johnm Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 the old boy was a topdressing pilot and he died first. the old girl kept his ashes and when she died we organised to have the 2 containers placed in a topdressing plane and have them spread on some local hills prior, after some phone organisation we left the containers at the local topdressing pilots house (who knew the olds) (with numerous bottles of wine and beer and perhaps cash) ................. I never verified what actually did happen but believe it to be true - that's all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRviator Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 5 Kg of ashes, make 25grams into 20 balloons. You're an order of magnitude out. 25 grams per balloon, by 20 balloons is 500 grams. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 We take our whole lives wrecking the planet. The least we can do is not make a toxic tomb for ourselves. Either feed me to the fish and make me protein or plant me under a tree and I can feed the future. No box. no fuss but have a drink and party well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every country that this has happened, fecundity has decreased to below replacement.

Butch Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Educate women, provide "free" healthcare and raise the standard of living I thought we already do that in Australia. What Country do you live in?

Butch Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The rich west must bite the bullet and start improving the lives of the poor (without political condition) to slow and then reduce the world population A mate of mine invented a chair to take to Third World Country's to slow population growth. It worked by offering males $100 to sit on the chair with their goolies hanging down through a hole in the chair. Then he would get two bricks and smack the goolies in between them. I said " bloody hell that would hurt " and he replied " not really just make sure you don't get your thumbs caught between the bricks " sorry ! couldn't resist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippydiesel Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I thought we already do that in Australia. What Country do you live in? To some extent yes - that's why our natural reproduction/fecundity is below replacement. We are only "growing" due to immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnewbery Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Does it really matter? Young people fall in love and breed because that is what young people do. Economies are built on this fact.

Russty Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 In Queensland, you may be buried on land 'that you have an affinity with' but Noosa Council want $1300 to do the paperwork!! So, like many correspondents, I just want to get the backhoe out & be prepared for a simple 'dust to dust' job. PS Skippydiesel should be writing a regular comedy column for us.

skippydiesel Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 .............................................. PS Skippydiesel should be writing a regular comedy column for us. Friend/ Buddy/Maaaate - you may eat at my table any time. Flattery will get you a long way but eventually my dyslexia would catch you/me out (Like the time a ran a "Pubic Auction".) On the other hand it may be sarcasm but I will take it as a compliment and at last recognition that 99% of what I say be be taken with alight heart and never any offence intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
