  1. Best way to find your way around a new City that is. . .and I only got threatened with rape, guns or knives three times in in a whole year ! . . .those were the halcyon days of civility mate. . . .

    Tell us more about the threat of "Rape"...was he a good looking guy?

     

     

  2. The main issue that I see is; our govt has cowtowed to foreign countries and dropped all import tariffs to achieve a 'level playing field' This is called "politicians sucking up to other countries to try and set themselves up for an ambassadorship" (see Tony Abbot)

     

    The problem with that is....we are the only ones on that playing field

     

    No other country has no import tariffs

     

    Fifty years ago, Australia had a very strong manufacturing base, and if we had closed the doors to Australia, we would have survived quite easily.

     

    Unfortunately we voted the Labor Party into power and it has a been a downhill slide since then

     

    The Labor Party is based in communism and is controlled by the Fabien Society which has as its doctrine that ALL people should be dependent on the government for their survival. the only way to do this is to put everyone on the dole/pension and then you have the ideal communist state.

     

    Have a look at the economic history of the major western countries. Every time labor is in power, the economy is run down into deficit. It then takes a a liberal or conservative govt to pull it out of the poo. The only time labor is any good is in wartime, they can marshal the workforce

     

    My response to all this is....stop selling our raw materials to overseas and value add to them here thus increasing our manufacturing base and making us a strong nation again

     

    Countries such as China and Japan have only grown rich because we were stupid enough to sell our raw materials to them. They processed the raw material and sold the finished product back to us at highly inflated prices

     

    End of rant......

     

     

  3. Now I know why Poms are whingers. It's not really the weather. After all, it is winter up here, and it's not too cold. I really don't have to rug up to go outside. Today I am wearing the same clothes that I wear to work at Camden in winter.

    Their problem is a distinct lack of good spirits, and I don't mean whisky and gin. I reckon that there is more Christmas spirit in the Lakemba Mosque than what's around here. I've been to a few shopping centres and town centres and there is hardly any seasonal decoration. I've driven through miles of residential areas and haven't seen any houses decorated with lights and such as we have started to do. The best I've seen consist of one or two desultory strings of icicle lights.

     

    What is it? Fear of the end of the world?

     

    OME

    Stop driving around and go into a local pub

     

    Thats where all the socialising and seasonal celebrations are held

     

    Not the chain pubs, but the locals

     

    There is a different lifestyle there. We go to a pub to drink, they go to a pub to socialise

     

    Try it

     

    Cheers

  4. You really need to refer to what we once new as Icecream in the past tense... Ask yourself what has changed in the ingreadient section on your icecream in the last 25 years? Ironically it is made of milk... just try reading the label on that!

    Dont you mean "supposed" to be made of milk

     

    I think modern icecream is totally chemically produced
