Landipso, the only crypto that leaks oil?

In light of the usual volatile and fluctuating value of crypto currency, a land rover based crypto could be - lucas-coin

That'd be the one that lets the smoke out of the 'puters as it's being mined

That one is already owned by the Prince of Darkness.

I really am starting to think there is only one hour of news a day, that they just play 24 times over.

A whole hour?? Seems to be way beyond the attention threshold to me. 140 characters is the norm these days. Oh, wait, twits can double that to 280.... Pity Stephen Hawking is dead, he could have revelled in the freedom.

Sorry, but there are some folks who need to come back to earth. AULUO is about equals.

I remember many years ago in New Zealand a TV news announcer left stating sarcastically " they are playing 38 second long news bites with no real facts in them that are designed to appeal to the brain dead in society and then repeat them........."

You as well,eh?


Don't even put the "news" on in the morning these days. ABC- FM cops it. Watching the "news" reduced the early morning time for a bloody good argument down to a aprox. 1/2 hour. & that can't be right.

Nothing like a bit of yer mozart to start the day off well.

Some of the announcers have no idea, they will introduce the next news item of a tragedy with a smile on their face, sometimes I even expect to make a slip and say something like, "thanks to our reporter for bringing us that tragic story....and we love it".
