Oil and the subsequent enrichment of US petroleum companies is the only focus.

I honestly think there is an element of
I can therefore I will.

Imagine the buzz Trump gets giving the final nod for the military to go, sitting in the situation room, and sitting there watching it all happen.

The only way he gets the oil is if someone takes power in Venezuela, which will almost certainly be someone from within the regime, and agrees to his demands.
 
Seconded on the theme parks, the kids (and big kids) will love them.

Tambourine is a very pretty little "artsy" town with great views back down to the coast.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is nice for a relaxing day.

There are lots of water based activities, jet skis, jet boats, parasailing, cruises - not cheap but it is a great waterway.

Hope that helps.

44 years ago Currumbin was magic for me as a kid

Craig the elephant and I have corresponded as pen pals since I was 8. We've slept in the same house on our various trips to each others countries where we've had great times celebrating birthdays which are just days apart. Due to ill health of more recent years when travel was more difficult for both of us, we had our most mature deep face time conversations via online chat.

Simply put, what you're reading about Craig right now isn't the elephant I have known.
 
Plenty to celebrate with Maduro gone though.



Fingers crossed for what comes next and the future is uncertain, but Maduro gone is an amazing outcome for the Venezualan people and creates far more hope for the future than we had yesterday.

I employed a Venezuelan guy who had fled for economic reasons some years ago.

I asked him what he thought of last night's events and he was very forthright and unequivocal in his praise for the American action.

He has skin in the game, I am very happy for him. Let's hope this leads to a return to democracy and a weakening of the cartels which have aa but destroyed the country.
 
Had Venezuelan workmate who didn't like Maduro all that much but he said any Americans "bringing democracy" could potentially just be another Iraq. There are a lot of weapons and armed groups already in the region because of the nearby Colombian insurgency.

The other potential blowback is it emboldens Russia in Ukraine and China in Taiwan

Maduro should've just bribed the US like the Honduran president who got 45 years for drug trafficking but got pardoned.

I'm always ready to throw down about how pronouncing the word how it's spelt is simply the logical course of action, but then you remember we have 'Cockburn'.
Named after Sir George Cockburn, who amongst other things directed the burning of Washington in 1814.

I wonder if he pronounced it the WA way?
 
How are we so bad at playing spin?
Too many dot balls putting our team under pressure.

As great as Marsh is he faces a lot of dot balls and turns 2s into 1s a lot. Faced nearly half an innings of dot balls today and also didn't hit a single two.

T20s are won by teams that make the most of as many balls as possible. That's consistent singles, turning 1s into 2s and hitting boundaries. People tend to focus on only the boundaries but unless the pitch is a highway a lot more than that goes into making a good score.
 
WA might, to my knowledge, be the only place in the English speaking world it is not pronounced darby
So we park out car on the karb!
We have Darby as a name. Not spelt Derby.
From memory in America, there are horse races , where one is pronounced Derby, and another Darby.
But hearing West Aussie commentators saying Darby annoys me.
How about, during footy season the Fox and 7 be told in WA our game is a DERBY. ER not Ar. Derby
We say say Al bany. They say All bany.
