  1. Workshop space is Limited for most repair places. I'd get Bikes coming in from makers who didn't have spares readily available.(Suzuki). The gov't made Laws to require them to have More. I wouldn't accept the Bike at one stage till the Needed Parts were assured to be available and you don't always know WHAT you will need till you have it apart.. eg what size O/S piston you will need.. You don't want stuff sitting around dismantled in your workshop.. It's in everybody's interests to have it out as quickly as Possible. Nev
  2. The Bulk of the tax evasion is done legally by the RICH. Kerry Packer said it was OPTIONAL. GST gets it from people who may already be on an Aged Pension or disability. and NOT living very high on the Hog. With an ABN you don't Pay it. It's the TAX rich People Love. LOOK who introduced it and WANT to Increase it. Look where it is in the UK?. A dead hand on everything and heaps of Paperwork for everybody. Nev
  3. Add (as we speak). I LOVE a CHANGE for the Better and Modern Cars are much better, than the dangerous and expensive rubbish we drove, made just pre and post WW2. I'm not a subscriber to the "They don't make them like they used to" Lament. . I'm GLAD they don't. Nev
  4. In the Name of Religion, Many EVIL acts are committed. Nev
  5. There's a Saying for everything.. . Nev
  6. " CRUEL" Nev
  7. Yeah. I reckon you have been SPRUNG. Nev
  8. We are Antipodean so watch out IF you are a Podean. If you want to come here we have Lotts of deterrents Sharks of Many Kinds, Crocs, Spiders (funnel webs and red backs0, Snakes (ASPS) Tigers Taipans and others. Scorpions Portuguese man O war's Blue ringed Octopus's Platypus with Poisonous spurs Killer ants, Dingos, Feral dogs and cats. ferocious Wild Pigs. Stinking hot weather in the Kimberlys Kangaroos that will drown you or tear your guts out.. You'd have to think twice before trying it There's a lot of desert. Australia is one of the driest Countries there is. Anyhow, That's a Mercator chart which is not conformal OR orthomorphic so that cat would look funny on a globe. . Nev
  9. How come she recognised you in the dark? Pete. Nev
  10. Maybe He wanted an Apostrophe but got a catastrophe? Nev
  11. USA worships the God of MONEY. A place where threats and Money get what you want. They Even invented a suitable Religion. to Justify Unfettered GREED.. Nev
  12. That one is in Invisible ink Like a lot of Mine Must Be. Nev
  13. It's the SUMMER of your Discontent.. Nev
  14. Where is NEST door? Nev
  15. I've recorded the Highest Baro pressures ever on my own barometer, lately. It's helpful in predicting the weather. Nev
  16. They were very active in the Esperance area. Nev
  17. I stint in the Bush can be a wild ride when you unwillingly Infringe unwritten code and buy something some red Necked Local Yokel has had his eye on hoping Old Harry will die and he can get it Cheap. Blood is thicker than water. The Village idiot is the Local fix all. You are a Blow in forever. Only in a city can you maintain your privacy and circulate at Places WHERE you CHOOSE who you want to Meet from the Vast Number of Offerings you can easily access and Join. Jazz, Special interest associations etc.Nev
  18. I don't see Marital rape law and Muscle cars as useful /relevant determinants. More women in Australia are killed by People known to them than has ever been the case. Some of this is Custody disputes and economic stress and lack of safe accommodation alternatives. Muscle cars are pretty Invisible where I drive . Modded cars are given a Hard time by the Police. Loving to extremes of some Weird evil handling gas guzzler has never been at the top of the crime statistics. Fast E bikes and Juvenile Car thefts are the Issue. There are essentially NO cheap Houses in the Capital cities. You are Paying for Position and access there. A lot of Properties are Overcapitalised and many are empty on Purpose, by owner choice. Churches etc still get Tax exempt status. No one is building cheap accommodation. The Value of the Land dictates that. Nev
  19. Pretty Audacious!! I wouldn't have had the Gaulle to suggest that. English is a very Expressive Language. You probably need 2 lifetimes to Learn it. Luckily for US, It's got a widespread use, but there's a very Large number of people who don't speak it. Nev
  20. With Trump, It's winner take all and being honest only gets in the way of success. He's a Greedy Grifter. I hope he gets what he deserves. He certainly occupies the Lie-on's share of the News. . Nev
  21. A lot of those Places were established because they were difficult to ESCAPE from. New Zealand was also threatened by Russians. The distance of Australia from the USA and Europe ads cost and risk to everything, and there was no communication other than by Letters. These trips were almost like going to the Moon. Nev
  22. Stews (And Soups) are easier to keep available and you can chuck almost anything in it and get away with it. Nev
  23. Yeah but they didn't HAVE to stay. Later they May have "Jumped ship" to do so. Many of them were "recruited" from Pubs when they were drunk. Nev
  24. Stil covered in frost outside here which is not far from there. Beautiful clear day other wise. My Barometer is 1041 Mbs. Highest I can recall. Nev
