I haven't noticed that.

(Old timers here will recall that I chased an aboriginal bloke out of my motel room in Derby after I found him rummaging through my stuff whilst I was in the shower. I was nude when I chased him a short way.)

Does it ever get cold in Derby?

These days you'd probably be bang to rights for Indecent Exposure or Racism for stopping him nicking your goods without entitlement.

Good point,but seeing Ron starkers he probably ran off the fastest he has run for a long time.

Any rights were probably the last thing on the intruder’s mind.

There's a thing. If it happened to Sailor Boy, he would have passed him down the road & tripped him up or spiked his tyres.
Uttering the words:

"ere you bastard, gimme me togs back, the Q Store has thems booked out to me."


But then I don't know if he has even been to Derby.

Trivia 1
Sea ward Derby several times. I did drive to Cape Leveque One Arm Point.... at 110kph returning to Broome at about 10kph after it rained in a Pootroll which had several ++++++ KG of nice red clay all over it before I got back to Broome

I could see Derby but Alas

Trivia 2
"The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble Space Telescope is - it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2. What is special about this orbit is that it lets the telescope stay in line with the Earth as it moves around the Sun. This allows the satellite's large sunshield to protect the telescope from the light and heat of the Sun and Earth (and Moon)."

Trivia 3
There are four Lagrange points


Trivia 4
Other Trivia is some scientist call the JWST Just Wonderful Space Telescope for a reason they do not like James The Telescope is wonderful happily
