Happy Father’s Day to all dads on the three Cats.
As one might expect, although often undervalued, fatherhood is not unimportant.
That’s why there are so many aphorisms, funnies and memes about it.
Long may that be so.

“Don’t go sullying a real world, fact based, applied science type profession with economics. ?”
Exactly. Physics goes to a lot of trouble to maintain invariant “measuring sticks”, the Voodoo practitioners, charlatans and spivs in the economics profession can’t even do that.
The Liberal Party once called John Howard “the father of the nation.”
Happily it was all downhill for him after that.

You once tried to pass yourself off as an engineer. You’re later comments suggests otherwise. You were never an engineer , but a goofball with a science degree specializing in clouds. Whooppeee.
You dumbfuck, as you say, stay in your lane and stop talking shit all the time, laced with that thin veneer of superiority that only people with something to hide tend to display.
Here’s a fucking lesson for you dickface. 80% of economics is micro-economics, which is really hard and essentially a science. Micro helps putting together cost/benefit analysis, which helps humanity figure out such important things like … oh trade offs- something you don’t understand and frankly too fucking dumb to even appreciate the basics. 15% of economics is macro, which the most problematic and what is almost always discussed here.
STFU, you yapping Chihuahua and get back in your kennel. You’re just as irritating as those other wankers I usually have in my sites. To top it off, you’re fucking weak. Anyone who joins a posse is weak minded piece of shit.
Don’t you dare talk about economics again or you’ll receive a serious clip over the ears.
is it ?
damn nobody told me
… I’m gonna ask for credit card back
And Eyrie, Happy Father’s Day. I only hope they copped more genes from the other side of the pool that yours, you fuckhead.

I’ve got no problem with micro economics, JC. Just with what is jokingly called “macro economics” and is claimed to be some sort of “science”.
Yeah I used to work in meteorology/atmospheric/environmental science after doing my physics degree with lots of engineering subjects thrown in but that was a long time ago. For over 40 years I’ve been self employed in an engineering field. Done OK.

Cat members can say what Jacinda can’t….
The Islamic State-inspired radical responsible for a supermarket knife rampage in New Zealand has been identified — but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said she will never say his name.
The “lone wolf” attacker was Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, a Sri Lankan national, 32, who came to New Zealand in October 2011 and was granted refugee status two years later.
According to the NZ media, immigration officials tried to revoke his refugee status in 2018, but he appealed and a final decision on whether he could be deported was still pending.
All you can do is use the almighty dollar. Then even still interpersonal preference comparisons can be meaningless.

And why did he need to sneer about socks and jocks which are about on par for dullness as a steak and chips dinner?
And with most shops closed about the only father’s day gift people could buy at a supermarket.
So a decision was pending for three years, during which time he had a police surveillance team and a response team watching him around the clock.

Keep in mind that JC thinks the virus is really, really bad and China intentionally made it so.

