If you got the final question on The 1% Club Show on Ch 7 the other night, that question was worth $99,000.

Looks like that drone attack on the Kremlin may have been done as an excuse to start the new offensive.

Well, Maurie's been dead a few years.

Here's a quick question.

2 parts Paprika

1 part  Vegemite

2 parts Lobster

2 parts Vanilla

What Aussie dessert does that make?

I have a correction to make. The BlowUp TV program is coming to Seven, not Nine. Just as bad.

Great Aussie Joke.

I enjoy watching both the English and Australian versions of the Chase, and often shake my head at some of the contestants answers, but when it comes to movies, books, TV, Shakespeare, Greek mythology or some sports questions, I say "Who the hell cares." Questions like "Who was the 1982 darts champion?" It's like all the posts on Facebook, about what happened in this movie, or what was wrong with these TV shows. But you have to sort the wheat from the chaff. There is also good stuff there.

I was watching a 60 Minutes tribute to Barry Humphries tonight, and missed most of the new 1% club, which tests not what you know, but how you think. I also like Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, trying to solve the puzzle as the letters are spun up by the contestants.

I'll accept quiz shows like Chaser.

No offence O.M.E., but you should go on The Chase - as a chaser. You seem to have an answer for everything.

In our municipality (City of Whitehorse), We have 3 bins. A small one with red lid for general landfill waste, but there is less and less that you are allowed to put in it. It is collected weekly. A larger one with green lid, for lawn clippings, hedge prunings, etc., and one with a yellow lid for recyclable - plastic, glass, paper etc. These two are collected on alternate weeks. We are shortly to get another larger bin with a purple lid. Then we will have to separate glass from  the yellow lid bin and put it in the new bin. Even kitchen scraps such as vege peelings, egg shells etc., now go in the green lid garden waste bin.

At our transfer station, you can take old appliances - toasters, kettles, irons, etc., free of charge. Old computer parts go in a separate area for collection to reclaim valuable metals. There are companies whole will collect white goods and other metal (mowers, BBQ's) and may even pay you. Charities will accept good unwanted clothes, but worn out stuff is a problem. Anything you take to the transfer station (trucked to landfill) and all vehicles must go over a weighbridge to get in, and pay the council. Dan's proposed tax for charities would be on top of that. Rate payers useed to get 3 free passes per year for a car/trailer load, but that was scrapped a few years ago.  You get two hard waste collections per year, maximum 3 cu mt each. Good for old couches, tables, chairs, etc.

I did almost all the cooking for the past 10 years, and some of it before that. I still do a bit, but my daughter has taken over much of it for the last 6 - 8 months. She has to do something to justify her Carers pension. I can't remember when my wife last cooked a meal, over 10 years before she passed away.

Have it your own way. His farts smell like roses.

Not according to the Charities representative I saw interviewed. Garbage being treated as an asset and taxed.

Sorry to divert from the above serious subject for something a little less, but I am getting fed up with Channel 9. Morning, afternoon or evening, virtually every day, when I tune in, all I get is Lego Masters. Really? Something you might expect from some obscure channel on Foxtel, but Channel 9?

If that's not enough, there is another intellectually stimulating program starting soon, featuing things made out of balloons, called BlowUp. Also on 9 I think.

My daughter and son live with me (I with them, my house?).

That wonderful, kind, generous, benevolent Victorian Premier, Mr. Dan Andrews, is planning to tax charities on the donated goods which are unusable and have to go to landfill. Anything is OK to reign in the monterous budget deficit.

You've been spying. On Monday, my daughter made a large pot of lamb shank soup. Enough for 6 meals for the three of us, plus 3 for my other son to take home when he visits tomorrow. One meal Monday, 5 in the freezer. Do the same once or twice every year.

Like those creepy cratures seen in CCTV and dashcam footage.

Recent doco's on TV have shown that Diana was 'chosen' by the firm to produce an heir, and was most unhappy. Shots of Charles smiling at her and she is staring at the floor. Very lovey dovey. Once she had produced the heir and the 'spare', she wanted out. Then Charles could marry his 'true love'.

every little kid should learn to clean their own room, their classroom, etc

I have seen where, in Japan, schools have no cleaners. Every child is required to keep the school clean and tidy.

The advertising Industry is unceasingly trying to make you buy things you maybe don't really need

Absolutely Nev. The amount of garbage advertised on TV, the internet, everywhere, is incredible. And the people pushing it ae held up as examples, or influencers. I have learned, of necessity, to live frugally. My son and daughter insist on buying a take-away lunch every Friday. A 90c cup of instant noodles does me. Sure, a HJ's Whopper or Carolina Chicken would be nice, but too damned expensive. Maybe for my birthday perhaps.

When I got retrenched, I never got the dole as it was called then. I got any job I could. Door to door selling (books, roof sealing, accounting software), telemarketing, sweeping schoolyards, part time drink waiter, you name it. Was registered with three Temp agencies. Worked one job which was 6 pm till 6 am,monitoring alarms. Was there for 18 months.
