To be fair Aussies do want to make their own cars but Ford and Chev priced themselves out of the market and people started buying cheap Asian built cars. Then when the government stopped paying Ford and Chev megabucks to keep people employed they pissed off out of the country proving they were only in it for the government hand outs.

Woohoo, that's one person on the internet that I've convinced!!

Back in the late 80's and 90's we did the Hells Angles and Comancheros yearly bashes. One was held in Nov/Dec the other in Feb. Four days of music, food, booze, entertainment and never ask any questions. They'd drink anywhere, they'd eat anywhere, they'd fuck anywhere, and they'd shit anywhere. You didn't want to fear the follow through but by geez you fucking did your best not to be close to one or be the one delivering. It's even better these days because we go out for Christmas lunch. The only places around here that are open for Christmas lunch charge a fortune and therefore tend to get quite a few of the upper echelon snobs. We don't make a public scene about farts, and we don't talk loudly, but it's amazing how many people can hear a conversation about farts at a table in a room full of people. It's like they are deliberately eaves dropping on what others are talking about and not the people at their own table.

A fart should be celebrated. The farter should be proud of their vapour. The surrounding group should congratulate the farter on a job well done, possibly even rank it....unless there is a follow through, then it's every man for themselves clearing the room. The Christmas dinner table is where my family discusses farts. Without fail, every year, and it annoys the hell out of my mother. Sometimes such discussion happens at other times of the year but the Christmas dinner fart conversation goes for longer and has much better detail.

I'm lucky if I can get all the words I want on the page without typos. I'd like to blame all the silly things I post on bad typing too but no one would believe me.

If only we had high speed sniff-a-net you could share with everyone!

I'm too old to understand what hashtags are 😜

England, Scotland, Ireland. Same place, no one cares.

Ohh tennis scores. We could make a joke about Andy Murray, but he does that himself better than we could! Edit: Awe fuck. I just remember Nick Curious is an Aussie. I'm in no position at all to make jokes about tennis players from other countries. My apologies England!

Yeah but we don't drive Astra's

I got my hair cut when I was spending more time fixing trucks than I was driving them. Was a shit of an idea having to climb under a truck, or car with long hair. When a mate got himself a pit and we could drive over I let my hair grow again, but I've never had a buzz cut. My mum told me when I was a kid with a full head of hair that I had a birth mark on my head so I was never brave enough to get it cut that short in case I looked like Gorberchev. Turns out there is no birthmark and mum doesn't even remember why she told me such a thing but I'm still not getting a buzz cut. Currently I haven't had a hair cut since 2018 though. I'd rather look like an old hippy than a testicle. We've got a four wheeled bike here on the farm but I've never owned a two wheeler and never really had any inclination to ride on the road or for any sort of distance. If I got a bike now it would just look like a late life crisis given that a few of my mates had their mid life crisis and bought Harley's about 15 years ago.

Yeah, it will probably appear in my top 10 for the year.

Nah, I'm totally converted. I haven't bought a CD since I read your post.

Well you've converted me.

AC/DC for me are one of those bands that are just there. I rarely reach for one of their albums but they are on my phone and rotate through occasionally when I'm in the car. I know pretty much all the songs and they rarely disappoint but they certainly aren't a go to band these days. Apart from the recent gig I saw snippets of at Power Trip (or whatever it was) for the most part they've always put on a great live show, although I haven't seen them since some time in the 00's.

The thing I find funny is that he mostly admits bands can't live without physical media. He admits that bands travelling create more co2 than physical media. He admits others things cause more co2, but he still claims his idea of getting rid of physical media has merit. Sounds to me like someone wanting his 15 minutes of fame.

Apparently the chairman of Chrysalis Records has claimed we should all turn to digital media because CD's and vinyl contribute too much to polluting the world. He's even gone as far claiming bands who talk about saving the world being hypocrites if they release physical media. Kind of a funny stance for a bloke who is chairman of a record label that relies heavily on physical media sales. He does only point the finger at cd's and vinyl, he doesn't mention how much pollution merchandise makes so I guess record labels can still make some money from t-shirts, stickers, posters and anything else that can't be streamed

We all like to convince ourselves of such things.

Isn't forcing yourself to remain nonchalant manipulating your feelings anyway?

I wonder if there is an online converter.

I recalibrate mine semi-regularly. But without them both being recalibrated by the same shyte meter recalibrator it's not easy to suggest whose is right. They could both be wrong.

Maybe your shyte meter is broken?

If I couldn't force myself to listen to something I'd dump it from my list. As it is I've dumped 5 or 6 albums from my already short list to listen to simple because I can't be bothered with them after one listen when they came out. My days of going though hundreds of albums to find a gem are over. If it's worth listening too someone else will highlight it. Deith - To Hell And Back

Even if that statement was true it's a damn fine reason to write the song. Those origin cannons were fucking earth shaking during their live shows.
