On the 15 December 2014 Tori Johnson went to work at the Lindt Cafe, as he did most mornings. Katrina Dawson went in to the Lindt Cafe to buy a hot chocolate, as she most mornings. Neither Tori nor Katrina left the cafe alive.

Since Struth is off propping up the communist system you might be able to answer this.
The little jazz clubs where he plays classical banjo.
Do they have QR codes at the door?
Because I deem them to be instruments and symbols of TyRaNny. I will never darken the door of such an establishment and pluck my banjo for their entertainment whilst they display these Nazi symbols.
This is the original and best form of protest and I expect everyone to fall in behind.
You could argue that both were victims of imbecilic government, Cassie.
But don’t go firing off your own form letters willy-nilly about individual rights.
Anything in this space, particularly about individual freedom of speech, needs to be tightly controlled and vetted by our Communications Committee.
Infidel Tiger, is that you?
Or do you prefer to be called by your real name, Mr Kirkup?
Do you mind if I call you Zac?
Can I nominate the following as a Liberty Quote please?

“… dog shit lying in the sun waiting for the Labor lawnmower to break them into dust.”
Brilliant. The Liberal Party truly is an expelled waste product with no further use, other than to assault our sense of smell & our footwear.
Love it.
So where will you go to sip your over-priced l?tté and revel in your imaginary freedoms?
{Sad face thingy}
I’ll try this again.

Thanks for that, Gab. I will send it on to all my kids – they will need to know about this for their employees. What a mare’s nest of stupidity.
“You could argue that both were victims of imbecilic government, Cassie.”
They were indeed Calli. It was a monumental failure beginning with successive federal government departments who should have deported the cockroach Man Monis, then by our soft judicial system that should have kept the cockroach Man Monis in prison and then, on that awful day in December 2014, by an impotent NSW police command that had several chances to take the cockroach out, who stalled and stalled and stalled and were too busy falling for leftist progressive lies that Muslims were being abused…..as though that was more important than the lives of the people in that cafe.
Oops. Sorry about the repetition. It didn’t seem to work the first time.
Hobbled by Hubs.
Vaccines delivered by a GP as a percentage of total jabs outside care.
NSW 65%
Vic 52%
Just about accounts for the better jab rate in NSW.
Monis should not have been let in nor should have he been free.
Katrina Dawson was killed by the ideology of her brethren.
Monis’ crimes were numerous and terrible.
It was suicide by cop.
I think the last time I went to Lindt was around Christmas 2020.
They did a decadent mocha, as you’d expect.
PS it’s not gay for a man to have a mocha at a chocolate shop.
Just had this very discussion with someone yesterday.
Big Government loves the idea of large centralised and visible facilities, when distribution via GPs and pharmacies is far more effective.
Oh, and some here might not like your characterisation of 65% being “better” than 52%.
and it’s companies are increasingly cronyist woke shells of their former selves.
Ahem, Boeing. Glad I didn’t buy any shares about 5 years ago.
What a charlie foxtrot. They got a contract to deliver people to the ISS worth $4.2 billion IIRC, SpaceX got $2.6 billion for the same thing and are routinely flying.
Boeing were going to do a second unmanned test of the Starliner capsule a few weeks ago because the first was a software disaster and were within a few hours of launching when they discovered a couple of dozen valves in the spacecraft were sticking. After trying mechanical, electrical and thermal methods of freeing them (translation – hit with hammer, jiggle the switches a few times, OK blow hot air and cold air on the damn things) the thing is now back in the factory being dis-assembled.
How the mighty have fallen.
Hah! Serves ’em right for supporting tyranny. How dare they try to make a living under an oppressive regime? They should all have been willing to be political prisoners.
Not me though. Most generals have to lead from the back, it’s just a practical thing. You don’t want a Field Marshal captured.
It’s not totally conclusive, but it’s strong circumstantial evidence.
Tell me.
How many pairs of shoes do you have?
What colour is your favourite jacket?
Do you own Barbra Streisand or Kylie Minogue records?
Many of whom escaped using their own ingenuity without a finger lifted by our bovine police force.
This is correct, insofar as that government refused to give the necessary job to the best qualified and experienced people to resolve it, and instead relied on ‘home-grown’ people who begged and pleaded for a chance*.
I refer to the ADF SF people being overlooked in favour of local jacks. Obviously.
Look, I know this has been done to death. But go back and have a look at the ‘tactical’ people in NSWPOL before, at, and immediately after entry to that cafe. Watch them bunched up, creeping up.
Then have a look at the entry itself. There’s about a dozen of them elbowing each other out of the way getting inside, thus both blocking ingress and presenting the easiest of targets to anyone that wasn’t an idiot. Even one with an area weapon, like a shotgun. Which the crook had.
After that, there was a competition to see who could fire the most rounds, and what I am reasonably confident was an exercise in letting everyone have a go. This will have been a process where the greatest number of people possible had the opportunity to recount later stories about how he got to fire a weapon in an (any) operational setting – a rarity for the jacks.
Any half decent operator would have put two thirds of that entry team on the deck. Permanently.
On a related note, I maintain the belief that the primary reason Mongyang protestors were pepper-balled and subject to baton rounds was not the demeanour of the crowd. It was to justify the purchase of the equipment, and to appease the screeching of certain quarters in VicJack Inc, to wit: ‘Please please please let us use this stuff, finally’.
Just two examples of fucking awful decision making by people who should know better.
*A bit like hotel quarantine, as well.
It is to brag about it.
Like how my mates from Ken’s of Kensington go on a fishing trip to Jindabyne each year in the off season.
Damn we caught some big trout back 2018. So many too. Had to wrestle some of those things for hours. A very rewarding and exhilarating experience though.
Most generals have to lead from the back, it’s just a practical thing. You don’t want a Field Marshal captured.
The lack of awareness is spectacular.
Maybe that’s the last lesson at Big Websites school.
“How to be a chickenhawk without looking like a chickenhawk”.
Somebody has to stuff those white feathers in envelopes and post them south.
And sneak out to an unattended cenotaph once a year for a stunning and brave display of their awesomeness.
In retrospect, it is peculiar (“funny” is inappropriate) that we get AJs working for the jacks to check up on innocent citizens for da coof, but the Army were not allowed to take control of the Lindt situation.
soon enough they’ll start complaining about coffee queues and prices
Such are my feelings on this matter, I have not darkened the door of any such place since 1971.
Aside from all those times I have.
Monis should not have been let in nor should have he been free.

