Feeling a bit bored so I thought it might be a good idea for a thread.
Probably of little interest here, Australian banks are closing 300 branches because of lack of use, people now manly now doing online banking.
Like me they never go in a branch.

"The ANZ has closed or earmarked the closure of the most branches, 131, followed by Westpac, 53, the NAB, 45, and the Commonwealth Bank, 32."

A sign of the times I suppose is the same thing happening in the UK ?

In other news down under our biggest Telco has made all public phones free to use.
There aren't many these days but you can usually find one.
This would have been unthinkable a few years ago lol.

We had three banks in Littleborough - now we have none. Mrs Ewing and I rode to Toddy or Shaw to present the credit card bill for payment as it was a nicer ride than the one into Rochdale. Then the bastards closed the Shaw 'n Toddy branches.

I’m sitting in the yard drinking beer. I thought I’d take a photo cos that’s really interesting. It looks like someone drew a dick on my boat

That's a nice pic, IdahoB, but we all know 'the yard' is the exercise yard at Idaho State Pen.

Too many to mention.

Vulcan pilots were issued with an eye patch to wear if dropping a live nuke in case they saw the flash and it blinded them, they could then take the patch off and fly using their one remaining sighted eye.

Tornado strike units in the 1980s had 12 jets, each able to carry two tactical nukes. But only 18 nukes were issued to each unit because the top brass reckoned one third of our jets and crews would be lost on the first day of conflict with the Warsaw Pact before it even escalated to nuclear.

I earlier reported (in the media thread) that Norways women's beach handball team have refused to wear bikini bottoms in a competition. They said they would were shorts.
I have a feeling it was pulled but it is a serious subject especially now they have been fined €1,500 for not adhering to the dress code which specifically states bikini bottoms.

(Last time I said pictures would be helpful and that may be the reason it was pulled so no pictures please. )
