On my way to the Shed this morning, I was stopped at the lights waiting to make a right hand turn. The lights changed, and the line of cars moved off, only to be stopped just around the corner. A long wheelbase truck with dual rear axles was trying to back into a warehouse. It was so long the front wheels were on the crown of the road. As he rolled back, the back wheels of the bogey rolled through the gutter and up the drive of the warehouse. This lifted the front axle of the bogey so the driving wheels were clear of the ground, and just spinning.He had to let it roll forward again, and try a couple of more times till he had sufficient momentum to roll back to where the drive wheels could get a hold and get him off the road.

Saw a girl at the gym on an exercise bike, wearing a safety helmet, so I put on a life jacket and got on the rowing machine beside her.

There's another one on Youtube where the closed captions are shocking. It's about how decimals are better by 1,000. Calld Nerd Nite.

Nah, nah.

Right Marty.

I Googled EV range shortfall and came up with these: https://thedriven.io/2025/08/06/tesla-byd-kia-and-smart-evs-all-fall-short-in-australian-real-world-range-tests/ https://autotalk.com.au/industry-news/aaa-tests-show-evs-fall-short-of-advertised-range-in-real-world-conditions https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/buyer-beware-this-ev-doesn-t-do-what-it-says-on-the-tin-20250805-p5mkgo https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-guardian-australia/20250807/281522232158061 https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/electriccars/article-13186995/How-far-electric-cars-fall-short-advertised-range-does-vehicle-rank.html There were others behind paywalls, like The Australian and Daily Telegraph.

Simply announced during a couple of half hourly news reports on Sunrise and The Morning Show. I don't know the source.

According to a report on the TV this morning, the BYD Atto 3 and Tesla Model 3 fell short of their quoted range by 23%. Other brands and models also fell short, but by smaller percentages.

Very good.

Correct Spacey. Surprisingly, Snoop Dogg failed to guess it in the 30 seconds. On an episode I watched tonight, not the puzzle below, the contestant missed her bonus question. Had she guessed it, she would have won an extra $1 million.

I was heading out to my podiatrist appointment this morning and as I walked past the mailbox on the way to the car, I glanced in to see if there was anything there. I saw an envelope, so pulled it out. I was staggered to find it was a formal looking enveloped with a typed address, but it was addressed to my late wife, who died in March 2022. I opened it and it was from an American based travel firm offering trips to Europe and Ireland. The address on the reply envelope was a PO Box at Glen Waverley, but their website has no Australian contact details such as address or phone number. I wanted to have a go at them and ask where they got my wifes details.

A blue whales butthole can stretch to three and a half feet, which makes it the second biggest arsehole in the world next to Donald Trump.

Correct Yes, the contestant is Snoop Dogg. This was Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

Singer Col Joye dies at the age of 89. Further detals to come.

Don't worry Spacey, that happens at the bottom of a page. Both correct.

The letters are C M H A. In the bonus round for the contestant with the highest accumulated bank, they have the choice of three subject. In this instance, they chose "What are you doing?". The six letters on the left are given to start you off, the same 6 letters every game. The contestant gets to choose three more consenants and one more vowel as shown on the right. These are applied to the puzzle, and the contestant gets 30 seconds to solve it. Here is the solution: Next-
