I emailed him and got a reply within 15 minutes. He is well, but has had a few system problems logging onto different sites.

I just checked his profile. He last visited in Nov 25, and on AP. in August 25.

I said to her, "Why would you want to go out on a freezing cold night to watch your team get beaten and lose your keys?" She relied, "you go out to the Shed more times than I go out. I'm not going out next weekend." Her teams are playing interstate.

Look at the number of informal votes and other minor parties/independents.

What a disaster of a weekend. My daughter's team Collingwood - beaten. My eldest son's team Essendon - beaten. What made it worse was the security at the MCG.

Last year, security let two people with guns through the gate, even though the detector beeped. Now they insist on everyone emptying their pockets. My daughter had already removed all metal objects from her pockets, but they insisted that she remove everything else, so she put the metal stuff on the table to remove hankies etc from her pocket, and didn't beep when scanned. Then she missed picking up her keys and didn't realise till she got back to Mitcham and couldn't get into her car. Andrew had to go to the station  and pick her up.

They are going to the Melbourne Storm NRL game this afternoon and will go early so they can go over to the MCG to pick up her keys.

In many ways, my daughter is weird.  She has wanted an electric car for more than 15 years. Originally wanted to convert her Ford Festiva to electric. Even attended a seminar at Swinburne Tech. Now she wants to buy a Mustang Mach e and has almost saved up enough to do so. But she normally only drives a couple of km. a day.

I take a HTV card from everyone. No-one knows which I will follow, if any of them.

If you vote for X, then you want them to have the best chance to win. You may not know which order of preferences will best assist that result. Following X's HTV helps you decide which works best for them.

Yes.

Every ON voter questioned on TV, when asked why, said "We needed a change."

Yes Marty, you're correct.

Very good.

You got that right Nev.

You're dancing around it, Nev. Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Your preferences only apply in your electorate, which wins one seat in parliament. To win government, a party must win sufficient electorates in a first past the post race in the House, so it's only a partial preference vote.

With first past the post in a multi candidate electorate, depending on the number of candidates, the winner could win with only 30% of the first preferences. That means that 70% of voters didn't want that candidate. Don't they have the right to say "OK,  X didn't win, but I don't want Z, I'd prefer Y.

Correct Marty.

The mothers may have been under the same duress as the Iranian Women's Soccer Team who wanted asylum in Australia, with threats to their family in Iran. They may have had no say in who they married, the Muslim religion treats women worse than dogs. 9 year old girls are forced to marry. The mothers did not want that sort of treatment for their children. Bringing them here gives the kids a chance to grow up as caring compassionate human beings.

The actual lyric is "I Can See Clearly Now". There should be a second C there. The plane (not plain) is meant to be a Lear 45.

I wish those idiot reporters would stop referring to "Pauline's Jet". Can't they see the ruddy great propeller on the front of it. And it's less than $2million, not multi-million. It's as bad as calling it a Cessna.

Sorry, the pictogram above should have ben below the confirmation of the previous one. This one is  --  The (D) Snows oF Killaman JarO  --  The Snows of Kilimanjaro, American film of 1962.

What I can't understand is why people drive those kinds of vehicle around the suburban area. They take up 1.5 car parking spaces, and anyone in a medium sized sedan parked beside them can't see past them when exiting their parking space.
