  1. Humid. Still rains (or tries to) sometimes literally for no more than a minute. Nights are getting quite cool now. If only my firewood and kindling were dry enough to use - and skies were clear on the right weekend nights.... Can't do anything worth doing in this shit weather.
  2. That sounds fascinating, got any references to good short vid's or info on it?
  3. Absolutely! The world he creates is endlessly fascinating.
  4. Hate speech policy. So if that has a price, then what?
  5. Findley has crazy skills. Is there a Rock cover that has Giger? Surely none would dare....
  6. Definitely also in the running for strongest ever. Far Kernel.
  7. Mate, if you are 50+ I recommend you find a better practitioner and do the recommended checks. There is a damn good reason for them. Bowel cancer is one of the absolute worst. I'm not looking forward to my next one, but I sure as hell ain't going to risk not picking something up that likely will turn into literally my worst nightmare. My Grandfather died from it when I was quite young. I vaguely remember seeing him once in hospital. Thankfully my strongest memory of him was dressed dapper and telling funny stories to us. Congrats on getting hitched.
  8. Petrol now 2 bucks a litre. near on $110 to fill my Mazda 6. News says it could go to 3 bucks a litre.
  9. That's fucked up, sorry to hear CPman. I had my own horror story from my last colonoscopy. Felt like they used a freakin' IMax camera! I was cactus for a week, couldn't sit. Very painful.
  10. back to more rain. News says more storms and floods coming. 2 years ago the entire country was on fire, now we are under water. Fucks sake....
  11. Summer is here pretending it was here all along. Fuck you summer!!!! You're at least 3 months late!
  12. It's as high as it's ever been here, but has been for about 2 months, so maybe about to skyrocket. WFH helps a GREAT deal, and wifey works 10mins away, so not too bad. I saw a clip today that showed every POTUS back to and including Nixon giving the "We must end our dependence on foreign oil!" speech. Seems it has just been too damn hard up to now. Why even fucking say it?!?!?!
  13. Great analysis from this group who I have been watching (their usual youtube geo-political bites) for a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPZsas53QeU
  14. That has to be a contender for strongest song ever. Bonzo and Jimmy especially. The quality of that recording is spectacular.
  15. Floods. Almost as bad as the 2011 one. Couldn't get #1 son off to work as just too many road closures including the main motorway. Poor buggers at Goodna once again lose everything. At least the rain has stopped. First time in 3 days it isn't raining. Oh and the potholes. maaaaaaaan, some are deep enough to kill a poor unsuspecting car.
  16. It's hard to believe Kyiv can hold out for too long unfortunately. If it keeps looking like a shitshow for the Russians and they are getting bogged down beyond what old Vlad accepts, I don't doubt he will give the order to take the gloves off and go hard even against the civilians. Any pretext of fighting the armed forces only will be out the window. Which is also when the unrestrained bombing campaign will begin. Cities will become rubble. Putin will not have a single fuck to give and blame the west.
  17. Rain and floods. There have been two warnings about dam releases tomorrow for our area. Even though I am on high ground, a few suburbs here may well flood hard. Roads are pot-holed, partially flooded hellscapes at present.
  18. RAIN. Will it ever stop? 400mm on the sunny coast yesterday/last night with fatalities and missing people (woman attempted to drive through flood waters, mistake). 300mm now predicted for the Gold Coast with Brissie to cop flash flooding as well. So the summer of 21/22 here never showed up, replaced by almost non stop cloud/rain/storms. My work mates in Sydney have also copped flooding overnight. Seems the east coast of AU is a shitshow of rain and floods. I hope you get a decent summer soon Chilli and others in the old country...
