A pretty good ABC analysis of his photo op. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-04/daniel-andrews-china-military-parade-analysis/105732406

Michael Charlton, the original host of the ABC's "Four Corners" programme, has died at age 98, in a hospital near his home in the Blue Mountains, NSW. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-04/michael-charlton-dies-aged-98/105733862

Andrews attended the gathering in a private capacity. He's probably just looking for more Chinese investment in his personal business activities. He knows where the real money is. https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/daniel-andrews-private-statesman-grubby-diplomacy

What's wrong with Dickhead Dan, that he wants to be photographed with a bunch of dictators and mass murderers? 🙄

C. They are all types of trees with jumbled letters.

The news is, Hanson-Young has asked Katter to apologise to the journo, OR resign. I reckon he's ignorant enough to double down, and refuse to do either. SBS has found a ripper of a photo of Bob, he looks like he just quaffed a glass of plonk that was well and truly "off". https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/greens-call-for-bob-katter-to-resign-after-he-threatened-to-punch-journalist/365lk4oz3

I wonder if all the cats attack you, when you wear a dog-fur coat? 😄 And when wearing that coat, do you spend half your time feeling the need to scratch behind your ear with one leg?? 😄

An excellent article in the link below, from a woman teacher - and it was initiated by one of her Year 9 students asking if she ever felt like punching out students who asked annoying questions. https://www.watoday.com.au/national/hey-bob-katter-try-being-a-teacher-i-reckon-you-wouldn-t-last-five-minutes-20250901-p5mrjp.html

U and E.

Joe Bugner the pro boxer, has passed away at age 75 in a Brisbane aged-care home, after suffering from dementia for some years. I always thought he was Irish (never having studied up on him), but he was actually born in Hungary to Hungarian parents, and the family fled to Britain after the 1956 Communist invasion of Hungary. He was raised in Britain and became the British Commonwealth and European boxing champion for a number of years. He fought both Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, losing both championship fights - although Fraziers win was so close, it has been disputed. Joe retired from boxing in 1976 saying his heart was no longer in it, but he returned with sporadic comebacks over the next two decades, with varying success. A poor investment in a vineyard that resulted in serious financial loss for him, made Bugner come back to boxing. He also acted in a few films, and was a contestant on the television show "I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!", in 2009. He moved to Australia in 1986 and fought as "Aussie Joe", when he did have matches after that time. He claimed he felt vilified in the U.K. after he ended the career of British boxing champion Henry Cooper via a disputed match result. Cooper was a smaller and lighter opponent, and lacked the reach of Bugner. Joe was a huge bloke, 193cm (6' 4") and 102kgs, but as a boxer, it has been touted he lacked the "killer instinct" to ensure wins, after one early opponent Ulric Regis, died from brain injuries not long after a match with Bugner. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-02/aussie-joe-bugner-dies-aged-75/105723390

C, because the words are all body parts with re-arranged letters.

She never looks at this site, Nev, and I wouldn't show her anything I post here. She probably thinks this forum is better than me being out and about with attractive female associates.

I'll take the real wife with her arguments, attempted dominance, occasional drama (not that many in my case, fortunately), occasional moodiness, and the extreme sensitivity - because at the end of the day, no robot could ever replace her heart of gold, her loving nature, and her willingness to share everything. I'd be lost without her.

Spacey, your alternator should be pumping out 30 amps or more at 1000rpm engine speed. You might need to check that alternator to see if it's performing properly.

I won't use any voice assistant, because I reckon the Big Brother companies of the Internet world, would try to record you at every opportunity, even if you do have microphones switched off. I reckon it would take very little to activate a switched off microphone.

I did, and I got YES, and I reckon my answer is correct.

Yes.

Spacey, an engine alternator will be producing nearly full amperage output at a little over an idle, they don't need to be revved like the old generators. It's likely your battery is either sulphated, or at the end of its working life, and can no longer hold a decent charge.

Winners and Losers?

Lee must be a Pom, he only bathes every Tuesday.

That machine fairly ripped him a new one!! 😄
