Nobody mentioned clean underwear in case you are hit by a bus.

Why not take a trip to Thailand.

How's the wrist?

Try flying QANTAS. Hags and fags.

I have no problem transferring money between banks online.

No testing. Use a first flush diverter system that drains away all the crud etc from the first rainfall then allows the clean water into the tanks. Some settling will take place in the tanks but I've never needed to empty the tanks for cleaning to date. I inspect them yearly. Always quite clean. Bear in mind each tank is 22,000 litres and I've got two so there is plenty of capacity and time for anything making it past the inlet screens to settle out. Don't use any filters,UV, RO or whatever. I know some people throw a bottle of bleach in their tanks from time to time but I've never bothered. The tanks are built for purpose and there are no entry points for birds, bugs or reptiles etc. the inlet and overflows are screened. Mosquitoes can't get in. Most of my neighbours have the same setup. The only neighbour I know that used bore water for drinking put in rainwater tanks after his wife developed kidney stones. Bear in mind this setup is not in Thailand. When in Thailand we buy bottled water for cooking and drinking and bore water for the toilet, shower and gardens. Wife's mum collects rainwater in ongs. She lets the first rain go the ground then puts the Flexi pipe into the tanks. She covers them with lids with very fine netting underneath. In effect she is doing what I do manually.

Depends on which hemisphere you live in.

I've been drinking rainwater for forty years. No harm apparent so far.

Huh?

So is Mohammed but it doesn't seem to stop the lunatic Islamic cultists.

Put her in a bunker and get 100 Hamas freedom fighters to rape her. Give her something to whine about.

How so? Islam is not a race.

Hope not.

Nothing apparently.

That was very hard to ## read##.

Why? The Egyptians built a wall to keep them out that Donald Trump would be proud of. Why the support? Murdering those poor kids at a music concert. Sending missiles into Israel on a daily basis. Chanting from the river to the sea, meaning no more Israel. And doing this in protests in the west. By the LGBTQ whatever as well, who wouldn't last long in any Islamic country Why? I really can't understand it.

I think a lot of what you are saying about the parents is no longer true in 2025. Maybe in 1975. Or if you listen to the NGO's who generally have no clue. I think the trafficking is far worse into western Europe from eastern European nations. No shortage of eastern European hookers in Thailand.

Ok

Thanks for the info

Correct. A good tv show about that. Curious how they have ravens in the Tower when outside they are called crows. Edit just looked it up. Same family of birds but different. Same same but different as the wife would say.

Not sure if you will survive as the nation you are now in a thousand years. Good chance you will be a nuclear armed Islamic state in 50 years and cease to exist shortly afterwards.

Likely that they will be sold off as the others were. Did you see the crown where all of the previous gemstone are missing? Sold off to pay debts. Can't remember the Kings name who had to do that. Might have been one of the Charles's.

From Mountbatten or in the original Germanic Battenburg.

You were a republic at one point. Oliver Cromwell made that happen. As another King Charles found out.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed traveling around Pennsylvania, New Jersey , Delaware, Maryland etc. But it is just not the same as Australia or Canada, as I understand it, for wide open spaces which is what this thread is about. As I said before city people just don't get it. Suburbia included. Not a condemnation of city people but until you experience a really big place, with very few people, it will be hard to comprehend what the OP is going through. To get some perspective, where I grew up land size was measured in 100's or 1000's of square miles not acres. My idea of fun was riding motorbikes on a salt lake with friends The lake was 19 miles wide and 29 miles long. Not big by local standards. It was a tiny part of the bigger sheep station that encompassed the mining town I grew up in. I saw a world record motorbike speed attempt on a salt lake just south of this one. Treble the size. To be honest 90% of Australians wouldn't know about what the OP is talking about as most live in the 5 major cities.
