You should buy this and go sailing, Chris:

There's a fleet of Taipans here. They seem nice to me although I haven't sailed one.

We can just send our waste to Christmas Is, Nauru and Manus. The Poms can send theirs to Rwanda, or Wales.

An increasing but already vast part of the world has enough sun and wind to power the world. New technologies are emerging that allow this energy to be converted to portable fuel without poisoning a...

Wot LW said - all of it!! (except we have no half bath (whatever that is).

Great job Andy!

Someone we know? Someone "we" have offended? Kiwi, Aus, Hamerican, Canardigan, Pom?

I hate signs, painted rocks etc., too but I've become a big fan of formed pathways through popular areas.

Yep, traps are good but only feasible to install on a main track. So if people can be directed onto a main track, then you can maintain that track and prevent erosion. But if you have a cobweb of...

It's just the way we do things in Australia's most corrupt state

It's like American Football ( based on my little knowledge of it). Everyone can see exactly what's happened because it's played and replayed to death on TV. Yet more time is spent with team officials...

I hope you're right, Jim! And I sincerely admire your optimism.

Always disappointing but a necessary evil in popular areas. Tracks get deeper and then erosion turns them into whole new waterways. Trails become networks of trails and then networks of erosion...

No. The idea that Americans, as in, the public, will be outraged enough, on either side, is ridiculous. As always, everyone'll sit back, tut-tutting, and essentially do nothing. A few fanatics on the...

We used to have a rooster that would launch into a full crow but never finish it with the final "dooooooo". That's what all these US politico/legal machinations remind me of. Like baking a cake and...

Reminds me of an infamous moment in cricket commentary, West Indies vs England: "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey". Google it.

It seems to me that the Congress really has little authority at all beyond approving money bills and approving some judges. Most Americans are sick of their kids being slaughtered but Congress can't...

I didn't think it was THAT bad!!

Only kidding, beautiful, as is the Burns documentary. Thanks!!

Thanks Tom, that's actually a really good idea. We do have a trip planned for early next year and we'll be asking friends to stay here with the dog. We also have a MIL who lives with us ; we're the...

They probably don't supply sitters here.

Five fully grown ones were also discovered in the US Supreme Court so it's quite a coincidence!

More efficient here. I achieved that form of anchorage with just one little dog!

Didn't Julie Andrews sing a song about them?

As JB and Pete mention, bitumous shingles are almost never used here. Corrugated steel has been used here forever, along with cement or terracotta...

Them's fightin' words!!

I'd spend about 15% on finishing some boat work, getting a new EV, getting off the grid and a bit of furniture. The rest I'd spend on land for preservation of wildlife and...

In theory, Congress makes the law and the SC interprets it. In practice, the Congress does SFA while the SC pretends to interpret.

The US political system has been usurped by the MIC and is now...

Joni Ladies of the Canyon

A walk on a winter's day but only some of the leaves are brown, there surely ain't no churches or preachers and at this time of year I just wouldn't want to be anywhere else

Until I read that article, I didn't realise that screw caps were more common on NZ and Aus wines. I thought they were just as common elsewhere but it seems that's not so.

That's the thing about mamas, and papas.

Emptying it or inflating it?

Doesn't the spaghetti go al dente fairly quickly or do you just work very quickly?

Their system is ahead of ours by leaps and bounds!

They should give Chump immunity. Stick him in gaol with a bottle of hydroxychloro stuff.

We need no further evidence that you are, indeed, not a wine snob Rich! :)

Thank you, verdelho!

Thought I should claret up.

And while we're at it, I have a mob of kangaroos right here voicing their complaint about ongoing and derogatory references to their courting. They state that it's entirely unfair as their courting...

And one-eyed too!

Yes, the plastic bladder has become much cheaper to produce so the economics have improved.

The term 'must' gets a lot of use in these US political threads but we don't see a lot of 'dids'. I just wonder whether 'must' has any meaning at all anymore over there! I mean, we just saw nearly...

They want to hide under their quilt.

Excellent idea!

How small, Chris? And do you have a particular lake in mind?

Hi Chris, you no longer have the cruiser?

Extracting the seat would require surgery. Unpleasant job.

Home of the brave.

I simply listed the albums that I wore out on my record player.

I can't remember who drew that. Nice memory though!

I think I still have The Happiest Little Engine somewhere.