Agree.
” but the Army were not allowed to take control of the Lindt situation.”
Yep.
rickw, Jetson One won’t necessarily crash because of a single component failure. There are 8 motors and rotors. If one fails the software should turn off the corresponding diagonal one and still fly. It needs excess thrust anyway, probably around 1.5 times the weight with all running.
The other way to minimise risk is to put wings on and transition to fixed wing horizontal flight mode so very little time is spent in vertical flight mode. See Blackfly Opener and this site: https://evtol.news/
It’s like riding a Vespa or snogging a fat chick just before the pub’s ugly lights come on at 4.00 a.m.
It’s pretty good, but you don’t want to be seen by your mates doing it.
I. apparently, missed this tidbit whilst reading the Obeid sentencing outcome on various media outlets …..
Eddy Obeid was released on bail awaiting his appeal against his gaol sentence because of fear of catching BAT FLU!
In all seriousness, some chains like Kathmandu were very Karencretinoidish over masks last year (2020) so I ACTUALLY don’t want to buy swag from them anymore.
I won’t even send my garcon in to buy their stuff with unmarked, non sequential $20 notes.
It’s pretty good, but you don’t want to be seen by your mates doing it.
That’s a very long list.
Did someone say it was rosé time?
Dot, please.
Kathmandu is the outfitter of choice for boomer Extinction Rebellion members.
A precursor to surfing the ugly lights was allegedly Don Camillo sparkly. Used to be eight bucks a bottle over the bar.
Ideal for off pay weeks. It is said by some.
but with a trail of economic ruin and human misery
behindahead of us.Pfft. Real men wear North Face.
My choices were Kathmandu or The North Face.
I was young and naive.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I thought no one would notice.
Friends of the ABC casual wear.
Being a mocca drinking pooftah pansy, I prefer About Face.
Not me though. Most generals have to lead from the back, it’s just a practical thing. You don’t want a Field Marshal captured.
Yep, the British Army High Command was not amused when it came to light that 4 generals ended up on the ground during Operation Market garden in Arnhem ……..
Aha!
Sancho,
My wife got the jab at the chemist and took our teen daughter to a hub.
She said the chemist was efficient and informative.
The hub was a drawn out pain in the arse and pushed propaganda on our daughter.
The chemist told my wife that the vaccines did not contain antibiotics which were a possible cause of many past adverse results from flu jabs, resulting in reluctance by people who’ve had a nasty reaction.
The Venn overlap between Friends of the ABC and boomer Extinction Rebellion members is 93.1%.
Right. Better go and do some work stuff.
*rattles spray can*
Right. Better go and do some work stuff.

