Just on American Military Commanders of WW2, one General Rufus Wainwright instructed the US Army in The Philippines to surrendfer, claiming the Order came from McArthur.
It was a lie, yet instead of being hanged for Treason, Truman presented him with the Medal Of Honor in 1946.
The most hated General of WW2 was Mark Clark, a total fuckwit whose incompetence got thousands of men killed after the invasion of Italy.
Australia probably had a few of those too.
You’d think so…
Thanks for keeping this alive, bundy baba.
Asking for complete links and all. Really great comedy value.
Grogs, if you want to be taken seriously on this blog, can I suggest that you learn the difference between Jonathan Wainwright, General in the United States Army, and Rufus Wainwright, singer and musician?
The vast majority of the incompetents got weeded out by a system under Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, that reset Staff Officers to a level at which their competence permitted.
And trying to compare mid-1943 US Commanders at Army Level and up to their Divisional and Corps equivalents who had started building experience in Libya and Tunisia is foolish, Gypsum-Snorter. Even more so trying to compare them to mid- and late 1944 to 45 ones.
Consider also James Gavin, who chose to listen to ‘Boy’ Browning and fail to keep foremost in mind his primary responsibility to take the bridge at Nijmegen, and allowed his subordinates to dither on securing the Grosbeek Heights. The result meant the loss of early control ofnthe bridge to II SS. Pz Corps and several days of vicious house-to-house fighting. Market Garden failed right there.

And let us also consider that Mark Clark went on from his early tactical and strategic blunders in Italy, to successfully hold back the North Korean onslaught (inheriting the remnants of a catastophic mess from Gen. Matthew Ridgeway), turn it clean around and then batter the Chinese to a standstill at the 48th Parallel, as Supreme Commander of the United Nations Command.

Covid-19 Injections – A Gateway to Transhumanism By Dr. Carrie Madej Oct. 23, 2021
I’ve been giving some thought to often mentioned idea of lizard people, and I’ve come to the conclusion that this concept is a way for normal people to try to deal with the reality that human beings can be so totally inhumane. Such evil is not easy to grasp.
And weary UK veterans of Anzio, Monte Cassino and the long drive to Rome, were apparently most impolite at being told by Lady Astor that they were ‘dodging’ far more important goings-on in France.

Being serious for a moment, that is where this is a total c..t’s act.
Bosi thought he was playing mind games, making vague references to Big Things in Six Days.
Without actually doing anything (or intending to) he can make the magistrate (and his family) feel uncomfortable.
Maybe the magistrate will over-react and issue a warrant for contempt.
The great military strategist has made a rookie mistake. He thought his opponent was either a shrinking violet who would wilt under his withering burst, or blow his stack and make a martyr of Bosi.
What he didn’t count on was a quick “Fuck off, idiot …. CLICK”.
Hadley just made the whole thing up.
This Oculus movie is a belter.
I’ve almost Joe Biden’d my pants a few times.
The ironing of the whole thing is that, up until today, Carrinbush had a salary cap problem.
If he had done his drinkin’ and stoushin’ a month ago, they could have fired him and spent a little less than his bloated salary during trade week and maybe picked up someone who wasn’t … you know … a fuckwit.
Either that or it was a deliberate ploy to flush out a leaker (Keen?).

You’ve been played Ray.
I reckon De Goey’s teammates knew this, or something like this had to be on the cards.
They came out with ‘not the first time’, ‘he’s gotta pay’ and so on.

Don’t get too excited. It was Hazzard, Dominic Bells Palsy Passport and their masters causing trouble. No doubt there’s a big Gladys and “kill all the unvaccinated!” Chant faction left over still with plenty of power who hate Perrotet’s guts. When Perrotet didn’t fire Hazzard it was a giveaway, bad mojo.
His strategy seems to be to try and say vaccination is going so well NSW can lift the home detention of normal people ‘early’. Instead of just, say, just ordering that they be let free because as NSW Premier he says it will be so. Which smells like he doesn’t have real control and stuff like this shows there’s a faction in the NSW Liberals who really love this covid power stuff.
This was one they actually won. Merci beaucoup Charles Martel.
Now you got me thinking…

You’re almost certainly right.
But if he really is angling to restore freedom, even if he’s having to dissemble to do it, that’s a way better situation than we’re suffering under Maximum Leader south of the Murray.

