  Comedy of errors on the Coast

Clearly they had no idea of geography there...

It could have been far worse, very lucky that Dr at the hospital was able to help.

  More Trademe weirdness
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 17-01-2025, 08:22 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (3)

I have used TM for over twenty years. A lot. In all that time I have experienced maybe a couple of auction withdrawals after bidding on something.

So far this week I have had three. Bargains for sure, but I only bid on bargains, three in a row though is weird.

  Possible Trump deportations of migrants
Posted by: Lilith7 - 16-01-2025, 02:34 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (18)

David Cruesno is American born but says his mother crossed into the USA illegally from Mexico but has been working & paying taxes in America for thirty years. The idiot Trump has said that he may do away with a  ruling which made churches off limits for ICE arrests.

Did anyone really believe he's a genuine christian.... Dodgy Rolleyes

  "Jezebel spirit' to be removed from Texas to 'protect lawmakers'
Posted by: Lilith7 - 16-01-2025, 01:48 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

Just in from the 'Loony tunes r us' department...


Oh dear - just when you thought it couldn't get worse, Texas evangelicals have decided to remove what they call the 'jezebel spirit' from a hearing room.  Big Grin Big Grin

The thing is though, that if these idiots continue down that particular road then things could get extremely nasty. Dodgy

  Finally, a ceasefire in Gaza
Posted by: Lilith7 - 16-01-2025, 10:31 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (4)

A pity it didn't happen a great deal sooner. Dozens of hostages held by Hamas will be released in phases, as will Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. There will be a six week halt to fighting to allow negotiations on ending the war to take place.
