Oops. The Tasmanian school system didn't like "-yed" and preferred "-ied".
This and other eccentricities have enriched my spelling for mnay years, despite my best efforts.

Plus, someone has been stealing the ground conductor between poles for at least a year. It might have been the same moron, and he got careless, this time.

Well, while we're at it, Bush 43 isn't George Jr. either. Bush 41 is George H W Bush. Shrub is just George W Bush.
The most deadly hurricane in US history hit Galveston in 1900. And the hottest summer on record in the US was 1936.

True. But it does seem that the US system has passed it "sell by date" with its terminally damaged consitution and maybe the EU can learn from the failure of the USsystem ( unlikely)...

But the USA is doing fine. Europe and Japan are facing economic and demographic time bombs.

I just heard your property bubble is about to burst.
You have to be joking !
What economic time bomb ? It's the USA that's running a huge budget deficit and whose currency's value is gradually eroding.
