It certainly is. The crows here have been busy all day robbing nests.
In better news the black moorhens have hatched a clutch. The little flotilla sailed by, smaller craft in the centre, while the gunships patrolled the perimeter. Sadly, what lurks beneath will get some – the lake is full of enormous eels.
Yes, Rosie is snarky. But unlike the Queen Bees who do nothing other than throw shade on patriotic triers and jape with each other, Rosie does bless the Cat with pertinent links and a determined scepticism which invites further investigation.

It’s a little ambiguous, but I think the gay warrior isn’t suggesting they’re going after the kids sexually. I think he saying they’re trying to convert the kids to being more tolerant of gays. He supports this by saying he believes the kids will then convert the parents. I don’t think “conversion” is means the kids and the parents are going to become shirt lifters, pillow biters and carpet munchers through persuasion.
I need a lesson in how to put in a link to a clip; thank you to anyone/everyone who answers.
Lizzie – Yes the channel bills have been raising a ruckus here too. Two fruiting Port Jackson fig trees in neighbours’ yards are channel-bill heaven. My local southern lady magpie was looking at a second nesting (since her fledgling vanished) but with all the channel bills I think she’s given up.
Kid lorikeet is now working on a second jar lid of honey-mush.
Talking about carpet munchers, pillow biters and shirt lifters…
Black men are obviously way down the woke totem pole compared to trannies after what happened to black comedian, Dave Chappelle.
For those who follow his blog, Arthur Chrenkoff (dailychrenk) has a good post on “Envy – the deadly sin of radical politics.
Great protest in Melbourne today. I will be at the next one with bells on.

Rabz, the idiot is a Coddiwompler.
Disgusting but predictable.
Back when we used to religiously observe the many rituals of that wondrous meadow game (Saturdays, usually), this mighty useful piece of kit was monikered “Ashley“. 🙂
You’ve got to love the Brits. It’s sad they’re on the way out. Still 12000 years wasn’t a bad innings I suppose.

China Summons Four TV Broadcasters For “Excessive Entertainment” (29 Oct)
I think that’s a prime reason the Soviet regime fell: communism is really really boring. Not a problem here because the stuff on FTA is so unwatchable no one could call it “entertainment”.
Heheh. Even funnier is that the Spooky Men’s Chorale is Australian, from the Blue Mountains. And like to sing Georgian folk songs, the Glagolitic Mass and other goodies.
So multiculturalist, it’s a wonder they haven’t been made compulsory yet… 🙂
This means many, many contretemps … 🙁
Thick skulls will be caved in (repeatedly).

Rabz, they ran it up the flagpole yesterday via the usual suspects including Sky and the ghastly Ray Hadley.

Pool – the game is so simple yet so bloody difficult
Fenders – pure yart, capable of making a lot of noise, pleasant or otherwise
The ability to express oneself – blogs such as these have provided a handy platform to vent many, many frustrations with life as we know it …
Everyone else on this blogue – yeah, yeah, yeah … 😕
Someone in the crowd said that the next protest would be Tuesday outside the Melbourne Club and they want to get 10,000 because that’s the number of vaccinated who will be allowed at the Cup.
It’s a little ambiguous, but I think the gay warrior isn’t suggesting they’re going after the kids sexually.
Don’t be naive.
They’re off to a good start. 500 cops rostered on and deployed already.
I am incensed that Ray Hadley seems to be ruining the state.
We elected a Liberal government to do that.

Dot not sure whether it was city lawyers or voice for Victoria but one of them retweeted the other day some hearsay that PCR tests are designed to be run at around 30 cycles and the ones being run during the panic have been at around 50. Says it all really.
I’ll go looking & link it.

Reuters Fact Check
Viral social media posts claim some newborn babies in Britain died of pulmonary haemorrhage shortly after birth due to mothers being vaccinated against COVID-19 during pregnancy. However, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) told Reuters there is no available data showing that.

