So you'd be happy if the strip clubs were filled with sexy, nubile but underage girls?

Recently I tried the BBC Fuel Price Calculator, which for where I am at $2.55/Gallon indicates that the only place I can get gas cheaper is either Nigeria or Venezuela.

Thanks for that .. I just ordered a copy

Hey I am not going to deny any of the past genocide or current treatment now and I am ashamed of that aspect of Oz. On the other hand I still feel pride in where I was borne.

The sad thing is that even given such eulogies we still have people like Andrew Bolt.

Struth mate[1]. Don't come the raw prawn with me. Pissed can have multiple meanings, and you sound more like a whining pom than any brit.

And yeah .. I did bring the aerogard last weekend

[1] And if you don't know how to parse that, then I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down.

Have you seen Virginia lately??????

Anyway, the level of conservatism in the US is much higher than a lot of places in the world. Just take the reaction to Janet Jackson's nipple and nudity in general (think of the children!)

What pesky laws are those? I'm pretty certain that governments already have the rights to inspect any goods that pass over their borders and to know the details of who is transporting them, where they came from and to whom they are going.

I'll have you know that in Oz, having criminals in your family history who were deported to Australia is actually a bit of a status symbol. Especially if you can trace them back to the First Fleet. I'm a bit pissed, as I can't do that as all my ancestors were free settlers.

And the reason that the Brits started dumping convicts in Australia was partly because of some war or something that they had with a former colony that stopped them from sending the prisoners there.

And in the words of some comic (who I can't remember)

From personal experience I suspect that FB prioritizes the visibility of your updates by other people based on how frequently you post - thus rewarding those people who post the most (crap).

I don't know about Leah Thompson, but you can see a minimalistically dressed Lea Thompson on TV every Monday at the moment, cavorting around with a bunch of half naked guys.

Apparently Adblock does work

Only as long as you have an accurate chronometer that was correctly set. The sextant gives you North/South, but you need the chronometer for East/West

GPS is great for telling you HOW to to another location. What it can't do is tell you WHY you want to go to that other location. On the other hand you can look at a paper map and go "That looks like a spot I WANT to go to".

How does Bitcoin force a company to do business with another company if they don't want to?

From the NTSB website:

So if you have a beef with that mandate then fortuitously today is a day in the US where you can act on your beliefs.

You did/will vote today?
