We may be the only people who understand how the stabbing guy was also let down by the system. I would like the rich to pay more tax so that younger people were housed better. Spenaroo is quite correct here, old folks places are not what is needed.

And, ome, what is black?  Is it a black woman?

Thanks guys. I am really worried about the mask making it harder to go to sleep. What type is the best?  I notice all styles, from full-face masks to only nose ones.

I'm going in for the test soon and I'd like some advice....  has anybody here ever suffered from sleep apnia? It is also called snoring I think.

Gosh we are bad at taking crazies off the street before they run berserk. I have no good ideas here, on account of how most people, even crazies, ever actually do anything like this.

In the past, they locked people up in "asylums". There is an old one near Ararat " for the criminally insane". Maybe they do need locking up, after all they themselves are protected by this. Any ideas?

I reckon the trinity constitute the very antithesis of democracy and it would be very boring to have to spend each day praising them up. 

A bit like living in north korea and having to spend all your time praising kim jong  un.

Good thing I don't think it at all likely, this live-forever nonsense. Well I guess they lived a thousand years before the idea of democracy entered anybody's head.

Well I'm older than pierce brosnan, at 8 years older. It always intrigued me how he was supposed to be a spy...  just imagine how the best-looking guy in the world would be noticed huh. As in " well there I was on the train and I never saw  better looking bloke but he sat near me.."

social media???

We had a guy from india who landed at wre ( weapons research ) by mistake, but in his case the local gliding field was out of his sight directly below.

No, he didn't get into trouble, unlike the german guy who landed in area 51 in Nevada.

Funny how " the sun is to the south" really influences you. A californian glider pilot, no intellectual slouch himself, was flying out of Gawler, to the north as usual, attracting mirth when he referred to the wedgies as " vultures" when he started flying south, thinking he was still going north! 

Myself, in California, really struggled with north/south for the same reason.

Well argued Jerry. I grew up in a household where the wife tried continually to goad her bloke into hitting her. She never succeeded, but I often wonder if her bloke did the right thing by not hitting.

I was surprised that murders have decreased since the 1990's. They have been going down since the 1790's and they are about the only reliable statistic. All the rest depend on how easy it is to report the event.

 Personally, I don't believe that there is a peaking-out in DV at the moment, but I agree that anything at all is too much.

The problem of the women and kids having to leave the family home and wait for weeks to collect the dole should be fixed with a few pen-strokes. Why not pay the dole etc to the woman?

I sure would like to know more about the bad guy. eg....   was he on bail? was he an immigrant? and more besides

I really hate it how the wants of you and me are ignored by the "pro-immigration " lot. I foolishly hoped that the voice referendum results would be taken more notice of.

In the meantime, I just lament our lack of democracy on the issue. Switzerland has lots of referenda, why not us?

I agree with Nev here. The guy sure missed out on a hundred grand, which was a prize offered once by dick smith for a genuine "paranormal" activity.

Personally, I was shocked by 2 things, firstly the poor quality of the non-entrants ( there were no real entrants because dick smith had engaged a magician guy to debunk the events) and, secondly, I was shocked at how the viewing public got angry at dick for spoiling an illusion they enjoyed.

Once, some friends from California were staying with us and she went off to buy a "tarp" and it took me a long time to figure out that she meant a "top" to go over her jeans etc. I did tell her that in Oz, a tarp is used in the old ute.

No I don't nev....   why is the camel called "the ship of the desert?".

Remember I'm slow.

Not necessarily according to einstein nev. The black hole warps space-time and so light doesn't need any mass to be kept in. No I don't understand it either, but Newton has been proved wrong each time a GPS is used.

Personally, I much prefer Newton stuff as I can understand it a bit.

Here's a "fact" that impressed me....  most people think a sentence is too short, until they become well aware of all the facts of the case and then they think the sentence was too harsh.

But I was intimately part of the Murdoch case, to the extent of being held up a roadblock seeking the perp. All of the facts that I know of just reinforce Murdoch's guilt. 

Did you know that dna from his skin was in her cable-tie bindings? There is lots more evidence than that, and it all points to his guilt.

Personally, I find that the anecdotes about how somebody looking like falconio was seen weeks later to be unconvincing.

the very days of our week are named after norse gods, well tiw's day, wodens day, thors day and freyas day are.  I reckon that freya, being a female, leaves those middle-eastern gods in the dust ( the all male trinity in particular is obvious nonsense)

My thinking has changed since the Ukraine war. These days, I reckon that we can no longer trust the US to protect us and so we are stupid to not have our own nukes.  We could start with some dirty bombs carried by modified Jabirus with no pilots and inertial nav systems. They would be designed to not need GPS stuff and they could fly really low all the way there.

When would they be used?   Never is my hope, but I would not trust Trump or Putin with my life.

In the case of the Falconio murder, I was amazed that the murderer ( a guy called Murdoch ) was not "persuaded" to tell where the body was. He was as guilty as could be imagined, yet he ( so far ) has not told. Now I understand why, but I reckon it's wrong that he should be allowed to not tell.

Yep but my ASX just died near Frances ( look it up). I think it was the new-fangled gearbox that failed.

I got a chinese carport where the roofing was too thin to walk on! But it was legal, I did check that out.

I reckon I never really experienced pain till I got gout from an inflamed bunion. It sounds a lot like an inflamed bursa to me.

The gout is from uric acid in pockets which come out of solution for some reason , and it is quite painful. A bit like shingles, which is painful because it attacks the nerve-endings.

My advice is not to get old.
