"When you die, you don't know you are dead, but it adversely affects all those around you. Same goes for STUPID"

I am really looking forward to your updates, I wish your fine young bug health and bugginess.

Come on, the scots really have so little music to be proud of, let's just let them believe that acca dacca was a Scottish band.😁

In my previous life I created an "all things to everyone" utility programming package and lovingly named it the Esky. When I took it to our Vancouver office they all had an apoplectic shock reaction. I renamed it when they explained what it meant to them.

I love the photo, but I was more focussed on how generous you were giving the other person so much of your time.

Love the colour and the landscape, but I may be a little biased because I love that country.

As a piece of trivia, one Matrix battle scene was set on the roof of the building where I worked. So I really identified with the heroes.

I found your two choices interesting. The Matrix fits my measure of plausibility, but Dr Who does not. I grew up with Dr Who but, once I started studying physics, the whole concept just fell apart in my head. My psychology studies made Matrix a fascination.

If you go down the rabbit hole of movie logic then you will never come out. My current movie hate is where the good guy gets hit across the head with an iron bar, then gets back up and lays out the bad guy with one punch. The goody would be dead.

If the human in the pod didn't look like the human image in the computer then how would the viewing audience be able to figure out just who is who. Also surely, just like a zoom meeting with AI, the matrix would have little cameras in the pod to generate a look alike, seems pretty simple to me

In his unwavering support of the slaughter of Palestinian children, why would anyone think that he could care less about these children. He's a spineless zionist lapdog.

Haha, still a baby. I got my first superbike at 52. My wife got her first( of many) sportsbike at 52. You have so much untapped power in your 50's.
I hope that it is really good for you!

I have kids & grandkids and I feel the same. The only consolation I have is that every generation gets a different world and doesn't really know the world their ancestors had. Sooner or later humans will end the 🌎 so some generation will be there. Sad for them, but live/love while you can.

Yes, whilst explaining to me how Oz is not at all racist, my relatives will go on to explain how it's the "muzzies" and the "abos" who stir it all up. I've lived and worked in a dozen countries and every time I came home I was hit by the racism here.

People don't want to know. I dealt with a covid infection for 2 years before I started to feel normal again. I warned what it was like, the only response I got was "oh that's not good". And still they asked why I wouldn't go the the pub on a friday night and why I still wore that mask even at work.

Welcome to the land of overt racism. The land of punching down. I am sorry and not a little embarrassed that you received such an education here.

I've always been a little in love with red headed women. A kind of mystical aura about them. But poorlean damaged that for me.

This is really extraordinary. Just looking at the top half, I thought I was looking at beautiful abstract art. It is only when I saw the whole photo that I realised. You have a great eye for beauty and an even greater talent to capture it.

I started playing pong, but video games really didn't appeal to me. Was not too happy with my sons' "obsession" with them. But now my grandkids are playing & I can see their coordination and logic development. Different perspective for me now.

Haha, rabbits! My father's family name is Williams, when I did the family tree I had to lay it out on A0 sheets to fit them all in. My farmer uncle complained about rabbit plagues, but I think the Williams plague was bigger. And now also Cobcrofts.

Agreed. But six months in a leaky boat.....

That could be a photo of my bed this morning. We have exactly the same pair, a ginge and a bluey.

And so, here you are because they met in such awful circumstances and went on to create a life and a family. Stories like this are really wonderful.

That last line is why I love following you on here! I was reading these out to my wife and when I got to that line, she raised her eyebrows and burst out laughing. Which is why I love her.

So 158 people died but your ancestor was not one of them. I often marvel at the freakish odds that led to us each being here. It makes me appreciate, even more, the life I have been given.

Seriously, does anyone ever talk about the courage possessed by people like Tristan? Sending love and best wishes that their life powers onward toward everything they want it to be. Including lots of health, happiness and love.

I would happily vote for a healthy man who has healthy sex with grown up women. Orban probably hasn't even seen his penis for decades under that bulging gut, I doubt he could even have healthy consensual sex with anything.

IOC is terrified of upsetting ruzzia. They would let them back in if they thought they could get away with it.
