    Im prepairing for an unatural disaster as I type. Some typhoon thingy has gone over Vietnam and is coming this way. The thunder is ominously a deep roar--- oh there we go- and it is getting dark and its only 10am. My windows are rattlling like they did when the next door niehgbour used to have a Harley.

    And the birds have stopped singing!!! nothing much to sing about if you live in a tree in a thunder storm.

    Oi, - Frosty, - that IS a NATURAL event in the grand scheme of things - Are you suffering or something?

    Hi longcours62
    Errrrr - and the banks are closed ? ? ? ? but if you took a punt, and after that, it happened you may get away, but I doubt it...

    It is a wonder that the people there have not developed gills... Last year huge floods on the eastern side and uphill floods several years earlier (tsunami) - And Australia experienced something similar, - - two rainy seasons in a row :eek: :eek: :eek: - - Is there a message there somewhere ? ? ?

    Nope not rained yet, boy when the BBc gets it wrong its really Wrong.

    When it rains a lot --here in the tropics we tend to call that the rainy season. It affects everything even happy hour.

    Its absolutely pi pi pi precipitating it down. Oh no now it even harder and oh my god the telly gone off. bummer thing about satalite TV--it goes off when the clouds are thick.

    Not bad really when you think its coming from Mars.

    Strange though America has talent is still on channel 126.

    I love that Siman Cowel --hes British you know. I could do that job --and for half the price--no quarter,--wait how much is he on and what thread is this.

    I think this thread needs awakening (piracy - off topic type ? ? ).... http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow/2012/08/08/ - and another site, http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/ - for both, It is part of a free marketing ploy, but has well based research and could be of interest as the sky is not falling and likely will never fall but economies are well overdue for "whimper like collapse" into the black rectum of global debt that is too big to repay...

    The Milleniumists are at it again quoting multiple UFO sightings over the London Games (I ask WTF why ? ? ? ) and declaring that the Mayan Calendar is validated by the writing in the crops - Oh well uni-students had fun for a while? I know where there is another message in large capital letters mown into the paddock near where my boat is resting 'on the hard'...

    Standard Chartered fiddles millions for renegade Iran and it barely brings headlines.

    The behaviour of banks has become so low it just doe'snt surprise any more seemingly lowered to the lowest,-- people just sigh and carry on.

    Is this their tactic to numb us into not caring anymore like a juvenile delinquent left to his own ways.

    They will have to pay a fine for this --about 10% of what they earned, but--but --its not their money --its ours. The government get it and we wonder why government tolerate this behavior.

    Im sure they wont do it again after such severe punishment.

    Corperate funding of individual party election campaigns must stop. Pure corruption. Pssst we are not supposed to notice or be clever enough to see it.

    Oh well one never knows for certain, as one of the podcasters is talking about the first drone attack on an "American" and "Goldman Sachs, what will they have to say?", in the same weird sentence...

    And one lad at the "Yard" is another watcher of non-main-stream news and events and is fully versed on being alert and watching for game changing events - Think a huge shift in the goalposts ... before this year is out, tied by timing to the Mayan calendar? - - - - WTF now ? ?

    I will sit happily on my boat and fish and sneak tomato and other seeds in likely places to rediscover later when they have grown and produced fruit...
