Midsomer.

Gina Rinehart has suffered a legal blow, with a court ruling the family of her father's former business partner has the rights to royalties from her Hope Downs mine in WA's Pilbara. Justice Jennifer Smith found both Mrs Rinehart's company Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto were jointly liable for the royalties payments to Peter Wright's family's company, Wright Prospecting. But Justice Smith dismissed claims from Wright Prospecting and two of Mrs Rinehart's children that they owned part of Hancock Prospecting's share of the Hope Downs mine. Justice Jennifer Smith dismissed all claims, including by Mrs Rinehart's children and Mr Wright's descendants, to an ownership share in the Hope Downs iron ore mines and tenements, currently operated as a joint venture between Mrs Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto. Justice Smith found both Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto were jointly liable for the royalties payments to Mr Wright's family's company, Wright Prospecting. ABC News.

This one has been seen before, but worth a rerun.

I was going through some old images on a hard drive, and on today of all days, I came across this.

Vance should be known as Kiss of Death Vance. This week, JD Vance had two jobs: get an Iran deal and keep Hungary's Viktor Orban in power. Neither happened for the US vice president. Then there was his visit with Pope Francis, who died a few days later. And he's the default President if Chump carks it?

It's all Litespeed's fault. He mentioned Abbott on page one, and that was enough to send Nev into his usual rants. DO NOT mention anything other than Ukraine reports in this thread. If you must, start a new topic.

I didn't realise Kharg Island (red pin) was almost 850 km from the Strait of Hormuz.

And they pronounce potato cakes as fritters. Don't mention scallops, they're seafood.

Had some incredible luck today. In my previous post (last post previous page) I said that the appointment with the ENT specialist was on July 3. I decided to take the letter of referral and test results to his office this afternoon. The receptionist was serving another patient and said "Take a seat in the waiting room. I'll be with you in a minute and get some details." There was another patient in the waiting room. His door opened and she was called in. She was out again in 5 minutes. The receptionist came around and said "His next patient is not here yet, you can have a word with him now if you like." I went in and explained my situation. He checked my ears, looked at the test graphs and told me a few things to do before my scheduled appointment. Then the receptionist collected information like my pension number, medicare number etc., and said she would organise a pre-cochlear test. So effectively, moved things up 3 months. She said "Don't tell your GP. Nobody gets to see him on day 1."

Does that include Barron?

The Devil speaks.

OK. One of the most common silent letters is G when combined with N. Examples : GNAW, GNAT, GNOME. Crossword Clue Helper lists 121 GN,, words. But that's not the biggest list. Merriam-Webster Scrabble lists: Words That Start With KN: 233 Words | Scrabble® Word Finder Words that start with KN: knap, knar, knee, knew, knit, knob, knop, knot, know, knur, etc. Merriam-Webster Dictionary lists 387 words that start with KN Knife, kneel, kneeling. knack. knackers, knackery, knead, knowledge, to name a few.

This is probably BS, haven't heard it reported anywhere else, but thought you might be interested anbout what's on the net. https://nflinsight360.com/posts/anthony-albanese-has-jυst-set-the-iпterпet-oп-fire-aпd-washiпgtoп-is-shakiпg-suhao-suhao/

Former Australian broadcaster Allen Jones asked Deputy Labor Leader Tanya Plibersek the simplest possible question about the policy her party wants to restructure the entire economy around. “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦? 𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘥𝘦?” “𝘠𝘦𝘴”, Plibersek replied. “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩’𝘴 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘥𝘦?” “𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸”.

Winding path is correct.

Yes, I'll give you that, but E is the most common letter, and often used to change the pronunciation of the the word, as in ton/tone. But there are other letters which appear to have no purpose and could be omitted without changing the word. eg. P in Psychology.

Here is one a bit different. There are lots of words in the English language which have silent letters. The G in gnome, the P in psalm, etc. Have you any idea of the most common silent letter?

With all the explanation of how the puzzles work, I forgot that I hadn't loaded the next one.
