  1. As far as I recall it was a requirement to re-enter Australia (except for coming from NZ), not destination-specific.
  2. I dug out my yellow book when I had my Covid shots (book not needed) and checking it just now, I had my smallpox vax in 1976 for an overseas trip and a revaccination in 1980. The notes in the book say the certificate is valid for three years.
  3. The qualification rounds are now over and the teams to meet in Qatar in November are decided, now let the tournament begin. But first. AUSTRALIA DEFEATS PERÚ 5-4 ON PENALTIES Australia has qualified the hard way finishing third in one of the two Asian qualification groups. We had to defeat the third place getter in the other group, the UAE [2-1 last week], and then the 5th place South American team, both games played in Qatar. That was Perú.
  4. One of the conspicuous cases of food price inflation in this country has been for the price of lettuce to rocket*. This thread quote tweets a tweet from the Queensland police, and the comments are worth a read. The one about the police having to 'seize her salad' in a favourite of mine. https://twitter.com/ItsBouquet/status/1536236228131323905?s=20&t=QnQGTLcHmtE5Lcx5HDbdxQ *what Americans call arugula is called rocket here.
  5. Moderator's Note It is probably about time to circle back to the topic of the thread and away from the constitutional issues beyond the succession that surround the monarchy (and comparisons with other systems). We'll take action as appropriate with posts that stray too far into the political realm.
  6. You're making quite the art-form today of misunderstanding everything to do with the subject.
  7. Bon anniversaire.
  8. Bon anniversaire!!!
  9. This is incredibly sad news, for her friends and family of course, but also for those of us here who followed her posts. Vale, you Salty Broad.
  10. So, our own Jubilee to mark that other one.
  11. Series would be fine, parallel not so much!
  12. Stop laughing, it's a picture of two hands, a wash basin and a tap*. * Perhaps some of you may say 'faucet'.
  13. Happy Saturday afternoon (AEDT), and it's 452 to to with one hour left on Friday (EDT)!
  14. My previous car (current one is diesel) 'required' premium. Had knocking issues on hills and sometimes under acceleration with regular, and fuel economy was better with premium. Both were Citroëns.
  15. That's as may be, is it enough reason to fly with them?
  16. I saw him in San Jose when I was visiting SF, one hour each way on CalTrain was pretty easy, and at the time he was close to the station.
  17. I'm not sure that posters uniformly recognised the double entendre in this question.
  18. That may be helpful for you to rationalise some [imo unwarranted] guilt but I don't think it's fair to 'blame' the wives. You can't know what prompted the men to have relationships with you much less that it was something lacking in their marriages that the wives were capable of redressing. Unless of course the men told you directly. Your regrets are entirely understandable but I don't think there is anything you need to take the blame for, or for you to find anyone else who should.
  19. Agree with other posters, I spent a very pleasant few hours wandering around the museum last time I was in Palm Springs.
  20. A saucer of cream for the table in the corner.
  21. My understanding is that the last case of smallpox in the wild was in 1977, and that the WHO determined that it had been eradicated by 1980. The virus still exists in labs. (Polio, on the other hand, exists only in a couple of places on the planet, but has been eliminated in the developed world.)
  22. Moderator's Note Please stop personalising the discussion, and attack the issues not other posters. This is about what the current state of the Covid pandemic is, and that can include differing assessments of what the data mean. If you challenge what someone else has concluded, do that without challenging their professional competency or intellectual capacity to draw their conclusion.
