  1. Some of this stuff is very Long term and hard to re run. The time is Not there. It's not fair make something illegal today that wasn't yesterday and retrospectively apply it. . Nev
  2. The LIES bit is being overblown and changed circumstances (Not of their Making) forced them to do something different. There are exemptions and grandfathering , so check the whole thing out. A LOT of unforeseen things Have Happened SINCE the election. They reacted and that's what should have happened IF they do the responsible thing in the CHANGED circumstances. We are getting through the Fuel situation Pretty well. (and Plenty of other things). Nev
  3. To grow wheat, you Need Moisture deep in the soil. Growers Pick the years they sow. You don't want rain Late in the cycle. ALL Farmers are gamblers. Nev
  4. A lot of FILL and obfuscation in that answer. Transparency is what is required. I suggest there's no more corruption in Politics than most other things like Banks, etc. Politicians are very Public figures. I wouldn't like to be One and Have to put up with all the BS, Slander and lack of any private Life. Their tenure is only till the next election. You could make more money other ways in a lot of cases. They are Not overpaid . Nev
  5. Who else would GET AWAY with such behaviour??? What a dreadful example HE sets. Nev
  6. wille IIF you quote it you Own it unless you state otherwise. Siso, We have Far from the worst government around. You have to read a lot of rubbish to believe otherwise and there's PLENTY of that ABOUT. It's easy to just rave on with little facts to back it up. The rest of the World thinks WE are doing alright in the circumstances. That doesn't just happen by Itself.. Nev
  7. What Bl@@dy saying? You can find a "saying" for anything these days. Wealth distribution Trends to favour less and Less of the People, who all want everything done by the government but to Pay no taxes. Where? The TOP few % get the Perks because they can reward in kind.. Packer "said Paying tax for the rich is Optional". Do you want it Like Trump wants America to be.?? I doubt it. Menzies brought in child Endowment. Was HE a raving Socials lefty? A decent Civilised society doesn't neglect it's needy. Everyone should have access to Health services and education, Sewerage Roads and drainage etc. The Basics at Least. Nev .
  8. " Trump will fix it" Remember?. A person who bears witness unto himself , cannot be trusted. How many Proven LIES now? Nev
  9. Angus is a dope. He stuffed up Big getting rid of LEY.. Nev
  10. Doesn't sound as if we are Missing MUCH. Nev.
  11. It would be difficult to hide the Contempt.. China Builds, while Trump destroys. Nev
  12. I reckon that IF i'd Posted that, there would be a big Pile on, but here is the "Kiss of death". I AGREE, completely. Nev

    Brain Teaser

    I was Probably Over thinking that one. Nev
  14. How would you Park the THING?
  15. Scrap Metal or an idea of how it was. Nothing more. Unfortunately some good condition things do go for scrap but they were all consumables of some kind anyhow. New stuff is not as suited for repair as much as it was but there's always been examples of items designed to be difficult to repair.. Even in the Teens some engines had a Max overbore of Half a Millimetre on the diameter of the cylinder. .020" Nev
  16. Oily rag restorations are Better. When you start making something RUN It' s hard to Know where to stop. I don't believe in working on Fossils. They are for Patterns only. IF it has to work Pay more for Better. Over restored is ruined, in my books. Don't Polish bits that were "as Cast". Something well restored Looks as if it wasn't restored in the Normal sense. The Original "Look" is always worth More at the end of the day. Plating things that weren't Plated. Plating often causes internal corrosion and makes things Brittle and the Plating on Nuts Peels when a spanner goes on it if it's crook Plating. It also ruins thread fits as the Plating goes on thicker at the ends and your parts Look like they came out of a Bathroom. Nev
  17. You can get FAKE rust and Mud if that Look is your thing. Metho and shellac works too without corroding anything. Just spray old oil on it and ride along a dusty road. Ride it on a salty Beach and it will turn into a useless static exhibit in no time. .Nev
  18. She only has Australia in Mind but follows Donald Trump? How does THAT work? Her Words are Just that. Empty words for Naive people silly enough to Believe them. Their Party seems attractive to Malcontents and drop outs Like Barnaby, who would have to be amongst the best examples of disloyal Opportunism about.. Her SHOW will Never have a true Purpose. Self Interest does not constitute a TEAM effort. Gina And Murdoch control that Mob. They are Just Puppets on strings and out of their Depth. Nev
  19. What's a proncess? Half way between a Pro and Princess? I haven't had a lot to do with Fairies. I like the MANLY Ferry. Nev
  20. I thought He was More of a "Pubic" relations Person? Whatever GRABS you I suppose. It's ALL an act, and ALL about HIM, and always will be, for ALL the World to see.. Nev
  21. You Only DIE once. Putin would like to take/destroy the World with him if He can't restore Russia to a major Power. America (under Trump) wants WAR more than China does and cares Less for the Planet. USA is the centre of the Universe with Trump, but it IS divided unto Itself by Trump. (on Purpose, because that is the way HE works). THAT will cause his Ultimate downfall. Nev
  22. Anyhow WE don't HAVE a 2 Party system. Why DO they call Taylor "Leader of the Opposition", has ME tossed, when they are actually facing extinction. Hanson is Portrayed as Future PM when she has ONLY ONE person in the Lower House, and a Gift wrapped Little "SEXY" Plane that at some stage will Probably Scare the $#!t out of her. (Like her walk on Uluru) where she slid down a ridge in her shorts like a Dog with Worms, because she was too scared to stand up. Doing a STUNT to Defy the Aborigines call to respect the Rock as a Sacred Place. Funniest thing I've ever seen, the Look of abject fear on Her Face. The Rock 10, Hanson Zero.. Nev
  23. Trump's Economics Make HIM richer and are Based on deals made when HE holds all the Cards. He knows FA about economics except to use it as a weapon AGAINST Competitors and Allys. His Obsession with Punitive TARIFS is a good example. .He's an Economics Dullard actually. Nev
  24. Yes there's funny things happening in a couple of Places . It's hard to Predict the Amount of rain. from the Information I have. 1 inch won't do much. Nev
  25. The Biggest HIGH That I've ever registered on my Barometer is over New Zealand right now. 1041 mbs. These days, forecasts 2 weeks away are stretching it. Air Mass analysis is what's needed. Lots of water can only come from tropical maritime air. You will never get much rain from way down south and the Polar regions are as dry as deserts.. Air masses are Modified by what they Pass over.
