I think you might be able to get away with it, if you are using it to quote and not for profit.

It invites you to log in to or join the Australian's facebook a/c, so it is as good as advertising for them so they are doing alright.

I made mention of something that the climate alarmists never offer an answer to and it relates to hypocrisy. All that merchandise (and there is some going around) is made in China using plastics and the energy would be coming from coal-fired power stations, of which China has several hundred of.
Of course, the Green-Left does not comment, just as long as the word gets out that burning coal is bad.

Yes merry Christmas all,
My Christmas will be spent in the truck moving to Albury which will take me about 2 weeks to get all my junk to the new house,
I did 2 trips in the last couple of days and there was smoke all the way ,600klm of smoke.
The highway way closed for a couple of days which slowed the move down , last night I drove through the night and got back into Sydney at 5am , slowest trip of my life !
Pete

I'm guessing that one of those weeks will be to move your LP collection.

Actually G, I'm a bit worried about moving them because I'm concerned of the heat in the back of the truck may warp them . Perhaps I may do a night run. I hired one of those moving trucks from Avis, I have a truck licence.

That's a quick move: It took a month to shift from one part of the farm to the other. Tractors are great for shifting filing & stationary cabinets etc. Bale forks also shift pallets.

Short distance moves are like that. Back in the 1980s I moved from one side of a house to the other. It was divided into two flats and when the larger one became available I grabbed it. That was the slowest and most disorganised move I have ever done. With a normal move, you have to have everything packed for the removal van and out it goes in one or maybe two trips on the scheduled day. With that move I had paid the rent on both places for a month and that's how long it took me to drag everything from one side to the other.
Pete: a night run may be a good idea. Not much traffic either. Maybe some 'roos at dusk and dawn, though.

Moves frighten the hell out of me to be truthful. Because mostly they are life changing events. When I was a boy we were always moving house so with those experiences I know it usually means that everything changes from the people you spend time with to the way you spend your time,but I see this move as opportunity to get out of Sydney and live in a old house again.it offers things I can't get in Sydney, old 50s house with a huge yard lots of storage in a part of the country where there is access to old things and the things I like to be involved in which are basic down to earth wants.
Here in the northern beaches where I have been living bores me to death, The things I'm interested in are just not here and boy it's a costly place to live.
Living on the border Vic /NSW is very appealing to me .
Peter

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!
New Year resolution anyone? Collectively, fight red tape - it is created continually, threatening to strangle us all.

Bureaucracy never dies, even the Roman Empire continues to have influence. The major difference here is that if our Bureaucracy can find anything that has failed anywhere in the world, is decades behind and has every chance of failing: Its a must have.
I don't like your chances when we have the wisdom of fools & its getting worse.
Merry Christmas & Happy New year. Washed the Tractor after overhaul so normally that invites rain.

Bureaucracy never dies
Bureaucracy thrives on committees. Having worked for many years in an environment that involved being under or on various committees, I have developed a strong allergy to them, and no longer consider putting my hand up to join any.*
My favourite quotation regarding them is: "Committees, apart from producing camels, are bodies of people who, as individuals, could do nothing but collectively can decide to do nothing."
(* the exception being the Owners Corp Committee at my workshop's complex, which boils down to two of us.)