Dominic Cummings, commenting on why UK Labour should get rid of dud Keir Starmer.
I have a work mate that doesn’t drink coffee, he only has hot choc.
Whenever I order for us both, I usually ask for “a strong flat white for me, and a hot choc for my girlfriend here.”
Coffee gayness is a spectrum. From Espresso Arrow Straight, through BiCurious Macchiato, to Roaring Queen Latte.
Mocha at an [ahem] ‘chocolate shop’ is the equivalent of visiting a drag cabaret, wearing a fascinator because “No, really, I’m not into it, it’s just a bit of fun…”
I prefer the Ralph Lauren Gentleman Farmer range.
Especially their polos…
#Honk
I am deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply offended.
Nothing wrong with a double ristretto piccolo latte.
Like Norm, I am also deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply closeted.
Nothing says “bonus” like spending $200 large on a tractor and getting a cap and windcheater thrown in.
Incidentally, I do like to pop into a John Deere dealer and ask him if he has anything in red or blue.
Sancho, the new Victorian health orders must have galvanised you to go and get jabbed?
Sorry ‘bern.
It looks like mocha drinkers are gayer than Liberace.
Tractors and farming equipment is also the only place where a Lamborghini is less of an expensive and potentially unreliable frippery…*
(It will also get itself over the average speed-bump. Unlike your typical Countach, Aventador or other model)
Nothing is “galvanising” me to do anything.
I have consistently said I am leaning towards getting the vax.
The Oxford University individual assessment questionnaire put up by Dover the other night confirmed that.
I will probably do something about it in the next couple of weeks.
Why is it of interest to you?
The moment the first hostages escaped, the assault team should have entered immediately, using the same route.
Clearly it wasn’t barricaded, boobytrapped or observed (hostages managed to sneak out). It was also quite clear that Monis had lost control of his stronghold.
It was an opportunity missed, and people died.
Is this the beginning of John Deere vs Case IH wars?
GetUp tea ladies
Choices have consequences.
Coffee drinkers calling hot-chocolate drinkers queer is a bit like Tom Cruise complaining Ian Thorpe is a bit gay for him.
Excellent!
That was my intent.
Dunno. Free block of wax with your new surfboard is a sweet deal.
But that was then:
If we send in the Army, the proles will realise how serious this is.
As opposed to now:
If we send in the Army, the proles will realise how serious this is.
Nah.
CAT or bust.
Because CAT Yellow is an easy colour to apply as a spray enamel.
I’ve done JCB and John Deere Yellows, and both are awful- Tendency to clump and run, and because they look either too washed out or garish, very easy to apply too much.
They are not as awful as Hitachi Orange, though- That is a very pigment-heavy paint with a very high tendency towards runs, and so bright it makes CAT Yellow look brown.
Is this the beginning of John Deere vs Case IH wars?
Count me in!!!!
One of the options in any situation is “do nothing”.
That has consequences too.
If I am weighing up personal consequences for me and my family against the ever-changing shrill demands of a white feather distributor 4,000 kilometres away, which one do you reckon gets priority?
Spack off, Bird.
None of the Lindt Café dead deserve your desecration.
Go rant about aether and atomic camouflets under New York post 9/11 elsewhere.