And Kelly, a great advocate for TREATMENT of the chunk virus with Ivermectin, again, obliquely:
‘Talking Melbourne’ but not Ivermectin
Roger Franklin Editor, Quadrant Online 3rd September 2021
One of the great curses is to be born with a sunny and optimistic disposition, to which I plead guilty. Hope springs eternal in those such as I, forever finding comfort in the belief that the stupid can be brought unto the light of reason by polite, measured and respectful conversation. That this approach seldom works is where the disappointment kicks in. One might, for example, point out that the universal adoption of electric cars, a high item on every green wish list, will require a vast increase in reliable, dispatchable generation, and where will all that additional electricity come from? Alas, the response is apt to be a rote recitation of something like ‘wind and sun are free’. Optimism surrenders to disappointment at such moments and the world’s collective intelligence remains one more brain in deficit.
Still, us optimists keep trying, which was the case once again on Thursday (September 2), when a Sydney doctor, Naren Gunja, made a brief afternoon appearance on Melbourne talk station 3AW to warn against ivermectin as a COVID-19 prophylactic and treatment. Dr Gunja had been talking up a storm that day, also railing against the cheap, off-patent drug at news.com.au, where he shared the story of a self-medicator who made himself very sick indeed and ended up in hospital.
“There’s no evidence to support the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19,” Professor Gunja told Western Sydney Health’s news website, The Pulse, another of his busy day’s media stops. “Don’t look for magic cures online, and don’t rely on what’s being peddled on the internet, because none of them work.”
Well this was an intriguing assertion, one in direct opposition to the essays and open letters I have been publishing in my capacity as Quadrant Online’s editor from the likes of Dr Phillip Altman and Professor Robert Clancy. They and others are very definitely of the opinion that ivermectin, properly prescribed, is very useful in combatting the ravages and spread of the Wuhan flu. As with everything I produce and process for this site I had taken an independent look at the evidence. One doesn’t go to press with an argument that runs counter to the weight of orthodoxy and official pronouncement without testing its credibility and assembling links that will help the reader arrive at his or her considered opinion.
So I called 3AW, whose slogan is ‘Talking Melbourne’, in hope of having a word with Dr Gunja, explaining to the chap who vets incoming calls that I would like the good doctor to explain why the chart of India’s infection rate plummeted down a Himalayan gradient within days of state governments’ approving ivermectin’s widespread distribution. Perhaps there was something else at work, an unnamed factor responsible for the sudden decline? Perhaps the chart (reproduced above) is just plain wrong? Perhaps the anecdotal accounts of ivermectin’s success that have been appearing in the Indian press were just that, a cocktail of urban myths, confirmation bias and the placebo effect. Accounts like this, for example
The entire saga started on April 11 when my wife and daughter reported throat pain and fever … by evening, I was running 102.5 fever and my doctor started the entire family on Doxy + Ivermectin + vitamins + blood thinners, assuming all of us were infected …
… My family members thankfully recovered in just 3 days
I was also keen to hear Dr Gunja’s thoughts on the current situation in Israel, where some 80 per cent of the population was vaccinated early on and infection rates dropped. Infections have since soared, however, leading authorities to rule that two vaccinations are not enough and only after a third booster can a person be considered adequately protected. As Dr Gunja was urging vaccinations as the only path to post-COVID normality, what would he recommend should Australia see the same dip-and-rise as Israel?
Alas it was not to be. Dr Gunja had departed by that stage and I managed to utter no more than a few words of my India question to the show’s hostess, Dee Dee Dunleavy, before I was cut off. Listeners would not have known as much as Ms Dunleavy proceeded to win an argument with a dead phone line. I would refer readers to the podcast of her show, but the audio has been bowdlerised (and not very well) leaving only a few truncated words from me and very little of Ms Dunleavy’s incoherent parroting of half-absorbed talking points. Amusingly, her acquaintance with the facts was such that ivermectin in her rendering became “invermectin”.
Later in her three hour show, Ms Dunleavy enjoyed the company of former Herald Sun gossip columnist Luke Dennehy, who insisted that antilockdown protesters deserve whatever violence and plastic bullets Victoria Police care to dish out, and also that they wave Nazi flags! Unlike my call, Dennehy’s imagined sighting of blitzkreigers on Bourke Street remains part of the audio record.
Why do I bother passing on any of this? Simple, really. As as a born optimist it is painful to think those likewise afflicted might call 3AW in hope of honest, rational, open conversation and find only censorship. There’s always the ABC to fill the void and, bad and biased as is the national broadcaster, you might find it preferable to a radio station that bills itself as the station where “you can talk and share what matters most” while permitting only one-sided conversations.
Full disclosure: Well before Nine took charge of 3AW, I made irregular appearances as the fill-in for John-Michael Howson in Sunday morning’s biff session with leftist Nick McCallum. Last weekend, 3AW having gone woke, McCallum was paired with Melbourne’s deputy mayor Nicholas Reece, familiar to Sky viewers as the go-to guy for every left talking point.
The article has a great graph showing the effect of the Ivermectin intervention in India:

My first foray on the NewCat for some little while and I see this — the words are beautifully put together but at risk of being called a misogynist I render my description of Anasthesia Pile-o-Shite as:

No matter. To outdoor pursuits I go.
Keep in mind that JC thinks the virus is really, really bad and China intentionally made it so.
That’s a cheap shot dot; good rhyming eh. But this is a serious point; never forget those chunk bastards did this; and had destroyed the evidence after unleashing the fucker on the world. How about this Dot for a scenario the West had to deal with: the damn virus was as infectious as it is and had a virulence equal to SARS or MERS. Shit hit fan big time. The West was in the dark about this, apart from that little traitor fauci and his crew, so I give a bit of latitude to the West whose pollies have been headless chickens even more then usual. Now they’ve got a taste of power and the ones owned by the chunks are keeping the foot down. Although as I say this virus may yet surprise.

