My Penis is hungry

No - we call you pommie bastard or poms, even if you are still holding a UK passport

I had a form of epilepsy that part of it was I "froze", I'd be concious, but my vision would reduce to a speck of light in a tunel, my hearing would generally seem to improve, would last about 30 seconds or so, 

Was quite weird, most people had no idea it had happened, just why the fuck is he silent

If you study your pre Australia history, 1880,s, you'll learn that the population of the colonies voted to become one single country along with Fiji. 

Qld and WA said no, NZ and Fiji said yes

Next round Fiji said no, Qld and WA again said no, with NZ, NSW, Victoria, SA and Tassie saying yes

Next round NZ dropped out, all the colonies in the island of Australia said yes along with Tassie

And that's Australia

And, to join up we don't even need a referendum, it's in our constitution that we can rejoin as one

Coss have U tried Google Flights?

I use it regularly, plus you can set it to track fairs.

Singapore Airlines has cheap tickets this week, booked 2 of the kids to go home at Christmas

Jolly good article Coss

FSM  Micronesia, 

Not part of the USA 

Quite independent and they like to piss the USA off

In July I was getting great muddies for $20 each, 

Mind you, in FSM I can buy them at the markets for $2 each, or get 8 for $100 cooked at a restaurant

I think the price has gone up to 5 large cooked for $100 now post COVID

I love FSM, would live there in a heart beat

Shows how long things take to float, 

The old Teak Timber trade was facinating

They'd cut timber and it would take 2 - 3 years to get to Bangkok, each firms makrings would need to be read and credited

Teak Wallah

Great book by a bloke called Campbell

Obviously you can't eat

Otherwise would he have sent?

Loved it, one of my fav musos ever. 

Great muso that his home country never knew. Rodriguez, the singer-songwriter whose unlikely career was the subject of Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man, has died at 81.

The news was announced on his official site with his cause of death unknown. “It is with great sadness that we at Sugarman.org announce that Sixto Diaz Rodriguez has passed away earlier today,” the official statement read. “We extend our most heartfelt condolences to his daughters – Sandra, Eva and Regan – and to all his family. Rodriguez was 81 years old. May His Dear Soul Rest In Peace.”

Excellent book! Well worth the read

I haven't found any Barbie books to read

I've seen worse looking whores

I guess one could opine that Laos is really Upper Isaan .

Certainly the rocket festivals I've attended, are at a small village about 30 minutes from Vientiane and just over the river from Isaan proper. I wonder if either side of the river has ever got it into their heads to angle the rockets, towards the other side...

My family quote Isaan as Lower Laos, 

It's held across small villages and large towns and cities across Thailand, mostly in the North and North East.

We've been to these in KK, Udon Thani, Nong Kai and the little villages around us.

It's not just in one place

I am surprised that Christopher Nolan missed out not only Oliphant, but also Rutherford, Cavendish (Cambridge) the MAUD committee etc.

Being a Brit himself I can’t believe he forgot about them, but Hollywood being Hollywood was probably told to gloss over the facts so the Good ‘Ol US of A appears to be a knight in shining armour. You know like other Hollywood films where they captured and cracked the Enigma machine or single handedly saved Europe from the Nazis. 

You need to remember according to history, sorry, hollywood, USA invented Colossus, RADAR, The bomb etc etc

What's interesting is that because he'd rescued German physists Frisch and Peierls from the Nazis he couldn't have them help on the development of RADAR, so instead had them spend their time while they waited to become "ënglish" on doing their usual nuclear work.

Which is when they worked out that if you removed U235 from U238 an atomic bomb was possible, and small enough to be delivered by plane. Previously opinion was it would weigh tonnes and not be effective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch–Peierls_memorandum

That was groundbreaking and again becuase they had no clearance, Oliphant took that first note to the UK people, making MAUD happen, and then when the USA did nothing, Oliphant was sent over to wake them up. 

The USA had been locking up the MAUD reports in a safe as they had been classified as "Top Secret" and not shared with theUSA team responsible for investigating the possible development of a nuclear bomb, 

DUH

The choice of the name of the MAUD committee is quite funny

MAUD was assumed by many to be an acronym, however it is not. The name MAUD came to be in an unusual way. On 9 April 1940, the day Germany invaded Denmark, Niels Bohr had sent a telegram to Frisch. The telegram ended with a strange line "Tell Cockcroft and Maud Ray Kent".^[32][34] At first it was thought to be code regarding radium or other vital atomic-weapons-related information, hidden in an anagram. One suggestion was to replace the "y" with an "i", producing 'radium taken'. When Bohr returned to England in 1943, it was discovered that the message was addressed to John Cockcroft and Bohr's housekeeper Maud Ray, who was from Kent. Thus the committee was named the MAUD Committee.

Maybe it's good I think it's 18

18 in Oz
