OK Straitman here is a challenge for you.

Saw some hawaii volcano footage from a tourist boat, looked amazing. Such destruction but so beautiful to watch - as long as its not your house or livelihood going up in flames.

Had a great day today, couldn't find my original selection (no surprise there!), but I went to two Flughafen museums and one DDR museum.

Flugplatzmuseum Cottbus e.V. and here Luftfahrttechnischer Museumsverein Rothenburg e.V and here DDR Museum Burg/Spreewald

plus yesterday I saw this and I want one., it would fit nicely down the driveway.

Are these harvesting machines?

I have a friend whose job is to travel the world, teaching new owners of very expensive harvesting machines how to use all the new GPS ect tech in the machine. He was moved to Australia for a while because we were buying up big for a while.

I hope your daughter is drinking good old fashioned tap water.

Not yet. She's still drinking boiled water and daddy's filtered/bottle water.

P.S. The tap water in our apartment tastes and smells awful. Perhaps old pipes.

I just mentioned it hoping she was getting some fluoride to strengthen her teeth enamel.

You pay for it at purchase anyway so it's not a profit. Should be considered as a discount really, with a convoluted claims process!

Very convoluted indeed.

I used to know a family that collected cans at the rubgy league many years ago. The parents couldn't work and were bringing up 5 kids. They'd make a fortune with the current refunds.

Husband: When was the last time you emptied the dishwasher?
Me: When was the last time you made me dinner?

Its been a while now, hes still thinking and I think hes gone back 20yrs so far.

20 years...

Thanks. Can confirm from bite marks that her teeth are strong.

Given all the talk about Hamilton, I guess I should have a think about going to see it. Looks like midday tomorrow is the time to give it a shot......

Hamilton announces new West End booking period

I find it difficult to book ahead as my diary (and Mrs Flashback's) change so often - settled on an early January date as I know we will be in the UK. Managed to find 2 tickets for £75 very close to the front, smack bang in the middle.

The £20 and £37.50 tickets seemed to be made of fairies, didn't see them on any dates I searched, but suspect those would not have given us a good view from the stalls and would have been in one of the circles so that worked well.

Of course my client meeting ran overtime and I ended up jumping off the tube mid-journey to sit at the station on the WiFi and get on right at 12 midday.

Maybe he was asking a different question.

He opened the dishwasher only to see dishes in it. Not wanting to get in trouble for putting in a dirty dish when contents have been recently washed - he asked you the question?

Sounds good. I guess they want to clear the stock before store closure.

It was the last one. Still under the hotbox. Hopefully still ok

The Guatemala eruption of Volcan de Fuego looks a bad 'un. Guatemala volcano eruption kills 25, lava hampers rescue effort Another silica-rich one, like the Cascades Volcanoes of western USA that tend to go 'bang' rather than just spurt, effuse and fountain like Hawaii.

I suspect what is being reported as lava flows are probably lahars or maybe nuée ardente . Either one is bad news.

clearly London is the place to watch it - your seats sound similar to mine, but way way cheaper!

You will find out soon

The burden of bearing witness is light for those who come after.
The debt is to humanity so humanity does not find itself in dark places like these again

Do we ever learn?

I am sure you will be fine. I am happy to grab a discount chook as long as it doesn't look dried up.