As above. You’re carting before the horse. This is the chunk’s baby and the effect it has had on the West, starting with removing the only leader who could stand up to them, has been as good for them as if they had planned it.

Which is but one facet of the loss of self-belief in Western countries.
If it is the case, it’s a good illustration of Popper’s ‘paradox of tolerance’.
A tolerant society should assert its right to reject the intolerant when the intolerant are not amenable to rational argument. If it fails to do so, it will not preserve itself as an open and tolerant society.
Anyone who subscribes to the doctrines and methods of IS is clearly not amenable to rational argument, has forfeited the right to the protection of the law and should not be granted refugee status in an open and tolerant society like NZ.

The LDP haven’t said much, they haven’t asked for plans and suggestions as to how they can lift their game and membership for the next election, they really don’t like to stir the pot. Well the pot needs emptying and it needs high energy committed people to do it so Craig Kelly looks the goods at the moment, as soon as they acknowledge my resignation I’ll join Kellys mob.

Okay…so let’s think for a moment if Kelly retains Hughes…which I very much doubt…..and the new Palmer party gets several people over the line in the senate. Do you not think for a moment that Clive baby won’t insist on his pound of flesh. I don’t like the man…..he behaved shockingly when he spent three years in Canberra…he deliberately made life awful for Tony Abbott….he belittled Abbott and the Liberals. I haven’t forgotten how he allowed himself to be fawned over by their ABC….all because he was making life difficult for Abbott. I haven’t forgotten his juvenile stunts. And you know what? I haven’t forgiven him for any of this . Having said that, I understand why Kelly has chosen to align himself with Palmer…Palmer’s got the dosh…and he’s got a lot of dosh but he’ll expect payback..mark my word.
I also think that the Liberals and particularly Scummo have brought all of this on themselves. They’re causing the split in the right of centre vote and they’ll be punished accordingly. Scummo’s mistakes are legion…all he’s done is fellate the left. I don’t blame Kelly for being angry at Scummo……I’ll stick with the Lib Dems because at least they’re stable….I don’t regard Clive Palmer as stable.
I would also add that the LDP isn’t beholden to one individual.
Great to see you up and running at full steam ahead, Tinta.

Yep.
Russell and Riccardo seem to be decent guys but their political naivety and rugged individualism irritates me. Small parties kill each other because, generally, they take conservative votes in the first instance but some of which through preferential intricacies goes back to them but some are lost which benefits the liars and filth. If they are serious they’ll join either PHON or SFF. The LDP do seem low energy and I think their early success was as much due to ballot position and similarity of name to the libs.
Australian voters are very conservative. They may distrust the major parties but will not go willingly to anything new. It’s about time PHON was tested on the big stage with greater numbers and more discipline which flows from maybe in a greater power position. I wish Kelly well and its a pity Christensen and Flint won’t come with him.
I’ll help you hand out how-to-votes for them, Cassie. I won’t join anything any more. Ended that with the Aust Cons fiasco. The LDP actually stand for a political philosophy and are not just a reaction to an immediate problem. That’s got to count for something more than the rest of the centre-right splitters.
Cassie, couldn’t care less about Abbott, he imprisoned a political opponent, shat on his core (18c) and promoted enemies, he’s a goose. I get what you say but at this stage I’d rather have a crooks who just want to enrich themselves rather than incompetent do gooders and incompetents ruining our nation because they think they’re saving us. Who was it said something along the lines of those who want to do you good can never be sated but eventually a crook gets enough wealth.
Which is why the Lib Dems are in with half a chance of at least a Senate seat or two. They are a known quantity with good name – which is why the LNP are trying to take it off them right now.
Provided they play their cards right at the simple levels where the Aust Cons failed – getting out a good how-to-vote plus booth workers and also plenty of airtime about December 4 Freedom Day and other policies. Go for the Senate and don’t expect too much, is my advice.
Of course you don’t (NOW),seeing you were tripped up as a result my last comment directed at what you said.