What have we as a country – a first world country – become? sfw, while this dreadful lack of care and concern you experienced today at hospital did not start with the China Pestilence, it’s found its feet there now.
A few years back under ” having a safe working environment” signs started to appear in A&Es advising?/ warning? patients and their supporters not to abuse hospital staff, because it may see the person ejected from the hospital.
Few people would set out to abuse nurses or doctors, especially when they’re overwhelmed with patients. However, there are times when the length of stay and the numbers of sick people waiting while ill and in pain endlessly goes on. In this context what is abuse? Asking for some help?, wanting an update and becoming frustrated because of worry and pain?, painkillers? Whatever it is the mere present of these signs can cower people at their most vulnerable.
There are some fine nurses and doctors and, like in other walks of life, there are some unfeeling bastards too. Protocols and “behaviours” that do not offer much support to sick people are the antithesis of care but seem to be at the forefront of how the patient is treated, especially now.
sfw, hope all goes well after your mishap, and very sorry that was your experience of quality care /sarc under the new regime of Covid-19 in that Victorian hospital.
The Anger family were semi-willing caretakers for one of these cheeky little Normans for a time, so based on that experience, I’d vouch for defacing your ballot paper with Rosella shit…
Guitar preferences need not be a zero sum game.
Professional guitarists who earn a living from session work will tend to own a number of different brands in order to get just the right sound as required by the producer. A Gretsch sounds different to a Fender which in turn sounds different to a Gibson. The end user, i.e. the consumer, might not be able to tell you which guitar was used but he certainly knows the sound he likes.
That being said, I notice a lot of great older players – Mark Knofler, Eric Clapton for e.g. – settle on a Strat in their later years. I figure this is because the nut width, neck radius and scale length offer a more comfortable playing experience when your fingers and wrists aren’t as dexterous as they once were. Mind you, Jimi Hendrix & Rory Gallagher, both guitar luminaries, settled on Strats in their 20s.
Different strokes for different folks. Enjoy the music!
Springsteen is the third best banjo player in the E Street ensemble.
Lofgren first.
Daylight second.
Van Zandt next.
Springsteen trailing.

Zip, stop worrying. High inflation will only become systemic if the Fed supports it. They don’t, or at least it doesn’t support inflation above the target over a prolonged period of time. (Target is 2% to 2.5%).
The bond market’s expectation closed yesterday at 2.62%.
DO NOT confuse a change in relative prices caused by covid shortages as inflation. The Fed watches Personal Income Expenditure (PCE) as their inflation marker.
Let me repeat, inflation is always an monetary issue and the central banks can set nominal GDP wherever the fuck it wants.
Up to now the Fed had a credibility problem in not being able to maintain the target remaining below for the past 12 years or so by an average of .25%.

Say 6 of each? I don’t know the difference of missions they are designed to fulfill and their capabilities at each, but a degree of specialisation seems to be a good thing.
Moreover, the research revealed that framing COVID-19 as a high risk significantly increased support for anti-COVID measures, which, in the researchers’ opinion, could promote support for anti-democratic policies across the globe.
Oh yea that was you who said that, Not Rabz.

I concur (it’s always good when you can concur).
Lofgren had a budding solo career back in the late ’70s.
It’s a pity it never took off.
You didn’t get to the secret thousand-year-old conspiracies by the papal-led elites then.

A truly horrible person.

The bass player always looked like a geography teacher on mogadon.

Collectivism – it never rests.
Came across a music story today with photo of the guy with a National. Alas I can’t recall what the story was or where I done seen it. Grr.
So now I haves to give a National songy thingie.
(Ok, I don’t know if this track was done on a National, a Gibson or a Strat. He uses all three.)