Come sooking to me when Struth has conjectured up the ability to crawl down the optical fibre, and actively curtail your right to choice. As I see it, the only one currently doing that is our glorious leader.

Just saying:
It was not, despite privileges of pay and treatment, an easy job: more officers died per capita than the troops: 27% of officers killed on the Western Front as compared to 12% of the men.
A fella I know is quite fond of his Milwaukee tool sets and battery electric kit. Their electric grease gun in particular is pretty dam gucci. And the batteries hold their charge for quite a while.
I like the Ryobi stuff we have at Castle Anger (Only bought 2 new replacement 18V batteries last year, after getting the first lot in 2016), but for heavy duty work I think I’d be loading up on the Milwaukee.

Must be a federal election somewhere:
The next generation of Australians will be unwilling to defend their country in a military crisis, because schools are feeding students a negative view of its history and undermining confidence in liberal democracy, the Education Minister will warn in a major speech on Friday.
Alan Tudge will push for more far-reaching changes to the draft national curriculum in a speech to the Centre for independent Studies, including its treatment of history, which he warns could entrench ideological misgivings, such as referring to “our most sacred day, Anzac Day, as a contested idea”.
While Mr Tudge says a revised version of the draft curriculum includes a stronger focus on phonics and the introduction of multiplication timetables in year three rather than year four, he expresses deep concern that children are still fed “negative views of our country, our history and our people”.

See now, bern, I read that as:

And wouldn’t dream of knocking it even if I had tried it. A man’s preference in that area is his own business.
But let’s be honest and admit that drinking that shit is advertising.
Two Commando had built a replica of the Lindt Cafe, and worked out how to storm the place, but the Government was afraid of a backlash from the followers of a certain religion in Western Sydney….
Blah blah blah.
He will do precisely nothing about it.
At six months out from the French presidential election it’s early days, but the front runner to take on waning star Manu Micron, having just overtaken Marine Le Pen in the polling, hasn’t even announced his candidacy and nor does he lead a political party.
Dubbed the “French Trump”, unabashed nationalist Eric Zemmour, an assimilated Jew of Algerian Berber descent, is upsetting all the right people. He has been caste as a “far-right” villain by the press, although he himself prefers to be regarded as a Gaullist who transcends the historical left-right divide in France.
Worth keeping a weather eye on, not least because his election could trigger Frexit.
Sounds like tea drinker prejudice creeping in here.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/22/i-locked-eyes-with-a-stranger-crossing-the-street-and-felt-the-blast-of-pure-eros
It was June 2020, really early in the morning, still dark around the edges, and I was crossing the big intersection at Spencer and Bourke streets in Melbourne.
I was half asleep and the only people around were tradies. At the other end of the crossing, I locked eyes with one of them and, out of nowhere, suddenly felt weak with lust.
The whole thing – the whole long, loaded glance – only lasted a few seconds, until the lights changed and the road was crossed. But more than a year later I still remember the intensity of the feeling.
It was a blast of pure eros. Every cell was lit up. If it had been possible to just do it in the middle of the road with this yellow-vest stranger, I would have.
A bit.

Faith’s an asset, not a liability
By Monica Doumit -October 22, 2021
There has been a lot of commentary in recent weeks about the Catholicism of our new Premier, Dominic Perrottet.
There has been some predictably ignorant and bigoted commentary in the usual publications that are unfortunately too numerous to name. These set up Premier Perrottet’s Catholicism as the Bogey Man, using his pro-life voting record and connections to Pared schools as window dressing and his wife and six children as collateral damage to push their anti-male, anti-faith and anti-life ideologies.
…
Perhaps, instead of suspicion and derision, our new Premier needs our prayers, that he may live up to the great promise of what a believing and practising Catholic should do in public office. All of us, not just the Catholics, will be better off if he does.
Sure. If I wanted to avoid criticism, I would have kept the keyboard tappers firmly in my pockets.
Constructive criticism is one thing. A daily diatribe and Alinski-ing is another. So easy to become what we detest most.
What are they saying??? Are we supposed to do that? I thought it’s the government that keeps us all safe.
Depressing.
The screws tighten, and on here the stupid bickering and trivialities continue.
St Ruth’s penchant for criticism won’t be altered by anything I do or don’t do.
How much weight would I give to the opinion of someone who professes to be all about personal freedom and the welfare of his fellow citizens, but can also type the words “I hope you take the jab and get a blood clot. You deserve it.”?
About 0.0000% weighting is where I am putting it.
Did any Victorian Cats honk their horn at midnight in thanks to the great & wonderous Dan?
Damn straight.
Until he sells the truck and runs adverts against the TyRaNny as I have directed him to do, he isn’t showing me he’s got any skin in the game.
I saw one of these yesterday and thought it was photoshopped. But no, it’s real.

