  1. Sounds like they were, but Happy wasn't.
  2. I think that evidence is at odds with reality. Apparently the majority of victims don't tell anyone within a short time of the incident. I'm not a psychologist but have read that the reasons for this may include feelings of shame, self doubt, misplaced guilt (did I encourage this), fear, etc.
  3. The 7 dwarfs were in the bath feeling happy. So Happy got out.
  4. Quick scan of the lead stories in 2 news sites right now. ABC: Serious news about world affairs, the economy, court cases, scams, etc. News.com.au: gang rapist whinging about prison life, society fluff (Beckhams vs Meghan), Australians "frothing" over flattering summer dress, some other celebrity "wows in revealing see-through dress". (Just in case you weren't aware that see through was revealing.) And you want to defund the ABC.
  5. Absolute BS. The ABC is the only unbiased news service in the country. If you think the Merde Och press will give actual news, I've got a good bridge in Sydney that I'm willing to sell you.
  6. Well, Jacquie Lambie has admitted on radio that there's a lot of old growth in her patch.
  7. Sorry to be pedantic, but I believe it's "Bayerisch Motoren Werken" in the original or Bavarian Motor Works auf englisch.
  8. Gravity affecting all things with age, you may have to direct the feminine gaze lower.
  9. I'm with you OME. I just bought some plain t shirts from Just Jeans. Even there I had to look for them.
  10. I think Nancy's astrologist was actually the power behind the throne
  11. Hangar doors aren't big enough. Move the house to one side.
  12. No, he was the president in between the two worst presidents ever.
  13. 9 days now with no Internet. Bloody NBN. Their planning and execution of a fixed wireless tower upgrade is similar in effectiveness and timeliness to Putin's Ukraine expedition.
  14. You may have problems if you managed to swallow an avocado pip.
  15. It's not about penalizing kids, it's about forcing the tech companies to do their due diligence.
  16. Time to sell, move into luxury rental and have plenty of money for the rest of your life.
  17. Google says the Babylonians used 7 day weeks because they noted it took 7 days for each phase of the moon.
  18. A colleague in Adelaide was boasting of his cherry haul from a tree in his back yard. Subsequently he was late to a meeting due to overindulgence-related diarrhea.
  19. Whenever I see "Epshteyn" I think they're trying to say Jeffrey Epstein, but are too pissed.

    Brain Teaser

    Money spinner?
  21. There's nothing so dangerous as a male P plater. I told my son the other day - "You're getting more confident, which is great, but next year you will get overconfident. You have to be aware of this and remember that you're controlling a ton and a half of steel which can kill you and others." Your story reminds me of something that happened to me when I was 17. Driving back from a friend's place in the country after an evening of shooting. I was speeding on a dirt road when another car came around the corner. I spun the wheel towards the side of the road, remember going into a slide, his nose went past and I spun back the other way, my nose went in his lane just after his tail went past. Somehow I got out of the skid and kept driving. Blind luck is all it was, certainly not skill, but I'll never forget that incident and the thought that I wasn't immortal after all.
  22. My son is on his L's, in fact he drove to school today. I did have to tell him to slow down a couple of times because the Taroona road was wet and very twisty. The log requires you to enter road type, road conditions, traffic level, weather conditions etc. I'm not sure if they check these and require more lessons if 90% is highway driving in fine weather.
  23. Ok, I'll be kinder, replace "stupid" with your choice of "confused", "misled", "apathetic", "fooled", "uncaring" etc. The point is that when you look at his statements and "policies" with an objective lens, they will either not achieve the desired outcome or will actually achieve the opposite. Add to this the proven 30,000 lies he told in his first presidency, his felony conviction and all the other charges, his terrible behavior to women, his multiple bankruptcies, the close relationship he has with white supremacists and other nutjobs, his admiration for dictators, and his handling of the pandemic which resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. So to give him your vote means that either you know all that and still approve of him, which says something about your own character, or you don't know it, which means you're ignorant, or you don't believe it, which means you're a tin-foil hat wearer, or you accept it all but still think somehow he's better than Kamala, which leads back to stupid, or you're not interested in all of it but think he'll be better for your own bottom line, which makes you either apathetic, misled or uncaring. It appals me that over 70 million people fit those categories but I have a hard time thinking of any other explanation.
  24. Very clever.
  25. It's not that ranga who did a current affairs program... Can't remember his name?
