  1. The older you are, the harder the falls feel. Prevention is better than repair. Nev
  2. Industrial Deafness is normally loss of HIGH frequencies above 5000 hertz.. It's the inner ear and the only way to get infected there is by the eustacean tubes and your nose. Your skin will get infected (germs) if you scratch the rash. You have a virus. Nev
  3. I had cars with crankhandles and cable brakes. A had a chance to buy an AMILCAR in good nick for about 20 quid. The "I feel really OLD" struck me when I was 45 and had lunch in a pub in Perth and looked around me at the others who were there. ALso when I found an XE Falcon hard to park because it didn't have power steering. You're old when the Cops all look like Pimply Kids. Nev
  4. Yeah these days you can be sacked by a texted message. A phone is more personal A face to face is even better. Nev

    I get it in the things I'm still tackling often on behalf of other people. (gratis 0f course). Nev
  6. Lots of people died at similar ages then. Nev

    I'm saving my brain for things that are more life threatening. Nev
  8. Just "Theory" and No practical doesn't work well. Apprentices are paid as it they are 16 years old. Mature age apprentices are financially strapped but a lot more use than young blokes who just want "stuff around" In class and whinge that they can't afford a NEW car/UTE. Nev

    My brain is SO teased it's sulking. Nev
  10. No I'd rule that out. Couldn't be that localised and colour. . Nev
  11. I heard it was about 1 grand for a ticket. That gives you a clue about where they come from. Your average battler can't possibly afford that. Medvedev has skin blemishes on his nose and left cheek.. Nev
  12. The tennis crowd has done some unpleasant things a few times. Only the English Soccer fans make them look OK. Having the PM do the presentation was a significant honour I would expect. Sky and Merdey are playing it up for all it's worth. Late night watching it. I don't think Medvedev was in the best physical condition. They both hit some great shots and returns and both plenty of unforced errors. Sinner is only 22 years old. He deserves better behaved supporters. Nev
  13. Driving these vehicles in salt water won't help them last. Just about every advertisement shows them doing it.. I worked on army ducks based on the GMC 6x6's in the 50's and undoing every nut and bolt was a challenge and keeping the brakes working a full time job. Nev
  14. The Person you mention is a DEMOCRAT and Trump has no time for any of them (even though in a previous life HE supported them). He's only USING the GOP anyhow, for his OWN purposes. He won't be taking advice from any of them and refusing to do what he wants is a life threatening experience. Nev
  15. Large tyre contact area for low pressure more grip and less soil compaction. You also need a fair bit of suspension travel for uneven areas at row ends etc or just only the front wheels if it has no suspension as tractors do.. Nev
  16. That was the case with the group of teachers I went through with. Four night s a week . Results way above the full time students on average. More motivated to not just "fool around". Most of us were a bit older. Nev
  17. Nah. , According to a very high Authority on all matters T a Bot ,TAFE only teaches people how to Basket Weave and SCIENCE is JUST another BELIEF and all the auto workers he made jobless are now free to get DECENT jobs. Lots of rich kids just went to UNIVERSITY for the Social aspects on Campus and also to delay working and making a decision about it as long as possible. B4 you blow a gasket Red. the first bit is TRUE . The last bit is a personal observation and MAY not apply to All students.. Nev
  18. Many farms are irrigated and have uneven surfaces so you need 4 wd and a fair bit of ground clearance and you have to consider soil compaction effects with choice of tyres. You also often tow a flat trailer to put work tools or produce on.. Nev

    Thanks but in general READING posts more carefully and asking a question would obviate all this. I can't recall refusing to respond to any sensible question. Many just look for a "Gotcha" word and fire away as if it's all some kind of GAME or contest. ( Lile pPrune). . Nev

    Israel

    It may also be in other versions. I don't know. Nev
  21. Enough to go 200,000 Kms . 3 years for some tradie vehicles and a lot of costs on servicing saved. THAT and also the Hydrocarbon fuels are only going to get more expensive and electricity cheaper.. Nev
  22. A jumper like thing that keeps the teapot hot. Nev
  23. The "Sahara" wouldn't be far short of it. Nev

    Israel

    The context of that quote is "HE who is without SIN, (can) CAST the first stone" I think from the new Testament part of the Christian Bible. Nev