I don’t know mate, you’re the one who apparently reads every word and responds without fail.
Yes, like a French Farage, but with bigger balls; e.g. he doesn’t side-step the problems posed by mass Mulsim immigration and their failure to assimilate.
The Dapto Dog Caller really seems to enjoy his self appointed role as
persecutor of recalcitrant, law unabiding publicans.
Wonder if he had the same enthusiasm for hounding drug dealing coppers.
I cant help but notice the town of Carnarvon, on the coast, whos main industries are fishing and market gardens is now “outback” according to some news outlets.
Is “honk your horn at midnight” some sort of gay euphemism?
He needs to ban the use of the easy-teach ‘curriculum materials’ put out by the greens and other fellow travellers. Lazy teachers with a leftist bent will continue to use these unless adequate reference materials and lesson plans are provided as back up to his reformed curriculum.

Do you honestly think St Ruth has moved the opinion needle on here a millimetre (except possibly in the opposite direction to what he intends)?
Liberace was gay?
I well remember being associated with a group of females in the 1980s who lusted after Freddie Mercury. He looked pretty much a batter for the other side to most of us blokes, but they cited his going about with a German actress – if memory serves – as proof he wasn’t.
I ask you Arky.
Do you think wishing blood clots on your opponents in a debate is a winning strategy?
True or not, it’s totally irrelevant now.
Let’s Go Brandon got into the White House and his handlers are now destroying America.
Mission accomplished.
Great sign up at the ‘In-and-Out’ chain of restaurants. We frequented one on our drive down from LA to San Diego to pick up our cruise in March 2020. Good quick service and traditional America fare in the fast food style. I’d never heard of them before and was amused by the veracity of the name.
Now they are stalwarts against the hideous reign of Biden. Deserving of patronage, along with Chick-fil-A. Only when the woke realise that the ordinary people purchase too, and in great numbers, will there be some pushback.
I expect all this fake Manchin opposition to the Biden spending bill will end the day after the Virginia elections (Melbourne Cup day).
It’s the worst theatre on earth.

If you didn’t have a choice, Frank, I wouldn’t be trying to convince you not to take the jab.
But in doing so, you take away my choice not to have it, but that’s fine, all rights no responsibilities, hey?
Civic duty is not understood by the libertarian, it’s all about “me rights”
I play in pubs where no one signs in and no one asks me to sign in.
I support the pubs that don’t demand it.
If they are ignoring the bullshit, they deserve all the support they can get.
Seeing I’m advertised to be there, and still don’t sign in tells you what?
You guys are actually down to….Struth is a hypocrite because he is working.
FMD.
I work with no mask, no jab, no test, no social distancing, just like I did before this coup d’etat sat me on my arse and the work I do now doesn’t come anywhere near what I could have made if I had complied.
So tell me, does your freedom of choice to take a jab knowing it will end up starving out , or sending to a concentration camp your fellow Australians, while helping to bring in digital tyranny for all, make you think twice?
Or is it just “me, me , me”.
I have never had the power to force anyone to do anything, so I just use strength of argument that the guilty see as me demanding things, (which, again, I’ve never been able to do)
You can pretend that your own life will be saved only by driving your car into a crowd of people as well………freedom of choice comes with responsibilities to others, so you don’t kill them and you don’t take away their rights to freedom of choice in doing whatever the hell you please.
Hold up.

No. It warms the cockles of my heart that they’re now able to show their app thingo and go have a coffee. Bravo. Meanwhile my family is worrying about whether or not our daughter can resume a semi normal childhood or if that’s going to be held hostage for us to get an injection neither of us want.