Got disinvited from a craft group meet-up in person today because of vax status. 20 years of friendship shot down in one simple email. Have a list of several other things I can do with my Saturday afternoons and my hard earned money and will choose learn a new skill in the future.
Disappointed but not at all surprised.
What about a mix of the Virginia and Astute Classes?
I wouldn’t go for that. It means more training; more spares, more tactical procedures etc etc.
I’m supposed to be writing an article on where we are for a few magazines – but thinking I will say in it a) we have to buy now, and b) if we insist on building more then copy what we’ve bought without fiddling with it – eg: as we did with the Collins.
The Astutes are less displacement and need a smaller crew so probably easier to adjust to. However we train and fight more with the Americans so there’s that.
“Sorry, but your choice
Choice, Liz? Are you trying to be funny? Coercion is the reality – I will not kneel – look up the groove armada song, if you could be bothered from your position of moral superiority . Thanks for leaving your brother in it (again).”
Rabz…I’m lucky to know you and I’ve met your sister. Sancho is right, try not to burn bridges with family, especially your sister…she and her hubby are delightful, yes they’re collectivist millionaire ABC watchers….similar to my brother in the UK, who’s a rich collectivist BBC watcher. Despite the monstrous times we’re living in, we need to protect and preserve some important things, like family.
This is what happens when you imbibe massive quantities of the demon drink on a Saturday night. 🙂

On the other hand, my two regular groups of tennis tragics, don’t give a stuff about whether I have a passport or not. I can’t join them inside for coffee afterwards but they’ve already offered to sit outside with me after bringing collecting the coffee.
And at my favourite library this morning, the lovely librarian did not bat an eye when I said I wouldn’t provide a vax pass. We are still continuing our contactless click and collect even after we reopen, she said. Good to know that this library’s stated mission of free and open access to everyone has been respected in the doing, and not just in the workshopping,

Bert Newton dead.
I’ve stayed in Secaucus, New Jersey in a big hotel near a stadium. The Sheraton?
Was interesting experience, only one train station from Madison Square Gardens, we spent our days in NYC and got to admire the skyline at night . While we were there the hotel hosted a massive Jewish wedding party, we chit chatted to some of the guests, they had booked an entire floor of the hotel, and there was a big baseball convention , people crowding around for autographs, I didn’t recognise anyone, naturally.
We accidentally caught the express to Newark one night, lots of abandoned factories, looked very depressed.
I hope to visit the US in maybe late 2022 but will be heading mid west and south, one of my friends there had a stroke last September, I’d like to visit her, would have gone already except for you know what.

Also lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.
JC – thankfully, we were only physically there for a very short time. Left the Ford in the hotel carpark and caught the greyhound into Manhattan – with a sexy rock chick – who knew they’d be catching a bus into that mighty island? 🙂
What a view. The entire island laid out before you – with the Twin Towers dominating it all.
I think, sadly, Rex, you’re right about Australians not wanting to go for a nuclear deterrent.
Although one selling point is that it might be cheaper. Six ICBM-carrying subs, with two always at sea, might be less expensive than three aircraft carriers, which is what I’d like to see.
Not having a shot at you at all, but discussion and policy on Covid public health issues is crippled by credentialism and unsound ‘facts’.
On the provax side, ‘purview’ is what gives us CMO-driven claims about the possibility of herd immunity and 95% vaccination rates.
Couldn’t one do both?
RAN did very well for itself with its single WW2-vintage escort carrier for the longest time- Perceived and actual punch well in excess of its size
Johanna & Rex, thank you.
Yesterday, my brother told me about a friend of his who’s new baby had to have a blood transfusion because of a lack of platelets (the mother had been vaccinated, not sure when that was but given the time frame probably while pregnant; but it seems the vaccine came through the mother’s milk). Don’t know anymore.
Megan, I disinvited myself from mine until next year hoping the dust settles by then.

Just re-watched How The West Was Won. There is no way such a movie could be made today. White pioneers battling the elements and beating nature. The injuns were presented as noble luddites also beaten not so much by the white-man’s treachery but by their inability to change. Not an LGBTIQA fuckwit or woke turd in sight just good old pioneering spirit, guts and grit, from both the men and women..

A second back click sends me back to the previous page of the thread, skipping everything else.
It only happens here and it only started a short while ago.
Probably something my end as I’ve not notice anyone else mention such a problem.
Kelly’s Heroes irritated me to bits. What was a 70’s era peacenik/hippie doing in the middle of WWII?

