The more Russian infighting, the better.

Like Lord Farquad out of Shrek? Still can't believe they got away with that character name.

Heard a reporter interviewing Albo this morning, who's in England for the coronation. Asked him why he was going to give the oath of allegiance, given he's not a monarchist. Albo quite sensibly said that his private thoughts aside, he didn't think he as Australia's PM should cause controversy by refusing to speak the oath. However the reporter brought up a good point - the oath is not just allegiance to Charlie; it's also to his successors and descendants - and "successors" includes Andrew!!

Kind of agree but kind of see the point of it too. Space travel has led to a multitude of inventions that are used in lots of other fields. It seems likely that scientific knowledge will be added to substantially if several people commit slow suicide on Mars. Plus humans are explorers, and like it or not, colonizers. At some point it may become financially viable to settle Mars (even some terraforming, city domes etc). But I definitely agree that the Earth should be looked after first. I mean, look at the good we could do if we got that 378 billion for theoretical submarines, and the 243 billion for rich people to get tax cuts and put the resulting 621 BILLION dollars into transforming the energy grid to renewables, putting in charging and subsidies for electric cars, increase productivity by providing proper levels of government housing for the poor. Possibly even go back to free university education and pay early childhood educators properly, and fund more of them. Wow, just shuffling around the existing dollars could make life on Earth so much better...

Right. So it's not an aftermarket item, the body of the car was manufactured that way. I'd tell the cops that I respectfully refuse the ticket because I've done nothing wrong, and see them in court. If they want to charge someone then they can charge Isuzu for not meeting the compliance rules.

Ewww.

Well, being royalty, they can probably afford big beds. What's that old saying, two's company but three is a lot more fun?

From Europe.

When you say the dickie seats were "put in by the manufacturer", what do you mean? Did the car roll off the assembly line with them or were they an aftermarket addition?

There must be an exemption for tip shops, they sell all sorts of untagged electrical items with an "as is where is" caveat.

Is that when someone says "Oh, go stick it in your ear"?

I'd like to see that one in court. Can't see how the owner of a factory built vehicle can be held in any way responsible for the manufacturer failing to comply with relevant legislation.

Yep, look at him, in the pocket of developers.

Yep, that gets a mention, along with $100 roasts, "ditch the witch", 3 word slogans, budgie smugglers, raw onions, knighthoods, choppergate, Joe Hockey, etc... there's so much I had a hard time keeping it down to 4 verses.

Yes - I don't think that moisture is coming from the roof. That steep pitch would get rid of water real quick, unless it was full of holes there's nowhere for the water to sit and seep.

Do the cops count the number of seats over there?

I've just written a song about Tony for a local comedy night this Saturday. If it gets a laugh I'll post it.

Alternative answer, because anyone under 30 can see they're full of shit and is voting Green instead. Lower the voting age to 16, I say - it's their world to inherit, they should have a say in who stuffs it up.

I think his grandmother hit 103 didn't she?

But to be fair Nev, you'd have to divide by the number of pax / amount of cargo.

Don't think so - he ran an automotive parts business here for years, "Tilley Auto Parts".

No, very experienced (Hey, this is my dream) Hooray! Well there's a motivation a lot less wrinkles when the girls... No, that's too rude did I forget to mention they were all philosophy PhD's?

Greeks loved philosophy too so I'd be surprised if this theory hadn't been kicked around by them. But my problem with it is, if reality is just a dream, why am I talking shit with you lot instead of relaxing in a hot tub with a bevy of supermodels?
