Date Posted:2022-09-13 12:19:01Copy HTML The longest fence in the world is in Australia. It is slightly longer than the distance between N.Y. & London. Called the "Dingo Fence" for keeping the wild dogs out of places where they shouldn't be. Live respected, die regretted

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-26 12:51:41Copy HTML Work this one out. Saudi Arabia is to open and allow 600 bars to sell alcohol in their country to attract tourists. Seems wealth is making the Saudis more European by the year but why would they want infidel tourists? Selling booze! Are they short of a few bob these days? |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-27 09:51:41Copy HTML Yesterday a car ploughed into a crowd of football supporters. Last night the BBC went out of its way to tell us all the perpetrator was white. This morning the Daily Mail newspaper opened up its report on the incidence with these four words… yesterday a white man. If the maniac had been a Muslim or a black you wouldn’t get a hint of his colour or religion. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-27 11:36:30Copy HTML I'm assuming that the next time a black or Asian person commits a serious crime we'll be told straight away of his ethnicity. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-28 12:44:44Copy HTML The U.S.'s wealth gap with Europe is expanding every day. Not only the rich, but in median disposable income as well. GDP per capita in the U.S. is $83,000, compared to $50,000 in the U.K. & $54,000 in Germany. Many metrics show the U.S. is far more affluent. The average American home is 2,200 square feet, compared with 800 for the U.K. & 1,200 for Germany. This translates into multiple bathrooms, washer-dryer units, bigger refrigerators, & Americans dine out more frequently. Europe does have a more robust welfare system, & stronger community ties, but there is no denying that a significant economic gulf separates America and Europe.

Source The Dispatch Is this why we have been overfunding for defense of Europe all these years? Uncle Sam is the teat Europe has been feeding on & that is all coming to a close with Trump in control. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-30 12:27:18Copy HTML Yes, I am different from "normal" folk! And I fly the flag for cash payments. I have both a debit and a credit card and use them for large purchases, but for daily use it's cash. I'm thinking of trying out a top hat and breeches to complete the look. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-30 12:32:33Copy HTML Well, that sounds like a great "hey look at me" outfit Mark. You would stand out from the crowd like Fetterman does in the Senate. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-30 04:23:12Copy HTML A top hat and breeches would suit you very well, Mark, especially if you're inclined to give history lectures or guided mausoleum tours in your retirement. The dress would be entirely appropriate. Take a bodyguard along to fend off the ladies. John Fetterman is one hot mess. "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-30 06:36:47Copy HTML I've changed my mind about a top hat, at 6ft 2ins I would be too much of a beanpole, a Homburg perhaps? You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-05-31 02:00:53Copy HTML Grow a beard and at your height, with a top hat, you could pull off an Abraham Lincoln. Homburgs are quite smart in my opinion. They give an air of distinction. Good choice, that one.
