    Baldwin has to be good. It's the opposite of hairloss.
  7. Some ceasefire. Hamas is rearming and Israel has shot some Palestinians. Cop that, Donnie. As for the bodies of missing hostages, probably blown up by Israel or buried in mass graves with the thousands of dead Palestinians. Who knows where they might be?
  8. Here's a very random thought, not that it affects anyone. Why did 10 days disappear from the calendar in 1582? https://www.iflscience.com/theres-a-very-good-reason-why-october-1582-on-your-phone-is-missing-10-days-81135
  9. A few interesting facts about the Milky Way. https://facts.uk/facts-about-the-milky-way/
  10. Hamas returned the 20 remaining living hostages in Gaza to Israel and handed over the remains of four dead hostages. 250 Palestinian prisoners and over 1,700 detainees from Gaza, held by Israel for two years without charge, have now been released.
  11. Looks like they ran out of letters in the alphabet.

  13. I'm a dumb old shit. To me, most of that sounds like a term that has become popular in America - WORD SALAD.

    Correct. Hayley Joel Osment movie. To answer this one, you will need to know what this is called in the UK. The puzzle -
  19. From the Motor Accident Insurance Commission website: Is CTP insurance good value? Yes. Unlike many other types of insurance, CTP provides unlimited indemnity to the insured. Benefits paid to the injured party depend on the extent of the injuries and can include the cost of ambulance, hospital and medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income and long-term care. Limits may apply with respect to loss of income (the upper limit being three times average weekly earnings per week) and limits may apply in certain circumstances regarding the payment of legal costs.
  20. OK. Let's look at it another way. You are an exemplary driver, going about your business, and a ratbag driver goes flying through a red light, cleans up your car, leaving you with head, chest and leg injuries. You are going to be in hospital for weeks and recuporating for longer. Who pays for that? The other guy's third party insurance. Luckily, it's compulsory, or he might not have had it. Then you would be up that well known creek. Obviously, if it was a crim in a stolen vehicle, you might not be so lucky. The CTP is the price you pay for being lucky enough not to make an account draining payout.

    A strong American influence, but a song lyric. Saturday in the park, I thought it was the fourth of July.
  23. Compare it to home insurance. You pay out hundreds per year to insure your home. Why? To cover the cost should your home burn down, or get crushed by a falling tree. If that doesn't happen, you don't get a refund. You pay hundreds for home contents insurance. If burglars don't break into your house and steal your valuables, you don't get a refund.
