Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

WTF is it with men and air conditioning? I hate AC. Turned it on to 2 about 3pm, just a nice breeze kinda thing, hubby comes home early, and I'm still booking flights. I'll cook tea soon I say., and keep tapping away. About 30 min later I'm shivering, I've had a touch of man flu all week so thought it was that. Went and got my dressing gown, but on the way back to my desk I noticed the thermostat- was now on 5! Ok well yeah he worked hard in a warehouse, he's probably hot, but where is he? Asleep in a chair-outside! It was like still 28 degrees out there, and I'm an ice cube! Just came up to bed, the windows open and the fans a fricken helicopter and the doona is pulled up to his chin! gh

And another thing; one of the flights I booked today I went back to pick the seats, and I can't find the booking. They have an Aussie toll free so I ring up. "Mam' he says, 'what's your husbands name?" Say what? "Um I booked it, my name was entered first, the card is in my name" . "Yes mam, but it defaults to your husbands name". WTF is this, 1950!

^ Thank him for me as well, if he does it. There are easier ways to make money, and it is a noble profession, serving in the army of a free people, defending civilised values against the despotism which is always active in this world. Like the police, they do the dirty work of defending us, so that we can pontificate about their work (inter alia) via the internet.

David? I assume he'd need a cardiac surgeon to put on cufflinks.

Sixty radioactive cow carcasses are buried beneath land in Werribee that the Andrews government is trying to sell to a Chinese consortium keen to build a $20-billion education precinct in Melbourne's west.

Documents obtained by Fairfax Media estimate the cost of cleaning up the radioactive waste could reach $300 million, with a further $770 million required to remove thousands more cow carcasses that are considered a biological hazard. Even conservative estimates put the cost of the clean up at $35 million.

OoooooKay then. :shock: :?

So people out west, if you hear Mooing outside at night and the doors and windows rattling, do you reach for the baseball bat or the steak knife and condiments?

How do you kill a zombie cow?
