    I also learned that @taniwharugby spends waaay too much time on here, again giving lie to his being an excellent lover

    Combine being on here with all the TV series he watches , does the dude ever sleep? Legend.

    He's got nothing on @Bones who I'm sure set's his alarm just so he can rip apart my posts at 2am his time.

    For a self proclaimed tough guy, you sure do whine a shitload lady. How's your mum?

    I've never said I'm tough, certainly not on the fern. Also Mum said can you please stop texting her.

    According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute for the decade 2010-19 Australia was the worlds 4th largest importer of arms at $US12.27 Billion - behind only India, Saudi Arabia and China.

    NZ was 74th with $334 Million.

    There's a lot of capital replacement in that. Some of it long overdue.

    Today I was reading about the Bardney rock festival in 1972. Check this out for a lineup:

    Love Monty python being in there.
    Brewers Droop is a classic name for a band.
    I also learnt that The Average White Band are still performing even in our modern PC world with Black Lives Mattering. Worth noting that they did have a darker skinned guy at times, probably should have gone with Average Mostly White Band.

    Funny How Billy Joel isn't one of the biggest headline acts.

    Promoters sure set themselves up for problems in those days. You'd have to ban performers from turning up more than a day out from their gig so they were capable of taking the stage.

    In the 'things I learned' part. I just read up some more about Baldry while trying to place this festival in his timeline and read that he was apparently the last person to see Marc Bolan alive. Interviewed him just before he drove away forever.
