New Australia perhaps The mind boggles. The Poms would never win anything. 😋

Big policy ideas usually don’t come up in parliamentary valedictory speeches – they’re for saying goodbye and thank you. So departing Labour MP Jamie Strange was the exception last week when he made a case for New Zealand and Australia becoming one country. https://theconversation.com/a-retiring-nz-mp-has-suggested-joining-australia-we-should-at-least-think-about-it-before-saying-no-211728

What I find it unbelievable is that he can still run and be elected as President

I've seen videos of their road antics. They are not very good drivers so am guessing not much different on 2 wheels.

Michael Parkinson dies 88 years old. Was it Sir Michael?

Timber you make things out of. Wood you burn 😃 Old chippy joke

What is the difference between timber and wood?

Log salvaging is a huge industry. Some raised 100-150 years old

Probably unknown to most, Front man of alternative rock band Died Pretty, Ron S Peno, has died after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer four-and-a-half-years ago.While the major stages might have eluded Died Pretty, their work undoubtedly influenced later generations of Australian musicians. Nice string section with Sarah Peet on cello a hottie 😍

I found Sugar Man one of the most irritating songs ever. Right up there with anything by Alvin & The Chipmunks

How good are photocopiers 😊

Pretty scary though the amount of people flocking to see it. $1 Billion + turnover. Wonder why they never made a Pregnant Barbie? Oh that's right, Ken comes in a different box 😜

I loved watching the rocket festival. Never been to one only seen the videos Some awesome fails

Nor common sense

Was just referring to his acting not his indiscretions. But now you've brought it up I think is was broadly reported about the wank in a porno cinema. As for the "child porn" the subject in the pic was 17 years old and I think the guy who played the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (another weirdo) was the culprit . No idea what the full story was. Do agree though he was a weirdo.

Actor and comedian Paul Reubens, whose character Pee-wee Herman became a cultural phenomenon, has died aged 70. Reubens died on Sunday night after a six-year struggle with cancer he did not make public, his publicist said in a statement. "Please accept my apology for not going public with what I've been facing the last six years," Reubens said in a statement released on Monday with the announcement of his death. I know everyone remembers him for the Pee-wee character but I thought this was his best work.

Welding in a Fireworks Factory 🤔 A powerful explosion has ripped through a fireworks warehouse in Thailand, killing nine people and injuring more than 100, a senior official said, as several nearby homes were levelled or damaged. Key points: Preliminary investigation suggests the cause of explosion is a technical error during the steel welding process Media reports as many as 500 houses were damaged by the explosion Thailand has a poor safety record in the construction sector The blast in the town of Sungai Kolok in the southern province of Narathiwat is thought to have been caused by welding during construction work on the building. "A warehouse storing firecrackers in Sungai Kolok exploded this afternoon, the latest number is nine dead and 115 injured," Narathiwat governor Sanan Pongaksorn told AFP. "The fire is now under control. Preliminary investigation suggests the cause is a technical error during the steel welding process, as the building is under construction." Footage on local media showed a huge plume of smoke rising into the air and numerous shops, homes and vehicles badly damaged by the force of the blast — some ablaze and some with their roofs blown off. AFP photos from the scene show the warehouse reduced to rubble and twisted metal. The explosion wounded more than 100 people, officials say. (AP: Kriya Tehtani) Broadcaster Thai PBS reported that as many as 500 houses were damaged by the explosion in the border town on the frontier with Malaysia. "I was playing with my phone inside the house then suddenly I heard a loud, thunderous noise and my whole house shook," eyewitness Seksan Taesen, who lives 100 metres away from the warehouse, told AFP. "Then I saw my roof was wide open. I looked outside and I saw house collapsing and people lying on the ground everywhere. It was chaos." As many as 500 houses were damaged by the explosion, local media reports.(AP: Kriya Tehtani) Video shot by Mr Taesen showed a scene of turmoil at a local market, with dazed locals wandering around and emergency services rushing to help. Broken glass, roof tiles and other debris litter the ground. Thailand has a poor safety record in the construction sector and deadly accidents are common. Last month two people were killed when a bridge under construction in Bangkok collapsed onto traffic.
