It's actually Pax Hill Pizza in Traralgon, in the Latrobe Valley, east of Melbourne, in Victoria, (03) 5174 2980.

Indeed it is, I hadn't even thought to comment on that as the company was mentioned in some of the attachments, not what I had written. Some people here would have been aware of Woolworths RSA as it had owned the main Sydney-based department store (David Jones) for a while (and lost heavily). It apparently still owns Country Road, an Australian fashion brand.

In a case that has been simmering ('unintended' cooking pun) for some time, today the Federal Court handed down its judgment on a false and misleading advertising case against one of the two big supermarket chains here. Penalties are expected to be substantial. There is a parallel investigation into the practices of the other big chain. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/court-finds-that-coles-misled-customers-over-down-down-claims https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c202159x6x3o https://theconversation.com/coles-discounts-misled-shoppers-court-rules-it-could-face-hundreds-of-millions-in-fines-282855

In search of his own holy grail?

Yes, he is an Anglican priest in Canada, and he does post photos of his dog and sometimes (less often with, or of, his husband).

42.

Teva has projected travel to Vancouver and Montréal next month. This can stay in the Deli for now and we'll reconsider its placement after that.

If that were the case, the number on the sign at the servo would be less intimidating.

I saw this comment in a political blog, about a politician whom some consider to he dull and unmemorable but who has risen to a position of considerable power. It seems perfect for a dependable yet unremarkable person, reliable in most circumstances but who fails to inspire. 'He looks like the guy in the photo that comes with the frame.'

It would seem there's a boundary between your sense of humour and his.

Or by the litre.

Err, no.

In most major events there are interesting vignettes related to them. In this case, one of the passengers on the ship was dropped home to Tristan da Cunha in mid April and subsequently developed symptoms of the disease. The response required, from the British Army and the Royal Air Force, is extraordinary. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgzv77ldpdo

A cute re-imagination of the tradition from my younger years when people would receive a telegram from the Queen on their hundredth birthday.

Posting this in a forum about television and streaming services seems to diminish the man in a way that he doesn't deserve but that in a way is entirely appropriate given that the work for which he is most famous found its place almost entirely in that medium. David Attenborough is the second of three brothers, all of whom had significant careers, he and his older brother, Richard, the Baron Attenborough, achieving public fame. Today, 8 May, is his one hundredth birthday, one which he had planned to celebrate quietly but about which, he said, others had different ideas. The 'different ideas' are a fitting way to celebrate his 100 years of Life on Earth. Sally Sara had a beautiful interview on ABC Radio National Breakfast with Mike Gunton, the Creative Director of the BBC Natural History Unit, with whom he had worked for decades. https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/radionational-breakfast/sir-david-attenborough-celebrates-100th-birthday/106652750

We have considered this question in the past but decided it wasn't clear that there was sufficient demand. Although perhaps now less than before, there appears to be a significant cross-over of escorts who operate in both countries. One interim measure members could take is to add a tag to topics (as I have now done with this one) or a Canadian flag to the title.

A full year before I first saw him.

That's far further off topic than anything I've seen here in ages. Or is that an off topic? Tangent closed!

'Indoor fins'!

I saw one of those at an airport. I didn't respond to it. I just thought, WTAF, rating a loo? God give me strength!

Gentlemen, we had a 'solution' to the question on 18 April, but the conversation was still continuing with useful new perspectives being offered. We've now come to the point where there are few if any new insights and the conversation has run its course, so comments are now closed.

I agree with the other praise of Mike. There's no shortage of comments about him here. There's one extensive, older thread about him: Or a search of the site for his last name reveals comments on threads that are not about just him. https://www.companyofmen.org/search/?q=gaite&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=newest

Damn, I didn't see that when I was there this week. FMD.

There was not, although he had posted here on 13 April, alas without a link to his ad in a signature. There is a separate thread on him, in which he made an engaging intervention (on 6 April 2024).
