A dietician was once addressing a large audience in Chicago.
“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful.
Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realises the germs in our drinking water.
But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all eat it.
Can anyone here tell me what lethal product I’m referring to?”
“You, sir, in the first row, please give us your idea.”
The man lowered his head and said,
“Wedding cake.”

"Click Frenzy" is another trap. It doesn't matter how much it is discounted, if you don't NEED it, it's a waste of money.

Hey people, don't knock Nev's friend Dan.

I think advertising and social media have a lot to do with it.They see lots of things they want and don't have the means to get them. They are seduced by the "influencers" and fell they need to publicese their activities.

Saw a van on the road today with a sign on the back door.

There are a couple of suggestions for treatment other than locking them up.  One is making the parents, who failed to bring them up to respect others, and others property, to be held responsible for restitution. The other is a form of national service. Not necessarily military, although a form of bootcamp for the worst of them would be good, but some form of community service with strict supervision. Just putting it out there.

Here is a catalogue of the military hardware lost by Russia in the Ukraine...

There are lots of reports about the increase in youth criminal activity, to the point where a group of people in Qld have resorted to vigilante action.

I post the following article for your consideration. I know I shouldn't, every one and his dog shoot me down when I do. But with all the assembled wisdom in this group, I thought you might care to comment.

I was reading the headline page of MSN News. I got the shock of my life.

The headline read "QANTAS Airline Closes Down."

Then I read further and they were talking about the shareprice on Friday.

Please can we have our ball back?

Speaking of numbers built, I took a look at the WWII bombers built where the number was more than 1,000.

Armstrong Whitworth Whitley       1,814

Avro Lancaster                               7,377

B-17                                               12,731

B-29                                                3,970

B-24                                               18,188

Beaufighter                                     5,928

Blenheim                                         1,821

H.P. Halifax                                     6,176

Heinkel He-111                               6,508

Heinkel He-177                               1,169

Short Sterling                                  2,371

Vickers Wellington                         11,461

So it surprised me, after more than 2 years research, it was only recently that I heard of the 4th most produced bomber of WWII, the Petlyakov Pe-2, with 11,430 built.

Brilliant driver!!

Victory Day celebrations were much downgraded this year, with only one tank (all he has left?) and no airforce flypast.

The TV news crew went with a 100 year old lady who drives to do her shopping every week.

A bit like W.A., in Vic a person can continue to drive until a doctor or family member decides their licence should be suspended or cancelled. 

Oh to be a young multi-millionaire. A young guy who recently paid $39 mill for a penthouse in Melbourne, on the 57th floor, had a glass wall removed so he could have his $3 mill McLaren Senna GTR lifted in, to go in his foyer, as the racing car cannot be registered and he didn't want it getting covered in dust in a garage.  Read more and see video here.
