  1. That's a low bar.
  2. He is a cunning linguist.
  3. Roger Moore (sounds like a porn star name) was the least "action hero" type of any Bond. I think the best was the last, Daniel Craig. Some of the fight scenes, especially in the first of his, were excellent.
  4. Some anti fascist people are already working to identify and make public the identity of ICE officers, especially those proven to have used excessive force. It's exactly like the nazi brown shirts. You shouldn't expect to remain anonymous while following unlawful and inhumane orders.
  5. Can I suggest a way that satisfies both sides. The properties with architectural merit are sold at market value for redevelopment as housing, with conditions covering the retaining of appropriate features, and also that 10 or 20% of resulting flats are sold as affordable housing.

    He's not cheating. He's simply the best. (Which, replacing "He's" with "you're", is the next answer)
  7. Put a bit of sheepskin inside the ear flaps and you'll be toasty in winter! Re the ejection seat, might make the passenger nervous.
  8. You can't overtake if the unbroken line is on your side of the road too.
  9. We may have burned that bridge. I'd like us to learn the lessons from Ukraine and give up on manned subs altogether. Remotely operated seems far better in every respect.
  10. 1.6b would be worth it. Staying in will result in orders of magnitude more loss and still nothing to show for it. The USA is simply not a trustworthy military ally.
  11. There's plenty who whinge more than you Jerry, and not even in England.
  12. If the ABC said anything that could be construed by the rabid right as even slightly left of centre, regardless of how factual it is, they get hounded by the Murdoch press and face political pressure. There is no comparison with Sky. If you think that the ABC is reporting factually incorrect news, provide examples.
  13. One of the reasons I don't do Facebook. It's a steaming pile. If I want news I go to ABC and the Guardian.

  15. Isn't there already a gold statue of him?

  17. That seems like a cock-and-bulldog story to me...
  18. I've just got back to Australia after visiting Vietnam, sitting in Sydney airport waiting for the Hobart flight. They call it the American war over there. I don't know why we went, or what the Yanks thought they'd achieve. Every Vietnamese person I talked to (apart from the hucksters trying to sell you stuff) was polite, friendly and with a great sense of humour. An interesting fact is that they burn cardboard shaped into shoes, clothes etc for their dead ancestors. They even burn fake money so the spirits can buy stuff in the afterlife. Now this next bit shows how lovely these people are. The fake money they burn is obviously Vietnamese dong. They then started worrying about the American and European dead in their country, not recognising the currency and going without. So now they also burn fake US dollars and Euros as well, so the foreign spirits are looked after. (Probably the more entrepreneurial Vietnamese spirits also grab the foreign currency because of the exchange rate!) But just think - regardless of how nonsensical the whole thing may be, they are concerned about the welfare of the dead soldiers who invaded their country.
  19. Imagine the lack of genetic diversity if he's let loose on a captive population of Martian colonist women.
  20. Makes me laugh, there's a few scooters getting around here with 2 extra wheels at the back on spring loaded swingarms. So they're basically a 4 wheel scooter. Only ever seen tourists riding them, the locals must giggle when they overtake them.
  21. That's going to be a heavy bike, OT!
  22. I'm sure I've seen him in Star Wars. On the dark side of course.

    I get "coincidence" for 11. There's probably a German word of 50 in there.
  24. Well if you're ever looking for images of a hairless cat, don't go searching for "shaved pussy" or you might have a heart attack.
