Australia seems like a law unto itself. One of my oldest and best mates lives in the north. He was home recently and was showing off pictures of all the snakes he's had to evict from his fusebox. Was also saying how one of his neighbours was driving down the road with some fuck off snake held out the window in one hand in order to distance it from his home. Righto, then.

Same fella sent me a magazine when he was first in Geelong doing his PhD - Bacon Busters. Not sure if it's a local or national publication, but I'll never forget the "Babes'n'Boars" section where a hottie sends a picture of herself with her latest hoggy slay.

Bless you, Australia.

There's not just one pig Hunter magazine either, most rural people in northern NSW and Qld would have a hand at it. Myself and the wife's cousin one time went hunting on trail bikes with .375 S&W and a m44 carbine in 7.62 x 54R.  Gun the bike to catch up to the pigs near the water hole then start firing while still driving or dismount and shoulder the rifle.
I worked with a fella who came to work on the Monday on crutches, he'd been pig hunting [whilst on Speed] in sugar cane fields at night time with pig dogs and a huntingknife. The dogs are trained to hold the pigs by the ears and yer man runs in with the knife.  Anyway one of them ran in to his leg while been chased and smashed his knee, he was crutches for ages - not easy to work as a welder on 1 leg. Should add he was a pentecostal fundamentalist as well!

Danzig - 5 blackacidevil on CD, god almighty was he listening to Therapy? or what.

I bought the CD of this year's ago, only listened a few times, couldn't get in to it.  Must get it out again for another go.
Alpha & Omega is my favourite from Penance

Jesus Katie Taylor's walkout music has to be some of the worst I've ever heard.

This might be of interest to some here.
You can set up an account for free and sync your Discogs account with it.
I'm not sure if you'll be able to see my collection or not, but here is a link.

Seems to be the same as Discogs, apart from the buying and selling

Yamaha Amp & CD player, "budget entry level" but the most ive ever spent as i've always bought 2nd hand gear for the most part,

RCA Cable question:

On my new setup I need a roughly 4 metre rca length between turntable and speakers. Am I likely to notice any drop in audio quality over that length? I wouldn't have thought so but have never done a run that long before 🤔

It'd only be something to consider over 10metres.  I'd say 4metres would be standard enough.  I suppose the wires are a few mm thick,  not those 1mm thin wires? 

Various – Bullshit Detector Two, Crass Records 1982 LP compilation

Bags of spinach (and other leaves). There's only one other person in the house and they don't eat spinach, so I usually end up chucking some out every week because as much as I eat the stuff, the bags are usually too big for one person to get through before the use-by date.

That's a fair one actually I always end up throwing out half the bag as well. I know I could freeze it but that would involve conscious thought and it only comes to me when the bag is gone half liquid in the fridge

If you have a blender you can make a smoothie out of it with whatever other fruit you have in the fridge, milk, bananas few strawberries....comes out lovely
