The ‘higher employee engagement’ was easy. Sack 600 people so that the people that are left have to be more ‘highly engaged’ (i.e. doing two jobs for the same money).

‘Phil Rudd, drummer for Australian rock ‘n’ roll royalty AC/DC, is selling up decades worth of memorabilia and giving the proceeds to charity.

The 69-year-old New Zealand-born rocker made the decision in honour of his “best friend” and “love of life” Toni Wilson, who has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and may not see it until the end of the year.

He will sell up rare items collected over his 48 years with one of the world’s biggest-selling rock bands, as well as a drum kit and one of his sports cars.

“I’d give it all up, throw it on a bonfire, if it meant it would give Toni more time,” Rudd told stuff.co.nz over the weekend.

“It’s my way of coping, I suppose. It’s just a little thing, ‘

Now there’s a charity auction that’s bound to raise a hefty sum, and for a notably good cause..

Terrible about his partner, Toni Wilson, though. I hope that she doesn’t suffer much.

Possibly not.

When i was with Westpac’s network change management, some people implemented some changes that didn’t go as planned.

The effects included knocking the bank’s currency traders off the network for some time. They could neither buy nor sell currencies.

Unfortunately, this coincided with a severe and sudden dip in the value of the Australian dollar, which the bank could therefore not offset by converting Australian dollars to other currencies. This cost the bank umpty squillion dollars.

A number of people had to front the full board of the bank, me included. They asked me why i had not ensured that the changes were thoroughly vetted and approved before implementation.

I was able to demonstrate that i had not been told that there were any changes contemplated, and that this was a ‘rogue’ implementation that i couldn’t review because i didn’t know it was happening. I had e-mails and correspondence to back me up.

A number of people left that room newly unemployed. I was not one of them. But i beat it to the pub quick-smart for a large, strong drink.

For those wondering why I included Cornwall…

《When Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity 1549, which established the 1549 edition of the English Book of Common Prayer as the sole legal form of worship in England, including Cornwall, people in many areas of Cornwall did not speak or understand English. The passing of this Act was one of the causes of the Prayer Book Rebellion, with “the commoners of Devonshyre and Cornwall” producing a manifesto demanding a return to the old religious services and included an article that concluded, “and so we the Cornyshe men (whereof certen of us understande no Englysh) utterly refuse thys newe Englysh.”
The Prayer Book Rebellion, which may also have been influenced by the retaliation of the English after the failed Cornish Rebellion of 1497, was ruthlessly suppressed: over 4,000 people who protested against the imposition of an English prayer book were massacred by Edward VI’s army. Their leaders were executed and the people suffered numerous reprisals.》

Along the lines of The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?

A catchy title, isn’t it?

Lovely idea, but there seemed to be a few memos lost along the way between the ‘brainstorming’ and ‘implementation’ stages of the project.

Results were less than optimal.

No, just other things that also go well. The cauliflower is good because it’s got lots of nooks and crannies so it holds a lot of cheese sauce.

Broccoli i can take, in modest amounts. Even enjoy.

If Canada acquires nuclear weapons, embarks on an enormous military and naval expansion, begins talking about avenging a century of national humiliation, institutes a widespread programme of denial of human rights to its citizens, conducts a nationwide system of surveillance of its people and categorisation of their ‘reliability’, interns foreign nationals (incommunicado) for long periods without valid reasons, claims e.g. Iceland as belonging to Canada, adopts aggressive military posturing towards e.g. Iceland and other nations in the region, seems quite willing to risk starting a major war over it all…who can say what might happen?

That’s just the sort of thing they’d declare.

So, sovcit, just when did you, or you parents, or your grandparents, actually have the freedom to drive around without a license, in an unregistered vehicle, at any speed you liked, and park your vehicle anywhere you felt inclined?

Never? Well, you can’t lose something you never had, now can you?

LOL. OK, what about the US and UK owning huge swathes? Your “argument” is a load of cobblers. Still, USA and UK are like us so that’s OK.

But not for long. We’ll likely lose our sovereignity through AUKUS.

Once Empire, Always Empire ¡

Though we’re not sure about the “what about” part, we thought those were what Canada was being compared to ¿¡

While shepherds washed their socks by night
And hung them on the line
The Angel of the Lord came down
And said those socks are mine

Fear not he said though they be red
You washed them not with whites
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
They weren’t in with my tights

If you see David down this way
He’s bound to say this line
I’ll separate the colours, Lord
And things will turn out fine

O laundry maid did you not read
The instructions displayed
I must complain, look at this stain
Don’t think that you’ll be paid

My laundry sack produced forthwith
A purple, once-white thong
I also think that thong has shrunk
Can’t get the damned thing on

O God my thong it sure is high
How it hurt my cod-piece
Good grief I can’t wear it again
It slips right up my crease

Why are Bananas Bad Luck on a boat, is an unusual nautical superstition that began in the 1700’s that is still persistent today. When trade ships sailing from the Caribbean & Spain started to disappear, legend has it that only the curved yellow fruits would be found floating amongst the wreckages. Seafarers believed the bananas had caused the ship to sink. Which leads to many rumors back at dock and throughout the seas.

Fisherman also believe Bananas are bad luck, as well as blame them for not catching fish, mechanical issues, or even bad weather. One reason could be that Bananas are naturally sweet and sticky, and they also release ethylene gas which some believe that acts as a natural fish repellent.

Along with Bananas on board the boats being fish repellant they also have been said to cause mechanical issues on well-maintained vessels. Some have said they had the bait well quit on them and killed all their bat before they even began fishing, some have also said they arrive at the first spot, drop anchor and then the boat won’t start back up. Any of us who’ve experienced boat trouble knows the unique feeling of helplessness of drifting in the wind on a boat with a dead motor, hoping someone comes by and tows you back to the ramp.

Call it what you want, but many report going out on a gorgeous day, with no rain or storms in the forecast, only to be chased back to shore by thunderous clouds, pouring rain and worst… Lightning! If you’ve ever been in a FL storm, but when you are the tallest thing on the water and lightning starts to strike the water next to you and you are blinded by the light (no pun intended) is never a fun time.

So, we are not taking the chance with this happening to us, so We DO NOT Allow Bananas onboard ANY of our Fishing Boats/Trips

True story

Sometimes these naff headlines are just misrepresentation of interesting papers.

Not this time. This is the least interesting news ever. I can track the location of people in the house using me ear’oles and I’ve always assumed cats would be better at this than I am.

Not a meme, but faaaaark!!

It was named after the aboriginal name for the plant and has since been given to several plants.

What we mean is, the etymology was sufficiently proximate that the pun is not profound.

No that one was too deep for us to get, we’re quite a superficial SCIENCE really.

In general, there are way too many lawns. Work from that if you will.
