    Had I $450M I don't think I'd spend it on a gloomy guts holy picture, even if Leo painted it.

      Most of us wouldn't, if all we had was the $450m, but if we had $1,000m to play with, then it could be a different story. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, old chap!

    Another close US Presidential Election - at least with the early returns - it has the feel of a nail-biter

      The discussion tomorrow will be all about people who did not want to openly declare (to pollsters) their support for a particular candidate but were happy to do so in the privacy of the voting booth.

      Quite so, Ozex - as we saw at both at the last UK GE and the Referendum.

    It's bloody hot. Forecast is a ton in the old scale. 38 according to the Swede. I'm dreading the next couple of nights without AC.

      Having spent many a long spell in the Perishin' Gulf without A/C the most expedient remedy is buying a desk fan and training it to blow solely on your bed. It does work surprisingly well, provided you kip on bare sheets/on the covers.

      I do have a nice big fan in the bedroom. Sleeping isn't the worst of it. The worst for me are the evening hours before bedtime.

    Is wondering if Novak is spitting chips, having had to suspend play on Court 1 two sets down, while Fed cruises into Monday (with the weekend off) under the roof on Centre Court.

  9. Ozexpatriate

    Has learned that reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" books (aka "Game of Thrones") at bedtime can give one very disturbing dreams.

    Plan ahead to eat a pie on Monday for the most accurate pi day possible: 3/14/16 (3.14159)

      What on earth is he going on about? Is this some kind of pork pie joke? If so, it's in poor taste.

      No way !

      Can it really be 30 years. Do we have a hover board ready. What will happen to the space time continuum, if we don't. Will the movie cease to exist?

    Lest We Forget ... ANZAC-100

      We British should never forget the sacrifices made by those soldiers of the ANZAC forces. Nor by the people of any other nation that was part of the "British Empire"!
