Ace Debs, it just goes to prove what I have always suspected about those banana benders!

I hope it is a little cooler for you this avro; in fact it was only you mentioning that you have, ‘opened up front and back, so you have delicious breezes crossing your apartment.’ That reminded me it was ‘No pants’ day and I’m interested in real estate.

I would also like to point out that almonds are members of the peach family and nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously. Furthermore, if you think I'm nuts, I think you will find that all the clocks in the movie Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20. – Just saying; not implying.

Toodles - à tout à l'heure.

msolga, I am a "newby" too, and I don't know a rats azz about you other than you be a lovely person, I am therefore wondering how another "newby" thinks he/she knows you so well and jumps on your thread and gives me a headache, trying to read a million "quotes" un-quoted? And, disects you and tells you who you are? How is that?

A newbie with 3244 posts ? Stretching the truth a bit are we ?
I jumped on msolga's thread and gave her a headache ?
My goodness, I didn't know we need permission to disagree with someone on here.
A milion quotes ? Surely you jest. Stretching the truth again are we ?
msolga is a lovely person ?
Well I have to agree with you there from what I have read. I think she is a very caring person and probably a lovely lady,
but that does not stop me disagreeing with her.
If you make comments on here, don't expect everyone to agree with you.

And quite funny when she wants to be, highly intelligent too...

There are Forums and there are Forums... I think you will find this one to be just a tad different, once you get really going... Then I'd be suprised if you actually ever left...

@msolga,
What a great photo msolga, the lady in the middle truly looks like the cat that got the cream Smile Thanks for sharing... It's great when these "famous" people take off that hat and show their human side for no other reason than they can help and so do.

I read an article in the paper today and thought of you lot.

Quote:
Elephants and rhinoceros should be introduced to the Australian outback to control the impact of damaging wild grasses, according to an Australian professor of environmental change biology. But other Australian academics warned the proposal risked its own set of problems.

So what do you think?

It's very likely!

Answer to all other questions (and life generally!) = stuffed if I know! Mostly I don't even know the question - let alone the answer!

People from many places call them white ants. It's because they look like white ants until you look closely.


Agree - I heard the called white ants way before I moved here. They got that name the same way magpies are called magpies - not because they are magpies but because they reminded early settlers of magpies.

The trouble with early Australian colonisers was the shortage of zoologists and taxonomists.

@dlowan,
plus it's more poetic to 'white ant' someone or something than to 'termite' it.

G’day Sheila’s and mates, I was wondering if as the thread title boldly asserts you could answer any of the following; then all will be apples…


Actually the thread title says 'All you need to know' not 'All you want to know'

@izzythepush,
It's because of a feral grass that is spreading like wildfire and I guess they eat it.....hadn't heard about rhinos.

Given the horror unleashed by every other damn introduced species.....like rabbits, foxes, buffalo, camels, goats, pigs, donkeys, camels, cats, dogs and the cane toad...I'd be highly skeptical.

I heard him interviewed yesterday and I'm wondering if he isn't just trying to get the grass situation taken seriously. He says there's no coherent and serious effort to manage it.

@dlowan,
pandas love grasses with high silica content (like bamboo).
Vicious snarling pandas all over Australia.

They need to establish a few python colonies, too, to take care of the imported rabbit problem.

Like we don't have snakes everywhere anyway? And more than half the top ten most poisonous?

Doesn't seem to bother the rabbits at all...

We already have pythons.

This rabbit is quite fond of them. Especially the one called Monty.
