The totally off-topic thread

Mate of mine worked for Poseidon, in fact I think I sold them a bit of kit too.

Bizarre thing was that there was actually plenty of nickel there. Western Mining ended up developing the deposit. But I think Poseidon developed the technique of 'ore reserves on the back of an envelope' ... :eek:
 
BJ being IV on 730pm now....completely dick!! This is a private matter....and won't confirm the baby is his or not.
 
But how has the media making this public helped his family?
Many current politicians on all sides are in similiar positions.That doesn't make it right But does bring up the question-Who should be allowed to have a private life?
You seriously think that anything the media does for anyone is about those people? I think it’s a fine line. As I posted and was quoted today by KPC, politicians influence all our lives and pretty much control what we do and who we can marry. So it’s a bit trite when that same politician has an adulterous relationship and which is outside the very church guidelines he preaches to others. But on the other hand the lady involved should not have been hounded and identified. I like BJ but was a bit disappointed in this outcome.

Immaculate conception or hes OK with implying his mistress sleeps around and could be pregnant by another man?

Way to go, BJ...

Edit: Personally I dont care about what happens in BJs bedroom or on the office desk. Just dont shove his higher than most family values at us while hes diddlying the staff.
 
Ah, the old one.

Yes, I agree totally with your sentiment, but what do you expect from LNP politicians who wear their religious ‘morals’ on their sleeves during elections. :( (And to be balanced, from many ALP and the others, PH for example.)

Personally I’m not surprised by BJ’s behaviour since it’s more what I expected, but I really don’t care since I don’t vote for him.

And, and, it’s your choice whether to vote for these people with morals or religious views you disagree with.

Policy matters should be being discussed. BJ’s envolvement in moving the AG department to Armadale for base political motives, disrupting many long term valued scientific staff, or his and NP involvement in the Murray Darling basin debacle to benefit friends of the NP are more important for public scrutiny and discussion.

And let’s not even get to RETs, climate change policies, ND scheme, turning Australia into one of the world’s major arms suppliers, the TP treaty potentially destroying the PB scheme, Australian copyright, and govt ability to ban things like cigarette advertising etc...

Policy, not personal.

PS: and pity he’s not more open to scientific discovery and understands contraception.

Friend of mine also made a mozza! :) Like all such stocks, the trick is to not be too greedy and get out before the end. Same as bitcoin. Many made good money. Most amateurs will lose.
 
I made good money shorting the Index the day before the US Presidential election and cashing in less than 6 hours after his election.The ordinary people in the USA we talked to made me feel he would win and there would be an initial panic.
Missed this one.

Colleague placed $100 bet at 8:1 on trump 12 months before election. Bought a good lunch and nice wines!
 
The most expensive hospital in the world, our RAH and one of the most expensive buildings in the world, on a busy Wednesday morning, tested the power supplies. Surgeries in mid stream. Result - Power outed in E block for 20 minutes. Two surgery theatres blacked out mid surgery. A software glitch. Seriously?

Ya think they might test when no surgeries were underway.

I've done some power sensitive works in hospitals and they don't let you anywhere near working unless there's no surgeries happening. We had shifts cancelled because of it. But that's the right way to go about it IMO

Absolutely agree. The excuse just given - it has to be done in peak load. I understand that. But that doesn’t mean when surgery is actually underway. MasterP does industrial fire alarm testing. It’s always out of hours.

And why weren’t the clinical staff advised.

That's scope for the FM to be fired
