With bonus suffering!

Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?

It was a US made Bell 212

Looks like Miller’s Batman

Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.

Could you use a command strip or something?

Yeah, but how do you propose I take my van to Fraser Island once a year to drive over turtle nests? That ute that I claim under tax because it’s for “business use only” is a necessity!

I get where you’re coming from, and I can always relate to any scepticism around corporate policy. To clarify, specifically, my thoughts around the workplace, they’re entirely dependent on my own experience in small to medium sized companies in Australia with strong culture and policies around this sort of thing.

I recognise that other regions would have differing levels of enforcement and while not every social situation is equitable to expectations at work, in my personal view it’s pretty cut and dry- you shouldn’t need a rule in a social club specifically banning uninvited sexual comments, it’s just a given that you don’t do that.

I’d suggest, also as a male, that it’s a red flag. He’s a new member and his first instinct is to sexually harass a female member, and then double down when he doesn’t get the response he’s looking for.

In any workplace I’ve been in, he’d be sacked. Why should he be given more leniency in a social situation?

Time to start practicing then! Try to get out on a couple of grade 3’s in your area before you head over.

I did it with hiking shoes because that’s all I had with me, but I’d recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There’s a short scramble towards the top but it’s not overly difficult.

Another favourite of that trip was the Old Man of Storr up at the Isle of Skye. It’s a less technical hike but much more exposed to the elements and can get windy.

Also, I’m by no means a photographer. Scotland is just so stupidly pretty that you struggle to take a bad photo- get over there!

I took a hike up in to the Lost Valley in Glen Coe on the recommendation of a very drunk Scotsman at a nightclub in Edinburgh. It was the absolute highlight of my trip and I’m so glad I made it.

“I’m the boss, now you’re fired. How’s that for a fantasy, my friend?”

The word for an occurrence of every two years or for a duration of two years is biennial. Plenty of events are biennial, such as festivals, exhibitions and conferences. The Olympics and Football World Cup are quadrennial.

More details here.

Basically she had written in her diary about her enduring feelings of guilt over the deaths of her children, which is what formed the base of the original case against her. Prosecutors argued that the children were probably smothered, despite there being no physical evidence for that.

A recent enquiry heard new evidence that at least 2 of her children carried a genetic defect that could potentially have caused their deaths, which coupled with the circumstancial nature of the evidence used in the original conviction was enough the NSW governor to pardon her under reasonable doubt. That pardon lead to a trial in the criminal court of appeals which have now acquitted her of the charges.

She was pardoned in June and has subsequently has been acquitted in the criminal court of appeals.

Fingers crossed for parts on hand

Why on earth wouldn’t the boss send you direct to Adelaide? Just about would have been quicker to drive.

Happy jamming!

Have you had a listen to Drive-By Truckers? Southern rock without the yee haw rebel pride.
