Parents should be forced to take a test before naming their kids.

I haven't been there in years. Great restaurant.

Hmmm, sounds a bit like a hippy place to me, "The Young Ones" anyone.

They also should be forced to lock up their firearms if there are youngsters around! (9 years old, for heavens sake).

It was in LOTFAP so what would you expect. That said there have been some cases in AU where kids have accessed firearms that were not stored correctly.

And was it on here or FB where there was a report that in light of the pup that died a US senator (?) was intending to bring in legislation to outlaw the carrying of animals in overhead lockers on planes. The comparison was made with school shootings and the lack of action on gun control.

Co worker being sent to UK for a trip and has baby and husband to take as well. Her dilemma, company pays for J but husband goes Y.

I suggested she look other than BA or SQ, like Air China ect - space & comfort is their priority, dont care about food and quality of wine.

For many that’s not a dilemma

Pretty sure my husband would sob ugly tears if I shoved him in Y.

And tomorrow is Down Syndrome day so a reminder..

You're probably right. Wife in business and husband and daughter in economy. Although I think wife would want to join us.

Their business model is certainly interesting - pay what you think the meal is worth. But they are still going.

Glamping in the Adelaide hills?

Dont think im ready for a "Digital detox"... I need a Kindle at least.

I don't get glamping when you have to go without stuff and pay twice as much

Another listeria death from rockmelon. So sad.

Now this is incredible sad.

World's last male northern white rhino euthanised aged 45

The world's last male northern white rhino has died, the Kenyan conservancy taking care of him says, leaving only two female members of the subspecies alive in the world.

 

[Cossie]

Well I'm shocked!

Not really, I thought this would be the end result, at least I now don't anyone a beer, well actually i still owe Rooflyer a beer, but that's another story.

What a travesty! Smith did not change his line when walking off.

After the officials supporting the cough-shaming of Warner’s wife, I’m starting to severely dislike the SAs.

JohnK will be pleased.

Yep, another example of the greed of the human race, it, unfortunately knows no bounds.

Coffee beans that have gone through the bowels of cats, keep them in horrible small cages producing coffee for those connoisseurs that reside on the Sunshine Coast (amongst other places) to enjoy, what sort of life is that for the cats?

Next people will be saying it's ok to keep Sun Bears in cages to farm their bile, what a horrid race we really are.

This of course "is my opinion", which I'm reliably informed by those that post here regularily, I'm quite entitled to express

Ah yes, the opinion opinion...

Very sad how firearms are so easily accessible by so many irresponsible people.

For my recent abandonment in EDI, the claim has been processed and all expenses have been settled (including the laundry, thanks for pushing me Denali!).

Anyone else affected by LHR snow delays?

Travel insurance or airline? That is very quick. Well done.
