No, he just decided not to incur the wrath of someone who had to fit him into a giant neck brace every day for several months! (All 6'4" of him!) 😄

It's sometimes hard to get people to admit they need extra help! I've finally convinced my other half that the walking stick goes with him everywhere - only took a broken neck!!! 😵💫

I've got a cheap Xiaomi smart watch that can make emergency calls - I wonder if this could be a safety measure we could use for elderly people living on their own? We do need something like this - all too common accident unfortunately. Hope he is OK.

Seems a bit strange to discontinue a brown ink when it is a popular colour, especially for drawing etc.

I've started a "one in one out" policy with clothes. Buy a new one & something else either gets put in the thrift shop bin or the garbage bin! So I can't really buy a new item unless I have one at home that's broken or just doesn't fit etc.

I'm not surprised - a few tunes get me in that mood too😄 (See "Achey Breaky Heart" etc! 🤮)

I've driven in ordinary cars in New Zealand (I'm Australian so not used to snow driving). They handled light snow better than this!

Artificial unintelligence! I've tried it out & given it words in parentheses to write (for a poster) & it spat them back as gibberish. A 6 year old could reproduce letters written out in some sort of order even if they didn't grasp the meaning.

Thanks Dave. Must post a few more.

I occasionally fill in with a concert band that plays a few of these & similar jazz charts. So much better than most of the concert band repertoire!!!

An excellent reminder to never vote for Barnaby! Or anyone like him. I lost 2 friends to cervical cancer pre vaccines. I am so glad no one will ever have to go through this again!

Judging by the responses on SM I'd say she is now loathed even more than before. We see straight through her cheap stunts & attention seeking.

I'll remember that next time I see a post from some dingbat about "migrants taking over" etc. Interesting about the numbers from India as my mother always said (& back in 1950s!) we should have had more migrants from there - usually English speaking & well educated etc. Just took about 30 years!

tackle the real problems in Australia like homelessness & climate change. This is a cheap stunt because it is just that - cheap. No effort involved, no research, no legwork going out & checking on her constituents. Just a $5 Temu outfit. Suits the Temu senator I guess.

She's just an embarrassment to Australia. She can wear a clown costume for all I care - but don't waste Parliament's time with attention seeking stunts. I might see about 2-3 burqa wearing people in a year & quite frankly on my list of problems they don't even rate. She's too lazy to /2

Some of it is OK but never mention Mariah Carey to me near Christmas! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
