Interesting info about the history of Tasmania, thanks demonlanders. You learn something every day!  I can't recall too much about Australian history from school. The only thing I remember is that Matthew Flinders sailed down the east coast from Sydney.  He entered Port Phillip bay through the heads and went on to mount Martha. That surprised me because I had thought Martha had stayed home in England.

Still haven't heard from the good doc and he doesn't appear to handing out his usual indiscriminate thrashings.

Is it possible the doc cavorted a little too enthusiastically during the abovementioned rites of summer and did himself a mischief?

What's that thing about doing unto others? I tend to prefer that direction. First anyway. 

Have been enjoying myself of late poking feathers at Crusader Biffin and reading about nineteenth century s-x crimes in Vienna. No connection of course.

The more things change the more they go backwards, daisy. We get by jumping from satellite to a Telstra mobile broadband service to using an iPhone as a hotspot. But there was a 7:30 report thing a while ago on a bloke who has to put his iPhone in a plastic bag and hoist it up a tree to get any sort of internet so I can't complain (and no one would listen anyway).

Good to know that things are moving so fast in the metropoli though.

yeah, i saw that report. very impressed with his resourcefulness. must be a bushy thing. but seriously, have they talked to you about moving you to the new satellite? it did sound like a big improvement for satellite nbn, but maybe it is reserved for other areas or some such other bureaucracy?

If they get 5g working nbn is officially dead in the water. It was unofficially dead before it started lol

We're completely in the dark about the new satellite and it doesn't seem to have helped ease the load on the existing one. We have outage after outage, only some of them planned. Assuming the wet arrives soon we'll probably need to connect to the web via semaphore.

Hope you're right 'bub. Will we have to rely on Telstra to get it working though?

A communications engineer has told me that Telsta is overcharging the NBN access its infrastructure and pits, which are full of asbestos and disconnected lines.

Privatised Telstra is now destroying its own competition through arbitrage and sabotage.

Our Bitter correspondent has asked me to inform you that he is taking a week off to practice his diction and cultural awareness.

It seems a typo made in poor taste has offended someone worried in case of somebody getting offended.

Bitters was guilty of stereotyping our Asianneighbours ability to pronounce the letter r.

I suppose the decades he's spent teaching Asian children English  must have been interspersed with some Hey Hey it's Saturday!!

I did buy lunch at a shop called " wok and lol" today and funnily enough it was busy with customers and not a single placard in sight.

In conclusion I think the punishment is just  for such an archaic evocation.

I expect he will be flagellating himself  vigorously in contrition.

Hmm, this looks suspiciously like posting by proxy, another clever effort by BBO to slip past any scrupulous mods who might visit here. That's highly unlikely I suppose.

More alarming is the information that he's been allowed to teach anyone anything. I though proponents of Dickensian education techniques had been shuffled off into administrative jobs long ago.

Anyway, didn't you say in another thread that you were off for a souvlaki at lunchtime yesterday?

I'm back from Tassie. In my opinion Uncle Bitter would make an excellent teacher. On that subject I noticed in Launceston there was a Steiner school.

My question is .........How is it we fought two world wars to have a German education system?

Xin. Chau Chairman Dee.

I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!!

Bbos joke would fall very flat here.

Nodody talks out of turn.

You would love it!

Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight!

Gotta love the commos.

Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already .

On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road.

There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C!

Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic.

And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire .

Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!

Very pleasing that you have arrived in Vietnam without harm, Biff. You don't mention, though, whether you caused any on the way.

My sister was there a few years ago and loved it. She's always talking out of turn.

I expect your bad French to continue. It's our historic duty to offend against the language, especially wherever we find the remnants of their failed colonial enterprises.

I won't venture anywhere near the bad Dong puns. I presume you'll return with at least six months' supply of these. If not, you could bring back a stick-on Uncle Ho beard for BBO to wear to the first game of the season.

It's pure capitalist propaganda DC.

there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat.

Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco.

They encourage the children to think outside the square .

Then they [censored] them if they do.

It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
