  1. I'm gettng sick and tired of having to pay homage to a Nation whose attitudes towards its people are so opposite to those held by Nations considered to be civilised.
  2. You missed the point of my gripe. All I was griping about was the scarcity of conveniently-sized containers of chocolate flavoured milk in comparison to the plethora of similarly-sized containers of other flavours.
  3. I seem to recall some mention of Concorde needing shielding from solar radiation.
  4. Assassination is the willful killing, by a sudden or secret attack, of a person—especially if prominent or important. It may be prompted by political, ideological, religious, financial, or military motives. It appears that Kirk fits the definition as he definitely was a prominent person in the USA who expressed ideological ideas.
  5. Because I'm not at home. I'm in a supermarket, doing grocery shopping after which I will be getting in my car to drive for an hour to get home. I want to have something to drink while I'm driving home. I don't drink soft drinks or fruit juices, and I don't like coffee flavoured milk drinks.
  6. It's not the conveying of the liquid that is the problem. My gripe is quite simply that supermarkets don't carry sufficient stock of chocolate milk in containers the same size as those containing a wide variety of coffee; strawberry or malted flavours.
  7. I am not anti Jew. I am anti an allegedly civilised government that engages in the tactics that the government of Israel is employing. What is the difference between what the Nazi government of Germany did to its citizens it did not like, and what the Israeli government is doing to its citizens.
  8. I doubt if requiring the payment of a fee to process an FOI application is such an onerous thing. You have to pay to access a records like birth, mariage and death certificates. Even the act of registering a motor motor vehicle requires the payment of an administration fee. Are you happy to pay the wages of the public servant who does the work answering my FOI request which has no relevance to you? It is true that very many FOI requests are fishing expeditions which fail to land anything worthwhile. Those are the ones which tie up staff and delay the provision of worthwhile information to the public. The question is - who are teh people/organisation who are making all these FOI requests. How many are made in an attempt to gain political ammunition?
  9. It's not the holding of the liquid that is the problem. It's the obtaining of it in a desireable volume, in a suitable container.
  10. Why can't the political party of Netinyahu be declared a terrorist organisation?
  11. Haven't heard much of him for a few months. A flash in the pan???
  12. My gripe is that supermarkets don't stock bottles of chocolate milk in drink-sized containers. You can get any quantity of varieties of coffee or strawberry flavours, but the chocolate milk is always sold out. It's no use my buying a carton because I like to drink the milk on my one-hour drive home from a shopping trip into my nearest big town. You can't drink out of a carton while driving.
  13. Gotta love Melbourne! Machette-armed gangs and driverless cars. And that's just the government.
  14. As a former Sydney-sider, I can't recognise the backgrounds in most of the images in this AI-created video. Also, the AI-generated voice-over mispronounces 'barramundi' and the suburb name, 'Cabramatta'.
  15. 1984 is a reference to Orwell's novel and follows on from nomadpete's it needs denial of reality.
