If someone planted one, and managed to keep it
alive, would it then be the Unusarbor? Because it
would have one tree?
As to Prime Ministers, I think you had one
twice and that's made counting them extremely
more difficult than saying six and being happy
I didn't say seven. And I had to Wiki for that one.
edit: expect an edit at any time, people
Yes, like Cecht said. Perth.
It's when accountants and lawyers pointed their
big clients at a way to avoid tax, by throwing
their waterproof company assets into the
nearest body of water. Then it was made illegal
So now they point them at other methods* instead
* I learnt of some of them when I was doing my articles, and wasn't impressed either. No
Another edit, people. I did say...
Quote:
they waited for him to tell them he too saw a problem....IDIOTS!!!
That happened. Yes. But not before denying for 4
days that there was a problem.
Which are, interestingly, the same four days that
came after the last day it worked... which just
happened to also be the day I spoke to them
about calls I was receiving (alleging to be from
them) informing me my contract with BT was being
terminated.
At midnight.
Yes.
It wasn't, because it wasn't BT ringing, so, I
was, in that call, then offered BT's "call blocker
service" and told it would be 24 hours before it
was activated.
And 24 hours later, whenever the phone rang it just
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'd
instead of the brr-brr...brr-brr...brr-brring it
used to do.
And there was never anybody there, but I could dial
out... sometimes. And then it stopped making any
kind of noises at all. And I couldn't.
And the engineer has just left, saying he can't fix it
and that I must call to make another appointment...
but it took well over 2 hours to make that one!
Something about a cupboard was also said...that he couldn't get into. Yes...
And now I have to go out cos there's some emergency or other :/
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Okay Mike Hewson, what's the point total now, huh?, huh? Note that Anniet gave me credit for "Perth", which I didn't say, but if she said I said it then I must have so I'll take the bonus points. I'm winning!
People with strange accents keep calling here asking for Anniet. Anybody have any idea what that's about?
Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.
Six Prime ministers this millennium ( Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Rudd, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison ).
Nullarbor = no trees
Bottom of the harbour scheme ~ a term coined over 40 years ago to describe tax avoidance via stripping ( selling ) all assets and then winding up the company ( & run away with the proceeds ). All the detail of the process placed in a briefcase with some bricks, which you then throw into Sydney Harbour. Of course any other method of document destruction will do, but several culprits did admit to the dumping. It's now illegal and of course all manner of electronic trails would be left these days to provide evidence of the crime. NB the taxation office wasn't worried about ordinary shareholder losses, just that tax owed was not being paid.
Cheers, Mike.

I'm very happy I came to Australia, the race event has been great so far, I've been at the track for 2 days with 2 more to go! All the support races are GREAT too but the F1 cars is why I came and they went on track today, WONDERFUL to see them!! They even ran an older V-10 engines F1 car from 24 years ago when they ran full time and it SCREAMED!! It was a 2 seater and the guy in the back seat had a HUGE smile on his face when he got out of it!! The V-8 Supercar and the Porsche Challenge cars, and even the Ferrari challenge cars are LOUD but the F1 cars aren't as loud, but the V-10 screams at a very high RPM. It's spine tingling to hear it!!! If I can when I get back home I will post a clip of it.
Sitting in my local pub last night enjoying fine food and drink when suddenly on of the 16 TV's changed channels to the F1 in Melbourne. Watched as some dolt was going a bit fast heading for the pit and clipped the wall leaving parts of his car all over the surface.

I did not see that!! I am sitting where I can see the cars enter the pits but then they go around the corner and I can't see them. Sometimes they show things like that on the tv's but not all the time and the letters on the screen are WAAAAY to small to see, someone complained to one of the guys checking badges to make sure you are sitting I the right are and he said the tv's are for the 'corporate folks' and we just get to see them because of where we sit. The guy told him that each corporate table has it's own tv but he said that didn't matter as they are paying ALOT more for their tickets then we are. We are in the @$150US per seat per day section, which gives us a cover over our heads to keep off the Sun, and rain etc, except as the Sun goes down it comes right into our section. BUT until about 3pm or so we ARE out of the direct Sun. It hit 27C yesterday but today they are saying it will only be @23C so that's a good thing.
From what I remember it would have been the exit end of the corner. He did drive down to his pit and a bit later someone had to run out and pick up the big bits.

My twin is on her way back from India to help me with something I should be able to do all by myself but can't. Pathetic, I know. It's been nearly three years since I last saw her so uselessness does have upsides :)
Note that Anniet gave me credit for "Perth",
Yes, do. Let's note that, people. Definitely ;)
My brilliant deductive leap into the wrong harbour was loosely based on thinking a tax investigation in Perth (passed to Canberra then back again) might have indicated it all started there. And if it helps too, there was meant to be a question mark after it, except I couldn't find it on my smartphone, and didn't, so there it wasn't.
But if you try it with one, not only is there a bit of a suggestion that I planned to take all the glorious repercussions for that bit for myself :) but Mike might also have simply said, no, opening up the opportunity to sprawl triumphantly into another conclusive leap that would have left me splattered awkwardly all over Canberra whilst trying to find a harbour.
So in many ways, other than being completely wrong of course, it turned out quite well I think ;)
Wishing everyone a lovely Tuesday or whatever it is. I have to go out now so I'll turn up later somewhere, I expect.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
