Way more peas than I would have guessed when I planted them. As for spiders, I have often watched them. They are cautious? But a big black hairy Australian house spider can move faster than a goanna!
Humour is the best remedy and satire makes it happen. Wellness won't make it better.

Just hanging on? Just discovered that 1 sq.m. of peas planted in the garden can provide (peas) for a family of four every day for two months! Now I better understand the Neolithic?
Spoken like a true American! Sleep well!
"Montana is Furious!!!"? So that only leaves Texas and Florida? Maybe one of the Carolinas?
It's a market-based problem!
Bought a house two years ago, with a small garden. One sq.m. of peas has provided a crop every day for family of four for two months. And the rest provides all the other veges we need, for little labour. So know I understand how neolithic life was not so hard?
It didn't work. Deaf white men keep trying, (to make things better?)
It's so important to confirm the legal definition of genocide! Even tho it takes two years and acheives nothing on the ground?
By then, Ukraine will have the missiles to blow it up!
Who believes anything from Trumps cabinet anymore? Who believes in America anymore?
sadly, they do it so much better than Trump?
Didn't the last king of America to claim divine protection (Charles 1) get his head chopped off by a parliament of the people?
I can admit I'm wrong, sometimes. Trump met Putin in Alaska for private talks, that were apparently to intercede on behalf of Exxon to restore their rights to oil in Kamchatka? Please tell me if this is incorrect.
So many issues - like Trump negotiating with Putin for Exxon whilst presenting as peace talks - are going under American radar! Deluged with sh*t, it's hard to see the lasting damage.
I hope to see "jonesing" in the dictionary next year! Such an appropriate descriptor of the GOP MAGA cult. (I assume it references Jim Jones, of cool-aid fame?)
I believe Americans are usually kind - to each other. But it's not a virtue that anyone would claim regarding US government or Americans' view of the rest of the world.
Aye, there's the rub! I suppose we will have to wait until the end of his term in office to prosecute? The last King of America to claim divine protection got his head chopped off! (It was Charles 1).
When were Americans ever not dumb and afraid? Or informed about the world and politics. I can remember the 50's, and the US Cold War rhetoric.
No, slavs. Most of the jewish population, and government, of Israel are of Russian/Eastern European heritage, aren't they?
Wouldn't it be ironic if Trump croaks it just on the verge of Maga god status, and obsequious little weasel Vance usurps the dictatorship?
How much taxpayer money has Marles now donated to prop up the failing US submarine program? With only a promise that Aus will receive a submarine when US backlog is satisfied? An iconic Morrison/Trump rip-off!
The US Constitution, worshipped by everyone, is proving totally inadequate in the 21st century? And the fascists know it!
The Jewish state is a better target? But totally supported by US, so back to square one?
Have you ever heard such a lame excuse - it's not the America we want to live in? It is what you voted for!! Get educated or pay for it!
Don't you love research that discovers the bleedin' obvious?
Is the same Ben Hodges who fought disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, now the Human Rights Advisor to NATO? Is there no end to American arrogance, hypocracy and stupidity?
"City of Moreton Bay spends $1.4 million cracking down on homeless camps" Not $1.4m on providing accommodation?
One star from me too!
Tim hopes this justifies his new factories in India. Oh, and defers the 'promise' to invest billions in America?
On the other hand, he does seem to have been a major contributor to the destruction of US power and influence on the world scene? If only he would rename Sky Australia as the LNP Party Channel, he could destroy them too?
If that is all God put you on this earth for....? You must be American.
Why would Tulsi Gabbard not want to share Russian intel with Australia? No, seriously, WHY?
I'm in Australia, safe, maybe missing something like you? What if the President and State Governor issue contradictory orders? What if the Nat. Guard contingent is from a 'Red' State, suppressing protest in a 'Blue' State? What are the consequences of disobeying an order? Define chain of command!
How can a junior recruit to the National Guard choose between honouring his oath and obeying his senior officer? What are the consequences of disobeying orders in the National Guard? And will Americans lose respect for the people they rely on?
