Another option is that he's away from home somewhere and doesn't have his computer. He might be like me in that I can't log in or access this site on the mobile phone. It's the laptop or nothing. I can use the phone as a mobile hotspot to access via the laptop, but can't do it solely with the phone.

His last post on the other forum was April 14th.. I think he is normally fairly regular there as well.

I wonder what the technology is like these days for removing tattoos if they decide later they don't want them or some of them. There's a growing trend these days among young women to get small, perceivably (in their eyes) cute tattoos. The ones I'm referring to are not full inked, just fine outlines. Things like their grandmother's initials, a small cowboy boot, little stars and dots on the back of their hands and stuff like that. It's less disfiguring but some girls don't know when to stop so it can get to the point of looking like graffiti. You would think those small, fine outline scribblings would be reversible to an extent. Quite often the process of getting more and more tattoos is linked to the influence of peers and becomes a joint fashion thing. A person in a relationship with someone into tattoos can start going down the same path if their partner and a lot of their friends are getting them. I don't know how factual it is, but some say our Celtic ancestors had a lot of tattoos.

Admin would have an email contact probably. It's concerning. He's a regular on here and is usually only not heard from for a couple of days at most. It was two weeks yesterday since he's been on here, very much out of character. He was flying to Melbourne on the 7th of May I think to pick up a truck, but even if he'd brought that forward, he probably would have contacted before leaving.

I looked them up and they are very affordable. It looks like they screw flat against the wall. https://www.sparkydirect.com.au/p/Clipsal-RCBE220/30S-20AMP-RCBO-1P-N-4.5kA-Resi-MAX

I had the earth leakage unit at the meter box trip once. I was jackhammering a hole for a shed pole with the electric jackhammer and didn't notice it was rubbing the power cord between the jackhammer and the side of the wall. I was soaking wet from sweat and got a small boot similar to a 12v electric fence for a split second before the power tripped.

I didn't know Wally Lewis had it until I read about it recently. I knew he's had epilepsy for quite a few years. In the NRL, the head injury assessment process is getting stricter all the time. Not much gets past the Bunker. They can tell the Ref to send a player off for assessment if he misses the incident. I think the time will come when those soft helmets will be compulsory.

Another thing in NRL that has helped cut down on fights is the way the sport has grown financially. Clubs have the money to invest in good players, so players move around a lot between clubs. The end result is that a lot of opposing team members have previous history as members of the same team. You see it a lot at the end of a match. Players who look like mortal enemies during the game are patting each other on the back and doing the huggy thing at the walk off. A lot of opposing team members are good mates behind the scenes. State of Origin also acts as a blender of players. Once upon a time, you could play up after hours, get drunk in pubs and get into fights and still have an NRL career, but not now. Players are contracted with behaviour standards in their off duty life regulated as well. Break the rules and the club can break the contract and sack the player. Cleaning up the game is a consequence of more money coming into the sport. Big sponsors don't like the old ways. Sponsors = money = power over the clubs to regulate the players they contract. It's also in the club's interest as they are all trying to grow financially.

For anyone who hasn't watched an NRL match for a few years, it's a different game these days. Continual rule changes, the addition of the Bunker as authority and heavy camera coverage has cleaned it up a lot. The Biff is long gone; it's years since I've seen a punch thrown. An on-field blue these days consists of a couple of blokes or three grabbing each others jerseys and swearing, with a bunch of other blokes trying to calm them down. One punch these days could be career ending with long suspensions culminating in the end of a half million dollar player contract. As far as play goes, the occasional debatable thing escapes the Ref and Bunker cameras, but as a whole it's heavily scrutinised and regulated. Tackle rules have got to the point where it's getting increasingly hard for players to effect a legal tackle. The way we were taught to tackle at schools is banned now.

Crikey, this AFL sounds like a rough sport.

I saw something online that I thought was a good idea for anyone with a fluffy cat. A bloke recycles all the hair he combs from his cat and hangs it outside in a basket so birds can take it away to use in nest building. I remember when my old cow was still alive, the ravens used to pinch hair from her tail but the cat hair would be a lot easier.

The Mythical Royal Australian Army made an appearance at the Anzac Day march in Brisbane, via the ABC presenter covering the march. I guess the serving RAN commander sitting beside him thought it best not to pick him up on it on air.

I know who Pecker is, but I was wondering if that banner on the screen grab is legit or someone taking the p*ss.

I wonder whether this screen grab I saw posted somewhere is genuine or shopped.

It wouldn't be necessary if Marty's wish came true. That would get rid of Donald and Vladimir as well.
