True, but not in England.

Brilliant!

The fact that a lot of church property ended up in Henry's hands had a bit* to do with it as well.

I think Vance is actually a Catholic, so that'd be a hard no (unless he converts to the Episcopalian church).

Maybe. But it's a really hard choice either way.

I think the real problem is that it will almost certainly fail, and both of them will die anyway. There are some things that just can't be fixed.

It's probably the most important news story this _decade_, but I can't see it getting much coverage.

It's all about sucking Trump's dick just right.

He probably figures (rightly) that Cheeto Benito will've forgotten everything by the time he gets home.

I can't say I'm surprised. This really is the most timid government we've ever had.

Sadly, this applies more broadly to any technology invented after about 1950.

Adelaide water is potable, but not exactly drinkable, particularly when, at certain times of the year, it comes out of the Murray River.

It's a bit better now, but when I was a child, it looked and tasted like mud.

Unbelievable.

If you'd ever been to Adelaide, you'd know why people filter their water.

The brand name's pretty funny, though.

Kinda calls everything he's ever done into question.

I expect better from senior (or even junior) officers.

I have had a "Never Optus" policy since 2010 when, my phone then being with Optus because my employer had a contract, I went to Bendigo for a week and had no phone from the time I left Tailem Bend until I got back to Tailem Bend.

Two big assumptions, that they can read, and that they've heard of Kilcullen.

Group work always sucks.

Why?

Haven't you worked out this is a scam yet?

What is the matter with these people?

You'd think an Oxford professor (or even one of their marketeers) would realise the whole thing's a scam.

Killer rhythm section, too. Love the bass player's tone.

Yeah, they really cook. Tempted to buy the whole album.

That's really interesting.

Oh, that is so fucking good.

It was certainly interesting, and actually sounds like pretty much the same band. I just think the arrangement for 801 was a bit tighter.

20.09.2025 12:56 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Think I prefer the 801 version.

That's a rather nice version of it.

Just another reason to never vote for them.

Not that I needed it. I still haven't forgiven them for Vietnam and conscription.

Just another reason (as if I needed one) to never vote for them.
