I am used to hearing the da Vinci/Leonardo misunderstanding, so that is why I knew what you meant. Indeed, I would have understood if you had said Leonardo. That is what it should be and that is the...

PS Leonardo (you should not say da Vinci, because it is just where he was from, not his surname. It is like saying Wilf of Oz and calling me "Of Oz" - does not pinpoint me, you see) was indeed one of...

You would like to describe why Edison was a genius?

When you see the sort of poms on their way here, Florida, it is not surprising they have to try so hard is it? If you are riding a pushbike in life, you have to peddle very fast do you not to keep up...

Re: Lifestyle and culture.

I have been here 40 years. I was last in the UK 5 years ago.

I would say the worst points are the poor career prospects for white collar foreign workers (including poms); the lack of world class...

I am bloody glad to hear it old son. I am not for all tastes (maybe very few) but I like variety and do not believe in bans but I see many do so that is a good thing for them to have at hand if they...

Right, last time pal and I will be very nice to you.

I care not a jot if you do not like my posts. If you want to read them, read them, if not, don't. Put me on your ignore list but in any case,...

I do wish you would stop making snide comments about me old son (and at least have the decency to admit it). All you know is what I write here but nothing about me in my real life. I have said you...

You are not the sort of person I am talking about Badger. You HAVE lived here and so I would consider your opinions worth much to this new bloke and to all others here. I am talking about people who...

This bloke is a perfect example. He lives in Hampton Court which is in SW Greater London, not Oz. Quite how he knows about living in Oz I do not know.
