computation is very expensive

“How many math geeks does it take to calculate such an accurate cost of a toll?” wonders George Zivkovich of Northmead. “On the Hills M2 highway alone, Class A vehicles cost him $2.76, $3.31, $4.68, and $9.35. There must be.”

Alison Brooks of Hope Island, Queensland and Alan Gibson of Cherry Brook want to make it known that Philadelphia Police Chief Daniel is an outlaw.

“With ‘The Ashes’ now embroiled in controversy, it seems appropriate to move from the American failure (C8) to the story of Old Brighty,” says Point Frederick’s Marion Newall. “In 1974, when my family and I were traveling around England, a petrol station in England refused to give us water to the car on the grounds that the owner was suffering from drought. Understanding his agony, I asked him how long it had been since it rained, and he replied, “Three weeks.”

With that in mind, we agree that, in the interest of national politics, it’s time to end the debate on America with Cranebrook’s David Gordon’s next story. We had passports to visit the German salt mines. Two school teachers from the US were also traveling and noticed that our passports had Queen Elizabeth in them. “Why isn’t the Queen on our passports?” they asked. I replied: “That was in 1776.” When realization began, the response was, “Oh, so we are a republic.” ”

“At Telstra, the switch is on,” says Garry Bryant of Thurguna. “He took the phone to the Telstra shop for repair. Question: ‘When will I be able to pick it up?’ Answer: ‘I will call you.’ ”

The latest example of rock majesty (C8) comes from the Sunshine State, and Cleveland’s Robert Christie wonders how he managed to forget about the Gipsy Kings. Hotel California I can hear ‘Gran, what about the Queens of the Stone Age?’ asks Annalee’s John Elder. “Nothing is much older than the Stone Age.”

“Peter Rumrock’s calculations (C8) are insane,” asserts Jeffrey Gabriel of Gladesville. “Beroura’s antipodes are both east of the meridian, so they can’t be anywhere near Crete. Sydney’s antipodes are off the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic, though they’re still in the water. .”
