Thought that could happen. But, works out well, am having 4 skin cancers cut out next month. Might be a bit sore.

Just remembered that I owe you a coffee/drink next month for the calendar.

He comes from the shallower end of the gene pool.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

You can drive all the way around Australia, criss-cross your any way you like. You will find abundant EV chargers to help you on your way. Have read of one family caravanning with EV SUV. They use solar panels to recharge when camping in isolated areas. Two days tops, and off they go again.

Looks like he is using Efudix cream.

Having to stop every two hours is standard safety practice for any driver. Whingeing about having to wait, have they ever had to wait at petrol/diesel pumps before?

I am 3 1/2 years from retirement, my dream is that Aussie round trip. The most advanced EV 4WD is only 1 mode off being ready to go.

‘Popesplaining’ Vance out of depth in argument over whether Iran is a just war Trump administration has riled head of Catholic church over use of theology to justify conflict in Iran

But, they are always the victim.

BREAKING: Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf tells Lebanese counterpart Nabih Berri that Tehran is pushing for a permanent ceasefire “in all conflict zones” and that a ceasefire in Lebanon is “just as important” as in Iran, according to a statement on Telegram.

It's a term I use when looking after patients in hospital. Those people who when they were younger and agile, we would have called tall, I now call them long.

Check the cat for keys. 😂

The major problem seems to lie with the God of Abraham. It created three religions which have always had difficulty getting along, despite that one thing in common.

Perhaps it was a dream.

Which cat did you put outside? Was it your's?

FMD! I'm a wardsman, and even I could tell the difference.

How The Babadook inspired the 'scariest movie you'll ever hear' Filmed in director Ian Tuason's childhood home and based on his own experiences caring for his dying parents, Undertone has become a sleeper hit.

@dannyrobins.bsky.social if inspired by The Babadook, have to see this, what do you reckon?

We should be more concerned about the tax bludgers.
