  1. The stupid quizzes on FB. They say "This quiz is so hard you won't score 5 or higher," then I score 10/10. They ask questions like " Where is the highest mountain in Africa?" and give four choices, only one of which is in Africa.
  2. Nah, he'll carry his grudge to the grave.
  3. My late wife enjoyed playing the pokies, and won a few jackpots. She earned the money, so did what she liked with it. I couldn't even bear to be in the room with the rowdy contraptiions. I'd drop her off and pick her up when she was finished. As I have said in the past, I take a couple of small tickets in Ozlotto or Powerrball, but only when the jackpot has passed $10m. Two mini tickets, average cost $20 per draw. Had a few very small wins. Hardly an addiction. But, as the old Tatts motto used to say, you've got to be in it to win it. It only takes one game to win it, if you're not meant to win, 1000 games won't help.

    Right. This one is a bit different. It is a song lyric. I'll only do a couple of these. They shouldn't be too hard.

    Too hard?
  8. The topic of the PBY should be in the Aircraft Pilots site. a. There it would be seen by many flying members who do not visit this site. b. While it did start with GON's video, the Photography topic is to discuss cameras, processing, etc.
  9. Donald Trump enforces 40-year-old death penalty rule in one state sparking nationwide debate Read more.
  10. 30 of the oldest photos known to man,
  11. You are perfectly entitled to your opinion. You are NOT entitled to tell anyone else what theirs should be. We are all entitled to our opinion, whether right or wrong. Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't. But you think it's OK to say whatever you want about anyone and call them all sorts of names, but jump all over me when I do the same. Then you turn around and blast Trump for saying the disgusting things he says about Democrats.
  12. Oh! Heaven forbid! How dare I have the audacity to criticise or even comment on anything the ALP does.
  13. So the video on the news was faked?
  14. Airbus Albo now in England. He's everywhere but here. Meanwhile, his best buddy Buffoon has just imposed 100% tariffs on pharma.

    There are a couple of possible answers. The most common one that came with the puzzle is a small snack of fruit and nuts taken on a hike.
  18. Coming for Christmas from the Royal Australian Mint.
  19. Branches closing, ATM's disappearing. There are shops around with signs "NO CASH - TAP AND GO ONLY".
  20. Trump has unveiled a gallery of presidents portraits in the White House. All there except Joe Biden, whose place is filled with a photo of the autopen which signed his signature. Such a small minded bastard.

    And dark - tall, dark and handsome.
  24. Yes, I use online banking and payment by card all the time, but it bugs me that on so many occasions when I tap the card, a surcharge is added. Order the fish and chips - $39.00, tap the card, $39.50. Buy a lotto ticket, buy a pizza, surcharge added. I don't use a banking app on my phone, and many older people don't have phones that can handle apps. But now, you are being forced to use this technology. Going on public transport? Tap your phone. Buying a coffee? Tap your phone. Granny, 90+, is totally lost. And these apps use up your phone battery and data allowance on your phone. I need another haircut. I'm a cheapskate, I go to a booth in the mall where you pay by cash into a machine which issues a voucher. A buzz cut is $15. The machine does not give change, So you need 1 x $10 and 1 x $5. ATM's don't issue $5 notes. So I need to go to the default bank, Coles or Woolies and get cash out at the checkout. But you have to buy something you may not need just to go through the checkout. You are being manipulated all the time. Customer service is dead.
