I thought you said Campbell Newman for a minute, and can someone remind me - what happened to Campbell newman? Like how did he react when he went down? Was it funny?

I always thought of him as a proto-Abbott, coming in on a landslide just because everyone hated the previous government, and then rapidly becoming unpopular as he forced his ideological agenda through and everyone realised what a mistake they made. Except lol, at least Newman made a full loving term.

And yet, compared to Abbott he comes across as retrospective and full of insight into his own failings (very very little, but compared to Abbott, heaps).

Funny thing about Tony. Usually when people pass that way, the general timbre of discussion about them starts being more positive, people like to highlight the good things, don't speak ill of the dead, etc. But with Tones, as time passes he firms in the mind as a real, actual piece of poo poo. There are not enough gently caress yous in the world.

If councils and state governments instead invested more on bike paths, the need for cyclists to hold third party insurance is greatly diminished.

Well that got me reading an interesting Wiki page on language in the Bible. Funny, just today (well, yesterday now) I shelved a two-tonne book on lexicography of the Old Testament and I thought at the time, "Who'd want to read this poo poo?"

Probably not, most topical gels like that don't enter circulation and don't need to be metabolised in the liver, they get taken up by whatever cells they're applied to and, when taken up by free nerve endings in the mouth, depolarize the cell causing it to be unable to be stimulated and transmit signals. I don't know why you'd need more except to say there's probably some anatomical variation; you might have more nerve endings or the endings present have a lower threshold for depolarizing.

4-5 times is a lot, though; unless your dentist is using a different drug than a sodium channel blocker, they can get pretty dangerous if you absorb enough through a surface area that it enters your circulation including arrhythmias

Ok, interesting. Thanks for that!

I don't know what the dentist uses other than it's blue. But yeah, once he tried with just three times the normal amount, and as soon as the drill touched my tooth I literally punched his hand out of my mouth out of instinct because it just wasn't anesthetized at all. I guess I better just have less cavities in the future.

I missed all this in the last thread. How do we know this is a thing rather than a juicy rumour?

Also, I doubt if real the Gvt would share all the details with the Opposition. So maybe try Zed instead.

let's invade New Zealand, they have oil

Let them do it, but itemise it like the WA rego. (Where the processing fees are a separate line item). It'll last less than a year because it'll cost so much more to collect than it needs to raise.

I bet that people falling down stairs at public parks is a bigger problem than cyclist v pedestrian accidents

In regards to pedestrians where no other vehicle was involved, for the years 2001 to 2006, a total of 57 fatalities were identified. The state by state numbers are as follows: NSW=23, WA=8, Victoria=19, SA=3, ACT=1, TAS=3.

ABC is reporting that the police shooting was by a radicalised middle eastern youth. Tony must be cursing the gods for not making it happen a few weeks ago. It's a good job we're bombing in Syria because that's going to solve the problem for sure!
