  1. We have two members at the Men's Shed who have suffered strokes. Robert uses a zimmer walking frame, and is always accompanied by his carer Keith. Geoff uses a stick with a 4 point foot, and is brought and collected by his wife. Both have braces on their lower leg.

    Quickies part 2

    A man was up before the court for car stealing. The judge read the charges and asked, "How do you plead?" The man whispered to his lawyer, who said, "Are you sure?" The man nodded. The lawyer said, "Your honour, my client pleads guilty." The judge says, "A very wise decision. It takes a strong person to admit their guilt. You will be treated less harshly. Why did you steal the vehicle?" The man replied, "My car was out of action and I had to get to work." The judge said, "Why didn't you take the bus? The man replied, "Your honour, I don't have a licence to drive a bus."
  3. I don't expect you to guess this one because in 2012 he suffered a stroke which has rendered hin unrecognisable. He is actor Tim Curry, who starred in The Rocky Horror Show, and 'It'. Then: Now:
  4. I don't care where people come from, I have friends who come from all over. But if they choose to come and live here, they have to abide by our laws. So should people who were born here. But if they are going to steal or highjack cars, break into houses, smash and grab from stores, firebomb shops, houses or religious places, we don't need them, and they are not welcome. But many immigrants aremore than welcome. Examples are Peter Bol. Sudanese, now living in Austrealia, and has won Olympic and Comm Games medals for Australia. And Gout Gout, born in Australia whit Sudanese parents, and looks like becoming one of the greatest runners of all time. Absolutely more than welcome. But those machete wielding thugs jumping shop counters can go back where they came from.
  5. Well done. Led from go to whoa. Makes up for the problems in Melbourne. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton disqualified following after race checks. Leclerc's car was 1kg under the 800kg car weight limit and Hamilton's plank underneath the car had excessive wear by half a millimetre.
  6. Gatekeeper required. Who moved the door? What a pucker! Add another extension. Who misplaced the garden bed? Russian safe house. No falling out of these windows. Knock knock. Who's there? Careful backing the car out.

  9. Speaking of golf, I lost the link, but someone who had played against him did say a lot about his cheating. Many have accused him of cheating, but others claim he is an exceptional golfer. https://www.sportbible.com/golf/donald-trump-golf-cheating-pga-976968-20250321

  11. In January 2025, the Trump administration froze billions in foreign aid, claiming it was necessary to realign spending. Critics argued it was a political move. Nonprofits filed a lawsuit, claiming the freeze violated Congress’s control over spending. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ordered the funds to be released, but the administration appealed. Supreme Court Decision The Supreme Court ruled to allow lower courts to determine how the funds should be disbursed, rejecting the freeze. The majority argued that funds approved by Congress must be released as planned, while the dissenting justices believed the lower courts overstepped their authority.

  13. Sky News ground to a halt as they cut to the White House for breaking news as US President Donald Trump announced updates on his recent dismantling of the Department of Education. The President also announced that Boeing had won the contract to launch new fighter jets so the US can continue to “dominate the skies”. President Trump, accompanied by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, announced a significant enhancement to America's air power with the introduction of the F-47, the latest in a new fleet of Sixth Generation Fighter jets. Touted as the most advanced jets globally, Boeing has secured production rights after winning a highly competitive bidding process. The Next Generation Air Dominance programme will replace Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor with a crewed aircraft built to enter combat alongside drones. The plane's design remains a closely held secret, but would likely include stealth, advanced sensors, and cutting-edge engines. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/nHozqPs8

  15. Well, here's another WowNews for you. Suck it up. Donald Trump officially takes away major right from Joe Biden claiming he ‘can’t be trusted’ In a bold and controversial move, Donald Trump signed off on a sweeping memo on Friday (March 21) revoking the security clearances of more than a dozen high-profile figures, citing concerns over ‘national interest.’ Among those stripped of access to daily intelligence briefings are former President Joe Biden and his entire family, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, as well as several attorneys and outspoken anti-Trump politicians. This unprecedented decision marks yet another aggressive step by Trump to reshape the political landscape, intensifying the divide between his administration and key political opponents.

    Correct Marty. 10 = 25 > 2 x 10 + 5 = 25 15 = 50 > 3 x 15 + 5 = 50 20 = 85 > 4 x 20 + 5 = 85, therefore 25 = ? > 5 x 25 + 5 = 130.