Logan-Riley, who introduced themselves on stage in Glasgow in te reo M?ori, has told G-20 leaders, in no uncertain terms, that it is imperative that they listen to young indigenous peoples and support their fight for a better future.

It’s madness for half our firefighters to be female
Bettina Arndt / The Spectator
We are currently witnessing a ludicrous campaign aiming for fifty per cent female firefighters. Prominent male bosses have taken this on as a personal crusade, like Greg Mullins the former Commissioner of Fire and Rescue NSW, who spent his last years in the job pushing this agenda.
In 2018, he introduced gender quotas where applicants were split into male and female streams and an equal number of the highest scoring men and women were chosen. That meant that a male applicant who ranked in the fifty first percentile of his gender stream missed out on a job even if he got a better score on his tests than a female. Anyone who objected was told to look for another job.
I’ve had many firefighters writing to me about this issue, ever since I attracted a huge feminist pile-on two years ago for a tweet about our brave firefighters, pointing out that it is mainly men who are risking their lives to save others and giving thanks for the good in men.
It led to a funny skirmish when one of our prominent feminists claimed the photo I used in that tweet showed a female firefighter – but she turned out to be wrong as I show in this television interview. Naturally our media responded by madly promoting female firefighters, showing photos of the small numbers of women actually involved in fighting the dreadful bushfires Australia was then experiencing.
The fracas attracted people across the country who contacted me about what’s happening in our firefighting services. Many are concerned about the new gender quotas, alarmed to see this vital service highjacked to promote a feminist agenda.
Alongside the actual quotas there’s a systematic whitewashing of the real facts about women’s roles in firefighting, misrepresenting their capabilities, denying the problems with smaller, weaker people struggling with very difficult physical tasks. Many women are being treated as star recruits, given an easy ride to get into the service, leapfrogging over able, hard-working men to achieve promotion and win awards – all to showcase that our fire services are embracing diversity.
Firefighting is seen as one of the last bastions of masculinity, a boy’s club which showcases men’s toughness, courage and strength. Naturally feminists have been determined to prove this wrong, getting women into the job to show there’s nothing women can’t do.
Now clearly there’s no problem with women becoming firefighters, provided they can actually do the work. Brenda Berkman was New York’s first female firefighter. A former lawyer she failed the fitness test when she first applied but orchestrated an anti-discrimination case claiming the tough test was deliberately designed to exclude women. She won, got into the service and faced an appallingly tough time, including death threats. But she did well, working for decades as a firefighter and ended up promoted. Good for her.
Strong, tough women like Brenda have every right to do this difficult job. But what bothered me was reading this article where Berkman was interviewed about the September 11 disaster. She complains bitterly that the press coverage of the heroic firemen who died trying to rescue people from the twin towers talked only about “firemen”, saying she had heard from female fighters everywhere complaining about the media omitting women firefighters from the story. Yet, in fact all the firefighters who died at the Twin Towers were firemen – 343 brave men. There were only 25 female fighters in the NY fire department at that time compared to 1,100 men.
It is nonsense for Berkman to claim that women’s important role in this disaster was being misrepresented. It is still mainly men doing the really tough jobs in the fire service as in most other careers which are dangerous and physically difficult. Here we have a job which everyone knows sometimes requires real bodily strength and endurance and now we have to pretend that’s not so.
I’m reminded of Douglas Murray in his recent book The Madness of Crowds where he says we are being asked to be believe in things we know can’t possibly be true and not to believe in things we have always known to be true.
The new female spin
Just look at the way firefighting is now being presented. Here’s Bronnie MacIntosh, one of the new female stars of the NSW fire service, giving a Ted Talk on why they need female firefighters. She proudly describes people being rescued because the smaller female firefighters were able to squeeze through car windows and roof cavities to reach them.
What I found particularly offensive was MacIntosh boasting that as a woman it was appropriate for her to hug the father of an injured teenage girl to reassure him that his daughter would be ok. No mention, of course, of the fact that it is deemed inappropriate for men to play that caregiving role anymore because feminists have succeeded in convincing us that men are potential predators.
