  1. Sales of electric cars in Australia has tanked in the last 12 months due to the long distances Australians have to travel and the poor range and when they find a charging station it is either occupied or not working so they are switching to hybrids.
  2. The question is why do governments have to give subsudies/ tax rebates ???? ? Answer ..... nobody would buy them !!!!
  3. Did he introduce himself as Ronald Biggs ????
  4. The exact same applies to Kevin Rudd in Australia. He was sent to the U.S. because is such an idiot and troublemaker and they wanted to get rid of him. Foreign Minister Wong is over there now begging Trump to not send him home.
  5. The U.K. is not the only country that will havea problem with their choice of Ambassadors to the U.S. Australia's current U.S Ambassador is ex P.M. Kevin Rudd who is known as Rudd the Dud. He was Ausrtalia's 2nd worst P.M. ever... the current one is the worst Anthony Albanese. When Trump was elected last time Rudd said publicly among other criticisms that Trump is a threat to the western world. After that in an interview he was asked if he was aware of the demeaning criticism from Rudd and he said that if he is still in the job when he is re-elected he we won't be there long So we will see what happens.It stands to reason that an Ambassador in a country has to get along with the leaders of the country that they are in.
  6. The pommy idiots must be getting upset because the Aussie Yobos have taken the headlines again.!!
  7. Look out Nigel Farage will be opposition leader soon ....and P.M. next.but I wish he would get a new set of teeth first I'm sure he can afford it.
  8. What a stupid statement..weather records going back 138,000 years.when was the thermonitor invented ???? Absolute b.s.
  9. What California in got to do is get rid of the greenies that run the place and start doing controlled burns in the canyons and mountains and get the residents to move large trees and shrubs and long grass that is too close to their houses. I watched videos of the fires and the fire raced up the mountain and the row of houses backing on to it had dry grass and trees right up to their back patio The firies had no hope of saving those houses.they could only move away and watch them burn.Then there was the dry fire hydrants. !!! Thats another story.
  10. Good point about timber and other flammable materials in these houses but the fire was ferocious and and was pushed by a 100 mph wind and would have had a temperature in the thousand of degrees and I doubt even a steel frame and roofed house would have fared any better. In such a fire the steel in a building melts and buckles from the heat. I also I heard the reporters say that a lot of the mansions were many years old when timber was the main material.The whole reason this was so bad is that people had large trees and high dry grass in there back yard and all around which backed onto a hill. Also there was a lot of huge trees on the footpaths that caught fire and the wind blew the embers across the road and set that house on fire....but California is too green to clear any high grass and make fire breaks.
  11. Work for the dole was applied in several small country towns in Australia in 1998. In small towns where the was little employment and the council couldn't afford to employ all of the these workers they were put to work building footpaths,reparing roads, gardening ,cleaning up the streets etc,etc. It was very successful but I think it was curtailed because of pressure from the do - gooders who said that they shouldn't have to work and it's not fair as they can't sleep in until lunchtime every day.
  12. I can't believe that there were enough life jackets for all passengers. the last Thai boat I was on to Phi Phi there were about 100 on board and I could only see 6. When I asked a crew member where are all the life jackets he replied "don't need this good boat not sink.".
  13. Soi 6 would be a good start especialy if youv'e got a pocket full of money and if you ring the bell in a bar you will have a stack of instant friends and you will not get lonely.
  14. I wonder how much the family got in life insurance claims.???
