when the park does issue a bill(they are late, I'm not), then I will have two keys made

That doesn't make any sense? Bills are demands for money that have to be paid. So why will paying a bill give you money you don't have now to buy new keys??

If you have to ask, you aren't in the US.

The USA is a nice place to visit with nice people, but I'm glad I don't live there, with all the guns and an out of control President.

Chris, it's not that bad. I have only had a gun pointed at me twice. Once was my brother getting even because I had shot him. (bb guns). The other time someone was robbing the sporting goods store I managed. I'm a little slow sometimes I guess. I took the gun from him and tried to upsell him a better one. He was not a happy camper. But I had the gun.

As for the out of control president, well I am sure it will not last. He will do something to get himself impeached sooner of later.

Oh and I have no idea what the 21C is either and I do live here.

And I was trained to shoot by 3 Aussie snipers who spent time living off the land and taking targets out by themselves without any backup during the Korean War (yes it was a war that has never ended and my dad was 1 of them).

At 14 I was out shooting all 3 of them (my dad was the 2nd best of them), and I can still head shoot bunnies at 200-250m for the slow cooker anytime.

No glasses and no scopes required for a good feed of under ground mutton here.

Cheers.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Does that mean that world is controlled by right handed Guardian readers???

Lmao...

ROFLMAO. I'm nicking this one for prosperity :-)

Be afraid, very very afraid ......

Actually I know some Grauniad readers that are far more intelligent than me (hard to believe I know ....) and it bothers me that they actually read the damn thing. It can only be that they like a good laugh over muesli for breakfast to start the day.

Grauniad

In my experience, Intelligence (as measured by IQ tests) is not a measure of wisdom, or common sense (which I think belies it's name, being not at all common). Thus leading to experts and people with high IQ levels coming out with some VERY doubtful ideas and statements. ( e.g. "Why is MENSA so elitist? It should be more easy to join.")

I don't know Mensa, but I just got 98/100 in the tests of an online course on Gravitation by Diderot University of Paris. That is enough for me at 82.

I heard people are looking for gold that may have been uncovered where the spillway eroded.

Yes it has started a new gold rush. It stirs up the stream bed and that makes it possible to find some.

Well I called around, the 2 other locksmiths are mobile only, $80 is what one quoted, A2Z is still closed, and it's a Monday...

Isn't there a hardware store of some kind around? Many of them can make keys.

Most people using these forums probably have a mobile phone, and even if they don't have a phone they'd have mobile coverage in their area.
9th of March, 2017. William Creek mobile phone service goes live.

For the first time, the town's residents and tourists passing through can use their mobile phones...

And if you watch the video- yes, those are light aircraft parked up next to the pub.
It is a small, very remote, town.

Hope your pre-op goes OK. Normally its a last minute check that you are still breathing and have a pulse. Then to give you the final instructions for the big day (when to stop eating & drinking, when to turn up, what to take with you, estimated time of escape)

Be careful with that gas, zoom314 (by the way, I know your real name), but the point is that such a thing could be a prelude to disaster.

Handling such a thing as gas the wrong way and you also should be aware of the possible consequences.

Therefore, in your situation, take the advice of being careful here when dealing with this.

(by the way, I know your real name)

So do most of us, therefore, your point is?

What happened to the two ceramic heaters that you bought with the gofundme money for your heater repair? They might be dearer but a damn site safer.

But why 80F?

Government health advice is that living rooms should be heated to temperatures of 21C (70F) and the rest of the house to 18C (64F). Its Cold Weather Plan states: ‘If you can’t heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room throughout the day and your bedroom just before you go to bed.

Probably to warm the room up and make it last until he falls asleep and won't notice the temperature drop off.

. But you can't give Vic any advice can you.

You can try but usualy end up getting that advice hidden by a moderator , wonder why ? ( A.I.I.D.F.K ! )

Life is what you make of it :-)

When i'm good i'm very good , but when i'm bad i'm shi#eloads better ;-) In't I " buttercups " p.m.s.l at authoritie !!;-)

Well I certainly didn't know where else to stick it?

Is this guy certifiable or what?

O yeah?

Nope.

A: He's putting his money where his mouth is.

B: He's taking a stab at assisting to solve the world's energy crisis.

What's certifiable about that?

He does tend to overstate what he can do, but it's well intentioned.

Well Carlos this time it might cost him rather more then he reckons!!

But of course it is all a marketing exercise

Tesla launched its Powerwall 2 in Australia, the world's top market for rooftop solar, this week.

Well, seeing as how Forbes estimates his net worth at 12.9 Billion, I reckon he can take the gamble.
