"I digress ..."

Wholesale lettuce price yesterday was $10, so retail $12-13, not much of a margin. But Banks wholesale for money is 1.35%, but sell it on at 4.8% That would make a lettuce around $28 if they had their way. Keep safe on the road and only buy lettuce, dont borrow money.

An interesting and unprecedented joint announcement by the heads of British MI5 and American FBI: BBC article China does seem to be on a course where it will stop at nothing to achieve greater (total?) dominance of the planet. Currently we seem to be, just, containing it but I cannot see what we can do t...

Hi all, Just a note to ask that members refrain from putting posts online about climate change (along with religion and politics).

Our Solar was installed in the early days, so still paid $900 for the 3 phase meter but it was not a smart electricity supply meter. Our electricity bills are not high ( have Gas Heating/cooking) but the July charges will hurt. The Smart meter will greatly reduce electricity cost/use between 10am an 3p...

Recently I have heard much argument on ABC radio and in The Age newspaper in support of quotas for, especially, women in the workforce - the sentiment is admirable of course although I am a little confused that the arguments I hear are generally proposing more women on company boards and similar senio...

An interesting article in The Age I was about to get my fourth shot but may now hold off for a while. It's a case of "Watch this space" I think.

North of Nowhere, from Aldi in a 12 pack $18.99, not too bad and a " reasonable" price these days, only 330ml stubby however. But made in NZ, so as Aussie Breweries are having a fair price hike this gets a bit of a run. Also brings to mind the Tom T Hall song " I like Beer "

See Victorian politicians are getting a pay rise, again. Basically an average wage rise of $160 per week, more for some. Sure it is set by someone else but they never have to fight for it. Don't hear any of them saying the state cannot afford it. Just smiling faces, rubbing hands together and "YOU BEAUT...
