  1. If someone has permanent residency, they're an Aussie. Simple as that. If you want to say that someone's not Australian because they don't like the laws, or the government, then you can probably include most true-blue bogans from <insert dodgy postcode> in that lot. Splitting by country of birth is just nit-picking.
  2. Where did you read it?
  3. I think it was the melons, not the sangers

    Sting, that should have said.

  6. Don't expect the Murdoch press to get any better under the heir apparent either. Apparently Rupie is in court somewhere out the back of nowhere (to avoid journalists) trying to get the family trust removed so he can rewrite it with all power to make decisions about the news empire going to Lachie. This is because the other kids are a bit more progressive (ie "normal") than Lachie who's a chip off the ol' block, so if Rupie wants his "news" empire to continue with a decided lean to the right, he has to remove their voting rights, otherwise the news could become (gasp!) balanced.

    Quickies part 2

    Oh ok. My attempt at a humorous debunking backfired. I can't remember which of the cars I had, but one of them I had to replace the speedo wire and I'm sure the worm gear was on one of the front hubs somewhere.

    I make it 3 Sam <> Deb Rob <> Paul then Paul <> Michelle
  9. Yet more Rammstein... a humorous look at the German colonisation of Africa...

    I'm just being a bastard Peter! Pay no attention.

    But... The speedo is from a worm drive on the front wheel, isn't it? And that joke's so old it'd have to be a rear wheel drive. So the speedo couldn't show anything if they were spinning the wheels in mud.
  12. She'll pick a white man (probably straight) as her VP. There's an ex astronaut in the mix, could be him.
  13. Someone told the AI - make a pic of obese guys in cyclist gear.
  14. You shouldn't yoke about such things. I guess no-one told the AI that humans only have one.
  15. Generally speaking, that Captain's pick is a Major escalation. Corporal punishment. The rank would file a protest.

  17. Town near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. We had a lovely winter holiday in Uffing, close to there. Before we left, one of my workmates looked up our destination and saw that town nearby. No matter how much I protested that I wasn't going to Wank on my holiday, they didn't believe me.
  18. Latest I've heard on motive is that the shooter possibly just wanted to make as big a spectacle as possible. He'd been researching school shooters, was bullied all through school, etc - the classic profile of a mass shooter. Killing Trump would have caused the biggest news in the world, so that was possibly his goal.
  19. I think a lot of the words we think of as swearwords now - including the C bomb - were in fairly common use pre-Victorian times.

    Given it's impossible to throw the other two..
  21. I thought it was better to have no egrets in life.
  22. Back to another high quality production by Rammstein.. .
  23. Jeez, what a tasteless mob! I'll argue for flavour. Piquancy, tanginess, the touch of spice to titillate the taste buds. If I have poached eggs I'll put salt, pepper, oregano and some chilli flakes on them. Even grilled cheese gets a sprinkle of chilli powder before going under the grill. One of our favorite family recipes is chicken shawarma, by Recipe Tin Eats. The flavour is superb.

    All I'm getting out of that is "Rock Sheep", because I don't know what the first pics are.
  25. Watch the tin-foil hat brigade leap on that as proof that the secret service are part of the "deep state" and wanted the assassination to succeed.
