  1. But what is normal speech nowadays. I even pronounce words , that don't sound right with correct spelling . An a in " nowdays " ( now days / now day's ) . spacesailor
  2. Not quite right . Conscripted Australians were forced to fight in Vietnam. Andrew Peakock, ( minister of the army) announced later , ( the following week ) . " no National Service men , would be required to go to,Vietnam, " those already there would be brought home if they wanted to " . spacesailor
  3. Yes , my relo, who served in the army is now homeless. I don't think I/we will hear anything From him . And don't know how to get in touch. My own younger brother, has disappeared off the face of the world . Ex navy . So I do sympathise with the ex servicemen in Australia. spacesailor
  4. I prefer " Tassie salmon " to Vietnamese. Does anyone dispute this ! . Not the cheapest, but good . spacesailor
  5. Ooops ! . No windows key . On This Samsung Galaxy ' screen keyboard ' . spacesailor PS. : what is ' echap ' ( top left key )
  6. Disarmament of Israel was tried ! . So they made their own , and better, than most other arms of the time . spacesailor
  7. Just have a look at Hong Kong, Mass's of ' high-rise' apartments. Great for the young starting their working life. Paid for by their ' superannuation ' scheme. Not the government at large . spacesailor
  8. 1.25 $ million in my street . Everything is so much more in the cities . And then to tear them down , to build " mini-mansians " on the larger old style blocks . The council puts their land-rate at the $million mark, just to get more income for themselves. spacesailor
  9. Most NSW tenants are paying " market rate " rent , with lots of check ups, & threatening letters . Pushing them into the private housing market . No long term contracts for the working class , like the ACT . spacesailor
  10. It was , treasurer Keating who coined that phrase. And the banks had so many houses ( they foreclosed on. ) , they had to ration them out to stop Ruining the housing market . spacesailor
  11. I have always blamed , that " recession we had to have " , onto Paul Keating. The " banks " made multiple millions off the defaulted house owners . Husband & wife working two jobs couldn't keep ahead of bank 18.63% interest in Oct 1981 spacesailor
  12. Most modern houses ( in Australia ) are built without chimney & fireplaces . Which means they ' catch-fire ' easily , as shown news so often . Cold night , just burn some sticks, next to the plastic-foam three-piece suit. spacesailor
  13. Use " Bluetooth headphones " just cheapies as you are close to the TV . ( presumed modern TV ) . spacesailor
  14. The reason for an 'unchristian ' burial. Is they were not baptised as Christians. The first white woman , born in NSW , IS Not buried in a Christian grave , as she was born out of Wedlock to her mothers employer , and is buried on a private property in " Rousehill NSW ". " unmarked " . Not even a cross or headstone . Lumby for acres bought the place, only to find a ' caveat ' preventing, building within sight of the ' heritage listed house ' . spacesailor
  15. 22°C here , as balmy as it gets . Had our morning walk , but the wind was cold in the shade . No reptiles out today . All snug up in bed . Lo? spacesailor
  16. Perhaps ' something fishi ' , to do with " samon farming " . it is big business. spacesailor
  17. I've been getting that treatment for many years , but , today , there was not a lot of helpers , So we ( pleural ) just walked past that Looong line , to the front, then a helper came & pointed to the scrutineer awaiting clients. Also no chairs awaiting the senior citizens. So had to use the bus-stop seating when going home for a ' rest-stop ' . when home had have a good ' sit down ' & a cup of tea , before awakening the urge to do something . spacesailor
  18. That the " good bit " .look how many offspring's are here ' because ' . I often wonder how many of the " one hundred terminal children '' survived, ( 1 female died ,but recovered 'documented ' ) . It is possible the test's were done ' secretly ' , but hopefully there is records somewhere. " there's she & me ". I do hope we are Not the only two . spacesailor
  19. I was not told , it gets cold in Sydney NSW. Only to get used to the stifling heat of summer. spacesailor
  20. This one is " Misandry " . from the female teacher . spacesailor
  21. " Climate change ". It's getting blooody cold . Which one first. The electric blanket, then into bed . Or stay up with a heater on ? . spacesailor
  22. Please. Don't keep saying " death is permanent " . As I , & others have' rejoined this ' Happy Human Tribe ' . Been there done that . Didn't like it . so . Here I am ' again ' . spacesailor
  23. The last I saw sold/sale was$49.999 in WA . With very little information provided, not even if current rego, it was' registe4ed for sale ' . Up to about $ 1500 now . spacesailor
  24. Parkes . Now Aboriginal country ! All the way to Tamworth. spacesailor
