I'm watching the Fiji national news in the mornings. It's so homey, with stories about "the family just down the road from auntie Doreen". Love Fiji, need to get back soon.

Extrajudicial murder, added that go my bingo card.
Bloody Hell! There's just been an ad on TV for one of those home delivery weight loss food companies. She claims to have lost 102Kg that's 15Kg more than me and I'm 6'4" (1.93m). She must have had a zip code for each butt cheek! Chonky....
He'll be fine. Its nice to chat with him, He seems harmless enough and I am 17000Km away, although I do have a 50th school reunion in Glasgow next year I'm contemplating.
Tested my new freezer, made sugar free frozen cherry chocolate greek yoghurt. Sensational!
All done for another year. I could defer because I'm retired and the accrued balance would eventually come from my estate but I'm a good citizen!
Payed my rates a day early, I think I may be coming down with a fever. Giving council money before the due date isn't like me at all!
Its been 2 months since I switched to stainless steel needles for my art. Still on my first one with no signs of wear. Id have gone through about 6 nickel plated ones by now. Doubt I'll ever need more than the 50 I bought.

Nice one, don't forget the lung clot twins "wheezy" and "gaspy"
That would be the smell of brimstone, tick tock Donnie!
They're going to need to develop a whole new swathe of honours now that Dump has defiled all dignity the current ones have.
Pigs might fly, anyway why would Oz and NZ want to be part of the EU,they've got plenty of Asian and south pacific communities they belong to.
jeez, I hope his seeing eye dog was OK
How could they tell?
All he'd say is, "its OK son your mum and I have known for a while now"
Nice thought but the EU charter states that member countries have to be in continental Europe.
Tell that to the younger me when I'd spend 14 hours on rounds then theatre then more rounds!
I give you India, biggest democracy in the world, Indonesia 270 million, even china at a stretch... The problem the us has is chronic self interest with no will or leadership to change.
Yeah america has really gone to the dogs hasn't it?
Yeah, and I don't find it that easy to get stuff out of it. I'll chuck it in the laundry and use it in summer to freeze the ice blocks I give the kiddies when its in the 40s. And as a backup. If it dies then its a mouseproof place to keep the chook food.
Mightily peed off. Couple of days ago my chest freezer seemed to give up the ghost. Did the mad scramble to move stuff and chuck old freezer burned morsels. Went 100km yesterday and bought a new upright freezer. Opened the chest freezer to move it and the damned thing has started working again
I like the Indian drag queen usually found behind the bins at the STD clinic. Sheelita Chankar. (say it out loud)
Something has been busy in the back paddock, there's bits of dead baby bunnies all over the place. Probably a Tawny Frogmouth or the local Goshawk. Unlikely to be a fox since there's bits left.
Someone should nominate her for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hmmm... I had the same issue with my Reno, i'd get frustrated and walk away for a day or two to let things churn over and my mind process what's next. It worked!
Give yourself a break. Do something totally different. It's the first day of spring so maybe plan your veggie garden for summer or something. It'll be there when you get motivated!
Probably the crab at a wild guess!
I think you may have to rethink the tense of that statement. The horse is at least three paddocks over by now.
That's 1% and is spot on with the published data. usafacts.org/articles/wha...
Ya reckon they've got some clandestine hospital setup there where the do the embalming fluid infusions into his hand?
My local supermarket sells a carrot and walnut cake baked on the premises, its really nice and dirt cheap. Bit dry on its own though so I whip up some cream cheese frosting and voila! A weeks worth of elevenses....
americans, terrorising vulnerable children every day, if they're not shooting them at school they're kidnapping and whisking them away to some unimaginable hellhole. Winning yet?
Expensive habit, try leaving boogers and chewie stuck under the desk
Great excuse for civilised nations to refuse visas to unvaccinated americans. Dump admires Kim jong un might as well turn the country into a me too nth Korea. Winning yet?
E: Her double chin
I watched the funeral in a camping ground in Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley West Australia about half way from Darwin to Broome. Our black tuille fly face nets looked very appropriate!
You don't get to explain your racism. Oh, and get some grammar lessons, your sentence is intelligible gibberish.
So its the anniversary of Diana's death. I was on a flight to Darwin from Sydney. Landed at 10.30pm and inside the terminal was eerily quiet. Everyone glued to tvs. She'd died while we were in the air. Word filtered to we passengers and two had screaming hysterics that echoed loudly. So bizarre.
Dear lord, Sunday night doco on SBS is about hitler and the nazi rallies. It could have been made about the USA last week. The similarities are astonishing. Even down to the commentaries on the psychology of the cult by the talking heads on loving the flag and dying for the cause. Eerie
Bin Man retires after emptying tens of thousands of bins. What's your point?
Common as muck, and those nails! She must have someone wipe her arse.
I've been home from a quick errand for 5 hours or so, no sign of either Max or Bear all afternoon until now. This means they've been asleep most of the day and does not bode well for a peaceful uninterrupted nights sleep.
Another wig!, anybody would think she's Cher or something
lovely racist comment there, keep it up!
Did you actually read the article, or just pick out a couple of buzz words? Truly unbelievable take. Researchers don't get invited to present at international conferences on a whim.
Oh please, 6 months ago she was claiming to be non-binary.

