  1. Give it a week.
  2. Especially if you're tyred.

    Maybe the Dublin city council should modify Molly's cleavage to do the same. They'd make a fortune!
  4. Most governments are better than Trump's. He's put the US on a downward slope and eventually even the sycophantic idiots who love him are going to realise it. @old man emu you're right there - who profits? From every action Trump takes you can see his aim is to take away money from those who need it most and give it to those who need it least. Your average hillbilly Trumpist isn't out there working the share market.

    Keep him away from the girls or you may find yourself a great-great-grandfather. The breeding gene is obviously strong in your line.
  6. Widespread battery takeup would reduce load on the grid, so there wouldn't be the need for expensive peak gas generation, reducing power bills for people without battery too. ABC had an article about it.

    Can't decide if you want a horse or a motorbike? https://youtu.be/vQDhzbTz-9k
  8. ...like Caligula and King George the 3rd
  9. I hope you mean a metre. Can't imagine any shark large enough to take a human beaching themselves in 305mm of water.
  10. How about Trump pay for the effects on the world's economies? To mangle Winston Churchill's quote... "Never in the history of mankind has so much been owed, to so many, by one dickhead".
  11. Just like Germany, 1936. The parallels are getting more and more obvious.
  12. Labor are now saying they'll subsidize 30% of a home battery, that will probably tip the scales for us.
  13. It's great... if he doesn't mind cold water. Even at the peak of summer water temperature is only around 17 degrees.
  14. Went for a snorkel off Coningham this morning (bloody freezing - 8 degrees on land and felt like not much more in the water) - and my wife got to try out our new waterproof camera. Despite the cold - hanging out with all the little fish was amazing. Schools and schools of them. Plus the occasional big wrasse.
  15. Collingwood supporters maybe?
  16. Good spot for them. Low to the ground, prevents buildings with possible human casualties being put on the approaches to the runways.

    Usually they just make you urn, until you're in your coffin...
  18. I think they've named that "shrinkflation".

    My Dad worked for a coffin manufacturer in Brisbane about 40 years ago. Managed to nail himself to a piece of timber once. Should have called him Jesus.
  20. Sky News are almost as stupid as Trump. Our GST is not equivalent to any sort of tariff as it doesn't differentiate where the product is coming from. An Australian product attracts GST too so there is absolutely no protectionism there.
  21. It wasn't a failed nation before, but it's going that way fast.

    You should have said "I'm not coffin up that much!"
  23. If it were truly Country, it'd be "Poultry in Motion"...
  24. So Dickhead has made noises about banning Australian beef because we won't buy theirs. Why won't we buy theirs? Because they had mad cow disease a couple of years back, so it's a biosecurity risk. (Now they have a mad steer running their country). What will be the consequence? Well, the US hasn't got enough beef because of the ongoing shortages internally. So we'll sell to other countries at the same price we would have sold it to the yanks, and they will put a mark-up on it and sell it on to the US. Meanwhile, that third country is subject to larger tariffs than Australia, say 20% instead of 10%, so Trump's burger, still made with Australian beef, costs him about 40% more than it would have if they just kept buying from Australia, and nobody else loses out. Own goal!
