Sorry Octave, when I lived in Sydney I didn't see any multi-lingual street signs like, say Townsville has. Again, call me racist if you like, but a lot of Asians refuse to learn English, let alone aboriginal. Just watch Highway Patrol on TV. Our suburbs are becoming about 75-80% Asian now. Our street has 42 houses, of which about 30 have Asian occupants. There are more Asian supermarkets than Australian.

full cost of all the name changes to Aboriginal names
How are they going to translate the aboriginal names to Chinese/Japanese for all those towns, particularly in Qld, which have dual language signs?

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
#1. I'm the head of the family, so call me The President.
#2. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
#3. We're here to take care of your needs, ! so we'll call you the People.
#4. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class.
#5. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future.
"Now, think about that and see if it makes sense."
So, the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So, the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he looks in the peephole and finds his father in bed with the Nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class, while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

Industry insider Dan Ufer has urged drivers to "reduce your risk of being at fault" in any carpark fender bender with one helpful tip, saying drivers should always reverse into a parking spot. Why? Because reversing out with limited vision could increase the chance of a collision and in a two car prang, the reversing driver is always deemed responsible.
"It’s best practice to reverse park into a car park because if you’re reversing, you’re 100 per cent always at fault," the Queenslander explained.

Who hasn't been booked for doing 50 in a school zone at 3:45 pm?
There is a road at the end of our street which runs past a secondary school. The speed limit is 40 kph, 24/7. Supposedly because kids might be going the the basketball building or sports grounds at any time. The street also has speed humps, roundabouts or chicane.

Reilly went to trial for armed robbery. The jury foreman came out and announced, 'Not guilty.'
'That's grand!' shouted Reilly. 'Does that mean I can keep the money?'-

An Irishman's first drink with his son:
"While reading an article last night about fathers and the sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint.
"Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage.
"I got him a Guinness. He didn't like it, so I drank it.
"Then I got him a Kilkenny's, he didn't like that either, so I drank it. Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager?
"He didn't. I drank it.
"I thought maybe he'd like whisky better than beer so we tried a Jameson's; nope!
"In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast , Ireland 's finest whisky.
"He wouldn't even smell it.
"What could I do but drink it!
"By the time I realized he just didn't like to drink, I was so shit-faced I could hardly push his stroller back home!"-

The salesman said, "Will you put it up yourself?"
The man replied, "No, I'll put it up in the loungeroom."

Mobile phone dramas ...
in Science and Technology

My mate has a Samsung phone, but is a tech illiterate, so is always cursing it. Wants to go back to his old flip phone. My first phon was a Nokia flip phone. My wife was given an Apple iPhone 6 when my son upgraded. Later he upgraded again, and gave her his old phone, so I inherited the iPhone 6. I find it perfect for what I want. Use bluetooth so I can hear it ring even if I'm in another room, it integrates with my smart watch, and takes great photos and videos, nearly as good as my Lumix digital camera. I can even take a photo on my phone using my smart watch. Set up the camera, select Camera on the watch, and shake my wrist to operate the shutter. I see no need to upgrade to a phone costing in excess of $700.