Hilti too.
deWalt are pretty tough and better priced
Events keep it fresh.
Reading the book turned out to be like studying a history of the future.
Why, because you are frightened by assertive people? Or is it guns that frighten you? Not urbane behaviour was it? Not approved by the right people, was it?
My favourite Bossanova songs were Allison, Rock Music, and Velouria.
Yes.
Yes, I think I will.
Covid is gay: Absolute proof here.
eww … phrasing
Big Brother is gay.
Yes the telescreen in 1984 is very reminiscent of smart phones.
Um, that’s KD putting words in my mouth.
I never said I hope you get a blood clot.
If you can’t win on the strength of your own argument, make something up.
When people get confronted by their own selfish miserable failings, they aren’t going to like it, I get that.
I can neither force, demand, or order anyone to do anything.
Those that think I can, are mistaking a forceful argument against their position which shines light on something they’d rather not have to contemplate, and therefore over react to my plain, direct style, and claim it is offensive.
You’re offended by the truth and the bastard that keeps speaking it.
And incredibly persuasive.
By the way, you’re gay.
Depressing news.
Of course our useless premier (Marshall) will be watching the tea leaves, waiting for his moment to enact similar nonsense and have his moment in the sun*.
But now we know there isn’t much chance that our political class will let things go back to normal, so the battle is clearly laid out before us.
On the plus side, there are now a lot of angry people with time on their hands and a desire to change things. Probably enough of us to do the job, even though the rot goes deep in our political system.
*In the sun in 45C heat while staked to a sand hill well off the beaten track near Lake Eyre, preferably. The dogs out there are looking for a nice flabby meal and they are very resistant to toxins.
Suggestion – No, it’s because the entire journo collective will now close ranks. Including those who aren’t full-on lefties. So he’ll get no coverage except in the worst possible light. The vid will be played over and over by the Left smearing him as a Nazi (yes I know his heritage). This is a Romney 47% hot mike moment.
The two who will benefit are the soft-righty and Ms Le Pen, which is perhaps a plus. I don’t know much about the soft righty, but he/it has been ahead in the polls.

The Victorian Authorised Life Conduct Code (2021) has clearly been drafted by excited committees of childless, in-the-bubble public servants. All vying to add their own special little touches to the Brave New World.
The evidence:
29 Food and drink premises
Seated patrons
(1) The operator of a food and drink premises must take all reasonable steps to ensure that a patron remains seated when the patron is:
(a) entering or leaving the premises;
(b) making an order;
(c) accessing a bathroom.
Is this real, or is it a parody?

Shitting on the floor is so NY these days.
1969 Liberace Show Boogie Woogie
Haha, I used to be in the AAR. Good with a SLR but not so much with a M60, which of course they made me carry all the time since I was the biggest guy in the section.
Yes. I must have missed all those French riots over jab mandates that were not shown by the media. The Fascist response to the China Virus is the MSMs waterloo. They are now hated.
Public Service to prepare for caretaker mode. Government has run out of money. Election likely in new year.
The M60 fed on human sweat – the longer you carried it, the heavier it got!
It’s Victoria. Everything is gay here.
You have the freedom to do whatever you like as long as it doesn’t harm others.
Complying to tyrant’s demands, harms millions of others.
That’s the old normal Bruce.
In the New Improved Normal*, those journalists will be gone, because we will have replaced them with parallel, organic structures. The old, elite establishment will wither for lack of people to sustain it.
The first step is not giving a shit about the fake outrage these arseholes use to shut down debate.
*As distinct from the Davos envisaged New Normal. The improved version will grow from loose collections of like minded people.
Did I miss a bird visit?
Truly excellent presentation of where we are and how we got here from Irishman Dave Cullen.
IRELAND CONTINUES TO SLOUCH TOWARDS TOTALITARIANISM
I was rather surprised that the first words out of his mouth were about Australia but, as he says, New Normal is the euphemism for slavery.
Prediction: He’ll continue to rise in the polls.
He’s a lightning rod for rising French discontent.
Health hazard said it- New world order.

