    The Serious Discussion Thread.

    I reckon Machado knew how much Trump loved praise and people sucking up to him. For her I reckon her political aspirations were more important than a Nobel Peace Prize Medal. She might be able to get a copy? Trump doesn't deserve one given his many Warful Interventionist behaviours, yet...

    There was a great article this morning on our ABC website about the World's and Australia's 2025 fires, floods, storms ... with a great collection of "vivid" pictures and easy to read graphs well worth looking at: Here's the link...

    Well meaning the Social media ban on under 16's in Australia is full of holes the kids are easily working out. A simple VPN is an easy way around it, and numerous other ways our tech savvy teens know about, more so than me. The reason I still support it is because of the hurt cyber bullying...

    I thought Hitler shot himself after Eva Braun took a cyanide capsule in a bunker. That was the coward's way out and easier than a public hanging. I once 'didn't' hear that privately together Adolf initially put the gun to his head and Eva cried out in despair. "Don't do it Adolf, how will I...

    Maybe but I'd prefer Tony Abbott who once wanted to shirtfront Putin. Tony is a very smart man with right leaning ideology like Trump. That could work well, maybe too well? Despite that Lidia is louder, more flamboyant, loves the Lime Light and would send Trump even crazier. She's sure well...

    Given Russia's decline and European support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 that will further put Putin on the back foot. I hope he has a similar fate like Mussolini had. Maybe he could seek refuge in Tramp's US, another failing State.

    An US lady friend sent me this U Tube link below explaining liar Trump's reason for annexing Greenland. It's not for the Security reasons he mentioned repeatedly but for reasons of resources and bullying greed, again. 2 minutes 36 seconds only. I always thought Trump greed was the main factor...

    Too right about dry heat being more bearable Craig. I was happy to work as a young Surveyor in the Pilbara region where's it mostly hot and dry, except for cyclones. I could handle that but not the Kimberlies where it's hot and humid, like Darwin. Awful, even the eastern states are too humid for...

    What's the humidity like with those scorching days Craig? We export heat waves from our Pilbara region NW of WA to the Eastern states! Sorry about that. I simply cannot handle hot humid days anymore, but if it's a dry heat I can handle that with my evap blowing hard. Unfortunately my evap is...

    I agree Zman about Trump acting like the Anti-Christ. Seriously, he's destroying the US the most, followed by the whole world. Turning on allies, yet friendly with Despotic Dictators whom he admires, ignores Global warming, anti-Science, anti-Vaxer in charge of Health, profiteering from his...

    The U.S. military's sole active base in Greenland is Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) in the northwest, a critical Space Force installation for missile warning, defense, and space surveillance, supporting NATO's Arctic monitoring. Established under a 1951 defense treaty, it's the...

    Could this test match end up as a draw? Might Australia declare? Decisions! See how it goes but such strategic thinking is interesting. It was great to see Head and Smith each get another century plus.

    Well, Trump & Co are also talking about annexing/invading Greenland for its rich resources. Not for Security as the Yanks already have big bases in the North of Greenland for their Security. A smoke screen with hawkish bs, it's the resources Trump wants, and if he tries that'll be the end of...

    My thought too Craig. Trump doesn't get "Hypocrisy" especially saying Maduro rigged an election .... hahaha! Although Maduro is a "Bad Guy", like others filling their pockets from the power they exert. Oils ain't Oils .... 🤑 This below is an example of top shelf hypocrisy: Juan Orlando...

    The Sydney test is looking like a real test. Good to see the Poms improve. I only say that because I prefer a close game in all sports. I still hope Australia wins this 5th test.

    I had to googe this one: Xacuti is a curry prepared in Goa, India, with complex spicing, including white poppy seeds, sliced onions, toasted grated coconut, and large dried red chillies.It is usually prepared with crabs, chicken, lamb, or beef. It is also known as chacuti in Portuguese. 😋  Y

    Early days from the Aftermath of Bondi Craig. Politics aside I think an urgent Security investigation will speed up the protections from loony scumbugs. Remember how the squeaky wheel get the oil.

    THE CHRISTMAS THREAD.

    I was brought up to my early teens in a pub my parents ran, 20 miles south of Belfast in the coastal tourist town of Donaghadee. I was smoking and drinking from 13 on, which was no big deal in Ireland then. I even served behind the bar. As you said Craig, the urge to smoke stays with us. When...

    I only took up smoking again 2 years ago after years of not smoking. Likewise alcohol after not drinking for 25 years. Mark Twain said "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times"
