Hey shadowminister,
Look I'm not going to do back and forth with you.
Ukraine's fighting capacity is seriously degrading and in certain areas it is collapsing.
So why don't I just say nothing more about Ukraine for the next 2 weeks, and then we'll see where we're at.

AC,

I only respond when you post BS.

From the conflict map, it looks as though Russia is going backwards on all fronts and has now been pushed out of Severo Donestk. If anything, it looks more like the Russian army is culminating.

Hey shadowminister,

Yes that's fair, I play by the same rules.
They haven't been pushed out, just back a little with the counter offensive.
I could certainly add more info I got today, but I'd rather keep my word.
I haven't taken offense to anything you've said, and I hope you haven't taken me the wrong way either.

Hi AC,

What you don't realise is the Ukrainians are about to unleash their secret weapon! shonkyminister is about to ride in on his trusty steed, "Ned" (short for Ned Kelley) his trusty sword in hand, then those Russian Cossacks will feel the thrust of shonky's cold steel! That will set em' running, all the way back to Moscow! I say remember Balaclava! But this time instead of the 600, it will only be shonky on "Ned" his trusty steed. I have written a short poem to commemorate shonky's mighty deed.

Half a meter, half a meter,
Half a meter onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode shonky.
‘Forward, shonky!
Charge for the guns!’ he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode shonky.

I suggest every one frame their second quarter 2022 electricity bill, & hang it on the wall. Then do the same with each second quarter power bill each year.

Perhaps a box of tissues should be mounted alongside to dry the tears I'm sure will flow when receiving the next couple of years "GREEN" Labor power bills.

I did this recently with my first power bill received after buying this place. A little happy nostalgia to see the $215 1992 bill, against the $880 of the current one, when now there are 3 less people living here. We certainly have a lot to thank Peter Beattie for.

Hassy,

With LNP government inflation your bill should now be $956, like you are $76 better off today than you were in 1992. Frame that bill.

BTW Hassy; what were you paying for you spats and straw hat back in 1922, four and sixpence halfpenny me thinks. Bet you're paying a lot more now days, to be the well dressed man-about-town as I'm sure you are.
