Annual (or thereabouts) whinge that the national team in the only sport that's truly loved in all parts of Australia is playing a game right now, and you can only watch it on a Murdoch outlet.
Fortunately, you can still listen to it on the radio because we still have a publicly owned broadcaster. Thank you ABC!
I agree, but only wonder what would happen to small marsupials already under pressure from the ferals in places far south of where the cane toads have made it to so far. If the thylacines go after them, too, that's just added pressure in the short/medium term before they figure out that foxes can be yummy too and develop a method of catching them.
Natural pest control has long been a dream here, and it would be great! Very difficult to get right, tho.
The cane toads themselves were introduced with the idea that they'd control beetles in the sugar cane, but that didn't go so well 😬
If they could somehow manage to program them genetically to only prey on feral animals like rabbits, foxes, and cats, they'd be excellent.
Those are noice!
As I understand it, the VAT in the EU bloc varies by country, and it's a flat rate, but countries can choose to charge a reduced rate for certain special goods that they specifically list (eg. feminine hygiene products, etc.). Don't think instruments qualify for a reduced rate anywhere, but they may 🤷♂️
So sad.
As a lad, I knew a man who lied about his age to join. He was 14 and looked it, but the recruiter took him and sent him to the Navy.
He jumped ship in England, joined the Army, and proceeded to experience horrors that he found difficult to discuss, but he left hints that we can follow now.
He told a story about meeting a German his own age when he was trying to get back to his unit in a forest, and they ate some food together before going back to the fight.
Almost mean to include Jamie in this, TBH. I'm with Uncle Roger on the Jamie Issue.
Adam and TinEats, on the other hand, never fail:
Yeah. He was quite the fellow.
I'm old enough to have known some guys who were at The Somme and the other carnage.
They never, ever wanted to talk about it, so we need to use their letters and reports as historical sources now.
My own step-grandpa served there. I have his records, thanks to the Canadian War Project.
I can imagine him signing on just after Christmas 1915 and being so nervous that he misspelled his name.
She pulls the faders totally off, which I can deal with, but she sometimes sets off automation recording because the warm power bit is up that way, and she sits on the required buttons to warm her bumhole 🤷♂️
Thank you! It's a bit overdramatised, as Peter Fitz tends to do, but I don't mind that because we need to feel what those blokes did.

😂 Thing is, Lorne's Canadian, so he might enjoy retreating to the (so far, but maybe not so) sane land.
Sketch shows are always hit & miss, but they used to have a pretty good sketch show there:
Could be. They do seem to be using 'The Handmaid's Tale' as an instruction manual 🤷♂️
This is the newspaper article, but there might be a paywall 🤷♂️
I was just reading the paper, and they mentioned this bloke, Albert Jacka VC, MC & Bar, who fought at Gallipoli and on the Western Front in WWI.
I read about him in a university course on the history of Australians at war. He was quite a bloke, so I thought I'd share in case anyone's interested in military history:
Mine's actually the wrong rally, but it does have Bon Jovi 😂
