    And of course, this puff piece ignored the biggest problem - In very cold weather, they simply turn into a big brick.

    With the emergence of electrified motoring in Australia...

    While the NRMA has been supporting Australian motorists...

    So, to give Australian buyers the clarity needed...

    Just had to ask a van driver to move his motor from blocking my off road parking space.   A week ago the same van was out there for about an hour blocking my space but as I wasn't going anywhere I let it go, the guy left before I needed to use my car. The van was a plumbers business van,

    I did think last week that it was odd that a plumber would be in the house as the owner has his own plumbing contract business, just so happens also that his sexy wife was in the house. The owner was not in the house as he leaves to work 7.30 am everyday. 

    Today, I had to go across to the house to ask for the van to move; just before I got there the wife opens an upstairs window and shouts out that it is her plumber parked there (I knew that). I just asked her to get the guy to move his van further down the road. Anyhow, funnily, it took the guy about a minute to come out of the house and move the van, wonder why. 

    Owner has been having problems with his wife who obviously puts it about, he had left the home for a few months due to previous problems, seems she is still up to her tricks again.

    Really don't care what she does but get your bit on the side to park elsewhere.

    Next time you see the owner just ask him not to block your access with his van.

    I believe with fireworks it's called "light blue touch paper and retire."

    At the end of this morning's bike ride I'd thought I'd relax with a massage. There's an older lady at a massage shop on Klang that waves to me most mornings as I ride by, so as I was looking for a legit massage I thought I'd give her a try.

    I pull up and while locking up my bike I confirm her shop has a shower I can use to cool down a bit before the massage. She said yes, but then went on to explain something about the big boss of the shop going home for Songkran so we'll have to use a different room, but it's a very nice room with a good shower. She then proceeds to lead me down Klang.

    As we're walking I ask her how far and she says not far. So we trudge along about 25m, turn up an adjoining soi, go another 25m and make a another turn into an alley which I then cotton on to is the building where she has a room. She then puts her finger to her lips and motions me to follow her quietly up the stairs. So up, up, up we go until finally we end our ascent on the 6th floor. To her credit she wasn't even breathing hard and while I wasn't either, the climb after a bike ride in the hot sun meant I was seriously overheating. It was also at that point I realized there was a good chance her room was a fan only room. Sure enough, we get to the end of the hall, she unlocks her door and while it's a nice corner room with good breeze from the open windows, it lacks A/C.

    It was also obvious that my hoped for legit massage was not to be and that insead if I stayed I'd probably be treated to the sight of a naked great grandmother. Using my overheated state as an excuse, I explained politely to her that even with her promised very good shower, it will be impossible for me to cool down enough to enjoy a massage. I felt bad for her as she pleaded with me to not go as she has very few customers and very little money, but I quickly left after slipping 100B into her hand for her time.

    You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

  4. Molly the magpie’s 45-day ordeal finally over

    After a tumultuous 45 days in the custody of authorities, Molly the magpie has finally been reunited with its unlikely canine companion.

    Molly the magpie has finally returned to its Gold Coast home and been reunited with its unlikely best friend Peggy the Staffy.

    Queensland’s Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI) made the announcement on Monday, marking the end of a 45-day saga that gripped the nation.

    “(DESI) has approved a specialised license and today returned ‘Molly’ the magpie to a couple who took it in as a nestling in 2020,” the department revealed in a statement.

    Molly was surrendered on March 1st and was determined to be unfit for rehabilitation or return to the wild due to developmental issues. Picture: Facebook / Peggy and Molly.

    Not even a face "its" mother could love.

    You've gotta wonder, did it start out with a night out with a couple of mates and a skinful of piss...

    Nah, just too much Pap & Kaiings.

     

    Kaiings, a chewy traditional Boer delicacy often served. as a topping over "pap". Kaiings are made from small. cubes of pork in a cast iron pot over a "slow" fire and. are the leftover pieces of pork after extracting the pork.

    Pap, /ˈpʌp/, also known as mieliepap (Afrikaans for maize porridge) in South Africa, is a traditional porridge/polenta and a staple food of the African peoples of Southern Africa (the Afrikaans word pap is taken from Dutch and means merely "porridge") made from maize-meal (coarsely ground maize).
