I just got frustrated with it Peter. With Squareword you can work it out but with Quordle you can take 6 guesses to get one word even with 3 or more letters. Guess is all you can do.

When I was exploring some time in the past I believe I saw something that said it has 3300+ words in its database. Of course I could be wrong as I often am.

You must be close to getting it as an albatross. I think there is only another 2000 odd words in its list ... πŸ˜‚

My Friday Oz classic is of course the song I alluded to in my word quiz post. Many consider this the best Aussie song of all time.

James Paterson managed to keep a straight face when telling Sky News that religion based political parties would be a retrograde step. He said that knowing full well he is a member of the Pentecostal Liberal Party. #auspol

All good. Mum and I have worked out our issues and my "new" brother is fantastic, as are his kids. I am happy to be here near them. We are all going to the footy at Optus Stadium when the next derby is on.

Exactly. I'm only 62 and have found that as I get older I do some of the things that Biden does. Lose my train of thought mid sentence, forget things more often and fall asleep at times I don't want to. It is purely aging as my cognitive abilities are just fine.

A mother I hadn't seen for nearly 50 years until we met up in Tasmania in 2015. I also have a half-brother who I met for the first time last Christmas. I didn't even know he existed until about 10 years ago.

The Kangas are further advanced that the Eagles are at this stage. They have some great kids and one of the best power forwards in the business. They need just a couple of tall defenders/forwards and midfielders to be really competitive.

$360B of housing over 15 years? Each one earning revenue compared to 3 submarines which will keep costing us money. Makes too much sense for our government.

Yeah, sit on your backside and wait 15 years for a sub that may or may not get here and be paid over $100k per year. My kind of job.

I get a daily job alert from Adzuna. The alert is supposed to be based on my preferences which I set ages ago. Yesterday's top match was Nuclear Submarine Officer. Today the top match is not so bad but it is with the NSW government which is apparently based in West End Qld.

I was wondering that myself. The Supreme Court obviously had Trump in mind when they made their decision but it must surely apply to Biden right now.

I'm wondering how I can get a gig with the NACC. 12 months in and they have achieved nothing. I can't imagine anyone on their level of salary keeping their job while producing nothing. There was so much corruption during the past 10 years they should have charged multiple people.

When I was a lad, barely in my teens, we used to trap and kill rabbits. Breaking their necks was the quickest, most humane way of killing them. We would skin them and sell them for pocket money. If we were able to keep the kidneys in them we could sell them for more.
