Embassador to an overwhelming and malevolent empire of creditors. I would expect a lot of respectful silence on such thin ice.

An Australian unit of measurement that applies here is the milk crate. a bottom end attachment for a bike carrier will carry one persons weekly shop. attach with cable ties or similar. Wife sold our Yuba brand Boda-Boda cargo bike. I still commute with pedal power.

An eloquent and insightful explanation of Aussie culture there. Five stars is probably wanky overkill. Four stars sounds expensive. Three stars is normal. Two stars getting a bit bogan. One star quite feral.

@Gorgritch_umie_killa
yes. My father in law is a semi-retired farmer. two rifles in a cabinet. responsible ownership is no problem with the new laws.

Must try it. Really enjoyed watching 'ZONE OF INTEREST' on Stan
A chilling holocaust film.

I was nursing on duty at Fremantle Hospital when bikers arrived and discharged an injured gang member at gunpoint in 1993. Even with the strictest controls, guns get stolen or sold to bad people. The fewer weapons, the better in my opinion.

Australia should be exporting SPAMB (canned spiced lamb) instead of live sheep. Keep the labour local and remove the argument about third world lack of refrigeration. True globalism would see spambwiches being served in cornish high tea and alaskan cafeterii.

@RustyRaven @LowExperience2368 you can combine paracetamol with non-steroidal anti-inflamatory such as nurofen or voltage to amplify the analgesic effect. Cold pack.

I have been reading a little about the society of our primate relatives and whole-heartedly agree that our cooperative nature is innate. Stress can cause us to behave in more primitive ways, using only our lizard brain - we tend to think only of preserving our own vegetative functions. I think some people carry that level of trauma around with them.

@naevaTheRat
Thankyou. Your use of the the word anarchic makes a lot of sense.
