I'm with you, T1!

Bluddy cicadas...

Grew up next to a bush block (coupla acres), & had to walk through another one to school.
("walk to school"... remember that?)
Summertime we'd arrive at school with temporary deafness from the cicadas!
Let's ban 'em, I say!!


Mind you, the snakes used to give us the occasional hurry-up, too!

Regarding the cicadas, I drove up Bulli Pass on Sunday and due to the cicada racket I could not hear the car radio or the sound of vehicle passing. I do miss the fun we had with fireworks when I was a teenager.

In NZ the brown & black cicadas do not hatch in the same yr but sometimes things go awry and then you know what noise is but I actually liked to walk through my 8 acres of native bush right on the beach with all that noise, then I had to let it go BTW How is your packing going Ray?

[Greynomad]

Boxes, wall to wall!
Uplift two weeks today...

Currently living on meals prepared in advance, and using plastic cutlery.
On 13th we move into Girt for 2 nights while The Big Clean takes place prior to move.

Oh I expect fireworks from that remark Mr Terry here is one= bloody ridiculous, but I still love you

Awww.... What part was ridiculous? The banning of cicadas maybe?

[Dot]

No you don't

Is anyone watching the tennis (Brisb one) can you see ALL of the score board that is in the bottom L) of the screen? Not going to watch any more that grunter is driving me crazy. But how cool is Roger F. ? Also does anyone know how to cut the bottom off a wine bottle?

[dream4red]

Not watching tennis, but the wine bottle thing is tricky. You could try using a glass cutter? Maybe find a nice person who plays with glass in your area? I dunno, never tried it. I remember back in the good ol days that Ktel (remember them?) used to flog a kit specially to cut off the bottom of wine bottles. Cant remember why anyone would want to do just that though. Why do you want to do that Dot?

[Newcastle George]

Try tying a piece of string, soaked in metho, around it, the bottle that is, and set it alight. Regarding the tennis, set the screen size to 16x9, I think that's how I overcame the problem.