This firefighting superstar also describes, with much hilarity from the audience, the story of a female firefighter holding a man’s penis as colleagues surgically remove multiple stainless steel rings from his appendage. Can you imagine the reaction if a male firefighter was to make fun of a woman who got herself in trouble by sticking something inappropriate in her vagina? Women do that sort of thing but we aren’t allowed to talk about it.
Macintosh claimed that women’s skills are needed because the job is now more diverse, with only 7 per cent of calls involving responding to fires or emergencies. That was true in the year she gave that talk, with the Fire and Rescue NSW figures from 2018-19 showing 293,468 of the 420,925 activities in the services devoted to prevention and school visits.
Funnily enough the very next year was a different story. NSW saw one of the worst bushfire seasons on record and received 190,000 emergency fire calls. This was followed by massive floods in the Northern Rivers where, in a single day, they dealt with 5,000 incidents. That’s what the service is really all about – dealing with emergencies and there’s no telling when they will happen.
But the spin is constant. Here is the Sydney Morning Herald arguing that although male firefighters have more strength, women have more endurance. Sure, that’s why in professional tennis male players play five sets and women only three?
Many women struggle with the job
As many firemen have explained to me, quite a few female firefighters are really struggling. Take a minute to look at this short, funny video showing a female firefighter competing in a competition and unable to knock down a door.
One retired fireman, who was in the service for 25 years, wrote to me about working well with female firefighters in the past – who gained entry through the normal testing process. But when the new 50/50 quota system was introduced the physical aptitude test was changed. He pointed out it no longer includes a ladder lift (this apparently was the task that stopped a large percentage of females from getting through in the past). The ladder is 11 metres long and heavy but a vital piece of equipment.
He also described the hose – “a roll of hose can weigh up to 10 kilos and firefighters may be required to carry more than one roll and when charged with water the weight, difficulty and manageability increases exponentially”. Then there’s the task of joining the hose together, which he says requires considerable grip strength. He mentioned a Sydney fire station which sent out an official memo advising the crew that the only female fire-fighter at the station would not be required to connect hose.
Add to these difficulties the incredibly heavy protective gear firefighters wear which can weigh more than 40 kilos. It’s acknowledged in some firefighting literature that retention rates are poor for female recruits, with a survey of volunteer firefighters showing reasons for dropping out including equipment being too heavy, equipment stowed too high on trucks, and problems with their protective gear. There’s also evidence that female firefighters experience higher rates of injury than male firefighters. Male firefighters regularly cover for female colleagues who can’t manage all the job.
A smooth ride to the top
Interestingly, women in the fire service are doing incredibly well. The latest 2018-19 Champions of Change report on women’s progress in firefighting notes that the key national management body, the National Council for Fire and Emergency Services, is now 65% women. Overall, only about five per cent of Australian professional firefighters are women, and about 14% of volunteer firefighters, but this report shows 29% of key management are female.
Women are being systematically encouraged into the service and pushed up the ladder. The report found all promotions for Bushfires Northern Territory that year went to women. 100% of graduate hires by Tasmania Fire Service and South Australian State and Emergency Services were women. And so it goes on….
It’s pleasing to note there have been objections to what’s happening here from female firefighters. Many of these women are concerned about all these efforts to bend the rules to admit more women, knowing that will detract from their own achievements. In Victoria, female union members tried unsuccessfully to take legal action to try to stop quotas.
I’ve made a video about firefighter gender quotas where you will see Rachel Cowling, a Victorian firefighter whose father was a fireman, talking about why she took a stand against quotas. Please help me circulate this YouTube video.
It just shows. Sensible men and women know that gender quotas undermine the legitimacy of competent women who work hard and do the job well, and create resentment and discontent in the services.
But, none of this matters to male bosses busily selling out the troops to pander to the feminist mob and their lackeys in the media.

