Do you have shares of companies/funds that invest in Lithium? I think it's very risky putting all your eggs in one basket. Mining companies, and no, I don't put all my eggs in one basket. This was just fun to ride Mining companies have been gaining in the last few weeks. I own shares of Glencore an...

How is asbestos being allowed to end up in playground mulch with no repercussions? Pretty sad state of affairs. What do you mean no repercussions? The investigation is ongoing by the NSW EPA. Yep, there will be serious repercussions. At a minimum, people will lose jobs, and if it's found that peopl...

I love war and westerns of this era. Seen a bunch. You just have to get used to the depiction of 'indians' as primitive and dim. Its a downward spiral on cultivating racism. Here are a few westerns. I've started with the must-see classics then gone by actor rather than director. And I'm purposefull...

I think Higgins was raped. That makes her the subject of an antisocial and criminal act. It also says nothing about her as a person, for good or for ill. OTOH, being a LP staffer says enough to me. I wasn't casting dispersions at you ;) The mouth-breathers who claim she is just a grifter on the oth...

They all just can't help themselves... The scale and scope of arsholery on show is deeply impressive. That said, the whole shebang doesn't exactly compel my attention since it's merely more proof that shitheads gotta shithead. It doesn't help that Higgins and Lehrmann a pair of pasty pig-eyed paras...

Thanks, guys, for the kind words, mingled with the sort of humour and disrespect I expect from a bunch of rugby buggers. Luckily, parking is free at the hospital. I am not sure if I will join the high school kids for touch rugby but it is something to keep as a sort of target. It is amazing that yo...

I was looking at the Ukrainian attack on the Shaheed drones plant in Tatarstan. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68712158 What is amazing is the drone the Ukrainians were using was not some type of super technology, but a simple tourist aircraft (A22 Foxbat) turned into a bomb that the Russian...

Wine Wednesday. Even if I don't drink any other day, wine Wednesday breaks the week up a treat. I have met with my friends every Wednesday evening for a few pints down my local for 20 years. It breaks the week up, and also ensures that I keep in touch with my small circle of closest friends. We als...

Channel 7 really has jumped into bed with some genuine c**ts in recent time. First Ben Roberts Smith and now Bruce Lehrmann. Paying for hookers for a man who at the time was in court accused of rape doesn't look good. Surely the only career path left for Lehrmann is to work for Sky News? The funny ...

The Police in NSW are a little bit 1950s still Corruption was rampant back then, everywhere you looked. Illegal casinos, SP betting, sly grog shops (we had 6 pm closing). The cops were the worst of the lot. I looked into joining the AFP and NSWPS. Let's just say, I wouldn't b a good fit for them

Does anyone else feel that this was a somewhat rushed and poorly delivered ticket release to tide up the coffers and stop Rugby AU from going under?

True. Fúcking up largish elements of a blue water navy still costs a silly sum, but how it can be done is known. And still costs much less than replacement costs for the targeted side. Yes and no.