Spot on Lizzie. And I fully understand after your experience with Oz Cons. I like the LDP philosophy…it suits me. I’m now steeling myself for an Albosleazy gubbermint but I want the senate to be controlled by the LDP and PHON and yes….some of Palmer’s lot.

We saw with David L. for the LDP and as we are still seeing with Mark Latham in NSW for PHON, if you can get a maverick Senator up they can create a lot of noise and garner quite a bit of media attention. Changing Australia is going to be a long game, not a quick one, so positioning right now for Senate obstruction and redirection is where we should start. A whole new idea can’t take the House of Reps unless it gets very lucky and times get very bad, but it it can take a House of Review to start to bring back sense. It is not a question of the old Don Chipp’s Democrats’ days of ‘keeping the bastards honest’ but of ‘keeping Australia safe from commos’, more like the days of the old Cultural Freedom mob and Santamaria and Knopfellmacher (whom I remember at Sydney Uni back in the day). Long live Quadrant too, founded by thinkers like these. Gramsci’s had his day and has to go – that’s our line and our start.
With regard to the next Federal Election, provided candidates for Palmer’s lot, LDP and PHON stand in my electorate – then that should be my ticket in HoR and Senate with gaps filled in according to some decent candidate research. If none of the above are present on HoR ballot, then some artistic work will prevail!
I just noticed that on my phone they are running the message, “LetsVaxx”.
Once you get past the misleading grammar (What is Vaxx being allowed to do, and who is is letting it?) you can see repeat of strategy.
When they were pushing SSM the government made a point of deploying the form of democracy – a plebiscite – but then prosecuted a campaign, had all the offices of the public service push, encouraged and funded progressive activists, allowed the public broadcaster to take a side, and provided no such support to the ‘No’ side.
After they pretended the people had spoken.
Now they cannot or dare not try to make vaccination mandatory, so they are doing everything they can short of legislation to make it mandatory.
And all because way back last year they herded into committing to zero cases and, informed by mediocre medical bureaucrats and their own very much third-rate talents, declared the vaccine the only way out.
Having made such a pigs’ breakfast out of it all they want us to chow down and thank them for the glorious feast.

Palmer is just a Turnbullite swine.
True.
Palmer didn’t once mention 18c or any other core issue.
It was in part a personal vendetta and it earned him spots on Q&A.
He basically burnt the political capital he had established on petty grievances and pushing the Fat Clive barrow at every opportunity.
No thanks.
Aussie Cossacks Flat searched for weapons. Added benefit he has a hot wife.

Turnbullite swine may be preferable to the utter Branch Covidian madness we’re seeing now.
Turnbullite Swine.
I wonder if anyone has registered that as a party name?
I have a candidate mascot for Craig’s UAP: a currawong who arrived with a yellow head. Looked like he’d dunked himself into a jar of turmeric. Photo doesn’t do justice, but gives an idea of the colour. No idea what flower he’d been sticking his beak into to become so heavily covered with pollen, but it was fun. He let met go inside, fetch camera and then take some bad photos before graciously accepting a lump of mince.
Cassie my 2c worth on Palmer on back blocks pub Cat, the guy has grudges against the LNP still:
“My 2c worth, if fat bastard pulls this off for Kelly I’ll be happy. Also kudos to his legal challenge to both WA and the border closures.
He however as rightfully described above is a spoiler especially with the conservative vote, bunch of Queensland seats and a City Council where the ALP benefited from his meddling all because of his hissy fit at Newman not allowing him to dump his tailings into Halifax Bay. Funny because it is the worst kept secret in NQ he is now making a killing off mining said tailings full of cobalt.”