‘Calling a successful opponent ‘stupid’ may be personally gratifying, but it not only denies reality, it avoids dealing with the problem at hand.
I’m not claiming that Dickhead is a Rhodes Scholar, but he is undoubtedly a very successful politician. Cunning as a shithouse rat is the comparison that comes to mind, and shithouse rats should never be underestimated.
The problem, as others have said, is that there is no other rat from any environment who has the skills and the inclination to take him on. Victoria reminds me of the ultra-blue States in the US – no matter how awful the Democrat governments are, they keep getting elected. It takes a shatterer of icons like Trump to break through and begin the process of change. Kennett was a bit like that in his heyday.
As I have said before, Victoria has a very different political tradition to NSW, which is much more pragmatic and business oriented, and even a tad libertarian.
I can’t see a lot of change for Victorians in the forseeable, unfortunately.’

They lived in a society which was willing to sacrifice young lives in the cause of freedom. It was the right thing to do and these young men did not let them down. Compare the character of those men and that society to the contemporary world. Men with no chests led by morons, cowering before the most minor threat and willing to give up freedom for ‘safety’.
Western civilisation has degenerated into a weak, pathetic, immoral shell of its former glory.

So the Dapto Dog Caller was blowing smoke up everyone’s arse again?
Classic stunt from the taxi driver.
I suspect that what happened was Health Hazzard and Cherry Kant making a last bid for relevance, by trying to set a narrative against Dom Perrotet ’96. The DDC was just the tool (in more ways than one) that they used.
There is a video floating about of Greta Thunberg and a guy in overalls dancing /singing that Rick Astley number to an adoring audience.
Saving the planet requires all sorts of sacrifices.
LOL, calli.
Glorious.
Min:
Yes but that’s enough of Pelosi…
(So predictable…)
On the other hand both the ‘senior minister’ and Hadley got confused and thought ‘opening up at 95%’ meant pushing the date back, not bringing it forward.
Tim Dillon put out a spoof of the Southwest pilot’s Lets Go Brandon gag.
Iowa Hawk has retweeted something that has NBC/MSNBC logo’s on it.
Does this mean NBC/MSNBC got suckered & aired a spoof?
Excellent blow-up storm, just passed through. Plenty of snap and crackle. Half an inch of wet stuff in 25 minutes.
Only a little one, but very promising.
If the Queen can’t stay on the throne until she’s 120, republic now, please.
Does that mean Peter Fitzsimian for President?
From Dash Cat. Two and a half minutes of absolute truth –
This speech by Christine Anderson, a German politician and a Member of the European Parliament, was given at a press conference supporting the rights of workers against the mandatory Digital Certificate.

We will rebuild.
Back better.
BJ at 7:43.
The ingredients are all there.
A power hungry Elf Bureacracy fighting a rear-guard action to wrest back control.
An Elf Minister who quite likes the limelight and doesn’t want to go back to the drudgery of approving the cheapest bedpan supplier and squabbling with the nurses unions.
An egotistical but dim dog caller who likes to hold court every morning.
Apart from Great House to run a place today, I have no idea.
I just can’t see the bookies getting their pants pulled down over Incentivise.
They had a win with Zaaki getting scratched from the Cox Plate, but bookies are greedy.
They want it all.
Good point. For some reason, people who have never had to rinse their own toothbrush are now telling everybody to ‘lower their expectations.
Dragger at 7.49am, the Wet’s late if it hasn’t arrived by January, but 1.5 months before Christmas is officially early. You’re just a storm junkie.
The Stone Age.
The Bronze Age.
The Iron Age.

