Why can't the Yanks make roads that are flat?

You haven't been to Australia yet, have you Marla?

When you're in WA, visit a little town called Marble Bar.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.  In Australia, we level those bumps out.

Never see that in Iowa.

There's also a public heroin injecting room right on the main street, if that takes your fancy.

All depends what you're looking for.  Newtown to meet uni students,  Jackson on George on Friday for corporate types, Star Bar for thai students and Marble Bar for wealthy milfs and gilfs.

Even for what passes as a dive bar in Australia by the Google images I've seen are way too clean. Even the floors look nice. In Denver dives, you dare not look down because you do not want to ever know what your shoes are sticking to.

Dunno, where did you meet him?

Marla wrote on Jun 21^st, 2017 at 4:01pm:
Bars are generally quite fancy in Australia. In the country and some coastal towns you get rough pubs. The further isolated you get the rougher pubs get. I went to a pub in Claireview central Queensland where there were green tree frogs and geckos crawling all over the walls behind the bar. These Danish tourists walked in and I showed a Danish lady a frog I caught and she almost crapped herself. It's a big country.

Do they still do cane toad races in Qld. Oh god that's funny.  Qlanders are renowned world wide for being so bloody funny

Gordon wrote on Jun 21^st, 2017 at 4:10pm:
They do. I like country pubs. I remember I walked into a pub out the back of Longreach and sitting at the bar were old 4 cowboys listening to country music from a 1960's transistor radio. I walked in with a black Sabbath t shirt on. They all looked around at once and then when back to drinking piss. I like those weird type pubs. But people are just people.

Mr Hammer wrote on Jun 21^st, 2017 at 4:10pm:



They are all turning into that, unfortunately.

...as long as you can get this because you can't get it here

Or if you do it's ridiculously expensive.

You Aussies would love the roads in Kansas

Because they all look like that. By all I mean the entire state.

That's a road.

Death Valley holds the official record with 56 Celsius. 70 degrees celsius would be breaking records in a very large region, and England would probably be having 40 degree days.

Hoax?

Any proof it is a hoax, ’Erbert? NASA/NOAA/MetOffice/BuMet/CSIRO etc etc are all lying are they? Or, much more likely from your posts, you don’t like thinking much so live by slogans instead in your lonely asbestos shack.

I will stick to science, thanks.

BTW: in Adelaide it is now too hot to grow the better type of bean in summer. But, hey, stick to not thinking if you like. Booby has decided to let someone else do his thinking for him. Weird but there you go!

Hooman beans?

French beans.

Was a delicious purple–podded bean but it just got too hot to grow it.

I found this out the hard way and it was mentioned on various gardening shows 10–15 years ago. Even growing the bean between rows of sweet corn didn’t give them enough shade. Even tomatoes now need double birdnetting over them the heat is so harsh. I have three 2.5m star droppers and two more no longer needed in the front, I will put them all in one patch then put double birdnetting over them and plant tomatoes (paste tomatoes mainly, one or two slicing tomatoes) under the netting.

Hmmm better get seeds and start the seeds next weekend.

And poor pathetic and gullible Booby thinks the globe is cooling 

Wasn’t dwarf beans. These were very fine beans indeed to eat.

Will have to search to find the name of that variety because I can grow them in Tassie! Yum, mouth waters just thinking about how they used to taste.
