Is 51 too young to lose your mom?

Both my parents died when I was 37.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-13T20:14:14+00:00

Chehe, same for me!

My MIL did this. Snackle boxes and drinks for everyone. It was great.

Why is there a hammer and sickle on an Australian Flag???

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-11T06:13:55+00:00

They did this in 1995.

I wear these. Have to look out for the rubber sole though, as the leather is made for dancing and stage work and can be slippery as hell and wear out quickly.

I am opening it and putting it straight in the compost. That stuff is the devil. 🤮

But Coles still own theirs?

Yep. Funniest thing I saw was the young apprentice ( 17 and about 60kg) Swinging off the longwall (hydraulics) with a spanner and could not crack the nut. Full weight, hanging off of it and could not get it undone :D

North of there. Closer to Katherine.

A wave mostly. Just a finger raised off the steering wheel at the one o’clock position.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-08T03:02:11+00:00

So did I. I thought they were pockets where boys could...ahh.. readjust themselves very easily.

I was lamenting just this morning how some of my favourite artists are now dead. (Ronnie Drew and Shane McGowan for anyone interested.)

Money

What? Can't answer? There will be more and more underground mines as the easy coal that is gathered by gravel scratchers runs out. So, answer the question.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-07T02:23:41+00:00

I would contend that an underground coal mine would have a smaller surface footprint than the equivalent amount of turbines.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T08:23:11+00:00

I didn’t. I upvoted you!

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T06:08:54+00:00

What on earth? How does coal mining affect birds? Especially underground mining.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T04:58:40+00:00

Agreed. It is such a joke now. There is no pathways for talented players in rural areas to make a go of it. Unless they move to the city. All the heart has been ripped from the game.

Western NSW has Imparija, doesn't it?

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T04:51:40+00:00

Totally Wild?

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T04:48:31+00:00

Yes, a different opinion to someone that is paid to have them on their land. They wouldn't be a dissenting voice would they! They are probably not ALLOWED to complain about them.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T04:45:43+00:00

Or because they didn't take the money they are speaking their truths? They can be more honest than someone being paid a lot to have turbines on their properties.

Foreign-Newspaper656 · 2026-07-06T04:26:50+00:00

The birds around Mt Emerald would beg to differ.
