My car keys.
I can't find them anywhere.

You're bursting my bubble David, here I am hoping I live in a civilised world and you come along with reality!

Jesus Guns and Babies.... of course, that makes perfect senseness.

Whiskey Tango and Foxtrot.

Has anyone mentioned building wooden boats?
You go outside and meet normal people (go on try it) .... and tell them your hobby is making wooden boats.

Is conversation stopper a guide?

I have...

yes indeed. I mean i get it - but is it theoretical or is there data?



And is that what we want? Its not like we're running out of land, its just everything is built in the wrong places.

Most Australians voted against him.
Most western countries did. Interesting axis, across north Africa, and straight up through France to Norway.... A pattern? Muslim populations?

Lawyers are not inherently bad. It's silly to suggest that. The legal system is not to protect the rich. You're thinking of the tax system.

The Law is a language. Anyone who has ever had to make a...

An atom walks into a bar feeling very down.
Barman asks if he's okay.
The atom says 'no, i lost an electron'.
Tha barman says, 'you sure?'
Atom replies, 'yeah, I'm positive'.

Weasel Words, as old as politics itself.
Possibly even the definition of politics really.

12 months away even more likely.
Or winter freeze 2023...?

I'm playing armchair general here and not reveling in it. The logic of attacking now, when you know you will be waaaay stronger in the...

Plus it is so utterly outside the pattern.

Ukraine has been very judicious about its targets over the last year, getting maximum value by targeting military resources. It simply doesn't fit the...

That International Canoe looks impossible!

More power to his elbow!

Just putting out a thought; Ukraine won't counter attack until they have the F-16's and M1's in country.

Billy Brag, 'This isn't a court of justice son, this is a court of law'.

I'd give the same advice I try to give myself right now; aim higher.
I still don't listen.

I often wonder was it a good decision to have kids.
I think I'd have had, would have, far more fun and...

Is the Supreme Court too powerful?
It looks to me like the political system that has the power to keep it in check, is broken.

Consensus is impossible in the US, managing the SCOTUS requires a...

Risking his life and those who may have to rescue him....
Thats pretty much any offshore sailing, no?

He doesn't look mentally prepared, nor was his vessel prepared. How can a transatlantic...

That is terrific.
What are the rules? How do you win?

First to cut the cheese?

Father in law is a Canberra barrister. Touch of narcissist in that one.
I heard it was so cold in Canberra the other day that lawyers were seen with their hands in their own pockets.

We love him...

407 first.
410 never gets stiff enough to just stay put!

Do you intend to finish it to the sailing rig you show?
If not, how do you think you'll use it?

Or is it a project for its own sake?

There's a bit of work to get it to good - but i think it...

Better off using good ply - construction ply just drinks epoxy in my experience. Ends up being more expensive and time consuming.

How big a boat?
Is this a sole as in for a yacht? Or something in...

Am i reading that wrong?

Yes, on mature reflection, ejector seat buttons are always in the gear stick...

Ejector seat, or oil spill?

Erdogan won and gracious as expected;



Why are these 'hard men' such nasty POS's?
...

Oh wow, that is something.
OMG.

You take a perfectly good yacht, pop off the keel. attach the mast to the keel and sail it to America.

Oh, and paste your food onto the interior..... (ceiling food?)

Where's the flaw?

Student debt, and the promise of a lifetime tethered to it will erode the competitiveness of the USA.
As long as only the wealthy can get educated then, only the wealthy will be educated. The...

Absolutely.

As the Russians flee their positions; 'Don't panic!! Don't panic!!!"

This could be a different kind of war in that respect.
Were there other hot wars where the out come was simply to push the enemy back to its borders, but very much militarily in tatters and its...

You make a good point Edward.

it's kind of begs the question why would Ukraine counter attack? Perhaps to prevent the war stalemating..?
I suppose Russia will only be as depleted as you say if it...

10 year term limits?

If a code of ethics is adopted, do you need a substitute to tag in to keep the odd number, if someone has to remove themselves?

Yes!
We had 'packet and tripe' boiled in milk. Dear sweet Jeebus it was disgusting.

There's some voices here that disappeared around Covid madness time. 'Do you think' some may have succumbed?

Lotta weight on a gnarly surface. Eeek!

Having worked in live performance for nearly 20 years, touring pretty much everything. That there, repaired, is one of the biggest causes of show stoppers ever!

Replace it.

It will never be...

Indeed.
All the tech and it boils down to lobbing metal at each other.
Just an old fashioned war.

Being on the outside and having no skin in the polling game i feel i have some objectivity.

Trump being an A-hole was well demonstrated before 2016. Every layer of the onion peeled back since only...

Utter BS

That Lithuania or Poland or Finland wants to defend themselves is not a fabrication of the USA but a fabrication of Russia. Russia surrounded itself with NATO.
Now Russia has invaded a...

The Scotus is a political tool. Ideally it wouldn't be, but the selection process guarantees it. Weighing in unsolicited into hot button political issues that throw those issues into free fall isn't...

Thanks George, so that's what the new normal looks like? Boosters and 'just wear the bloody mask mate!'.
Light on compared to the pandemic.

Sheeet, remember that. Like some bizarre dream.

Terrific result.

As a thought experiment, it would be fascinating for Trump to have the capacity to pardon him. What would that look like?
He'd be compelled to, but, pardoning someone found so...

I think he's talking about his penis and his imminent, ahem, liaison with Kim Jong Un.

WTF or OMG!

A thing that's kind of invisible to most people around the world, and even to Australians, is how much Australians worship and obey rules.

Frikkin hypocrites.
