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”.

Not 4%. Not 0.4%. 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭. Of that 0.04%, human activity accounts for roughly 𝟑%. And of that 3%, Australia contributes about 𝟏.𝟑%. Jones put it in terms anyone could understand: “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦. 𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘶𝘱. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺”. And for that granule of sugar, Australia and every Western nation pursuing net zero is “𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭-𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺”. This is the core problem with climate policy globally. The people demanding trillions in economic restructuring 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 about the science they claim to follow. They don’t know the numbers. They don’t know the proportions. They just know the conclusion — and they’ll rearrange society to match it.

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.

Here's something really random. My son works from home 3 days a week and goes to the office on the other two. When he works in the office, he usually gets home between 7.15 and 7.30 pm. The dog starts barking at the door from 7.15, and yaps till Andrew walks through the door. Andrew is currently on 10 days holiday in Thailand with a couple of mates. The dog still barks at the door from 7.15 till we reprimand him.

He threatened to wipe out a civilisation. This is the guy who demanded the Nobel Peace Prize!
