century meant when we went from the 19th to the 20th century- ie 1900. Theses law volumes detail all english law and its precedence up to that point- all the way back to before Henry the Viii and do include sections on the colonies and such early ideas as the Magna Carta.

I do not think it is only suspension they are backwards in but specs, engineering and over the top pricing. A case in point is the Prado vs ML series Mercedes the Merc is much better finished, comes with much higher specs and is a lot cheaper. The Prado is left for dead in towing braked weight of 3000kg merc vs only 2500 kg Prado. The Prado is running a old school noisy and fuel hungry motor with much less torque and power. Meanwhile the Merc is a absolute pleasure to drive and tow, quiet and gets a genuine excellent 6lt/100km at 120km/h on a trip. It is a easy one to two generations older in tech and abilities but they have the hide to charge more for it. Maybe Aussies are religious about their SUV and reality has nothing to do with their choices? I do know about the above example as my brother has the ML and absolutely loves it- he tows a big boat on weekends. His mates have Prados and regret it. Especially when services come around or the injectors need doing- that costs a arm and two legs. It just makes no sense. Toyota (toymota) are the modern GM- all marketing over substance and gullible Aussies believe them. Some will say -but the Prado has tougher suspension and wheels- yes but 98 % of owners will never get to use the difference and all the rest of the time the Merc or BMW etc will handle like a car and be far safer and in the bad event of a crash- you might live to walk away.

And don't forget this weeks winge about welfare costs yet again. They always quote the overall $170 billion but go after the unemployed which is only 12% of that and mugs think they are all just bludgers. But we know who the real bludgers are ........

Yes Nev, I think they had a special plan ....such Cunning stunts.

The greens are not completey anti Natural Gas- they know it has its place and is much better than coal. But they are anti CSG as are farmers because of the massive risks for short term gain of a resource we already have in spades. I could have quoted lots of sources- the Australia Institute is a credible source that goes to great lengths to attribute its information. I do not have a problem with farmers getting the rebate- they feed us.
