@pakman Fortunately for us, nearly 50% of world production is in Australia.
WELL, if we're trying to save the world by moving to electric machinery, then the 'benefit' of Aussie lithium oxide rocks being shipped to China, where coal powered machinery refines it, is somewhat hard to get excited about!

The Kominsky Method (2018-21)What a hilarious, bizarre flick that one was ! I must see it again for nostalgias sake.
Really likeable performer, this was also an awesome small role in an otherwise uneven movie.
RIP, thanks for the memories.

@MiketheSnow Always seemed to turn up at a picket line.
Great actress and good for her in actually standing successfully as an MP rather than wank on from the sidelines. For me, a bit of a racist who thought it OK to call pro-Israeli Jews Nazis and who defended Corbyn's antisemitism.
Is Corbyn an anti-Semite or anti-Israel?
Good question. But probably not the thread to discuss this.

It's double the export value here!

Tea and Dilmah Tea Parties at the cricket. A life well lived.
Apparently all the tea in hospices in NZ is supplied for free by Dilmah . There’s probably a lot more stuff this guy did that will come to light over the next few weeks.

A very good journalist and broadcaster IMO and sad to see him gone so young but by the cringe, haven’t the BBC gone over the top? I was watching the afternoon news and it was a good 20 minutes about George, meanwhile there were a few minor stories being given a footnote. Ukraine mounting a drone attack on Moscow was one 🙄

Not to metion the obligatory BBC presenter breaking down in tears when the news is announced.
