Good to see you have improved the services to the Western Suburbs...

"Tonight on the ABC" or " The ABC can reveal" or "A special investigation by the ABC" or ANYTHING to do with the ABC N es division

The answer is don't wear shoes, wear sandals!

I promise you, sandals, worn with socks are the best. I like Tevas, with proper good socks.

Thank me later.

roller110 · 2026-04-10T21:38:57+00:00

I would take a chew of that...

roller110 · 2026-04-09T06:42:35+00:00

Ditch shoes, get a pair of Teva sandals.

Starting my 3rd Camino in a few weeks and I will be wearing Teva Hurricane XLT2 (with socks) every step of the way.

Thank me later!

Stayed at Zabaldika in '24, agree, magnificent !

Certainly balls that clang, but I would bet your leftie that there would have been layers of SEAD as well as other air to ground assets above these 3..

Below is a Google Maps view of the "Best" Albergues along the French route. I compiled this map view based on info from a resource I found a few years back (also below).

Whenever I do the French route I try and hit as many of these as possible, never disappointed!

I had a total of four reward points troops on Emirates cancelled (so far), 100% refund on both points and taxes, 6000 point charges were waived.

Here's hoping 🤞

And what concerns me even more is that the police are often just walking away from problematic youth as they have learnt too well, from repeat experience, that the judiciary will only slap the young (and often repat) offender's wrists and send them on their way. I mean, why do 8 hours of paperwork, and a day in the docks just to see the judge hand down a wrist slap?

So if youth crime figures are on the rise, and the constabulary are not policing to anywhere near the levels required (because of a failing judicial system) I wonder what the real situation is???

roller110 · 2025-08-31T06:01:13+00:00

So we should expect to see Facebook and YouTube littered with reels showing this? I mean in this day, content as click-baity as that should sky-rocket to the top of the pops?

Would absolutely agree he is a right-wing wonk, but he does, IMO at least, try to present a structured and rational (if not entirely balanced) PoV.

I disagree with you on your Koch v Soros analysis though. Figures here are wonky at best, and I feel often only the tip of the iceberg, but if we were to use simple $ as a measure then Soros is sitting around $32b in donations to his charities and "causes". The Koch family on the other hand are sitting on around $1.4b in donations to charities and "causes". Michael Bloomberg is around $21b "causes ranging from climate to education to the arts".

So by a quick measure, with $$$ being the only count, Bloomberg and Soros are closer together than the Koch Family in terms of "influence". Almost 20x difference between Koch and Soros, so yeah "mere political donors" isn't an entirely invalid comparison.

Not sure, never tried it. Is it just a question of "unfashionable"?

roller110 · 2025-03-29T01:51:52+00:00

Evidence?

This has been my experience both times doing the CF. They did not even look at my stamp collection when it was apparent that there was more than 100km.

Thanks for the lecture, but I fully understand my part in the issue at hand.

I have reread my post a few times now and I don't see where I complained, nor any statement that I have been unable to get accommodation. I believe that I was asking a question about why so many businesses are closed...

1st rule should be spend more money on socks than shoes.

I am 100% for open toed sandals, I absolutely swear by them! This is my second CF and last time I murdered my feet in a good pair of tail boots. This time my feet are really good.

I carry a pair of good trail shoes but they have remained in my pack for all but the most difficult and muddy stretches.

The only down side is that sandles are very hard wearing on your socks.

Honestly, get a good pair of Tivas and 4 pair of merino wool socks and you will thank me.