Dot, there’s a lot here to untangle.
I do think the virus is problematic and I think it’s came out of a bio-weapons program in a Wuhan Lab.
Oh I get it now, you think I subscribe to the Economist. I don’t, Dot. Every Saturday, I receive an email alerting me to some of the articles they’re running. This week, I thought the oneon wokeism is truly excellent and the extra death estimates globally is an interesting piece.
How so, explain the reg8ulatory fiat problem in the west?
What I blame China for is fucking around with bio-weapons, not being careful, consequently causing the virus to accidentally be released. They then lying theid arses off and stalled bigtime in telling the world the problem.
yep – they slapped him with a Firearms Prevention Order.
Let’s them do pretty much anything at any time without warning.
I must say he’s a remarkably composed bloke given the shit the police fling at him.
What I love about the Cossack is that he’s monetising the police idiocy. They’re providing great content while he strings the bastards along.

He does it with humour, even the cops couldn’t help themselves at times.

I have to say that the Chinese military recruitment ad that I posted a while ago is one of the best ads I’ve seen in while.
Compare our horror ads that want to persuade sheilas to join for the benefits … like if they’re having a kid.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l_qr-4AKM18
“I ‘blame’ China for”, flushing out very many high powered Western traitors …waves at Hunter, Joe & the crew …
People keep ignoring the fact that Xi is hated by masses of corrupt Chinese, at all power levels.
Real bigots see all Chinese as brutal, organ harvesting on demand, demons.
Just like anti-American bigots see all Americans as sycophantic, “10% for The Big Guy”, Joe Biden backers.
This War is not like any war before.
‘Social Credit’ systems, worse than shitful.
Using it to trap & flush the most dangerous traitors against humanity, well, lets just say it isn’t as bad (yet, possibly never), as countless slow, bloody, starving tortures that all sides have used against The Enemy at some point … and if we can corner the most deadly, plague ridden rats before it comes to that …
Anyway, Communism, bloody evil bad.
Global Corporatism, bloody evil bad plus it gave us “trans-kids”, like a 3 yo trying to take scissors to their penis, and the Global Corporates cheering on the mother for continuing to twist that child’s mind & soul in that very dangerous direction.
BTW, I don’t blog to CONvince anyone of anything. I drop interesting pieces & leave people to do with them what they will.
If they engage with me in good faith, they get a good faith response from me.
If they only want to bitch & troll me, well, sometimes I’ll bitch slap them back (gotta give the crowd what they want, sometimes), or I just scroll on by, looking for other interesting pieces worth sharing around the internet.
P.S., I didn’t mean animal rats.
I meant the human rats who are a far greater danger to humanity than any diseased mammals.
Bruce, it’s nest-building time and Currawongs use their copious sticky saliva to hold their careful stick platform and woven interior baskets together. Our old nest, home of four fledglings a year ago, while disintegrated a lot since last year, has still stayed put on its branch fork in spite of actual hail rain, wind and sunshine. Our little mum whom we feed is now busy building another somewhere, and her beak rivals our new stone floors with a topcoat of shine, except hers is sticky as molasses. Poke that beak in anywhere soft and it would be covered in residue. I bet that is causing your bird’s amazing paint job.
The wattle is out now too, Bruce. Yellow pollen everywhere.

Thanks Gab, surprise surprise my answers were the same as the majority…
what trucks?
Only truck I saw inbound on The Hume Highway today was owned by Coles.
Lizzie this wasn’t mine it was from the exquisite description of the Albino Cane Toad by Mother Lode I had some kind of blockquote fail: my description is rather earthy, must be my farming roots.
Gab, I wonder how long they’ll let that poll stay up, there’s no way they will draw the correct conclusions from it.
Thanks Gab over 60% of Australians want this disaster to end.
China is looking to win.
I don’t know how effective their troops would be – I expect their martial philosophy and social philosophy would be not dissimilar as the latter provides people for the former.*
In WW2 the allies were in it to win. They did not shrink from weighty decisions that might have unpalatable collateral costs. Easier to wait for until an enemy lets more congenial circumstances come you way.
Would today’s leaders have the stomach to bomb Hiroshima or Nagasaki? Would they instead invade the main island if it meant pointing guns at schoolgirls armed with pointed sticks alongside the Imperial Army.
Would Afghanistan have taken as long and cost as much in dollars and lives (both sides) if the were ready bomb a valley which might have killed a goatherd’s family? Would they have still lost? Would they have damped down some other hotspots by making them feel less secure?
* I had a friend who was an officer in the army who told me that, like the British, the Australian defence forces trained everyone to obey superiors but also, down to the lowest ranks, to be ready at the moments notice to take command if necessary. She said this was also an attitude being taken up by the Americans. This is all second hand info.
I voted but refused to log in. They can go jump.
My spidey sense tells me what the majority might be. The only mystery is the margin. 😀
That’s what peeves the petty tyrants the most, hence the overkill.
Sunday morning? @rickw.
As a veteran of a few inbound search warrants, I must say the cops are remarkably polite, communicative, thoughtful and non-threatening, especially in body language.
It would seem being livestreamed is very beneficial for police demeanour.
As I suspected after surveying the mood at the Caloundra markets last Sunday, common sense and decency are not yet dead.
Except among our political class.

