Mandy Lifeboats Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I have a viewpoint on a topic. I am willing to argue with you. Let's start. My viewpoint is that we need more of this thing. It should be provided free by the government. Other countries do this. That's why their mobile phone reception is better than ours. If you disagree you are undoubtedly mistaken.

A'Villan Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We just experienced a considerable earthquake here in Melbourne, at least by our standards. Had the whole house shake for a period of time where I thought it best to get the dog and vacate in the event the house buckled and came down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidolon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yes! Definitely felt a tremor here and apparently one of the taller buildings in the city got evacuated Can't remember the last time an earthquake was big news here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night's "A House Through Time" mentioned the Dogger Bank one of 1931. Leeds Mercury headline was "Night of Terror - Yorkshire Worst Affected". Total casualties?

In a bar in an ISO container, on the walls they have loads of pictures of the explosions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2022 I’ve been reading some of the posts made on here yesterday and just realised that while normally they’re briefly labelled as “Posted yesterday” (after initially being labelled as “Posted 2 hours ago” etc) all the ones from yesterday are labelled as “Posted 31st December 2021”. This is of course correct, but to me it makes the posts appear older. All the posts from yesterday haven’t gone through their “posted X hours ago/posted yesterday” life journey. Brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 My sister's fishing boat attracted an Orca to swim right up within metres of the boat and her friends dive float where they were free diving. They realise they have tuna on board and one of the blokes aboard says let's get the f*** out of here. My sisters message informed me they had the divers scramble on board before that happened.

PussEKatt Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When I was walking to my friends place,this old couple talked to me ( I often pass their place on my way to my mates but we usually just say hellow ) during the conversation he mentioned that they dont owne a mobile phone ( too new-fangled ) I said that I have just bought a new one and they can have my old one.I said I would show them how to use it as I said people their age should have one,even if only for emergencies. So I gave them the phone and showed them the basics,then I offered to put their address book on the phone so thay only have to look up a name and press a button.What suprised me ( and I find this really sad ) is that they only had 2 numbers to put in their address book (their son and daughter ) you hear about lonely old people but this episode brought home to me what that really means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
