  1. I do have a soft spot for fuking pommy kunts. I'm stunned by this Sam Kerr brouhaha. Why not just call plod a fuking pommy kunt like most Australians would.
  2. Anyone who walks with a spring in their step has their spring in the wrong place.
  3. 10 minute email address. Read all about it. https://10minutemail.com/ Basically an email address that lets you get the validation link, validate yourself and then it's gone.
  4. If you get the nitrogen for free, no problem. If you pay for it, sucker, I've got a bridge for sale. https://autoexpert.com.au/posts/top-10-reasons-why-nitrogen-wont-help-your-tyres Plus many more, even from tyre manufacturers.
  5. ^^^ There are always exceptions.
  6. Bad hare day. Ghastly scene as 50 hares killed in sleepy English town A horrifying scene greeted people in a quiet English town as they discovered the carcasses of 50 hares. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/ghastly-scene-as-50-hares-killed-in-sleepy-english-town/news-story/e9bae75d56cce015cab88450b035176c
  7. Watch out for the pips. Oh for the life of a lotus-eater.
  8. ^^^ Wot he said. You need to determine if the scratches are through the clear coat or not. Plenty of vids on YouTube on car detailing, some even by professionals. I'd be looking at those forst.
  9. That is so "last century". Get with the program.
  10. ^^^ It's got "ball room?"
  11. They'll probably find they are all lard, no substance.
  12. I could. Without using my VPN it told me to bugger off because I wasn't in the UK or Isle of Mann. With the VPN pointing at a UK server I got as far as the login screen. Not having a login I could go no further but I did get further than I had before.
  13. But were they cables or conduits? Edit. The pipes appear to have stripes down them which means they are HDPE conduits/pipes. The colour of the stripe denotes the use. IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR CODING FOR HDPE PIPES Since HDPE pipes are suitable to such a wide range of applications, a colour coding scheme has been implemented to make it easy for professionals and technicians to accurately identify the purpose and contents of pipes. This coding system simplifies the process of handling and installing HDPE pipes, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring the overall safety and efficiency of the systems they are integrated into. Let’s explore the HDPE colour coding system and what each colour signifies: EXPLANATION OF AUSTRALIAN (IPLEX) & AMERICAN (ATKORE) HDPE PIPE COLOUR CODING The colour coding system for HDPE pipes typically involves coloured stripes or bands on the exterior of the pipes. These stripes indicate the type of fluid or gas the pipe is designed to carry, the pressure rating, and other essential information. Understanding this system is crucial for anyone working with HDPE pipes to ensure they are used correctly. COMMON COLOURS USED HDPE pipes in Australia can come with various coloured stripes, each serving a specific purpose. Below, we’ll discuss the most common colours used and their meanings, along with some typical applications: RED STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Red stripes on an HDPE pipe usually indicate that pipes are dedicated fire-extinguishing supply mains. Common Applications: Firefighting systems, fire-extinguishing supply mains, emergency water supply. BLUE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Blue stripes typically signify that the HDPE pipe is intended for potable (drinkable) water. They are designed to meet strict quality standards for water distribution, which can be consumed. Common Applications: Municipal water supply, residential water distribution. YELLOW STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Yellow stripes indicate that the HDPE pipe is meant for gas, fuel gas or coal seam gas. These pipes have the necessary pressure ratings and safety features for carrying natural gas. Common Applications: Natural gas distribution, industrial gas lines. GREEN STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Green stripes on an HDPE pipe are often associated with Imperial Rural/Raw Water also known as rain water. These pipes usually run in rural areas, where rain water collection is critical. Common Applications: Rainwater harvesting. ORANGE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Orange-striped HDPE pipes are typically used for electrical conduit applications. Common Applications: Underground electrical and communication lines. PURPLE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Purple stripes can indicate reclaimed or recycled water pipes. These pipes are used to transport treated wastewater for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation as well as slurry lines. Common Applications: Reclaimed water systems. GREY STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Grey-striped HDPE pipes are often used to signify gravity sewers. These systems use a network of pipes, which rely on gravity to transport raw waste to treatment plants. Common Applications: Gravity sewage systems. CREAM STRIPES Meaning and Significance: Cream stripes may be used for Sewer Rising Main. Rising mains are pipes carrying sewage from a pumping station to another discharge point, like a sewer or a sewage treatment facility. Common Applications: Pressurised sewer applications. WHITE STRIPES Meaning and Significance: White stripes are used for communication conduits and/or mine sites in order to reduce the heat load on above-ground transfer. Common Applications: Used to identify communication conduits and in mining to lower the heat load on transfer lines above ground. https://worldpoly.com/hdpe-pipe-coloured-stripes-meaning/ On the other hand the color coding doesn't appear to be universal. Another color scheme. HDPE Color Code mean Solid red or red stripes: electric power lines, cable, conduit and lighting cables Solid orange or orange stripes: telecommunications, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit Solid yellow or yellow stripes: methane or propane fuel gas, petroleum, steam or gaseous materials Solid green or green stripes: sewers or drain lines Solid blue or blue stripes: potable water Solid purple/lavender or purple/lavender stripes: reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines Solid black: any application where the pipe is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time
  14. The Health Ministry said 107 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of fatalities to 29,092 since the start of the war. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its records, but says around two-thirds of those killed were women and children. More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning. The Health Ministry is part of the Hamas-run government in Gaza but maintains detailed records of casualties. Its figures from previous wars in Gaza have largely matched those of U.N. agencies, independent experts and even Israel’s own tallies. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/more-than-29000-palestinians-have-been-killed-in-gaza-since-wars-start-health-ministry-says
  15. There's coconut milk and then there's coconut milk... Just add water.
  16. You don't think the Irgun or Stern Gang had a hand in starting things?
  17. I'd put up with fluffy hairdos and pointy tits again if it would knock 50 years off my age.