The oath required by National Guard, USA: Apart from supporting the Constitution, a Guard "will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations." So who should he obey?
So, with respect, Americans can't do anything until the end of 2026 when they can hopefully initiate proceedings and after a Supreme Court hearing, expect a result in 2028? Twice as long as a man on horseback would have taken to consult all colonies and deliver a constitution in the 18thC?
"Dumbass" implies he is stupid? As an Indian barrister he probably thought he was rather clever? Saving time and money using AI. Australia should be thankful the judiciary still has judges who question the source and validity of evidence presented by lawyers!
Australian minimum wage of $25/hr is for adults, which is why McDonalds etc only hire kids? (Gotta get a profit somehow?}
At last America has found a solution to its awesome problems? Newsom has a plan "to execute the removal of Trump". If the Dems win the Mid-terms, in 17 months time, then the new leader of the House can institute impeachment procedures against the President. For the third time. And that's the plan.
It's definitely a problem when law enforcers are recruited to enforce a political agenda but don't understand the law? That's America today.
The Israeli Govt/Mossad have posed a grave threat to US democracy for decades! It's not surprising they do the same in Europe and UK? Slowly Europeans (and Brits) are waking up. Americans are too uneducated and corrupt to acknowledge genocide. So, too late for Gaza?
The US is out. But Manchester is still in the game? Why wouldn't UK ship to Australia? Good luck - UK has so little industry left, but still makes the best of what it does still make. from Australia.
I saw the news - I follow Ukraine - but I never heard in Western media that civilians were freed!
I enjoyed that just as much as I suspect Jane Caro did? I'm still trying to work out why my son sent me a copy of Moby Dick for my birthday? A white whale? Oh, you said Oliver Twist? Sorry dad!
Is US politics so polarised, so disgusting, that we will soon be demanding the 'Newsom Files'?
At last, AUSTRAC is seen to be doing something! Whereas Labor politicians are still dragging their feet!
Uk is already dependent on recycled water? Imagine selling that idea to water-starved Arizona? They'd rather buy water from California, who have used all their water to grow almonds, and are thinking of building a pipeline to Canada? Is there never a simpler solution?
Get it while you can?
Can Britain - sorry, England - can still afford to buy back the national assets that Thatcher sold? Australian and Chinese investors are laughing!
It's so hard to know nowadays whether we are talking about NZ or Aus?
The Telegraph is shit!
Actually, in the case of RFK jr, I don't think it's about his politics? He actually believes the conspiratorial shit he espouses! The politics is Trump appointing such an unqualified, but recently loyal, celebrity freak to such an important post, in charge of Americans' health!
On Epstein's plane?
Information re Gaza needs to be regulated and restricted, like food and water! That's why humanitarian needs must be controlled by the IDF? Who does genocide better?
I'd vote for Newsom, I'm not a bot, I'm not an idiot. So the plan is to take action in late 2026? When Dems win the Midterms? That's the plan?
So Starmer trusts Trump to... to consider, Ukraine, Europe and UK interests? No wonder Labour has seriously lost respect!
Q. What do US geography teachers teach? A. US geography!
Q. How do you take over a nation's capital? A. You complain that homeless people offend you, invent insane crime statistics, and call out the national guard! Q. How can I find the way to Alaska? A. Ask Trump for a map of Russia.
Israel is responsible for the genocide of Gaza. Israel's actions are responsible for present anti-semitism. End of story.
Genocide is NEVER an excuse for anything! End of story.
It's not offensive! It's unbelievably naive? Please ask the citizens of Ukraine if they want to be enslaved, then ask yourself if this a class war. PS. how old are you?
Why can the Guardian no longer report real news, real sport, instead of super-boring cricket and bicycle racing, 'culture', American film and tv and tiktok trends? Is there a new editor?
Thankyou for posting that.. Not for trans people, for tolerance? But not for greedy oligarchs!
Oh fuck! As if we needed to be dragged into yet another US war disaster?
