....and you will lose. The Australian Government will set the precedent. You may have to make do with being filthy rich.... instead of obscenely rich. It's time for an actually Responsible and Accountable Social Medium to replace this petty childish brat's. Pay for your use of news media, particularly as you profiteer from it with embedded advertising, and don't demonstrate just how much of a vindictive arse you are by blocking sites dealing with personal health crises such as suicid...

Passed away today from Covid 19. A true hero. Rest in peace.

When you're stuck within 4 walls [figuratively] trying not to go nuts [or more nuts] you fixate on doing things. This is what's keeping me on a relative level of sanity...both are from bare-metal strip-downs requiring brazing [metal work]...all the way to what you see now.... [in a bit of a rut with the colour scheme]...   So, what have you guys been doing for sanity? ...  

 

For 32 years I have lived in the same house in Melbourne, Australia and 5 years more before then - nearby....and all up - about 60 years over 3 places. In that time the population of Melbourne has more than doubled [almost tripled] and in a few years will pass Sydney to be Australia's largest city. Instead we moved to Ballaarat [also in Victoria]...and only the 3rd largest city in Victoria, population 101 thousand.   And that got me to thinking.... The USA has 300 million peo...

Or rather....I blew it... In all my 64 years on the planet I'd never seen snow falling - LIVE. As some might know....I'm in the process of moving home after 32 years in the same house in Kensington, Melbourne [Oz] and am moving to Ballaarat [correct spelling] which is roughly 100km West from Melbourne. Today, while leaving there to return to 'home' I ended up driving in my first-ever sight of snow falling. "Thrilling", I hear you say....but for me it was a novel experience....effing ...

For those who may not click with the name, some of the world's greatest guitarists have referred to Malcolm Young as the greatest Rhythm Guitarist of all time. As the co-founder of ACDC he'll be remembered for a very long time. 

If you get the chance.... Do yourself a favor.... Go see her. Terry and I, and 75000 others went tonight....and it was brilliant...

Probably last time I'll have hearing. ..about to start in15 mins....

It's that time of the year again.  I've been to the track to get my passes etc. .... for the 37th time in a row. Albert Park [Melbourne] is just 5 days away.  I'm posted at Turn 6 Left [Comms] and Terry's at 5.8 Right [Trackie] And to think I was 26 years old at that first one I did in 1980 - when Alan Jones was World Champion. Gone are the days of push-starting Senna [on my own] in Adelaide - I'll leave nudging 700 kilos of F1 to someone younger... Wit...

For anyone unsure..... think "To Kill A Mockingbird". A more significant piece of literature in recent times there hasn't been.

As we get 'older' we tend to come across real cars....versus kiddies' speed racers aka cop bait/hoon cars. This is one I sat in tonight.... Again I don't 'fit' ...it's designed to suit a 6'6" type...so I couldn't reach the pedals.... The other one I couldn't fit into was a D-Type Jaguar replica ... my knees hit the dashboard. Dang it....I want one that fits! BTW the Jag owner is building a Daytona Cobra....and I might just be able to fit int...

They've been sitting there for yonks....many are copied records of very 'ex' members of Wincustomize....removed after somewhat 'extreme' anglo-saxon expletives....   But this one recalled a time 12 years ago...and it'll be here somewhere [12 years later] ....just a little tale of woes from back then.... It all started a few weeks ago. My 5 year old washing machine had an identity crisis.  It wanted hence-forth to br known as an 'inert white obje...

Next year [it's 11 hours from now for me] Mine is to get on the Deadly Treadlie more....starting Day One. I lost count of how many times I cycled in '13 ....probably because I can't even remember the last time...it was so long ago. Ain't good enough.....not when you're pushing 60....   So....what's your resolutions? ...
