Thanks Bill, It was clearly a "big thing". I just can't connect the dots between "good politician" and people being upset enough to cry. I fear it is the fact that while we are forced to vote in Australia, most do not trust anyone in politics and therefore feel that we must try a...

Sorry, double post.

I hate Windows 8 and PHP forums.

Can't you all see me climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a parrot for a skid lid?







Yes, I do work at the Bridge.

I suppose I grew up in a different era, a different culture and I am naturally quite cynical, but I don't see how the death of a politician could cause so much grieving. I just simply don't get it. Politicians are no more (or less) than just another person. (Sadly, my opinion of the character of all...

I wasn't anywhere...

Geez you lot are old!



*Runs for cover*

What I think is really happening....

Sorry Bill,

MOP = Member of the Public.

(I have to stop using jargon)

Oh and BTW Member of Parliament is usually shortened to MP, or "that lying, thieving, no good son of a b....."

I gather some of the folk here are LEO's or ex-LEO's some you would probably agree with this statement: "There are some real whacko's out there". To paint the picture, here in Sydney, today is a day of Severe to Extreme Fire Danger and we have a few fires running. Near where I live is a st...

Yes. And WHY anyone would request such crap as Cheeseburger In Paradise, Fins, etc., is a mystery to me. That is simple. It is because that is what the vast majority of his fans want to hear. Why does he play them over and over? Because it brings in the crowds. They pay good money to hear exactly t...

Do they have radio on the internet now?

Isn't technology grand?

I wish I didn't live in a technological backwater where data costs a fortune...

Thanks.

We intend to do just that.

It's just a pity we can't have a "Bush Fire Party" to wait it out - In a similar vein t the famous Key West Hurricane Parties...

Hi Rabbitz, left Port Macquarie last Sunday morning and the fires chased me all the way down the Hume back home to Albury. I lived in Myrtleford when the 2009 fires tore through the area, scariest time of my life. Looks like it's going to be another one of those summers. Hang in there, keep the ABC...

As some of you may know we are having a little bit of fire trouble here in Sydney ATM. (An interesting view from the mighty BBC - http://t.co/0u7j6gLKo4 ) So the concert broadcast this afternoon was a welcome diversion from checking and rechecking Fire Brigade websites and making sure (again) that t...

Well as one who has spent an inordinate number of years and an incalculable number of hours wandering around backstage at large and small venues, I do not, for one minute, believe he goes bare foot except during the performance. I also find it hard to believe that he does so during the concert unles...

Hi Bill, Interestingly here in Oz, well New South Wales at least. there has been the same decay but over the last five years some of the freight lines are being expanded, hopefully it augers well for the future. Sadly last weekend I was at a cattle show next to one of the decayed lines - completely ...

Looking for ideas for a Nat Geo Your Shot Assignment.

"Explore Our Changing World"

It is a pretty wide brief. Can be local, global or anything in between.

Looking for left field but doable ideas.

The pages and clerks must be tweeting.Congressmen are tech challenged(based on one retired congressman I know.) "Tech Challenged" doesn't appear to be the only thing they are "challenged" by. How about these for size: Common Sense Democracy Honesty Fair Representation Sincerity ...

Or have you all shutdown?
