It would be about the only balanced thing in his life.

You are starting to talk like him. Are you actually a very intelligent lefty who is playing a long ironic joke?

True, I worked with one who was 32.

I now have a mental image of little old ladies in police uniform.

You literally just described Trump.

Would I kill Trump? No. Would I in any way seek to achieve or encourage that goal? No. But would I be sad if he died from any cause including that? Only if there were other casualties. I don't "believe" in violent assassinations. Or even non violent ones. Let me ask you a question though. Knowing what you know now, would you be upset if someone managed to kill Hitler before Kristallnacht, Stalin in 1945, Bin Ladin before 2001?

It was obvious what a useless turd he was the first time around. Anyone who voted for him this time - or didn't bother voting - has no right to complain now.

The more this stuff comes out, the more I think "If only that bullet was 2 inches to the right".

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. It is a no brainer to remove small coins, in fact I'd argue that unless you can show commonly purchased items that cost less than 50 cents, that should be the minimum currency. In terms of shopping it wouldn't make a massive difference to stores if they discounted up to 49 cents in a transaction. It'd certainly stop them advertising stuff for "$19.99" because they want you to mentally assume something is under $20.

I think it's a stretch to indicate an 80 year cycle for something as complex as weather in Australia, where written records only go back a maximum of 3 cycles.

Are you serious, the Yanks don't have EFTPOS?

2 of our hens, with exquisite timing, have chosen to go broody on about a dozen eggs each. You're sitting on a fortune ladies!!

One pint does not a wobble make!

My son has an art class at the moment from 5pm - 6:15. It's in Salamanca Place, Hobart... Which is full of drinking establishments with outside seating... And it's 30 degrees. So I'm relaxing with a lovely pint of pale ale and watching the world go by. Life is good!

Lot of those about. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/275656132532?srsltid=AfmBOoqHDHc0nFD15n1e-fO0mETuvnhDZloW4qjF2wqX_DEn3P3u_W45

Well, you elect a convicted felon to the presidency, what the hell do you expect?

Being called "a very fine man" by dickhead is worrying. Puts him in the same crowd as Kim Jong Un, Putin and Victor Orban.

Don't get your knickers in a twist. They mention it simply to illustrate who the major parties are. If the Democrats were still around or the Green vote grew substantially I'm sure they'd change their FAQs.

Try losing it for 2 weeks and 2 days, like we did a month or so back. On school holidays. With 3 teenagers.

I think you're missing the point. Regardless of who owns the factories, they're employing Australians. If Trump puts tariffs on Australian goods then the price goes up in the US, which means it either gets passed to the consumer or they stop importing as much. In either case demand for Australian products goes down and that could lead to a loss of Australian jobs. That's why Albo will talk to him. Hopefully he understands that when dealing with vindictive bullies of limited intellect, crawling will not work, so he will be respectful but firm and clearly put Australia's case forward.

The Australian armed forces are a professional institution which don't want untrained conscripts. It's bullying countries like Russia, led by your mate Donny's puppet master, who do conscription these days.

Uk don't have vast quantities of sunlight and lots of room to collect it

That would be fun to hack... Set the White House toilets to flush 20 seconds after a vast weight is registered on the seat.

Because I'm a helpful sort I'll assist you @Grumpy Old Nasho... just give the most conservative people the highest numbers, and the most progressive ones the smallest numbers. Does that help?
