Seller is female, image is generic.
the seller is certainly getting lot's of publicity here today
That seller had something I was interested in, but also sells lots of APCGS slabs which put me off a bit.
I've often wondered what would have become of this continent had someone other than Cook discovered it or had it remained undiscovered?
Cook didn't discover it. Too many claimants to list here.
We could have been speaking French if Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse (La Perouse for short) had been a little quicker.

Some of us might have. We could have ended up half French and half English like Canada. England were the pre-eminent naval power at the time and Australia being so big there would have been little the French could have done to stop them landing here too. Which they would have undoubtedly done if they had perceived it to be worthwhile.
Could have been speaking Dutch too if they had been a little more patient.
