The Random thought thread

We have had a similar system implemented in the UK for a few years now (can't even remember how long). I recall an alarm going off on my phone I don't recall too much fanfare in the lead up to it to be honest. 

 

I found it quite amusing how the press were making a big deal about in in Australia... There were some issuing health warnings about it, Of course,, I didn't get it while back here, but I guess it was a not much in the press period.

I was at the Men's Shed and 5 or  6 phones all went off at the same time. Different alarm sounds.

I was working from home, my phone didn't get the alarm.

No one I know Mentioned it. Men's shed tomorrow. I'll ask there.  They did something like this over 20 years ago. I was randomly selected to be on the group in the MT Macedon area that formulated various aspects of it.  The idea has Merit.. I support the idea of doing such things. It's acting responsibly.  Nev.

How many songs do you know? I think I know thousand of tunes and lyrics. Not as a performer, just to sing along with the radio. For example, I must know half of the top fifty between 1950 and 1980. That is 40 years of 25 songs, 1000 just there.

I know a lot of tunes when I hear them but can only ever remember the odd lyric here and there. I’m always amazed how some people can remember every word of dozens or hundreds of songs.

With the excise coming off fuel on Sunday, I topped up my tank this morning. The price was already 10 cents higher than on last Monday. As I was pumping fuel, I watched the price counter change. If the price of fuel keeps going up, the figures in that price counter will be a blur.

Things keep moving faster and faster. I got a call this afternoon saying the tentative date for my cochlear implant surgery is Sept 19.

What is happening in the ME will give a real Impetus to EV sales. People don't want to  be hung out to dry every time someone does silly things with supply.. Nev

Yep. Glad we've got ours. Nice to drive too, although sometimes tries to be a bit smart for its own good.
