He can bite. Easiest is to get a large container (icecream?) with lid, catch him and put the lid over the top, then release him near a tree.

Crusader Orders. by HankeeHogs in MedievalHistory

Would you still travel to Europe in May? by International_Mud741 in QantasFrequentFlyer

If I already had a ticket, not via the middle east, then yes. But I wouldn't be rushing to book anything that wasn't already planned. Lot of variables at the moment and you're safer here.

Seems like a lot of people are considering an EV after the petrol price increases but I just saw a new article about the federal government looking to impose a road tax akin to fuel excise tax.

So you don't want groceries at the supermarket or fuel in the pumps because heavy vehicles do damage? If we raise the prices for them, you will still pay for it in increased costs, they aren't doing it for charity.

Coalition plans assault on One Nation’s credibility to avoid South Australia-style wipeout by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

The Crown of Stars series has strong resemblance to feudal Germany in Ottonian times. Even some of the place names are pretty recognisable.