“Western civilisation has degenerated into a weak, pathetic, immoral shell of its former glory.”
Correct….and what has caused this degeneration? The collapse of religion, the sexual revolution, economic affluence, feminism and socialism.
We need to be reactionaries and we need to be proud of it.
Well, yes Tom. However, it’s been fucking putrid up here for the past month and October was 150mm down on last year. It’s just nice not to be sitting in a pool of nut sweat at 6.30 a.m.
Thanx JC. Thought as much.
Bit dusty this morning. Just comerorated a relative, apparently a plain clothes type who was pivitol in bringing down an absolute grub of a criminal. None of us could get into Queensland.
It’s just nice not to be sitting in a pool of nut sweat at 6.30 a.m.
Buttigieg’s wet dream.
(scurries away).
Yesterday on a work zoom call, one of my managers, your atypical progressive hypocrite who earns buckets of money, was talking about a matter we’re involved with in Kentucky USA. This manager then numerous disparaging remark about how Kentucky is “Trump” country and if if you went to Kentucky you’d no doubt see people wearing “MAGA” hats. Many on the call laughed, chortled and sniggered out loud (I didn’t and some others didn’t). After the call I looked up Kentucky and saw that Kentucky has a Democrat governor and that there are more registered Democrats in Kentucky than Republicans.
I wonder too if there isn’t a physiological influence as well – chemical cocktails including microplastics in the environment for instance. While the usual suspects wring their hands about temperature, my chief bugbear is garbage and waste.
We seem to be in a perfect storm of physical and spiritual (or, if you like, moral) degradation, without the will to tackle it in the simplest of ways. That is, starting in the home. Our telescopic philanthropy has us viewing far away causes while ignoring our toddler of a country teetering on the precipice.
And speaking of “starting in the home”, time to wage war on weeds before the Yellow Face gets much higher and shrivels usss up, precioussss.
The Melbourne Cup should be called the Northern Dancer Cup.
I must disagree with the ‘for the first time ever, we are going down the plughole’ crowd here.
Because da meedja, or plastics, or something.
FGS, has anyone here ever read any history?
My best bets for today.
No Standing.
Sovereign Being.
Timely Repentance (each way bet).
You’re betting on a one conveyance race sancho.
That’s why Timely Repentance is an each-way bet.
I’d rather a punching bag/French sex doll for President than a tampon for King.
It’s like giant douche v turd sandwich all over again…
*We want Anne…we want Louis Mount Battenberg, we want lil George…*
“Elect or a appoint a President – why you might get some self important idiot…”
Anyway, I have fairly out there ideas like ostracism (and outlawry as a corollary for breaking the first rule) for piss poor public performance; the Greek model for democracy and republicanism had hard edges, like imbibing hemlock.
Fuck Ray Hadley!
Let’s go, Alan!
Calli – I don’t think so. Rather it’s because the whole world is now so interconnected that a cult can spread everywhere so fast that there’s no chance for it to be avoided. Once it takes hold the need for humans to belong, and the fear of being excluded, means that everyone must adhere to it. There then is no escape.
Previous examples are obvious, but tended to be limited to geographical areas, like Europe in the 1930s. Other places had time to build mental defenses. Now that isn’t possible.
The COP and Covid and woke have become necessary for people to believe. That they are basically erroneous doesn’t prevent that necessity.
That the education system reinforces this so strongly, by indoctrinating every single child, makes it even harder for the newest generations to mentally escape. It’s as crazy as the Xhosa when they killed all their cattle on say so of a teenage prophetess. Whereupon they starved. We again have a teenage prophetess, and the movement she represents is also crazy and Malthusian.
It is quite biblical though: Rom 1:21-22ff, 2 Thess 2:11-12.
Arrived back in Melbourne (sighs) and visiting me ma in NE Victoria. Up North It is so green at the moment it looks so out of place. Dams are full, grass is 5’ high in most areas, hay being cut. Gardens look fantastic with flowers in full bloom. It really is a great time of the year to visit. …and yes most of the population has hay fever which at some point they all suspect is COVID.
It seems that Dom may have beaten you to it.
Never jump aboard the Hadley train without checking.
