I was driving west from Sydney over the Blue Mountains today, and in Blackheath (elevation 1050m temperature 6ºC) at a stop at traffic lights the border collie in the back of the pick-up in front of me climbed out of the truck onto the road (over the back, not the side where there might be oncoming traffic). I was alarmed for the moment, but then I noticed that the driver had opened the rear driver's side door of the cabin. The dog calmly walked down the side of the truck and climbed into the cab. Those moments when you wish you had a dashcam!

True, but I think we got what they meant.

I admit I haven't met any Marines in the context envisaged in this forum, but over my years I have met hundreds of American servicemen and women. Typically the Marines are the smartest, most thoughtful and most intellectual. Not all, of course. And no, that is not setting a low bar. SF

An easy test to pass if that is measured in centimetres, I wouldn`t much like the idea if it were in inches.

Indeed, Gov Scott has so ordained. No preëxisting condition coverage for you!

I was hitherto unaware that there was a form of privilege in having good mental health.

Wow, amazing random luck that the other profile came up. You can edit your original post to show that you made a typo, and refer people to the link you provided in post #4.

Cancer is a severe human weakness and self-destruction merely advances a better evolutionary gene pool. What utter nonsense, mental illness and depression are not genetically based, there is a host of causes. Mental illness happens in the most nurturing of families. Hoping that mentally ill people will die will not reduce the future incidence of illness.

Really Travis, Shuck ain't lustin afta nobody, she's a good Christian married woman. Wash yer mouth out.

Last visit to RM 26 Dec 2009. I don't like your chances.

I've posted elsewhere on this subject (Friday Funnies, I think) without thinking to check in this forum. Another article, this time in a bit more detailed about the team's visit to Yass. The video in the article was in one of my earlier posts. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/jun/06/yass-queens-queer-eye-cast-descend-on-rural-australian-town-for-mini-makeover

I cycled it. Well as far as Los Angeles, not San Diego. But that was some time ago.

(From the Oxford Dictionary) congress noun 4 [mass noun] The action of coming together. ‘sexual congress’

Reminds me of *Tangent alert* Fiat means `fix it again, Tony`.

I think that applies particularly to yachts! Or, 'Standing in the shower tearing up $50 notes'.

That may indeed have been why TB didn't have time to answer them! He answered mine when they started, 'I might be in your area some time in the next 12 months' or some such.

Not that that will influence your day, of course! I expect that national sex day in Australia will be on 6 Sep.

That's a bit harsh, you get likes based on saying things that people like or agree with, not on whether you're a nice guy. That said, this was not Exhibit A in the museum of getting likes.

Happy birthday to a great guy! Hope you have a wonderful day, Mike!

He has never been to Australia.
