Ok, Rabz, here you go. I heard this one in Coles on Friday. First time in a long time.
Your challenge is this: close your eyes, click the link and listen to the whole track.
Then, before opening your eyes again, work out who the singer is.

She can sing rather wonderfully, when she puts her mind to it.
Carpe yes I have seen it not just in Thailand or from whiteys, for the record I have nothing against the modern Japanese. IMO they have atoned for the sins of their great grandparents.
However their history in the 1930 & 1940’s is far from stellar like the Germans who engaged in similar behaviour on the Russian Front.
Best Man did a trial run of his new baked ham recipe today. Had it de-skinned, clove-studded and in the oven at 9.15 am. First baste 20 mins later.
Neighbour arrived at 9.50 with a minor repair job for him and remarked, “Lunch smells nice.”Job done, she left, to return at 11.oo am, ten minutes after ham was removed from the oven. “Hmm! that looks fabulous.” Best man sliced a plateful of ham and sent her on her happy way.
He then cut another plateful to take to Darling Daughter and her ravenous tribe. She thanked him, then thanked him again an hour ago before pouring out a garbled story about how wonderful the ham was, and she’d be grateful for another plateful because kiddies sleepover after school performances, or something.
Best Man has promised two more trial runs before the main event. Yum!
Was probably promoted beyond his pay grade the moment he left the Front Bar of a country pub.

Not good being captured by the Japanese in WWII:
A steady invasion would also have meant the end of all of these Prisoners Of War in a systematic series of executions. Already, 35% of POWs were dying – a grim figure compared to those captured by the Germans during the war, with 0.9% there losing their lives. One analysis states: “Of the 140,000 Americans held by the Japanese, 34 percent – 47,000 – would die in captivity.” Of 22,376 Australian prisoners of war captured by the Japanese, 8,031 died – 36% of those held.
They should be ashamed to use that track name. 🙁
Kate Bush – The Kick Inside (1978)
Don’t have the reference handy, but certain Japanese historians estimate that, had World War Two lasted another six to nine months, anywhere up to ten million Japanese would have died from starvation or disease.

Your comment about the effect reading about the Japanese treatment of Australian PoWs reminded me of another comment on a related subject.
One of the Japanese failures at Pearl Harbor was missing the US carriers. One of the carrier task groups was commanded by Bull Halsey. He returned to Pearl soon after the raid, at a time when the wrecks on Battleship Row were still smoldering. Contemplating the damage from his bridge, he said (very firmly, I suspect) that “When this war is over, the Japanese language will be spoken only in Hell”.
He did his best, though he did miss an opportunity in late 1944 to add to the total.
I did, putting up with some people is more than my stomach could stand. Not sorry in the slightest.
Dan the Man will have a trouser tent at work tomorrow.
Yes!, another opportunity to fuck them!
My offer was rejected.
The “Where is, repeat where is Task Force 34? The world wonders?” matter?
Top Ender
Of 22,376 Australian prisoners of war captured by the Japanese, 8,031 died – 36% of those held.
A significant percentage of those were killed when US submarines sank prison transports that the Japanese had not marked, notably the Montevideo Maru and the Rakuyo Maru.
Madge must have got onto a good line if foetal plasma lately, for the infusions.
Heston Russell just told Chris Smith that he is gay. Blow me down with a feather.

Yes, though in the longer run it probably made little difference, as many of the ships involved, particularly Yamato, were sunk later. In Yamato’s case with very heavy loss of life.
As well as the Junyo Maru, sunk by a HMAS Tradewind off of Sumatra.
Not kneeling any time soon, peoples … 🙂
We can probably all agree that the Grim Reaper generally takes the elderly and comorbid Covid sufferers and leaves the under-60’s largely unmolested.
In the UK, the 60+ cohort is 93-96% vaccinated, which obviously means the unvaccinated make up 4-7% of the significantly ‘at risk’.
And yet they score about 19% of the Covid deaths.
With the Wupox currently running at 1 million active cases in the UK, this seems a fairly reasonable reason for the elderly Brits to get/keep jabbed.
But, hey, I’m not a trusted blogger…
Correction, that should read HMSM Tradewind.

