yeah and france brings up some of its territories.

 

[koshari]

I like how you've been to a little bit of South America because you've been to France! Presumably New Caledonia as well.
What did you use to make that?

just googled an online country counter and this was one that popped up, have actually been to new caladonia so it was fair it popped up, but you are correct there is another french territory somewhere in south amarica shaded i haven't visited, barbados is selected but to small to see.

Think we can all agree this was all ferball's fault;

Military?

 

[Val Keating]

I wish people would exercises as much as they argue!!!!

If Chad exercised as much as he argued he’d be David Goggins.

 

[koshari]

Military?

Nah mostly long service leave at half pay and banking time in leu. Used to get away 3 to 5 months most winters, farming and renovating sort of changed that. For now at least.

Probably more caravanning in Au in the next chapter,

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post political stuff in here, but this Chinese military parade is just intense:



The leaders of the whole alternative world order seem to be there - China, Russia, Nth Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Belarus...

It is amazing (concerning?) to see this block come together like this.

I haven't been to the Maldives (did spend 3 weeks in Mauritius though) or Middle East (apart from Egypt and a few stopovers in Dubai) - would love to do Moscow/St Petersburg, Russia in general and cricket in India, that's on the old bucket list.

Was really a minor event, did you happen to see what Trump displayed in Alaska at his meeting with Putin? Those blokes are like the Tstatas' of the World Police. Look good on paper, but can't hit targets/bombs don't always work!

The Russian stuff would be good, but you'd have to worry about the rest, especially as the lowest bidder would have probably won the contract (except NK obv lol)

went to day one of this game,

Test match in Delhi in November 2007 at the Feroz Shah Kotla (now Arun Jaitley Stadium).


Match details:
Date: 23–26 November 2007

Was at the beginning of our india trip, also watched England and Sri lanka tests at Gaule and Columbo a few weeks later, we finished off with Xmas at the beach at Goa ( suckling pork roast chistmas lunch at a beach hut) and NYE at mumbai drinking in a permit room.

I honestly have no idea who that is.

 

[ferball]

I honestly have no idea who that is.

He was a former Liberal party federal minister who authorised the leasing of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company with state ties then left Parliament to take a job with the same company.
