  11. I have no problem that she has the right to her opinion, but the inference of her aborignal ancestery has no bearing ,the media beat up, and she has no grievance with the monarchy the Queen didnt do anything to her, and no i am not a monarchist ,she was a mother nanna and died ,lets give her respect

  13. A few years ago I was the workshop manager that fabricated wind turbine towers (only the tower) they cost millions each and the company still lost money on each project, the company that we manufactured them for ,as part of the contract they had a resident engineer from o/s paid for and accomdation by us,also the documentation process was over the top, we had more staff on that side than in the workshop, at any one time I had 20 to 25 tradespeople in the shop, but 30 peeps in the office non producing , the costs were going up all the time , I feel that value for money in building these wind farms will over time get higher they do not have a long service history, and the wind does not blow all the time , great ideas for clean power(forgetting the HUGE enviromental costs to build them) nuclear is the only way forward

  18. AS a ex squaddie in the brit forces i have used firearms as req of the type available at the time (early sixties) ,i believe that NO one other than trained personnel should have firearms, when i was a lad the local bobby was respected, he would give us young uns a clip on the ear and send us packing now it seems that the police are there to enforce more and more outlandish rules(covid as example), guns are made to KILL .in wartime yes soldiers and forces should have guns , but today do we need so many exotic types of guns that anyone seems to be able to get, there are more guns in Aus than when Howard had the national gun buy back, for me , the local beat police should not have a gun if he carries tazer,pepper spray, batton, on;ly specialized police with the right training should have access to guns , as you say we seem to be following the us , criminals will always get guns so yes the deterrent of being shot dead by armed police may work, as for DV more people should speak up about that, my rant over
  19. I am welsh by birth, lived there till i was 15, my son who loves all things welsh wants to learn welsh, i said its only good if you live in certain parts of Wales, useless outside of Wales
  20. In the Uk in the sixties i lived in a village called Gornal, in upper Gornal they spoke a different dialect, only 5 miles away and lower Gornal was the same
  21. My heritage can be traced to the 13th century french,irish, english,welsh, what a 57 varieties are our family, but do the younger gen rally care, my son(of my second marriage ) is really into his Welsh background ,but my daughter (they are twins) has no interest, my son of previous marriage has no ties whatsoever he was born in Aus, go figure.
  22. But dont call him"shirley" LOL
  23. Many years ago in Brisbane my wife was riding her bike along designated bike path ,said path had ruts big enough to trap a wheel and she came off smashing and breaking bones in 2 fingers (at the time was a word processor operator ) so needed finger to type , informed council and put in a claim for 2 weeks pay, they denied liability , she went to her boss (she worked for one of the biggest solicitors/lawyers in Brisbane , took action against council still denied liability, FOi found that council engineers 18 months prior warned about possible accidents on said bikeway, arrived on footsteps on court day promptly offered a settlement her brief said no and wnt to court, we paid our morgage off with the settlement,and no fees were paid to her solicitors, fringe benifits ,the could have paid about 1000$ but were greedy, ended up getting 60k, moral of story go for the jugular