I’m sick of the climate change cult.
I’m giving this cult the miss and waiting for the next one. Fingers xed it includes positive views towards alcohol.
Earlier in this thread, last night I think, Ed Case(Grigs, sock puppet, whatever), was bemoaning the loss of the Mutton Industry. Australia has a thriving Mutton Industry. Almost 100% is sent to India and Pakistan, with smaller shipments sent to various countries in the Middle East. The Indians can’t get enough of our Mutton.
The old breeder ewes are not given a ceremony and headstone when their usefulness is over. Also, every can of cat or dog food that states it contains “lamb”, on the label, is made with Mutton. I actually like Mutton myself, but then I like game meat and don’t try to hide the “gamey” flavour when I cook it.
My picks for the big event:
1. Prince of the Realm.
2. Act of Settlement.
3. Judicial Collusion.
Waste? There is nothing more ‘wasteful’ than Nature, which throws out a zillion human sperm cells which never amount to anything. Which throws millions of pollens in the hope that a few of them might meet a recipient. Which booms and busts animal cycles.
Almost all activity on the planet is what somebody describes as ‘waste.’ Apparently, we should feel guilty about it, I, for one, don’t.
Been blasting out The Supremes this morning. You know, those symbols of why black artists were oppressed:
You can’t hurry love!
It seems my comments about the French went too far.I got a bit jingoistic defending our lovely rock ribbed conservative PM, the Hon. Mr Scott Morrison.
A righteous ALP government would never be biased against France and solely buy American, German, Swedish & Austrian tech.
I adore our French made F/A-18s, Leopard II /Abrams tanks, Steyr rifles and Kockums submarines & Karl Gustav recoilless rifles.
If Trump appeared to fall asleep at a gig or allegedly shat his pants while meeting fake-pope imagine how much coverage it would be given.
And of course if you don’t believe you are cast out, incarcerated, burned at stake. As has happened over and over in history. Fear is a great way of keeping a cult going.
Archbishop apologises for comparing climate change to Holocaust (1 Nov)
You can see why people might be scared to disbelieve the cult. Nuremberg trials and hangman’s nooses are quite threatening.
Well you know in 1975 Trump asked Candace Bergen out on a date and she said no?
LOL what a loser!
I love the footage of Don Lemon being harassed in….Florida.
Considering how much time Lemon has spent abusing & telling lies about Florida, I’m shocked he decided to spend the weekend there.
Also amazing the carbon footprint for him to have a quick out of state getaway.
Such hypocrites.
Nature consists of organisms looking around their environment and saying “what can I eat?” so as to utilise that environment to the max for reproduction and the hell with any consequences such as waste products. Followed by “what is trying to eat me?” and “how can I stop it by any means including killing it?”.
Humans are the only organisms to care about the environment and then only when they are fed, clothed and sheltered to a fairly high level.
After all look what happened when an organism arose that produced oxygen as a waste product. Enormous die off so that anaerobic organisms only exist now in a few niches, probably living in fear of that poisonous gas, oxygen.
From the Oz re Mr Gordon G Toey.
Sports Law?
Sorry buddy, there is no such thing as a separate stream of law relating to sport.
It has no standing.
Refer Vicar of Rugby v Folau.
To young men (or women Loretta) the science is in on Greta. She scored very low on hotness and v high on the crazy axis. Rated a No Go based on the Universal hot-crazy matrix.
Government and government largesse are the only things that are consistently or evolutionarily wasteful.
“We again have a teenage prophetess, and the movement she represents is also crazy and Malthusian.”
Correct…..I watched Sky News last night and saw the screaming crowds of young people thronging around Greta when she arrived in Glasgow.
When I watch Greta I’m reminded of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. This climate change cult is very medieval.
Always been a concern of mine and that was before it was a thing. Pre-packaging, where the cost of the package and the amount of space it takes up is more than the item. Old mate used to import stuff from the US by air container. Fixed cost for the container. It was 5% full by volume and weight the rest airspace around the minimal packaging. He imported anything free of freight charges for his customers.