Not long, voting buttons are already greyed out on my device. Or it’s simply not working. Or they don’t like the direction it’s going. Pick one or all. Logging in to see if that changed matters did nothing.

Me three. I wonder if it’s a paid placement? Uncharacteristic for news.com.au to do anything like let people tell what they actually think. But it’d be a cheap alternative to hiring a pollster for a pollie wanting a story they can run with. Very Palmerish. Maybe they can do a climate change one too, although that might might risk wrath from the higher celestial planes of Newscorp.
France 2021. Someone get on the phone to Tom Elliot. Apparently everyone is doing this so it is just fine.
Precisely! There’s a reason they don’t run that one, or one on capital punishment, continued moosli migration, or “should burglars get lengthy jail terms”
They want the answer they’re getting.
The polling must be atrocious. (Craig Kelly, just by saying “No more lockdown” has in one week attracted thirty thousand people to [what was] a fringe political party)
Roger, he should be. It’s a disgusting ad in every possible way. Rather than communicate honor to serve etc, it’s basically telling sheilas to go and enlist for the benefits. The top brass are disgusting bunch of dickheads.
Good news; they’re making a Ray Donovan movie sequel to the series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIqQ6Cc6EOw
There’s no context to the video, but a dozen armed men assaulting a single unarmed woman is intolerable whatever the cause.
The first two seasons were decent, Cronkite. It then became a leftwing guilt trip carousel. Also, the move from California to back East was a little too far fetched from my liking. The entire family moved. Really? Lastly, the overweight stupid brother should have been rubbed out in the first episode he showed up. He was embarrassing. I was, we were all embarrassed for Ray having a retarded brother like that.
” BiRacial Broomhilda”
LOL…..Tinta, I just love your descriptions…they always hit the nail on the head!
Why aren’t we allowed to own these?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRgbo0wro0E
Cronkite…
The series became progressively gayer with each season after the first two. Frankly, I don’t know if I should be surprised you like ALL of it.
“James Lindsay
@ConceptualJames
Utterly shameful. Every last one of them should not only lose their jobs but rot in prison.”
I found that unbelievably upsetting. I’m lost for words. They’re Nazis, fascists, communists.
JC, they’re pretty bad and have been for a while, but the real problem is the Defence department.
Son reports that Dutton is highly regarded as Minister among the ranks based on his performance thus far. Dutton, notably, brought his own senior staff across with him rather than surround himself with Defence bigwigs. The only Defence person close to him is the fellow who advises him on military protocols.
The top brass are disgusting bunch of dickheads.
Who can easily get their arse kicked by illiterate goat shaggers.
“James Lindsay”
Love James Lindsay…..a former liberal (in the US sense) who is brave enough to openly admit he voted for Trump….he could see what the Demorats were going to do and he’s been completely vindicated.
This morning I followed that video from another site back to what I believe is a source.
It seems it is French Police in a shopping centre in Paris, chasing a girl who wasn’t able to show her vaccination papers while out shopping.
Sunday morning? @rickw.
Yep, over the course of a 3 hour drive.
Roger
This! This alone supports the idea that we’re a failed state and ought to be taken over. Look at this creature.
What’s it usually like of a Sunday morning?
I’ve always found the Melbourne-Brisbane route is chockers with trucks, except on Saturday afternoon to Sunday arvo.
A rare gem amongst the swine. It’s a pity Dutton innately has the charisma of a garden slug, otherwise he’d be a potential Lib save-the-furniture leader. But as we saw with Trump: when most of even your own party is against you it’s impossibly difficult to make any headway. Almost brings me to believe in Hari Seldon’s psychohistory.
Epitomises everything that’s wrong with the Defence culture.
An embarrasment to the soldiery, let me assure you.
Yes, if you follow the tweet Lindsay is quoting that is precisely the context.
Dutton, too, can have his dodgy moments, Bruce, but I’m prepared to forgive him whilst he is generally headed in the right direction.

