Victoria resident Lily Bales has died age 101. At the age of 17, the shy teen joined England's Auxiliary Territorial Service, becoming one of the famed "Ack Ack Girls" working as a spotter for early coastal gun-laying radar.

He came out with that box set in '86. We were already wound up by Born in the USA and then this comes out. Box sets were a novelty at the time and it seemed like everyone who could afford one had a copy. And yeah, that was about as much Bruce as we could take for a while.

Wow, that's almost as long as the council debate over a new duplex.

I doubt he spent more than a few minutes on it. What reasonable person could tolerate such empty banality? It's promotional drivel.

If McCartney announced he was taking a few months off I'd be gravely concerned.

Cash is now, thanks to Rubin, the epitome of cool. More so than some of his colleagues--do any high school kids you know have George Jones t-shirts?
Not many teens have Springsteen shirts for that matter unless they're being deeply ironic.

Accurate headline if it was from 1989 not 2025.

Don't forget his remarkable Tony Wilson tombstone. I believe it even has its own FAC catalogue number.

I hope it's investigated.
Weaver was furious with me when I pointed it out--turns out he had nothing to do with it; it was Andrew that took his letter of endorsement and turned it into a mailer that appeared to come directly from Weaver who later strongly disavowed having anything to do with it.

Nothing from EBC regarding Oak Bay-Gordon Head candidate Stephen Andrew? He had sent out a mailer last year that was made to look like it came from Andrew Weaver (the envelope said "From the desk of Andrew Weaver") who was not registered as a third party sponsor.

The most important task society needs to solve is where the tap is on the card reader terminal should permanently be. The top? The side? The bottom? Let's figure this out, people.

Don't worry about fiddling its placement, the room's not even built yet! Once the toilet is installed you can get them to move it over a few inches.
