    It's not a song, it's a frequently repeated expression from a family comedy show.
  11. Participation has been down for a few weeks. Our shed had a BBQ day today, run by the group from the ladies day. Quite a turnout.
  12. Both on Sunrise this morning with video interviews with various people. No.2 was on the Ch 7 News last night. Apparently it is already law in WA and NT.
  13. Yesterday I had a calibration appointment for my Cochlear implant. It started with the audiologist connecting the device to her computer and playing a range of beeps at various frequencies, starting too low to hear, and increasing them until they were at a comfortable volume. She then read out a number of words from a printed list of about 30, with her face obscured, and I had to locate the word on the list and repeat it without being able to lip-read. Passed that without problem. Next, she placed a page of 12 half sentences in front of me. Again, obscuring her face, she read out the full sentence which I had to repeat back to her. The example I recall was: Printed: She cleaned the floor.... The spoken sentence: She cleaned the floor with a mop and broom. I passed all 12 sentences at the first attempt. She said she normally doesn't get to pulling that page out until the second month. I've had the device for 9 days. I can now hold conversations, watch the TV, and talk on the phone without the hearing aid in the other ear.
  14. Two items on the news I invite you to comment on. 1. Bob Katter's renewed call for north Queensland to break away at the Tropic of Capricorn and form a new state. 2. A call for people 16 and over to be permitted to purchase and carry pepper spray.

  19. I know it's a totally different animal, but my 22 year old Holden Astra, a rebadged German Opel, has the turn indicators on the left of the column, wiper/washers on the right. My daughter, for God knows what reason, has her heart set on a Ford Mach 1, the electric version of the Mustang. It has the 'gear' selector on the right of the column.
  20. Clue - he turned 94 last Sunday.
  21. No.

    Close enough. The actual lyrics of the Lionel Ritchie song are "I just called to say I love you."