Is this real,

Caught in a lockdown,
no escape from insanity
Open your eyes
Look up to the mongs and seeee
Im just a wage slave, I get no sympathy
Because moneys easy come, easy go,
Taxes high, take home low,
Any way government goes doesn’t really matter to
Them, to them…

I know we’ve all put on a bit of beef, but compulsory mobility scooters at the door? Have they proof read their own orders?
Suggestion – He has threatened journalists. The most self-aggrandizing, entitled and snootily superior people on the planet, who, by the way, absolutely control everything that French voters see.
They’d cover the protests since they’re used to that from the yellow-vest movement, and journos aren’t all vax fan-kids. But they will not like a pollie threatening them. It’s personal.
Re France- remember what happened to Jorg Haider in Austria. We are dealing with unscrupulous, well resourced, evil and powerful people. The Soros-EU-UN global socialist axis.
Ok BON, I see we are not going to agree on this one. Fair enough.
The most realistic Vietnam war movie scene is in Forrest Gump when the pig (M60) jams. Horrible things in the jungle.
People under estimate how tough NFL players are.
Last year, Tom Brady played most of the season with a torn MCL.
Earlier this year, the quarterback for the Browns tore his labrum (shoulder socket injury) & fractured his humerus.
He finished that game, played two more, before having to sit out this weekend.
My significant other got herself frankenvaxxed yesterday. Probably due to pressure from her parents. Her body her choice. She is as sick as a dog now.
I have fed the animals and made my own breakfast.
Does anyone know if these sorts of reactions are over by lunchtime? Inquiring minds need to know.

Robert Graves wrote that when he returned to France in WW1, after a period of convalescing in Britain, he had ditched his officer’s britches and bought a pair of trousers – apparently the Germans used to look for the enemy with the narrow knees knowing them to be officers.
He needed to get rid of the jacket as well. Those used by officers had a distinctly different cut and materiel quality.
Mmm….the amusing thing over the next two months will be as WA realise they have boxed themselves in to a corner – and it was all under the “leadership” of Sneakers.
Feelthebern,
Ballet dancers are known for being robust.
Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant
We, Caesar, who are about to die, salute you.
Mater, you really should cobble together your morning comments together as a post.
I pretty much agree with you, however, I think a large pool of those that vaxxed during this last lockdown did so under duress, resent it, and that will have political consequences. There are also a lot of people angry about the lockdowns, etc. and this will have political consequences too. I’m not sure of the extent of it, but it will I think boost considerable interest in those minor parties actively resisting the SoEs, medical segregation, coerced vaccinations, and the like.
There is a lot of time for Perfidious Dan’s scheme to go pear-shaped in the next year. A good indicator will be this year’s winter season in the northern hemisphere. If cases, hospitalizations, and deaths go northwards, as they will, and he is heading into an election with high vaxx rates as well as booming cases and the like, that resentful pool of vaxxed voters is going to be getting very, very angry. And this ignores the possibility of adverse cases presenting as we get into booster N0 2 territory and inflammatory diseases perceptibly increase and even gaslit doctors start believing their lying eyes.
Only in the Territory Department:
ONE of the largest crocodiles at Croc Cove, who was taken into captivity for being a menace, has died.
Axel the saltwater croc came in at a hefty 900kg and was 5.1m long.
He was a popular croc for Croc Cove’s Cage of Death encounter in which tourists are plunged into a tank in a clear cage.
In his duties he scared the day lights out of those game enough to do the Cage of Death, including Sophie Monk.
It’s estimated Axel was over the age of 80.
Federal officers in the American Civil War quickly learned to do the same thing after they found that Confederate snipers targeted them. And the Zouaves soon ditched those red pantaloons and fez hats!
Range shoot at Malabar in major Flanneries pissing down. Wet through even undies, so was the gun. Then creepily it started to run away. Finger off trigger but the rounds kept on firing. By the time I thought OK maybe I should do something like break the belt fortunately it slowed down and stopped of its ownsome. Several others in the section also had the same problem.
Next weekend I was doing base duty, here’s a whole bunch of worn out M60 bolts in the garbage bin…
Already underway…comments in the West Australian reportedly running strongly against him.
I’m just p!ssing myself laughing…
