    Anybody with the merest interest in political accountability could have predicted the slothful and disrespectful reaction to this national catastrophe from Scott from marketing. It may, just possibly, bring about an awakening of consciousness from the so obviously ignorant polity. I see that in every utterance, Scott (from marketing), injects his crass political jibes. He's still so far behind in providing empathy and understanding of the people's feelings of loss and despair.

    I once got a bit of hail from a strange, tall and skinny cloud on a warm afternoon at about 7,000ft. Took the leading edge off a wooden prop causing me to pull the power and land pronto on a very convenient ag strip.

    We had a little Kitfox Mk 1 and it was absolutely delightful to fly. Can get the radar on the modern flight apps.

    Yes Frank, we could do with any of that you don't want. Don

    The bit that reads, "No Iraqi's were harmed when making this video."

    Twist & turn, twist & turn. Plausible deniability is the US' stock in trade.

    The linked story below seems to point to the US as the source of chemical weapons used by Saddam (Yes he's a bastard, but he's OUR bastard) Hussain in the attack on the Kurds. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-153210/Rumsfeld-helped-Iraq-chemical-weapons.html

    Hans Blix was another honorable expert who was ignored by the deplorables in the coalition of the killing.

    Like the Hmong and other hilltop tribes in Vietnam. Used like toilet paper by the US and other western dupes.

    Sounds a little like Howard's declaration that he was not going to listen to the mob, after huge public demo's against Australia going to war on Iraqi peoples. Some democrat!!!

    I have thought that religion, being the "opiate of the masses", was the means for lazy people to calm their ignorant anxiety. Then, from what I read of the pentacostalist's philosophy, they must be the laziest thinkers of all. How good is goin' to kirk on Sunday???

    Of course Nev, the obverse argument is Scummo's "Too small to make a difference". If everyone had that small minded view of the world we could all forget about choice and line up for a tatood number.

    I don't see any joy in doing 19+hrs in any configuration. Alright if you are a "Slave to the Money" and want to be there. A-350's are relatively comfortable and NOT Boeing.

    A-350's are around 300mm wider in the cabin. This adds around 25mm width to economy seats. It doesn't sound much but is very noticeable. They are almost uncannily quiet in the cruise.

    Sorry, rushed in without seeing that this was already reported. Don

    Goldilocks and the 3 bears... Maybe, but the one by Ms Crabb is no fairy tale.

    Is this the "story of decade"? I think that it is not unreasonable to label this story, linked below, as, "The story of the decade". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-24/10-years-of-climate-change-inertiaand-the-role-of-andrew-robb/11726072

    Snowy Hydro which we who lived through its construction fondly remember as the Snowy Scheme, was purchased outright by the Commonwealth from NSW and Vic. last year. This was just before they committed around $1.3b in govt subsidy to the boondoggle known as Snowy2.0. This was an attempt by Turnbull to shore up his hold on power. He claimed at the time : 1. No govt subsidy, 2. A cost of $2bn, and 3. Completion within 4 years. All of these have been proven false (hence my branding as "boondoggle"). As others have stated, pumped hydro is able to be placed at many locations nearer to demand than the remote Snowy. Extra transmission capacity requires another huge lump of money to distribute this power to centers of demand. Undoubtedly, this incompetent government finds little difficulty in spending from the treasury to finance window dressing. No mention over the last 6 years of the "Debt and deficit disaster" that they crowed about when they were in opposition. The states are now crying out for federal money to attempt to patch together an energy plan criminally lacking because the LNP DO NOT govern for the good of the country.

    Opinions only count in the fashion world. You have your answer - what you choose to do with it is (maybe) your fate! Regards Don. This is an open and respectful conversation on a forum that I've been a member of for many years. You may block people who annoy you.
