Oh deary deary me for anyone trying to be a twit in:

Various placenames that include the name of a male bird...


....
...
noun

A cone-shaped pile of straw or hay.
An adult male chicken;
a rooster;
An adult male of various other birds.


Coming from the Old English for heaps or hillocks, ....s is most likely a modern spelling of the word .....


Also can mean that something is "skew whiff"...


Oh the joys of human language!

Enjoy!!

Whatever happened to the 4' (1.2m) between house and fence rule?

‘Very confused’: Shock as Gold Coast dream homes built just 40cm apart.


Now that is totally ridiculous and 1 has to wonder if the council members who approved this had working brains at the time and if so where were those brains?

I've built hundreds of houses with 4-inch air gaps between them. They look attached. There is a much higher builder liability on attached townhomes. So to avoid it we put air gaps between them. It does take a mindful crew to build in the correct order. Once a wall is done you can't complete the next one.

These are 2 different houses on 2 different blocks- not duplexes on a single block.

Ford is making a return. Is Ferrari being attacked again?

Ford announces F1 return with Red Bull Racing.

The blue oval is set to take on the world’s fastest car companies with a new tilt at the top echelon of global motorsport...

Well I'm not surprised at the price as the cost just to get it airworthy will be astronomical.

Elvis Presley’s private jet sells at auction for $404,000.

It really should've been sold decades ago before it got into such a sad state.

Cheers.

That was an expensive mistake.

A NSW man has made a “bloody expensive mistake”, pouring 230 litres of fuel that should have gone into his tank somewhere else.

A NSW fisherman has made a “bloody expensive mistake” at the bowser, accidentally filling up his rod holder instead of the fuel tank and wasting 231 litres of petrol.

In a Snapchat video shared to the popular fishing page Fishing Sydney on Friday, several people were seen hosing down the asphalt around a boat, which was parked at a 7-Eleven pump in West Pennant Hills in Sydney’s northwest.

“Guys, don’t make this mistake ever,” says the man behind the camera, as he pans to a fuel gauge displaying an eye-watering $536.76 worth of fuel — or 231 wasted litres...
You'd think that a boat owner would know the difference between a rod holder and a filler cap.

Cheers.
