Finland, Finland, Finland ...... Yep, Nokia has been dead for yonks. Keep up.

I am currently on Vodafone because I am mainly in metro areas and the pricing is better including international calls. Yes, the combined VF/Optus coverage is better than the VF coverage previously but I think it is misleading to say it is better than Telstra. In pretty much every area the Telstra coverage is better and if you regularly travel in rural areas you still want Telstra.

Loud and clear came about people got confused with '5 by 5' or '5 by 9' none of which is that complicated. I recommend you only use 'loud and clear' or a short plain language description ie "muffled", "understandable but lot of background noise"(borderline too long), "weak but clear" etc

I do not know the panel layout of this particular plane but it surprises me the number of critical switches on all type of planes that are not guarded.

In Australia credit card charges are generally not more than 1.5%.

He was as shonky as f*ck. Gladys was not stupid and knew this. What does this say about the rest of the party if he was a good option ?

Just a bit of a clarification on the Magna Carta; this was not bought about to make the peasants equal to the Lords. This was bought about so the King could not rip off the Lords. These same Lords did not give a damn about the peasants.

Maybe we could merge the 2 threads ?

Read a newspaper article (that I now cannot find) that the owner bought it 6 months ago for $60,000.

Can we stop ignoring the fact that except for AZ and the chinese vaccines all the Covid vaccines were mRNA vaccines. Proir to Covid no mRNA vaccine had been approved for general use in humans anywhere in the world. Mainly this was because previous mRNA vaccines were largely ineffective but odd side effects were noted and reported on. Even today no mRNA Covid vaccine has a standard approval and all are currently being given on their original emergency approvals. There is no other vaccine type in Australia, NZ, UK, USA, Canada and western Europe being dispensed on the basis of an emergency approval. The Australia governement advised us that the pandemic emergency was over in February 2022. I would have expected that these emergency approvals would have been withdrawn at the same time. The TGA could have then requested trial data and put the vaccines through the normal approval process. By February 2022 millions of doses had been dispensed and the pharma companies had a huge amount of data. This has still not occurred. Please explain this to me.
