When they dig up stuff that was abandoned by people 500 or 1000 years ago there isnt much left, imagine if we were all gone tomorrow then someone came in 500 years to dig up what we had left what a fecking mess that would be

Our nylon fishing-nets will be intact in 600 years, be full of fish by then, eh?

We broke the occasional wooden spoon also. If we were really bad though, and mother could get to it in time, we'd get the lunging whip and by f*ck that hurt!!!!!!!

I had the back of my scalp split open with a lunging-whip once, amen brother

It's pretty apparent every day that that's exactly the case
Driving round on worked-up ground, steep as a chook's face and you ask the chap why he doesn't just direct-drill it and keep some stability and groundcover..
"Oh, I reckon you get a better crop if you work it up"
So there's 60 ton of carbon per acre pouring out, never mind his TW20 covering your lime with some discs and whatever's coming out of my exhaust as well.
"For a better crop", FFS

Sharper minds inside the cage at the zoo than outside it

Another good example... hemp

Everything that's currently made of plastic could be made of hemp, right down to balewrap if "they" wanted to

But of course they don't, that would empower the rural areas

whereas, nothing in law supersedes the will of the people

... hence, education .....

Here’s one to stimulate the grey matter.

Police think they now know what killed 300 birds found dead on Anglesey

The starlings were mysteriously found near Llyn Llynwen in Bodedern

@Bald Rick hypnotised them after they crapped on his milk tank

They were waiting for the chicken to cross the road and a roller snuck up on 'em

Not sure yet.

@Bald Rick ,what do you know as it can’t be that far from you?

Kiwi Pete · Dec 12, 2019

Maybe there was some mince on the road, and being red meat, they simply died?

Nope.
The fact that none where found in the fields either side of the lane is the kicker ....

Mind, I'm not shedding any tears

I cant get my head around it....

Not being able to decrease starling populations without the POLICE and the news getting involved

Mind, I'm not insinuating anything,just saying

Seems to me that waste is one of our bigger issues. Be it food, power and fuel, or the mountains of stuff going to land fill... the list goes on and on and on! If we could only use things a little more efficiently it might help.

We are prodigious wasters of "stuff"!

It was interesting listening to the economist Dieter Helm this morning saying that Europe is busy congratulating itself on the greenhouse gas emissions reduction it has recorded. However, much of the huge emissions going on in China are actually from making cheap wasteful goods exported to meet demand in Europe and so these emissions should actually be recorded against Europe not China.

Could the Chinese not just pass the buck to Australia because they supplied the coal?
In reality the buck stops here, it’s us consumers that are driving it.

National Parks And Wildlife Services officers were recently investigating the death of over 200 crows found along a stretch of the Hume Highway, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. NPWS veterinarians, along with experts from CSIRO & EPA, examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu or a mass poisoning. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.

However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorcycles, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.

NPWS Ornithological Behaviourist's then worked to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorcycle kills versus car kills.

The Ornithological Behaviourist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow nearby to warn of impending danger.

The conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah," none could say "Bike.”.

Labor Calls For Australia To Pull Out Of Olympics Because We Only Make Up 1.3% Of Athletes

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT
The powerbrokers of the ALP front bench have today called for Australia to pull out of the International Olympic Committee after doing the maths on how much we actually contribute to the games.
“What’s the point” said Opposition leader Anthony Albanese today.
“China and India have at least one or two in each event. We don’t make any difference”
Joined by Christopher ‘Don’t Vote For Us’ Bowen and ALP right faction Leader Joel ‘I Lost 20% Of My Voters To One Nation’ Fitzgibbon – Albanese has today called for an immediate cuts to AIS funding for Olympians.
“I know Australia is probably over-represented considering we only make up 0.3% of the world’s population and still sent 410 athletes to Rio” said Albanese.
“But seriously. Nothing would change if we didn’t send anyone. Jamaica would still be breaking all the track records and Michael Phelps has basically overshadowed our performances in the golden age of swimming”

In a rare showing of unity, Fitzgibbon has agreed with Albanese.
“Triple Jump? Backstroke? If we aren’t winning those events, should we really even bother”
“Why spend the time training people for different disciplines if China and India are so far ahead of us?”
While this lost-Labor rhetoric ignores the fact that Australia still rates as the world’s greatest gold medal producers on a per capita basis – it does create a narrative where doing nothing is better than doing something – a political strategy straight from the ALP playbook
Chris Bowen says if we want to send athletes to Tokyo next year, then the only way to pay for it is to terrify pensioners with a very complicated tax reform.