Trump is not going to fly to Alaska! His $400m plane requires a 1 bn$ taxpayer-funded refit. Trump doesn't know where Alaska is? Putin will never go to Alaska without his army of T55-74 tanks. ("Russian troops have stepped there? So it's ours?) Do Americans listen to what RT TV is saying!
If only it was that simple? Tho some Americans might believe you?
When the Epstein files are revealed, and America moves on, then maybe we can see the Putin files, and understand why USA has and does support fascist/communist dictators, oligarchs, pedophiles and uses the world's most powerful economy to tariff and extort his enemies, at US taxpayer expense!

I too, will refuse to give to the blind until they see what I want! (But, for that, I will support the dogs?)
I love Christi Noem! I won't hear a word against her! She is way the best actress on South Park!
Is the BBC the MSM that has crashed the hardest, the fastest, and the most unredeemably? I mean, Fox/Sky we never believed - but BBC was the gold standard. Back in the day, just a few years ago?
Thankyou! Let's hope Marles and Wong read this, and stop feeding Australians bullshit?
YouTube has somehow, algorhythmically? linked me to American blues, cos I love the English roots of rock. But it's mostly banned really rude stuff from 1920-1940s. What have I done to deserve this?
Yes, because Americans are lazy apathetic uneducated ****s?
As respondent 601, can I suggest the answer is Donald Tump?
If we only believed statistics, we'd get fired?
You don't understand America? White supremacy IS America! All the rest are immigrants! (Are we allowed to talk about slaves?) Now you're really confused?
It's already a bit late - about two years - to redeem Zionism? So probably too late to prevent new worldwide antisemitism, like we haven't seen since medieval Spain, 19thC Russia or 1930's Germany? Is this the legacy of Netanyahu.

Hard to believe that Trump could put Hegseth in charge of the Pentagon; Witkoff in charge of Russian diplomacy; Bessent in Treasury! Tulsi in the CIA; whats-his-name in the FBI? Ice is now desperate for similar talent. Ex-Fox prioritised!
Oligarchs are stealing our power, stealing our water! In UK, Australians and Chinese (everyone but not Brits) are profiting by dumping shit in rivers. In Queensland, WE WERE PROMISED that utility costs to consumers would go down if they were sold to private enterprise? They went through the roof!
Noemi loves you! (good job youse a good singer and not a disobedient dog!}
Don't listen to RFK Jr and don't eat roadkill!
"Very heartening" is an emotive and personal response? FACT. Every country... EVERY COUNTRY.. thinks Trump is a narcististic moron, exercising tariffs more as vendetta than economic benefit? He might not be able to start WW3, but don't be surprised by a US civil War in 2029?
Will Google Chrome's planned merger with Android benefit US education? Can WWE admin save the Department? Will teachers get a pay-rise and respect? Or is US education doomed to sink to even lower levels?
I really need to ask Mr Marles again. What parts of F35s are not lethal weapons? He's clearly been schooled by Penny Wong, who accepts the ICC ruling of genocide, but diplomatically can only criticise Israel, like a kindergarten teacher in the playground.
Being crushed by aid-drops is better than being shot at by IDF "humanitarian providers"??
Why can't we see the "Putin Files"??
Someone's read Mein Kampf?
RFK sees everyone as roadkill?
How will it be illegal under martial law?
Great response!
The Brits invented time zones, and capitalism, most other stuff, but after the War of Independence Americans stole invention, turbo-charged capitalism on the back of slavery, created the greatest military on earth by reserving it in WW1 and WW2 until by saving the world the US could profit by it.
I always enjoy their morning laughter. Read as... the noisy bastards wake me up!
Buy American! Pay more, get less. And check your health insurance.
I think we all can guess what's in the 'Epstein Files'? I'm not interested. I want to know what's in the 'Putin Files'?
I'd rather see the 'Putin Files'!
Visit the new Trump Hotel?
I think you got that cynical anaysis right.
I wish you well! I hope you realise that US politics requires millions of dollars? And although I support legislation that Lindsey Graham has proposed, Trump has not approved, so he's never actually achieved anything?
