With all the trials and tribulations that come through long lives, if you're lucky to ripen into old age, they hopefully bring wisdom, as to the intransience of life, and how precious life is. Friends and family drop like leaves in Autumn, as we all endure and must accept our inevitable end...

I wonder if we'll get a refund when Aukus falls in a heap?

I do recall that Craig.

Like most things, "use it or lose it". With my poor memory I'm good at losing it. Nowadays a lot of current IT issues confound and stress me. It took me over an hour today to cancel a dental policy, yet only 10 min to create the account last year. I've heard they do that deliberately...

I felt there was some underlying reason why this latest assassination attempt happened. The usual conspiracy theories muddying the waters, but ... Deliberate incaution? Trump is a master of deflections, many say Iran was to deflect Epstein and later back to Epstein to deflect Iran, ... ...

Hi Craig, I'm about to get busy in the near future so please pardon my Iooming infrequency. I sent you a message explaining. The advanced Martians are Samarks, not Morlocks Craig, but similar to them. Hence the confusion. No big deal. Please take the lead in our parallel scenarios. How's Dr...

I got used to those big printers too. Constantly running off worksheets, tests, exams, ..., replacing toners, unjamming jams, ... , stocking up boxes of A4 packs ... Even today at home I have a big Brother laser b/w printer with wi-fi and lots of bells and whistles. It took me a good while to...

I studied units of Computing in my pre history degree with Fortran and punched cards. For my 80 page final paper I wrote programs for Hydrology calculations. I was very happy with a B, given it was quick to do. From the get go I was using early PC's like the XT, AT, 486, ... in my work, mostly...

Lieutenant Ley helped with the care of captured Samarks on Earth and had learnt their language fairly well. So coming forward she spoke to the little green Eloi in her basic Samarkian language calming him down. He told her his confusion when his Samark overlords fled deeper into the 'Nest' and...

Cheers Craig. I faintly remember a region on Mars called Eloi or some similar word.

A friend's 40ish very smart daughter told him recently that she was over having a laptop computer, now preferring just a quality tablet instead ! That was interesting to hear as I have a grunty win11 ASUS Laptop I rarely use, just like my costly mobile phone. All 3 with different operation...

Hi Craig, The Martian "Bugs" we're attacking are the Samark. These 5 limbed horror guys: The little green fellow is one of their slaves and the worms are a food source for the Samark tended by the little green beings acting as Shepards and Gardeners . . . ¿?.¿. ?? They speak a simple version...

We Baby boomers are sucking up a lot of GDP as predicted and some cuts are justified for sure. I still hear conflicting arguments about all sorts of finance positions, above my pay grade. Still, I totally agree we need to create stringent export taxes on our Coal and especially GAS. Just like...

65m is impressive through hard rock Craig, so thinking of a honeycombed cave system I'd guessed much more penetration, as a wild guess ... 11km. Certainly better than Nukes are Bunker Busters.

The little green being with the shock stick was bipedal, two legs and two arms. Dropping his shock stick he raised his arms and hands in supplication putting himself between the Earthlings and the nervous milling giant maggots around him. He spoke in the language of the captured Samarks on...

Perter replied "If this new Samarkian shield enhancement is within the embedded structure of the new Samark craft, I'd love to see even a little sample of that Material as no doubt Dr Wellham would too. Good luck Richie."

Well done refurbishing those bicycles Thomas. Your Garden and sunset outlook is lovely. I've two friends' birthdays coming up in 3 weeks, one turning 70 and the other 68. Brainstorming nice little gifts I originally thought of garden figurines but then saw some lovely wind chimes for their...

Agreed, but I've got nothing much to hide, I only do safe searches and stick to trusted sites like our ABC, Guardian and the BBC ... Duck duck go is very good and I used it a lot in the past. Google maps knows my location, which is helpful, ... pity about my ip address ...

Barnaby would be a better choice than Pauline I reckon too. I heard him speak very well on the radio the other day. He's got a broad knowledge and experience of many things. He is also a former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and served as leader of the National Party. He's also a lovable...
