Plenty of avenues around the planet for cheap clothing. Ever looked at the label on Katies stuff for country of origin? Unfortunately for Turkeyu the gas supply market is pretty well sewn up between Russsia and Iran. Good luck with that Erdogan

Post#54 revisited. The US and its co-conspirators have been slaughtering "arab militants" for years. However it has only been very recent that any credible force (Putin's newly energised Russia) has checked this crushing onslaught. This further atrocity against innocent and helpless members of the public may be designed to justify the West's war crimes against Assad's "barrel bombing" regime by implicating Syrians in the atrocities. Perhaps we will see a link to Russia following the extraordinary moves of the past week against Russia's athletics admin. Remember an American cyclist winning the Tour (many times).

Interesting to note that the "West" has been bombing Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, parts of Pakistan and areas north-eastern Africa for up to 14 years and no western airliners shot down in punishment. Russia has been in Syria for about 6 weeks and the "terrorists" are suddenly so enraged that they destroy an Airbus. Looks more like a false flag op by the Mossad or CIA hoping to goad Putin into some revenge act. Too cool for that I think.

I beg to differ with dr zoos glib one liner about Putin having "decimated the economy" . Putin was dared by the coalition of the killing to go to war in the Ukraine when an elected leader was replaced by a fascist dictator, Poreshenko. He didn't but was rewarded by the West with sanctions similar to those applied to Iraq in the 90's (Madelaine Albright's comment when it was pointed out that restrictions on the import of life saving medicines and baby formula was causing countless innocents to die ," It was worth it". Look it up.) Now Putin is doing the west's declared job of killing the terrorists and well. Read something that doesn't include Murdoch in its masthead. Don

Line-up at local Post Office already stretches out the door. Imagine the f**k-up if they had to collect GST on every parcel? Sheeesh! Almost all ebay deliveries from Aust Post come straight to the door. Dropped off with no one at home to collect (or pay!). Not going to happen *any time soon *.

I would take a lot of notice of face book page rumors on nukes. Putin is not crazy.

If a supplier of aircraft covering materials treated me like a piece of walking, talking dog s**t when I wanted to buy some stuff from them, and if I handed over a finance type card to pay for what they grudgingly sold me at an astronomical mark-up on the real price in the US (as found easily by inquiry on the internet). And if they then miss-keyed on the card and misplaced a decimal point would I do the *right thing* and alert them to the ridiculous mistake that they may have made... would I? Could I ????? Of course I would. Sometimes accidents happen.

It may be that there was little alternative. ICAO has a network of treaties around the world. Airlines cannot just choose where to fly regardless. I suspect that Dutchroll would know much more about this

With the world warming at its present rate and the unknowable whereabouts of climate tipping points, I think it may be folly to question where human society will be in 300 years.

That one's SpacEX. the internet sat was an Arianne out of Guinea I think. Don

I admire the old lady for showing it as it is. I don't believe that she would be any less of a picture than Phil or any of the rest of us grufties. Don

As I remember it that one was built by Bobby S and was registered 95:10. A great airplane. Don -
Sad news. I enjoyed all of his contributions to this site's conversation. Too few Thruster nuts left...hate to lose a good one Don

Every thing looks better from a couple of thousand feet. Kind regards, Don

Must trust the Rotax. I'm sure I heard somewhere that there are crocs in those rivers!

Not much useful information in them I'm afraid. Not meaning to be disrespectful to the late Tony , just my opinion. Don

2.58:1 is the common ratio used on Sub EA81's. Regards Don

A major debacle was removing the air navigation component from the price of avgas. This abruptly reduced the price of avgas to less than the equivalent mogas price. Of course, it took less than 18 months for the greedy oil companies to re- inflate the avgas price to previous levels. A huge win for the oil companies.

I think that Dick Smith tried to bring the US FAA culture to Aus. This, of course, was resisted by the bucolic rump resident in CASA since the days of DCA. So what we got instead was a cross between a cow and a duck. Of course it didn't work. Politics 101 Australian style.

Old Kareelah Mate, GG obviously identifies with the 1% elite who feel they are so rich that no ecological event can do them harm. Another way to put it is that he is a troll, a sociopath who delights in stirring us good citizens for his own feeble ego's gratification. Ignore it and it will go away...Poof...

"The road to Basra" will live in infamy as will the assault on the population of Fallujah. I know that its all war but bloody hell!...

What's the use of growing old (and Fat!) if you can't bore the buggers occasionally. I know because I have become a teacher for my sins. Don -
Soon to be 9 with the expectation of 12 before something (I don't know what and neither I'm sure does GG but not good I think) tips the balance and Malthus intrudes to right the equation. Don
