Maybe it's a multiple choice, we all get a go at naming a video and the one who picks it gets a prize.

Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast

That one I have no intention of watching. Wifey pointed me towards a movie from last year called Shotgun Wedding, which I might look into one day.

My wife just said it reminds her of a 2006 movie called Children Of Men. She thinks she wants to watch the TV series but is not sure given the plot sounding so similar to the movie.

Yeah I've thought about watching it too but I wasn't sure if I was that interested. I've been watching sitcoms and dramas lately.

Which bit? Being a sick as Homer or swinging like a girl?

Look on the bright side, covid today is a lot less scary and unknown than it was 2 years ago,

Essentially the demo was the two tracks off the 4 band split album called Death Metal (Dark Avenger, Running WIld and Hellhammer). Kai has said in the past that the demo was released before the album but the album was in the process before their demo was slotted for release and they stole the name.

If everyone was that their avatar depicted then there would be more stranger than I I'm not trying to redefine or integrate. I personally don't care what genre people want to place Possessed in because it takes nothing away from how I view the album. I don't put the album on and wonder if it should be thrash or death, I put the album on and enjoy the sounds I hear. I don't have any issue with people who have to define it in one genre or another but it's just not something I have to do.

I'll get her a chair.

Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare

I've got a few dams.

I never pretended to be a whale, you lot wanted it so badly you convinced yourselves it was true. And I can no longer be a cucumber because I forgot to plant them this year and no way anyone here is going the believe I'm a cute-cumber.

Long walk off a short pier? I don't want an electric car so you can have mine and think about how green you are! In the past two weeks that I have been walking again I've increased my pace to 9'28" per km (about 6.2kph). I haven't been doing it every day but by the third day I'd increased from 7.1km to 7.5km (because it's convenient and gets me back to my door) and shaved about a minute off my pace. I could say it's the new shoes that have done it, but more likely I'm just that good!! Do I feel better? No actually last night I felt like shit, but I think it was something I ate so who knows. Is it worth it? Fuck, it better be!

Oooohhh I don't think you're allowed to re-define history even if you want to. I think it's frowned upon by those who might look down on us. Therefore if Seven Churches was released as thrash....Aahh what the fuck do I know? Me trying to debate genres is like me discussing which method of brain surgery is the best.

Trastorned - Into The Void

Seven Doors - Feast Of The Repulsive Dead

https://burningshed.com/store/wishbone-ash_store/wishbone-ash_argus-50th-anniversary_boxset $220 plus postage. I don't think I can bring myself to pay that much for an anniversary album, even one as good as Argus

Judas Priest - Firepower

Unless that whiskey is coming my way I'm not going to tell anyone Here they are called Cute-cumbers I was busy talking to my old man, I'm sorry.

I like it, just not fussed on those bands

Wow, the only band I could be bothered watching on that list is probably the only band on the list that most of the crowd wont care about.

Wytch Hazel - III Pentecost

How about 24 months plus for a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series. A vehicle that's basically remained the same for 39 years, still doesn't see the base model get an air conditioner, and now gets a higher GMV rating in Australia simply so that Toyota can register it as a medium truck and avoid the laws about side airbags which would require a redesign. For the privilege of waiting 24 months you also get to pay a minimum of $74K for the base model, or $125K for the top model. But if you can't wait there is a 22 model sitting in a shipping container, enclosed in an air tight bubble bag, never driven, less than 50ks on the clock, 1 of 350 made and you can have it for $150K. However that price rises weekly. Houses are now a depreciating asset in this country. With inflation and interest rates rising houses are becoming less affordable and there are quite a few reports that point to house values dropping. Because of this idea that you can now borrow 95% of the house value there is a number of places around the country where people will soon owe more than their asset is worth.

They told us that the trucking industry was hit hard during covid, so many drivers travelling so many places either catching it or spreading it. But by mid '21 they were onto blaming different industries. The toilet paper and tissue industry lost a lot of staff and because 80% of bog rolls come out of one factory there was barely enough to go around. Then it was the frozen pea and bean industry (no other vegetables). Then it was the egg industry. Nearly every industry has had a go, and while it's some what feasible that a bug like covid could run rampant through a factory of workers, especially workers who were being asked to come back to work in small areas it does seem odd that it's generally only been one industry at a time suffering dramatically. The two industries that have remained constantly complaining they are short of workers are the fruit picking and cafes/restaurant industries, the same two industries that for years have hired tourists and back packers and under paid them while working their arses off. The thing is these same people haven't woken up, they spend their time bitching at the government to let international workers back in while saying Aussie don't want to work for less than minimum wage. Car prices in this country have been ridiculous for years, not just because of the Aussie dollar, but because we make sweet fuck all here and have done for years. Even before the closure of Ford and Holden manufacturing, back to when Mishitibus and Toyota used to manufacture here, import prices killed the price of cars for people. Then came a luxury tax on imported luxury cars (or cars over about $50K I think it was), an even bigger joke now because ever car is imported into the country. Using the Toyota above as an example the cheapest Toyota ute, which is the single cab poverty pack, steel tray 2 wheel drive, no air conditioner, is $50k. The one that matches what Toyota America call the Tacoma is our Hilux, 4wd, 4 door, tub matching the body not a tray, shiny alloy wheels, can't be driven off the lot of less than $65K and wont arrive here for 12-14 months if ordered today. But the used car market is just as ridiculous, because importing is so hard. We traded the wife's 2009 Nissan Navara (Frontier in the US) a bit over 12 months ago. If we'd sold it pre-covid as a 10 year old vehicle we'd have been lucky to get $10k for it on the private market. However we traded it in 13 months ago as a 12 year old car on a new Isuzu and because of it's condition, low mileage and the Stealership had someone to buy it as soon as they'd done a stealership make over they offered me a shade over $16K as a trade in. Going by other dealership prices at the time they would have sold that car for about $20-22K. So while the car aged two years it also went up more than $6K because people were wanting second hand cars instead of waiting for new cars. So much for a depreciating asset! Got me stuffed why people still wanted new (to them) cars but instead of waiting for an actual new car, or just not spending the money, they ran to secondhand cars that sky rocketed in price, but I guess that's just more reason why some people and money can't be trusted. Since GG's been absent for a few days someone has to write the novels
