  1. When you think of the number of non-sporting events that take place at the MCG and Marvel Stadium, it will give Hobart a facility for entertainment that they don't currently have. As for the cost - you could compare it to the horrendously expensive Metro Tunnel and Suburban Rail loop that generations of Victorians have been saddled with. But many on this forum have exclaimed "But it's infrastructure we need.", even if not available well into the future.

  9. But that's what the Vic Gov't want. We have a gas hot water system, had it for 45 years. Within a couple of years we'll be required to replace it with electric.
  10. Not looking forward to being under the metal roof at the shed tomorrow. The thunderous rain on the roof on Monday made talking near impossible. Tomorrow will be fine and 34°.

  12. A reporter asked what his October MRI was for. He didn't know which part of his body had been tested. But he Aced it!!
  13. Morning or afternoon?
  14. Had the most ridiculous weather I have ever seen. Forget 4 seasons in one day. Driving a distance of less than 5 km, I was in sunlight, then rain so heavy I needed the wipers on continuous, not intermittent, then back into sunshine, THREE times. At the shed today, we were sitting at the lunch table, in hot sun through the skylight, the next minute unable to talk due to the rain on the metal roof. So loud I had to take my hearing aid out of my ear. Here is what the roof looks like.
  15. Personally you might not be, but your line is.
  16. Yada yada yada.
  17. Trump has also previously shared the course with several high-profile celebrities and professional players, including the likes of Tiger Woods, Wayne Rooney and Samuel L. Jackson. Now, it has been claimed that Trump's golf trips have cost US taxpayers an eye-watering amount of money. As per The Independent, Trump has already spent $71 million in taxpayer-funded golf trips in his second term, and if this pace continues, the final figure is expected to reach $300 million by the end of his term. During his first stint as President, Trump reportedly spent $151 million on taxpayer-funded golf trips. According to HuffPost, Trump made his 16th trip to Mar-a-Lago this week, with each trip costing around $3.4 million in travel and security. The report added: "Trump made nine trips to his Bedminster, NJ, golf resort about $1.1m each, and one trip to his new Aberdeen, Scotland course, costing nearly $10m in taxpayer funds."

  19. When I click on the language indicator (ENG) on my task bar, the pop-up menu shows 3 options. ENGLISH AUSTRALIA with a sublabel US, English New Zealand (NZ Aotearoa) and United States (United Kingdom). Regardless of which option I choose, it highlights words such as colour until I remove the U.
  20. Forgive me Jerry, but I doubt you use a spell checker. If you did, you'd have a page covered in red underlines.In just two paragraphs of your post above, this is what I found. Check the yellow highlights
