Completely understood. Nor mine defending Darwin during the bombings. Nor other family in Tobruk and NG. The "relish" comment is completely out of context for those situations, but perhaps apt for a hypothetical successful invasion of Australia that I was referring to.

Ok

Your whole post puts a different slant on how a number of Australians would view global affairs. That only a few have/had experienced a direct attack on this land (speaking for the last 80 odd years only) may be the reason for this. Travel broadens the mind a little bit, but not so expansively...

Well articulated

I hope not. If you read with an open mind, there can be much to learn from the Pomgolean's, at times complex, and in the main, generally science based tributes (not jeremiads) to health measures that one could consider.

Yep I agree. Was also wondering if the bloke got cut up by her frontal nose ring spikes after such a vigorous pash session.🤣

Only drinks I buy these days is 1/2 priced sugar free electrolytes and in summer the occasional Bundaberg Sars. Yeah, expensive, but I do love the taste. Years ago when more dohrayme coming in I gave a bottle to an Indian bloke. Fella near did backflips saying he could not believe how good it...

"a series of devastating injuries, including five ACL ruptures." Near give out some sort of a medal just for getting back in the saddle, or just off it at least, after all that. What is that, perseverance, will to win, dedication, desire for pain, win at all costs. Probably at least 4 of those...

TBH, it was the best game in town in the 60's. What goes around comes around. Not much here to worry about these days. I'm good and positive my darling girl isn't interested in others.

The thing that makes me curious about the article is why are the levels in Queensland so high? I found this in an article by Harriet Grayson and posted on Medical Republic on 31/7/24. Note that the YTD figure for Qld is 42626 putting it behind NSW and Vic in the YTD stakes. (recorded earlier in...

Correctamundo! For me, this is the salient message out of the whole article. This is the take-away I do from reading it, all one has to do is get past some of the sensationalising that goes with a lot of articles written anywhere. From the article ‘We know that the vaccine is not perfect. It...

Reasonably certain you are referring to Robert Kennedy Jr. Here's what his family had to say about your poster boy. Whether what they said is right, wrong or indifferent, it does take a fair bit to make a family turn on a high profile member in this way. That suggests to me I should be very wary...

Yes. The point here, I think, is that those who wish to self-promote their own personal or financial interests via msm or social media give up (excluding honesty in journalism) a lot of the grey area codes that journalists are only loosely tied to. So for celebrities, public figures and the less...

Sorry ladies, can't say I've ever had to 'face' that problem

I reckon that if new and brilliant things are going to be produced for packaging, then scientists should have to invent or prove that such a product can be re-cycled. Others would then need to prove that it is able to be (after use) transported to a recycling centre in a cost capable sense. Same...

You've sparked my interest there Veggiepatch, I'd not heard of that term before. Turns out I have learnt that it's difficult to re-cycle the thermoset types of polymer because it is irreversibly hardened (cured) by using heat or suitable radiation or high pressure or mixing with a catalyst...

I don't see it as trying to scare people. To me it's merely informing those who wish to keep up with health issues of what's happening around the place. This, along with reminders of symptons and how best to protect oneself is to me a sensible and responsible thing to be doing. On the...

I agree, I have 2 that are stepg'kids. One has Autism and one Adhd. Yes for sure in new situations they are seemingly on best behaviour esp in someone else's house. But, from experience, boy o boy they're a genuine challenge to anyone's mental stability.

From another perspective, which maybe right or wrong or indifferent to others, I do wonder if Avril Moore's story is because she is a writer as well as someone who lectures others and especially with the first listed job, is it that which leads her to make such statements. Is she really just...

I remember 'free' stuff that was probably encompassed within the banner of an overarching cost like council rates. Nothing that was for free is sustainable in todays world. Nothing free about free enterprise, but it's what we have and need to deal with. The cost of convenience is very high as...