A bit of each way money on Explosive Jack with Johnny Allen on board wouldn’t hurt.
Allen is in a purple patch and covers the Irish connection of recent years. The horse is capable at 2400 but hasn’t shown much since winning the Australian & SA Derby in May. Rested and could return to form.
If there’s bustling going on up the straight, Allen usually comes out best.
Don’t bother following him after Cup day, he’s suspended.
The Donald plays a minor role in American Psycho. The book is a bit challenging and not recommended for nannas.
Who will be the Tommen who jumps out the window? One of the best scenes in Game of Thrones.
Farmer Gez – I’m putting $10 each way on Phar Lap. It looked good on the News last night.
Another obvious sign of the degeneration of our society is the length of time it takes to do anything.
Submarines for example. In the 50s the Brits made a deal with the US to produce nuclear submarines (a new technology) for the RN. Four years later the first boat was launched and another three years after that, HMS Dreadnaught was commissioned.
Compare that with the Aus-Frog debacle. Five years after the initial announcement of the project, the deal was ended while still in the planning stage. They hadn’t even started building the first one which wasn’t due for another decade or so in the future. This for a boat with the same propulsion system as the AE1 and AE2 – diesel electric.
Why? I believe part of the problem is technology. Modern data and communication systems need complicated security systems to be installed into buildings and infrastructure. Far from making the process easier and quicker, modern technology introduces unnecessary complexity and is time consuming.
But that isn’t the only reason for the exorbitant amount of time it takes to get anything done. Bureaucratic and legal procedures take far too much time than is required. Five years after the start of the Brereton enquiry, not one digger has been charged. Compare with war crime tribunals after the end of WW2. The top Nazis were investigated, tried and executed within a year. (Of course they were actual criminals, unlike the accused in the Brereton disgrace). Another example: The Lindt Cafe inquest took almost two and half years!
I don’t know where I’m actually going with all this but I reckon that unless we get out of this torpor, our civilisation and country is going down big time. We put more energy into fantasy (climate change) and triviality (gender rubbish) and faff about doing important things like building weapons.
Thus endeth the rant.
nsw health reports in
Groogs, the Mutton King.
“Another example: The Lindt Cafe inquest took almost two and half years!”
Yep, although I think this torpor is an Australian problem…..the Brits manage to conduct trials and inquests within months of the events taking place.
LOL, Victoriastan Lieboral crashes into a house. At least he was pissed at the time.
That doesn’t explain joining the Lieborals.
Bought a Northern Dancer line bred mare once.
Breeder thought she couldn’t handle her feed.
“Home” bred & reared i.e. spoiled pet, she just couldn’t handle racing stable living.
We fixed that.
Larry Pickering trained her for us.
She ‘went through a fence’.
Her injury meant she couldn’t race.
He tried to buy her from us, to breed from.
It’s all the rest of the story I can’t share that’s particularly interesting, but yeah, Northern Dancer, Nearco, as with people in The Bible, there are blessed family lines in animals to and sometimes, when long ago split families re-join, double blessings happen.
I watched Sky News last night and saw the screaming crowds of young people thronging around Greta when she arrived in Glasgow.
There was a survey done some years back of teenagers, about what they wanted to be in later life. Lotsa loaded words such as “generous” and “educated” and so on.
A majority of them wanted to be “rich” and “famous”.
Government is the problem, a coder can make their own blockchain in minutes and a currency in months.
A few members of the Ulster Constabulary might take issue with this.
…government in the context of a lazy, entitled society that idolises graft but yet demonises successful people who work hard, take risks or who solve problems.
Chairman Dan is a winner on Cup day.
Victoria has passed NSW in total cases for the Winter/Spring outbreaks.
He’s had unbeaten form over the distance.
Geez, didn’t that go well for Our Shayna and Bomber. Both walked out of that unscathed, thanks to sports lawyers.
“A few members of the Ulster Constabulary might take issue with this.”
Yes, but that’s political.
