Just like work, I’m always picking up the dropped unused screws out of the sweepings. The young fella doesn’t look too hard cause he doesn’t have to buy them.

I know they are technically from our most south eastern state, I had the pleasure of watching Crowded House live 2 weeks ago. my wife has always knocked me liking them, but after seeing them live she is a bit of a convert. After they finished up at the Opera house I never thought I would get to see them play. Their music still sounds great after 30 odd years.

Wheels magazine has had a lot of interesting info on automonus vehicles lately, a big hurdle according to the articles is the legislation to go with it, who is at fault when a program saves the occupants of its own vehicle when avoiding an accident and for example takes out a motorcycle that is the least path of resistance. They question is it the manufacturer, the programmer or the owner that has to take responsibility. If a human makes a decision in the heat of the moment in this example it would be an accident, but if it programmed does that make it premeditated. wont it be fun to give bureaucrats and politicians something else to stuff up before it comes to fruition.

Sew a fur collar on the jacket and wear it in the plane you will be safer, too many crazies with no training on the road. Dash cams Australia is a scary watch every month when I get the highlight real on YouTube.

Scary the lack of aircraft knowledge, when wanting to fly it. Mag was turned on and he played with prop, I know there was no fresh fuel at that point, but still not safe practice. still I really appreciate the aircraft for its history and that it has not been destroyed by time. Just don’t think it would be airworthy after all those years. It could still kill you from a dozen feet or so.

At work I find lots of cheap mag wheels on caravans with stems that are perishing to the point of failure in around 2 years. I have an old wheel I found for my Valiant in the bush at Kalgoorlie 25 years ago and is still holding air and the stem works. Seems a lot of good tyre design can be let down by a cheap minor component.

This morning comm bank eftpos terminals were down, luckily most customers have phone banking access and the tower was working. Not good when you arrange for pickup of jobs and it doesn’t work. Technology is good but it’s not fail safe. We have had many times when the towers were out at same time as other issues.

I don’t go to church with any regularity, funerals and such only. I have sent my 5 kids to a Christian school, due to the school having staff who care, teach the children to respect rules-uniforms, no phones, no fraternising of any kind, and especially like the way they don’t give awards for every little thing. They ask the students to do their best at every opportunity rather than saying you don’t conform to this set level. they have a good handle on what goes on in their school. The kids are given conflicting info in science from religious classes, but are allowed to make up their own minds, rather than being spoon fed their way is the only way. we have not been treated any different than the families who attend their church, which we appreciate.

Everyone loves bacon, until they see what it comes from?, some people don’t understand what raw food looks like. makes me feel lucky I grew up in the country where food was killed and cut up at home.

What happened to editors and checking work. That probably shouldn’t have passed muster.

I've found great northern Zero to be quite OK as I too like the beer for taste rather than getting tanked. One cannot fly, when the weather is good the next morning if too much booze the night before, along with the driving early etc. I would much rather get up with the options open. I tell others to stuff off if they comment on it.

I Agree, it takes your attention when watching movies or a series. It’s not like we can press record on the VHS and “steal” it anymore is it. They repeat everything on 10 different named channels they own anyway so you can watch it at any time

The Meme is funny, I still find the fact the mother of current complainant allowed her 17 year older daughter onto the yacht of a multi millionaire and prince because it would “further her modelling career” a grub. These types do not court the attention of young women for a game of tidly winks or scrabble. When will people learn you reap what you sow. rant over. clinton

The annoying sound you described in initial post, is like the annoying sound trail bikes make when ridden in small yards-full throttle, off throttle, repeat. It’s enough to make one feel murderous.

Usually involves connecting ankles to ears, so flexibility probably helps.

In our mob, throwback is what the mummy does, not genetics😆

Can we start a petition “ compulsory euthanasia for anti vaxer’s “ we could send it to Canberra after 10k signatures and give it a go. since everything else can be protested or petitioned against.🙄

Had my first jab today, never even noticed needle and I hate them. I had a lumbar puncture as a kid to treat meningitis that nearly done me in. hopefully stays ok and no ill effects.

My wife is one of your old students. probably shouldn’t use”old” or I will get smacked in the head.

Hi Mark, I too am sorry to see you leaving, I try to ignore poor sportsmanship on the forums. It is hard, it I consider your input informative and entertaining when tounge in cheek. It would be great to have you stay. If you don’t I wish you well and will miss your input. I tolerated a lot of bullying at school, since it didn’t turn me into a mass school murderer I believe it made me stronger for adult life. I can ignore d!£kneads and still get on with life in a proactive way. I hope you can find a path like this and continue to engage with your online friends who will miss you. clinton

wifey found this on FB, fairly accurate for children.

Adds new meaning to owning a sh!tbox.

Wife found this on FB, gave me a good laugh.

I froze in Hawaii on a trip to top of volcano, told to bring a light jacket. I had shorts on and a tee shirt. Get to 10000 feet peak to watch sunrise and it was 7c with wind chill taking it into the minuses. The Americans comment on how tough us Aussies must be to tolerate it. I was frozen when I got in the van for the ride down for breakfast at a tropical plantation. Had my hands jammed into armpits all the way back to get feeling in them. Well into mid 20’s when we got down.

Sad but true, I’ve asked about many that would have ended the same.
