As a kid I thought nuclear power generated electricity directly.
Was flabbergasted when I realised they just use the heat to boil water. Still so primitive.

Well, it is an old joke… They don’t close their mouths long enough to build up any pressure.

That famous people are role models.

Over time, so many have been exposed as creeps, dishonest jerks, nasty people, rapists, and paedophiles.

Ronnie Johns' "Chopper" commented on, "P Diddy". "Sounds like what one pervert does to another pervert in a public toilet." Prophetic.

And yet, look how many of them expect to be believed when it comes to anything political..... look how many of them supported covid vaccinations!

Hi Guys,
As a very young kid growing up the last of 6 kids. when we had our stereo on at home and listening to the radio.
My late dad was in the lounge room listening to the radio and i asked him about the Stereo and his reply was " There is a little man inside the Stereo talking".

So one day when dad was at work i got behind the Stereo, then opened the top of it because it had a Record Player in it also. My mum saw me and said " what are you doing?
I told her looking for the little man that talks inside the Stereo. Who the hell told you that? Dad did i told her, then she walked away laughing.
