The completely useless irrelevant thread

Jump to new
Off to the orchardist mates place in Pickering Brook get a supply of table fruit and a tonne of 2nds for the bovines, they have missed out for a while due to other issues.
 
Not too sure about today. Pretty windy cloudy and generally can't be bothered in doing very much outside at all.
There is certainly plenty to do BUT............................having a loaf around and bludge and even a kip before lunch might be the order of the day!!!!!
 
April 20th 2025, was the date in which the first “future” mission in the campaign for Call of Duty: Black Ops ll was set, a game whose plot contains U.S. military operations against extremist militant groups in Yemen, the rise of AI and drone warfare, as well as a cold war between the United States and China which eventually leads the Chinese to halt the export of rare earth metals.

Thankfully this was just a game and sounds nothing like any current realities.

Life imitates art?
 
Seems irrelevant

"We lose $31.5 billion a year to gambling – the most in the world, per capita. We get pokies with our parmas at the pub, betting odds with our footy and the encouragement to “have a crack” anywhere, anytime on the gambling apps in our pockets."

We have a flutter occasionally with the Lotto and that's about it.
 
In French, "je ne sais quoi" literally translates to "I don't know what".
In English, it's used idiomatically to mean "something that cannot be described or expressed."
So, how can we have "a certain je ne sais quoi"?

I have been travelling with my wife in our van now for three weeks.
We do not go into Caravan parks much, we mostly camp out bush.
Unfortunately, due to attending a wedding in Rockhampton, had to book into a caravan park for a few days.
We ended up leaving early as we were surrounded by people with dogs, some of them have more than one.
Can’t walk past a site without the dogs going off.
Don’t mind the kids running and jumping and having a good time.
A gravel pit on the side of quiet road is infinitely more relaxing.

@mullokintyre When we travelled some time ago the "bush" was the place to be a k or so off the road if possible.
My brother and his wife are now semi grey nomads, and it has to be a dire circumstance for them to be in a caravan park, for that very reason you mention Mick.

Said star was 15,000 light years from earth when discovered,and travelling at 170,000 kms per hour.
Time framefor our destruction is somewhere around 300000 / 170000 X 60* X 15,000 X 60 X 60 X 24 X 364 years.
Its a lot.
Given that life evolved on earth in less time than that its a fair chance that all life will have devolved long before the time is up.

We were watching "Border Security" on TV tonight when one of my sons called in for a few minutes. It was getting to the stage where the Chinese lady's bags were being opened after she denied any contraband to reveal all her forbidden fruit, bats, eggs etc. We asked him to sit down.

He then said. "Watching White Boomer pr0n again Dad ? " We laughed and laughed and laughed. What a good description of the show and our reactions to it.
