    If you can convert that to NZ time, I'll put it in my calendar!

    Give me a couple hours after.

    Good luck.
    Take a ☘️ if needs but luck as in Powerball or hope my pilot/ surgeon didn’t have a cracking nite last nite or luck as in opportunity meets preparation?

  2. Try watching it in Australia.
    Not only is it played upside down, but it starts at ridiculous times Monday morning.

    Yet, with 2 boys named after Bills, the ex-wife still doesn’t know that, I head off to the gym, walk the dog etc. secure in the fact I don’t own a T-shirt without Bills on it! I whinge like everyone after a loss, especially after THE season of promise. But I’m still wearing the colours that day and the next. I watch minimal TV and spend as much time as kids allow with them. The time spent on the Bills is a welcome distraction, what’s sports are supposed to provide us/ entertainment. Are you not entertained? BTW Minecraft is a no, shooting hoops a yes, shopping for clothes 🤮 but I’m there.

    Find the fun again.

    "Head of Govt".... it's just a ceremonial position, isn't it? It's the lamest thing that people in the US even follow this.

    Victorian Parliament stops until every minister’s re-affirms loyalty to the new Monarch. There’s been some conflict with this as the Republican movement steps up, how do you declare loyalty to the Monarch and then want to remove the Monarch…. In the 1970’s the Queen’s representative, the Governor General sacked the Govt. of the day causing an election. Apparently the Govt. was going to sack the Governor General but he got in first, being the Queen’s representative. My understanding is that the ceremonial aspect is to simply ensure that the Govt. Is acting within the Westminster system lawfully and basically signs off on things when required. Not sure if there’s been another conflict to which they’ve said, nope, not signing that.

    Here’s a random thought.  Are there “black” band-aids?  I mean, like for African Americans....I’ve never seen one.

     

    If so, do they have different shades?  Surely a dark African straight from Somalia would have different band-aid needs than a guy like Tiger Woods.  Right?

    Do you stop watching a film after you’ve realised it’s just a bad film or do you persist, hoping that it improves?

    I'm getting to the age where I think I got to start taking my health a little more serous.  Meaning doctor appts, checkups kind of thing.  I haven't had a real physical in 10 years.

     

     

    But I've always taken b Complex vitamins.  Think it wakes my brain up in the morning.  I'm told zinc is good as well.  

     

     

    Vitamin C and D I've been told its benefits.  Something I should look into 

    Annual Physical, essential. Picked up my cancer just as it was turning. Every birthday is the reminder. Book it.

    Why does a starship captain named Jean-Luc, who hails from a French vineyard, speak with a British accent?

     

     

    Ok, how about… The English revoked the Treaty of Paris, reclaimed the title of Normandy and landed from the Channel Islands, that had always remained in British hands. It’s a courtesy to refer to the Vineyard as French…

    My 7 year old son takes these GIANT dumps. I mean, 8-9 inchers! I was thinking today...how is his little body capable of making these things? Yeesh...

    I think 8.6 Courics is the World Record, not sure what the Junior World Record is? Oh, it’s Stan Marsh.

    I like turtles

    I’m watching ‘Interceptors’ on Netflix and the secret US base in the Pacific has a turtle in a tank; Turbo the Turtle. Film is boring and I’m scrolling TBD and laughed as I saw your comment at the exact same time as the turtle came on screen!

    My dog is smarter than the majority of people I run into on a daily basis. 

    Optometrist recommendations needed?

    Oddly enough, Hawking's warning seems to agree:

     

     

    He was worried that technologically-advanced aliens would do to us what technologically-advanced humans have done to less developed societies.

     

     

    Neil DeGrase Tyson said much the same. We’ve been sending signals into space for decades, asking would you post on facebook your address and that you welcome every and anyone?

    Big difference when a guy is purposely trying to get you to do something looks like for money, and when a comedian is just talking at an awards show.

    You may have missed the ‘Australian humour that was intended’. 
    I see he’s lawyered up. I assume so has Mike. There’s an allegation of a  water bottle being thrown.
    Reminded me of an incident at the hospital where an upset extended family member threw a crushed up piece of paper at a Nurse as she wouldn’t let extended family into the ED Dept. She had him charged. He said it was a piece of paper. She asked ‘why do you get to throw anything at me?’ & at the time, she said she didn’t know what was thrown, ducked and hit the security button. Security arrived and be puffed up. Security hit the police call…

    Mike may respond that after the initial interaction, the passenger challenged him in a threatening manner, then threw something from behind & He feared further escalation, particularly whilst his back was turned, that he didn’t think to sit, perhaps have even more thrown at him and press the air hostess call button,  so he took matters into his own hands (that pun intended).

    I’ll still wait to see if Rogan can get him on.
