I would say I'm still waiting for people to dress like this below, but then I remember Miley Cyrus exists...

On the plus side, at least those utopias from The Running Man, Escape from New York/Los Angeles and Soylent Green haven't come to pass...yet.

That we are aware of... ;)  :o

OTOH, the nostalgia of Trench Warfare and mass bombing of civilian populations are back... so we have that going for us... :banghead:

Going away for a few (OK, six) days, to see the eldest daughter in Port Lincoln & the grandmonsterssons.  ;D  ;)

Catch you on the flipside! :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Take care, Mr and Mrs Wombat; safe travel.  :thumbsup:

We're ba-ack!  :wacko:  :wacko:


But have, unfortunately, picked up a viral bug from the youngest grandson.

Ah, well, it was worth it!  ;D  ;D

Hope you are all well again soon.  :thumbsup:

Thanks, Rick!  :thumbsup:

Just a heads-up; I don't drink beer, I do drink cider, bourbon, scotch (both mixed - apologies to the connoisseurs) & good wines (esp. SA reds). Pies are obvious (I'm Australian & I'm alive ... Actually, in an Australian zombie apocalypse if you just put a few hot pies out over some acid-filled pit traps, you'd probably survive OK).

The lurgy is a simple rhinovirus, so the most common form of "cold" bug. Doc has given me a few days off work, so I don't spread the love.

Fair enough.

I never got the taste for beer, either.  <_<

Rick.  Tooheys is Sydney beer.  It should be hidden lest someone thinks you chose to buy it rather than having had it left in your house by a visitor (the only acceptable explanation for it being there).
As a South Australian, should Womby choose to acquire beer he would buy Coopers or West End.

Ah, my mistake - lack of local knowledge, you see... the only other Aussie beers I knew of were VB, Fosters and XXXX.

And being too bone idle to go to the length of researching the localities of Members vs regional beers...   ;D