I don't usually post music videos but this is an absolute banger!! Have a look, it won't disappoint. (They got permission and the blessing of Queen to do it too) youtu.be/gbljPQbxtTQ?...
I've got some birdie nesting in the tree outside my kitchen window. Awww you say but the little cheeps are driving the cats to despair. Fighting room only on the windowsill and lots of frustrated chattering! Suck it up kids you're not getting out!
Winning! My state in Oz often has days when we're running on 100% renewables they add in gas as required and my power costs are down 8% year on year
1882 or there abouts
Delusional, fuck sake america!
Fun fact: Like everything we have in Australia they also have the ability to poison you by injecting a venom from a spur on their back leg.
You missed the bit where you sniffed them as well.
Caught short on the beach before factor 50+
This is fascinating, I had no idea this practice went on. The comments though.... ugh, from ugly narrow minded people. Worth the 5 minute read.
Its not Bobbies fault, she's a lovely girl, very timid, doesn't bite and just beginning to trust and sit on my hand. I just think her last owner never offered her any stimulation or enrichment, just chucked wild bird mix in her cage. She does like watermelon and gumnuts though.

Nah, I worked hard for it. The last one is barely cold, dropped dead on the ride on mower when I was out shopping.. Ruined the lawn.

That's only half of it, there's a huge room on the left that's 18x20 metres with 6 metre ceilings, the old games room, its beautifully cool in summer. A stage inside and I've got a war memorial out front, a school house and the old station on my property too, 3 Tennis courts and my own toilet block!
Fuck yeah! I've got the heated throw rug on and two cats this arvo. Beanie to bed, my place is cavernous so pointless trying to heat it all. Here it is before renovation.
Bearing in mind I'm in South Australia on the edge of a huge fresh water lake, its 4pm and 19°C, it will get down to 9°C overnight. We can get frost here mid winter because its usually cloudless so no 'blanket' Spring in a couple of days then it warms up quite quickly, so mid-high 20s maybe 30s
Cruel! Cairns is nice and warm now, we down south are in the last throes of winter and its freezing (relative to 45°C summer). I know where I'd rather be.
Got a cauli this morning and been feeding the green leaves to the birdies. Gertie, Muriel and Rosemary love them, as does Kai the galah who demolished hers. Bobbie the galah, not so much, ripped a bit off and turned her beak up at the rest. Picky bitch!
No, just blown off course, they still landed on the mainland just at Cairns in FNQ not Sydney. We've had some major weather fronts coming up from the Antarctic that pushes the currents northward this winter.
Some achievement, although they missed their original target by about 2000Km. Well done lads!
Some people are just weird! Popped up to the shops and there was one old duck pulling individual bananas off of different hands on the display. Weighing each 'nana and putting them all in one bag. Fair enough if you only want one or two but she had about a dozen!
I'll take 'who is the pettiest of petty old c*nts for a thousand Alex'.
I've said for weeks now that the bruise on the back of the hand is where they pump in embalming fluid to keep down the smell.
When you get thst close imagine the fish breath!

Watching Jeopardy and one of the contestants let slip that he's gay. Matching lippy and cashmere..... I'd never have guessed!
Oh this is a hard one.... I'm tossing up between a magnificent neck beard or a goitresque double/triple chin!
Sucking up to a nazi fascist is expensive, who knew?
Are they the snappy ones or well behaved?
There's nothing to be hot for after my stroke, believe me!
Oh, plunging face first into warm rancid jello, glad I've had lunch.
Cracking my knuckles before I reply to a sloppy unprofessional error ridden reply to a complaint I made about an incorrect online order. They won't know what hit them, I do love a bit of linguistic evisceration on a Friday!
Its unfortunate the period of mourning barely lasts 2 news cycles. Mass shootings are such a common occurrence they don't even make the lead story if at all. Did you realise that was the second one on that day? The other barely got a flicker.
What is wrong with these people? Rational adults grew out of this type of behaviour by the time they were 7 or 8. The civilised world watches on in horror.
It has been chucking it down for hours. So heavy that it woke me up just before 5 in the dark. Should fill my tanks (60,000L) nicely, they've been hammered in the drought but I resist turning on the stinking mains river water.
oh it's easy, Mill Guy!
I laughed out loud at this one. 'my mum just called to tell me my nan had just died?????' then I blocked her!
Oh I just feel so sorry for them, getting to adulthood without mastering a basic tenet of simple grammar.
That's stuffed
There's a much more graphic video, I can categorically say he didn't expect to die, just a tad frantic as he went down the first set of rapids.
He went cheap, drowning in real time and only had 500 followers.
Why am I getting all these illiterates showing up who think it's OK to finish a statement with a string of question marks when they haven't come close to asking a question? Majority are young and from the USA.