A crank.
I was, we were all embarrassed for Ray having a retarded brother like that.
The Donovan family was an Irish Catholic family; FFS; every Irish Catholic family has at least one retard in it.
And:
The series became progressively gayer with each season after the first two
Crap; series 4 is arguably the best with the Russians and the boxer. There were no gay characters. I’m sensing a bit of projection here.
As Dover says, this is the claim made.
The prevalence of lies from all sides makes me doubt it; it might be something else altogether. But it’s still frightful fascist shit even if she was suspected of murder.
err, Rog – If one was so inclined to purchase a Gibbo, which one might you recommend?
MP Peter Dutton has that hard edged look common to ex-coppers, especially ex coppers who, like Dutton, dealt with junkies, drug dealers and the dregs of society.
More pollies should get that cranky and disdainful look.
If Elder doesn’t win in calishitia that’s it, it’s all fucking over. Between the corruption of the left and the stupidity of the punters the West is as rooted as head prefect’s taste in women and TV programs.

There’s at least two other videos, which would seem to be the same shopping centre & same police, where the crowd turns on the police & drives them from the shopping centre.
The police are last seen exiting in what is almost a Roman Turtle formation & exiting by walking backward, so as to keep an eye on the irate crowd of shoppers.
The police may be wearing body armour and carrying pain-inflicting weapons, presumably they’re acutely conscious of what may happen were an angry crowd to isolate one & get him on the ground.
Anything could happen, including the officer never getting up again.
Ha Rabz it was such fun I got the urge to do a few more just now, ending with Big Calm. One of the sad things in life is that invention of iPods and YT has killed the LP album. Which led to bands doing lots more live shows to make money…only for the Wuhan crud to come along and nuke that option too. We’re going to be in a music wasteland, soon enough, populated only by K-pop boy bands and Celine Dion covers.

BTW, the ex-copper who appeared at the old cat to back up the ‘Kitting Ladies’ in their attacks against victims of one of the most filthy patches in the Country & World, is from that same, one of the most filthy patches in the Country & World.
The patch that cruised around the world with Tax Payer Money, looking for anyone who’d make a criminal claim against Cardinal George Pell.
For a Strat guy, Spurgeon/Rabz…try an SG.
You’ll likely find a Les Paul too heavy and dark, which they are.
You can justify the purchase because the SG occupies a completely different sonic space from a Strat.
And they’re not just one trick Angus Young ponies. You can play jazz and blues on an SG.
But try a few out before you buy, Rabz. Gibson’s quality control has never been as good as Fender’s and the whole set neck thing makes it a different beast to make.
In the beginning you’ll probably find the different scale length difficult to adjust to because your fretting hand’s muscle memory will be accustomed to Fender’s longer length. As with everything related to guitar, persistence is the key to overcoming this.
@ Motherlode-
That approach is still current to the Australian Army’s training. Certainly as I experienced as a Reservist between 2006 and 2012.
All diggers sit in on the section briefing. All are advised of the Section’s mission (as part of the bigger Troop/Platoon plan), then advised of the Commander’s Intent at Platoon/Troop (1-Up) and Company (2-Up) level. And so on up for Troop/Platoon Commanders, Squadron/Company OCs, Regiment/Battalion commanders, etc.
The idea being that you might not be able to achieve your mission yourself, but you can work to assist Higher achieve theirs.
Or even go further and take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself at the time.
China, Soviet Russia and its client states were all tightly controlled hierarchical forces. The only strategic initiative permitted was held in a small coterie of high-ranking Staff officers.
This is a characteristic of Communist militaries, as free thinking within the ranks is considered dangerous.
The PLA is still very much captive to this philosophy.
