He's given himself (or maybe, herself) an hour to eat it. And, judging by the fact that it is still basically intact, it is frozen. Imagine the mess and screeching if it was hot!

OK, conspiracy theorists. Work on it!

He needs no encouragement

Phil, we have fires, heat waves, lousy politicians, goat track roads, greedy financial institutions and many other evils, but fortunately all is pushed aside by the awful Dad jokes and brilliant historical snippets you manage to find. May you ever keep supervising us out here in the colonies, although we reserve the right to get up you as the occasion deserves.

Spacey, morse no longer required (although you can still use it) and with a fairly basic knowledge you can use a range of HF, VHF and UHF frequencies.

Phil, is the number of each type of radio an indicator of how many you need to have ONE that still works?

This is the "Before" photo. The "After" photo is under construction. Or, at least, it will be.

Another gospel ceremony is Baptism. Keeping of the Sabbath might score a guernsey, too.

I must do some research on how (who)  the biblical books were selected. The Gospels come closest to the 'real' Christianity, I suspect a bunch of patriarchal Church academics selected the rest. They all have some use, but we must remember who they were written to, and consider their prejudices and culture. I suspect the abhorrence of homosexuality in the New Testament letters is a rebuttal of some 'interesting' cultural features of middle east adolescence customs.

Not so sure, the first railway station is Canary Wharf, and we all know how cats like canaries.

Some people! They ask for water, you give them soup and they refuse! What is the world coming to!

Arlo Guthrie wrote a song (probably many songs, actually) called "The Motorcycle Song". He refers to writing this song while going over a cliff on his motorbicycle, "put a new ink cartridge in my pen". I noticed that one version changed that phrase - nobody knew what he was on about!

The reason there are 2 pictures is that it gives you a good excuse to have a real hard look (to check for differences)  without incurring (much)  wrath from the other half.

Incidently, does anyone know how to fix stuffups when you accidently put 2 pictures on the same post?

There is a story going around about a tradesman who was putting the finishing touches to a WC in a country town Police Station - including the paper holder. As he inspected the job, he realised, it being a longer than usual cubicle, there was no point in mounting it on the door as it would be impossible to reach. He returned to his vehicle to exchange the timber fastenings for masonry drills and other gear needed to complete the job - only to discover his car had been booked. It got mounted on the door.

2 of my favourite quotes.

"If you were my husband I would poison your tea"

"Madam, if I were your husband I would drink it"

and ....

"Traditionally, most of our imports come from overseas"

Terramungamine was the name of a very large property in this area, the last scrap of it was adjoining our place. The owner, a local all-round Good Bloke (really!), Max Walters, advised me NOT to use Terramungamine in my address, as we shared the surname he would get our bills. Well, Max got older and moved on, then unfortunately passed on. Shortly after, the Geographical Names Board decided to put a name on every second paddock, and we now reside in Terramungamine. Without having to move. With the Coolbaggie Dry Creek marked on the map but not otherwise in evidence. Mind you, have just checked our rain gauge, it has 2mm in it!

I don't u[ATTACH]50208._xfImport[/ATTACH]nderstand what you are on about, OME. Now, I find it frustrating when checking the price of hairbrushes.

Phil, you keep on blowying us away.

I wood have thought it wood be treemendus!

Mary had a little lamb. The midwife was surprised.

But when McDonald had a farm, she couldn't believe her eyes!

Peter, to err is human, but to really stuff it up use a computer.

Did the dog lick it up, or just take one sniff and move on?

Nev, I am horrified! You struggled (with Octave hard at your heels) to bring some decorum and facts back to this thread after my feeble attempts to make fun of it, and then you pour disdain on the best 4 wheel drive in the world! I can see that Marty and I will have to give you a severe talking-to!

Yours insincerely

And, on a more relevant topic, my brother had a bottle of plonk rouge which he claimed was some highly sought-after drop, but he left it for 25 years in my shed which is non-insulated and in Dubbo, so when I finally dug out what I think was the appropriate bottle, the label had disappeared and the contents had diminished more than somewhat. The moral being, if you like the stuff (I don't, but won't deny others their pleasure), drink and enjoy it before it deteriorates!