It was intended to be pure entertainment, not a documentary. The phrase is “the willing suspension of disbelief”.
On a related subject, it was on (yet again) a few nights ago. After the Baldwin incident, I noted that when Clint was carrying his Tommy Gun, his finger was outside the trigger guard, and pointed straight along the line of the barrel. No chance of an AD there!
Dutton should order the Jeff Buckley class of attack submarine.
Guaranteed to hit a surface vessel’s prop.
Baba – Kelly’s Heroes is by Troy Kennedy Martin. Who wrote the BBC series Edge of Darkness. Beyond masterful. And how can you dislike a movie with Clint Eastwood as the hero in it?
But is it a vaxxed slab ™???

Brings up memories of a big overnight concrete pour not too far south of PNG. At about 8:00am the concreter, who had a fondness for Strongbow Dry was nonchalantly operating the helicopter one-handed while cradling one of the last of a slab of stubbies. A moment of inattention and the blades dug in.
Helicopter handle swings around at high speed.
What to do? So obvious. Catch helicopter handle with slurry hoe.
Oops! Slurry hoe ripped from grasp and now swinging around hooked to helicopter handle.
Fun times. You had to be there.

This is Eastwood’s second best war movie, after Where Eagles Dare. Basically it’s the optimistic version of Catch-22 where the average Joe is just a cog in the war machine. Here good old fashioned American enterprise beats the war machine; even the Krauts got into the spirit of it. And they weren’t hippies but beatniks or at least beatnik pre-cursers; but you really shouldn’t over-analyse it.
Guess who’s going to gaol tonite?
Here’s a hint – those that deserve to, but of course, won’t.
Yeah, I get it. I’m not blameless. But still.
Yep. Watched that live on “Real Rushkan” but from a different camera angle.
The dude speaking quit his job as copper over this.
But is it a vaxxed slab ™???
It’s an unvaxxed slab! The Bat Eared Mong’s not going to be happy!
Country Bunnings as opposed to Melbournistan Bunnings:
I go to hire compactor, I want the big one, but they reckon it keeps cutting out. I said I’ll take it because I know what’s wrong with it, it has a low oil kill switch. I go and get my stuff and come back to the check out. The checkout bloke spots 250ml of 4 stroke oil, is that for the compactor, yep. No problem, I won’t charge you for it. Turns out that was exactly the problem with it, oil level off end of dip stick.
Returned a now running compactor and a half empty bottle of oil to the hire section.
The best war movie ever was the Dirty Dozen. Prove me wrong.
Btw – Edge of Darkness theme was done by Eric Clapton, on a strat. Six episodes of awesome.
just how deep did you dig the footings?
Can’t beat Patton.
Not in a million years.
Dirty Dozen is good but.
A “Project Veritas” type scenario won’t be far away for Vic Pol.
It’s possibly already in the making.
Bunnings is great. Squadrons of clueless nubile chicks in boots and shorts. What’s not to love?
Dr. Lacy Hunt, an expert on monetary policy and econometrics, is warning that over indebtedness is the biggest risk to the economy which will lead to disinflation and possibly deflation.
Ok, Bruce, I’ll settle for a draw
The most terrifying war cry in human history, peoples … 🙁

Bluddee hell, that’s dying and going to heaven stuff. Are most of them brunettes?
It only takes a couple of “brave souls” to end the Victorian madness.
My feeling is that someone in the Premiers office will “spill their guts”. Dan is a deadman walking, surrounded by vultures.
Dan won’t be Premier at Christmas time. It’s over.
Rabz,
I love Yard Act – The Overload
it isnt just the music, the visuals and the phrasing.
It’s all of that and the poetry …
In my youtube stalk-list that our friends at Meta think sums me up, the next vid was by Colter Wall — Cowpoke
it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I think it’s brilliant raw talent.

Probably had some kind of clotting for some time prior to birth in the lungs/ pulmonary circulation. I guess it’s not so much of a problem until the baby has to breathe for itself.
Easy. “The Odd Angry Shot.”
