    Hi Craig, Sandgropers are wholly subterranean apterous insects of the family Cylindrachetidae that may grow up to 7 cm (3 in) long.

    My State of Western Australia rightly claims the accolade of being the economic power house of the country/continent of Australia even having only about 10% of the Nation's population, yet about a third the land mass of our little continent. About 4 times the area of Texas. 🌏 And still we boom...

    I see cracks already appearing in Trumpland. President Musk I hear chanted satirically. Their Reserve bank has put the global markets wobbling downwardsnot wanti g to lower rates. Aussie dollar and stock markets have dropped sharply witelling away at my own savings. 🤬 The saving grace is that...

    He likes to cook Thomas! ? 😃 Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. 😉 Wishing you and all your family a wonderful Christmas. Might it snow for a White Christmas? A light gentle flurry of soft snow. ❄️☃️❄️ Perth's Christmas weather will be a mild dry ~25C just after more scorchers.🌴

    No worries Jessica. My Christmas gift to you I had made up by an Alien friend. It's a cold fusion powered climate control unit that will heat or cool your home to whatever temperature you want. It portable too. Its battery will last 200 years, and to recharge the unit, just press the...

    How about an Elizabethan type execution Craig. It was a big crowd drawer in the day going on for a good while. Snacks available. It's sad that real evil lurks in some souls. The bad seed?

    He's a horrible man always ready to go on the offensive and no doubt lying through his teeth re the numerous charges against him. I heard him bleating his innocence several times and I loathe him even more now. Surely he can't wriggle out of the many charges of a sordid past. Nine or ten...

    That was a good read Craig. Cheers. Indonesian criminal punishments on Drugs and trafficking are a lot tougher than ours. Fair enough, their country, their rules. But life life and twenty years, by our standards, that's very harsh and I think these guys have more than done enough time by our...

    I might pass too Thomas as I don't fare well with word puzzles, crosswords especially. Cryptic crosswords bewilder me. I mostly just play solo logic games like Mahjong. Spatial puzzles and cards especially Solitaire. I usually get through a game in less than 10 min which I can do during...

    That's a nice case Thomas. I'm half tempted but I prefer watching TV on my TV. I spent extra on my S6 to get a 128gb main storage which here was ~$650 but I grabbed mine on the early black Friday sales for $450. It was too good a bargain to ignore. I also put in a 128gb SD secondary storage...

    I checked out the Samsung Galaxy A9+ after reading your above post Thomas. My local shops are selling them about the same price as yours cost you but with a good variation in prices.., if one can get one cheaper. That's a good price for a good solid tablet. Did you get a SD storage chip with it...

    A Forest has Twigs I suspect Craig. 🌲🍂🌲🍃👩‍🌾🌲🌿🌲🌱👨‍🌾 My new Samsung Android tablet is brilliant but it has been a little onerous getting up to speed with it. Like, what's new and what can it do. A few hurdles to jump. It's got a special stylus that does all sorts of things, even without quite...

    The Golan Heights has strategic importance, mostly from its altitude where sensors like radar can be much more effective. So Aunty told me. (ABC Thomas) Israel is seeking to castrate Syria militarily which seems fair given the treats of Isis etc... However it's illegal under international rules...

    I heard those Quantum computers are getting better everyday, especially with the new chip Google is developing. Thousands of times faster than the current chips. Even faster and the Boffins have greatly reduced the 'error' issues which earlier was the achillies heel of Quantum computers...

    I was reminded today Assad dropped barrel bombs onto his own people. They were usually 44 gallon drums filled with oil, explosives and shrapnel, and were dropped from helicopters with deadly and mass effect. I just heard Israel is targeting Syrian Air Force bases. There still is an active...

    I heard Basher had imprisoned 100,000 Syrian citizens in the last five years who subsequently disappeared. Basher was an evil despot gone now to seek sanctuary from despot Putin. Damn them both.

    Syria’s armed opposition says its fighters have captured the capital, Damascus, and that President Bashar al-Assad has fled possibly to Russia. The commander of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Abu Mohammed al-Julani, says all state institutions will remain under the supervision of al-Assad’s prime...

    I don't object to Nuclear or even Fusion power for Australia in the future, but not now with the urgency needed to combat global warming NOW! Opposition leader Dutton is away with fairies wanting nuclear power stations. Australia's main Scientific body CSIRO gave Duttons idea the thumbs down...
