Tom Robinson - Solo Rower
(Preview)
Maybe I've missed something but this clown is on a personal quest to beat a world record. He has built his own craft, funds come from a Go-Fund me page and had to be rescued. Now, I am not a genius nor a boat builder, but basic common sense tells me that if one was to venture on such expedition the least that co...

Why is joining the defence force - on the nose?
(Preview)
Is logic too simplistic? Had we not had a defence force we would be talking Japanese- a good possibility. Had USA not had a defence force then that would be a certainty. Yet, often (not always) when a suggestion to join the defence comes with "I dont agree with war" or "it's Govt run and I dont trust the G...

Bouldercombe Tesla storage battery fire QLD.
(Preview)
A Tesla storage battery located in a residential area is still burning while firefighters stand by and wait for it to burn out, massive clouds of noxious smoke and gasses that are fatal to humans in even small doses. My point being that there is no way to control the battery fire unless you fully submer...

125 Million dollar payout.
(Preview)
Unbelievable, and he leaves early in case the payout is reduced under pressure from the shareholders and the inevitable public condemnation. No moral compass here. How on earth can the board justify this sort of money??? It's obscene.

Wanting to return to the next post on a Topic.
(Preview)
Why is it that when I am reading a post on a particular topic, let's say the 15th post on that topic, when I return to the topic it automatically returns to the first post? It would be much better if we could return to where we were last reading say the 15th post. It would save having to scroll all the way down t...

How Children perceive their grandparents.1. I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I'd done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye...

Surprise!
(Preview)
What a surprise, a Collingwood player who knocked out an opponent flying at him in mid air gets exonerated at the tribunal. You have simply got to have Collingwood in the finals. Money,! money! money! Total farce.