That was my own experience. Some bridges need to be burned for our own sanity. That those left behind on the other side might be family just reinforces the fact that every arsehole is somebody’s family.
English Rose #1 for me, Rabz, even if she had a strange concept of Slavic grandmothers.
Needs to be done in moderation. Too easy to look up and find there is no one left. Applies to friends also. Like everything, finding a balance is the key.
Does anyone know someone with the first name of Heston who isn’t gay?
Because, as the report states, it is expected that a large proportion of cases, hospitalisations and deaths would occur in vaccinated individuals, simply because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated than unvaccinated and no vaccine is 100% effective.
You idiots. Vaccination is meant to reduce deaths not to maintain proportionality.
Here is another excuse from the UK Health Security Agency: vaccination has been prioritised in individuals who are more susceptible or more at risk of severe disease. Individuals in risk groups may also be more at risk of hospitalisation or death due to non-COVID-19 causes,
Lies, dammed lies, and Covid statistics.

except in SA where they are, of course banned (hint – govt needs to keep control of the testing process)
thank god we have politicians to keep us informed
Rockdoctor:
The Germans have owned up to their national crimes, made abject apologies, educated their children about their bestial activities, and paid compensation to the surviving victims.
Japan has airbrushed their behavior out of the histories, refuse to make apologies that are acceptable to their victims, do not educate their children of their actions, and refuse to even admit to the existence of Comfort Women, nor have they paid compensation to these poor girls – many of whom were shunned by their own societies.
To Hell with the Japanese.

LOL, sloppy gear shift hanging in 1st on occasion was a pain as well with the 3 on the tree. Angry beeps on Melbourne roads when you jumped out to re-centre the gear linkage in the steering column at the firewall all round. Older guys tended to just laugh at you, probably borne of bitter experience.
My stromy had an oversize power bypass jet, overtaking was good but I reckon I could see the fuel gauge move every time I executed it as well.

Benjamin Louis Cardin (born October 5, 1943) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Maryland, a seat he has held since 2007. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously was the U.S. Representative for Maryland’s 3rd congressional district from 1987 to 2007. Cardin served as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1967 to 1987 and as Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1979 to 1987, the youngest person to hold the position in history. In his half-century career as an elected official, he has never lost an election.

He joins Dave Pellowe to discuss the proposed legislation and what merits it has, if any.

Rabz, earlier and apropos of the fambalam:
If this is indeed the case – and not telling you what to do – it would then be time to burn those bridges, set fire to anything remaining above the waterline, and mine the approaches. Family can be pricks – even more so than the average punter, and sometimes because they either think or know they’ve got a free run due to ‘family’.
I get along really well with 75% of my family, who I regard as my mother, brother, sister and son. The outlier is the sister, a pompous insecure nursey who is one of those quintessential ‘health professionals’ that everyone’s rightly moaned about for the past couple of years.
Even then we get along all right until she opens her trap. She baits me. I shut her down. She fucks off. The End. Apparently she’s gotten fat too, which is more ammo for me should I need it.
95% of my cousins are dickheads I wouldn’t give the time of day to, and I have some very elderly aunts that wouldn’t recognise me now anyway. That’s it.
For me personally, I take zero notice of the ‘but family’ card. If people want to be dickheads, they can do it on their own. You make your own way, I reckon. Screw those guys (and girls).
In any event, there’s a precedent – half the royal families of Europe were related in one way or other over the last thousand years or more, and all they did was punch on with each other.
Darkest Hour (2017), about Churchill’s self-doubts leading up to Dunkirk (1940), is the best historical movie I have seen for a decade. Even the lefty fact checkers like it. It was on 9 Gem this evening.
Watched the end of Darkest Hour, with Churchill giving his “Fight them on the beaches” speech. We have need of his kind, and what do we have? Scotty from Marketing!
Vicki I agree, I just got surprised by the revelation.
Could you imagine the likes of Churchill dealing the Greens?

Matrix, LOL forgot the steering box issues I had towards the end. Driving down Heathcote rd in Liverpool on one of Sydney’s narrow roads made me realise she was shot. The old game kids do when pretending to drive by moving an imaginary steering wheel left and right comes to mind when I was keeping it centre of the lane.
Yes, Jupes, as the American fact checkers concede, they just made up Churchill’s London Underground ride on his way to address parliament, where he delivered his “never surrrender” speech. But they liked it anyway it anyway because it so accurately described Churchill’a concurrence with the common Poms that surrendering to Hitler would have been abhorrent — the option tha appeasers in his cabinet like Chamberlain wanted.

If you were of the “working class” you’d know that this is business as usual.

There are no victims of male instinctive racism; in fact, criminally, the word racism never arises;
