I'd sack the bride!

Alas but blokes who fall in love are usually very foolish and their dream-girl can do no wrong. Until the divorce kicks in the late 30s-early 40sand the bloke expects fair treatment from his quondam dream-girl.

:love::love::love: Actually my BMW 650 boxer has a number that shines brightly on the speedo or rev counter to tell me what gear I am in. It is very useful when I accelerate rapidly in 2nd and drop the gear into !st which tends to try to make the rear wheel lock up (happens even more easily on...

That would suggest that we take pre-emptive care when buying second-hand clothing from op-shops, and that op-shop workers should be advised about the potential risk of handling second hand clothes. Of course, government is far too polite to demand/impose an Australia-wide vaccination programme...

Thank you for the information. It doesn't surprise me that cloth materials can import monkeypox. It is a cousin of smallpox and the provision of smallpox-raddled clothing and blankets proved to be a useful way of knocking off local indigenes when we wanted their lands. Australian Customs and...

Goodness gracious me, but I don't know about that. My grandfather lived there, his brother died there in I believe 1919 and my father was born there.

I know four 'foreign' doctors who are top quality. Thank God for immigrants to Australia, or their immigrant parents, who value education.

I read in about 1973, in an NZ newspaper, that some homeless hobo (English : tramp) had got extremely badly burned over much of his body. He was conveyed to 33 hospitals and was rejected because he was poor (broke) before being accepted by the 34th, where he died on admission. Health-care USA...

"....when we have to pay to see a specialist for instance you get most of that money back,...." A little under half back via Medicare, if lucky. It can depend very much on the individual specialist.

......the tellers initial review of the emails was insufficient......My take; that teller was lazy with giving casual advice and pig-ignorant and failed utterly in his/her duty of care and therefore Suncorp, the employer, is liable. But one cannot trust Bank tellers. That's how I lost my...

Absolutely correct.

Now about bank tellers. One of my cheques was "reversed" recently. I went to the bank to ask why and was told the money had been put back into my account. I then telephoned the "provider" to ask why it had put my money, to pay a due bill,back into my account. I was told that the "provider's"...

You will here a lot of self-righteous people on this site telling you that you should be more careful etcetc. I too am disillusioned at humanity; I no longer believe it exists. Just a dog-eat-dog global civilisation that prefers to vote for psychopaths.

A pity that stupidity is the most underwhelming attribute of those who seek political status.
