    The song by Stingray I like best is Better the Devil you know...but I do remember the adventures of Stingray as a kid as well. Funny that this comes up after I watched 30 000 Leagues under the Sea starring Lorenzo Lamas just last night. ๐Ÿ˜ Whos watching?

    Trump better take care of his eye sight. He might not be able to wear glasses๐Ÿ˜Ž. He might say stuff like "I cannot see Kamala doing a better job of falling down a flight of steps than Biden did."

    So according to this genius the wheel of a car is not the wheel that steers it. Its the wheel that alters the direction the wheel travels in but it is not a helm as its not on a boat. So when asking it to spel orange it would retort with "the fruit or the colour"?

    Clearly the questions are not keeping up with current trends. Durban is currently 187 hours behind schedule and ships are lying on anchor outside waiting their turn. Clearly the right answer in in 2024 is Lagos.

    Interestingly its also called a screw conveyor and a auger. We used it extensively in the fish meal production processes to pump raw fish from the boat to the cookers. In Woliie's photos you will also see a dewatering reel. Water and solids are separated by pumping it through a screw which has a sieve on the outer tube.

    When it happened is more important than where it happened. Besides if it happened, there is bound to be a post or sign to that effect. This allows people from both sides of the pond to discuss why it happened.

    Getting confused about the green light? Heres a way to remember it. You GO to the Stars. So green is GO and the Starboard is where all the stars are pinned.
