    Lettuce isn’t really a food. It’s a network of fibre held together by water and green colouring.

    Lettuce does contain Lactucarium which is an opium like substance.

    I have never noticed this. How much lettuce do you have to eat to experience it?

    Depends on the lettuce.
    Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) contains the most.

    Hmm. I’ll remember this. I don’t know if we have wild lettuce in Aust.

    must be a European species. Sounds like something which would be poisonous.
    Purple spots?
    “Wild lettuce has bright green leaves, which sprout from a green stem that’s occasionally spotted purple.”

    If you can eat KFC a little cabbage shouldn't be a problem.

    I think the world will be better off without Neighbours.
    There has been a series called Muster Dogs on the ABC. You could watch that instead.

    I don't actually watch Neighbours, it's just comforting to know it's still there.

    Muster Dogs looks good.
    Raedwald is becoming quite a prolific farm cat.
    Farmer Paul has started shutting him in the new, supposedly rodent proof, barn to catch the mice that aren't aware that it's rodent proof.

    Could the Albanese government have the intestinal fortitude, and the money, to nationalise our power generation?

    “Power generators are exploiting the chaotic energy market by withdrawing power supply from the electricity grid and waiting until strict rules to prevent blackouts kick in, forcing the energy market operator to direct them to fire their plants back up and triggering profitable compensation payments.”
    From the Melbourne Age, today.
    (We have been told that blackouts are possible because the government has capped electricity prices.)
    we are pouring money into foreign companies which own our power generation. We need to have power security which isn’t dependent on profit for foreign companies.
    It was a bad day when “They” sold off our power generation systems.

    I have been reading your thread! My interest in Genealogy led me to a bunch of Whipple's that moved there from Palmer Massachusetts and the little store across the street is owned by an Aussie! I like many had thought I would resettle there but thats life

    Of course not. This is all part of the globalist plan.

    We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t see him as a globalist but I may be wrong.

    The only changes happening at Govt level now, are the tokens the overlords allow to keep the proles on side. It's years to late to expect individual Govts to make a difference.

    PS: All Anglosphere Govts are run by the global corporates. Doesn't matter who's in charge, if they're not absolute separatist wild cards (wilder than Trump and Bernie combined), they're on the payroll.
