Now, to be clear, Zeppelin’s are the way of the future, trains and trucks will eventually have to take the back seat, where they belong.

I’ve realised my wife is subversive.
As a teacher she’s surrounded by the Dan Fans and gets the Covid missives all the time. Each time she drops a little truth bomb into the discussion and leaves the believers in a “yes well, that’s true.. but” situation.
She does it with a smile and is very popular with all the staff.
She was unknowingly interviewed by ASIO as a uni student and offered a job. They knew raw talent when they saw it.

Quillette Karen Claire Lehmann has a column in Teh Paywallian demonstrating what a true lightweight j’ismist she truly is
The unstated but obvious point is that every comment here is “best guess”. Official pronouncements based on the “science” are either best guess or ginned up hysteria intended to mislead and manipulate.
The simple fact is that NOBODY REALLY KNOWS. We are being used like sheep in a mass human experiment and, bearing in mind that the people in charge have zero concern for our welfare, I don’t have much hope that it will all end well. But, look on the bright side, either way they will make squillions of dollars from it.
That’s fine. Until she starts formenting anarchy in the kitchen.
The lingerie story reminded me of the horrors of trying on jeans at General Pants Co aeons ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Tiny cubicles with swinging bar doors – all they covered was neck to knee. They opened out onto the shop.
As usual, the clumsiest person on the planet (me) trying on ultra tight jeans, shimmying them up to knee height and whoops! out I staggered into the glare of spotlights and clothing racks.
The moral of the story – always do as Mum says and wear nice knickers. You never know when you’ll be run over by a bus…or something.

Terrified children have clung to their carers at a Sydney childcare centre after they narrowly missed being shot in a failed gangland hit.
It was said that when guns were banned only the crooks would have guns. OK, so they aren’t entirely banned, but in order to have rifles these days you have to jump through numerous hoops and go on a national register as well as have a storage safe for them. None of which would stop crooks from showing up at your place and demanding the guns.
Thanks John Howard. Instead of putting one nutcase before a firing squad the entire country had to pay for the idiot’s rampage.

Makes a good headline but reality is the childcare centre is next door .. quite a way from where the shots went but, obviously, the noise caused problems .. and as usual, bloody awfie shooting .. all survived .. LOL!
I wouldn’t recognise Sharma if I fell over him. Cassie would, of course.
My Aunt has taken poorly and has been taken a nursing home. I gather the outlook is none too rosey.
She and my mother are the last two from their generation and family. Both have clocked up more than 80 years (I think my mother is now 85, and she is the younger).
And, especially since it is a nursing home filled to the gunwales with the elderly, the frail and the invalid, they are retaining a strict Covid. For my mother, who has until now has decided against being vaccinated, it is now a matter of seeing her sister before the inevitable.
I assume my aunt is vaccinated, but with the perverse logic of Coof Vaxx, she can only be saved by vaccine swirling around in other people’s blood rather than that vaccine swirling in hers.
Two two doses for the vaccine takes weeks, so I will push to use a negative test as a basis for letting her visit and sidestep the mangled reason of the nursing home’s policy.
But yeah, she may be having to deal with a difficult choice that has no excuse for being foist upon her.
(I write this not to elicit sympathies or wishes – merely to illustrate the human impact of all this bureaucratic folly and political theatre.)

Unfortunately disown involves missing out on 4 of the younger of my 8 grandees tho I did reply, NO .. gotta catch up on my swimming after the 6 month lock out .. all my, council pool, OAP swimming “freebies” apply between Friday & Tuesday ……

My bad, mixed the similar names up … duuuuuuuh!
A friend found out her father was a spook after he died. She is trying to find out more but unsurprisingly not getting very far. Her Old Man was a lovely bloke and not very James Bond at all.
Of course, if you recognised Dave Sharma, you would make a point of running in to him.
Your ABC at work- OMG Anti-vax group target pub!!!
What actually happened was, emotionally 15-y-o pub manager stuck his neck out online, and now sticks his bottom lip out because someone- note no anti-vax group was identified- kicked against cowardice with “horrific” and “threatening”… type.
Covid stuff for the very elderly is an entirely different matter. For them it potentially IS a death sentence. I was zooming (literally) around Coles yesterday and there was a very frail old couple, both masked, doing their shopping. At one level it is easy to laugh at their understanding of virology but that is to miss the point entirely.
Some questions best remain unasked.
On a completely unrelated note, it’s amazing how many freak accidents

The latest in arrogant tin eared unelected unaccountable bureaucratic imbeciles who just can’t help lecturing the stupid proles – from the Oz:
Let’s “unpack” the idiocy. Who gives a rat’s arse about contract tracers having a “miserable summer”? I care more for example, about the poor saps who recently went to Queensland (seriously why?) who’ve now been condemned to a fortnight in isolation over the Christmas/New Year period than I do about those braindead bureaucratic lackeys. Go and get a real job, you stupid lickspittles.
The 25,000 cases a day was a figure plucked out of Health Hazzard’s house sized backside. Reminiscent of that hypocritical wrongologist idiot’s doomsday screechings in the UK at the beginning of the panicdemic and bearing about as much resemblance to reality.
I have no idea who the supposed “epidemiologist” is, nor could I care less. Just keep your fat gob shut and your worthless prognostications to yourself (and the poor long suffering idiots who have to put up you in their immediate vicinity on a daily basis) – people have had enough of this constant stupid infuriating anti-scientific fact and evidence free fearmongering bullshit.

But, you get the drift. Made lotsa money and kept it even during occupation, and even escaped with it to swanky Camberwell wherein the whole family became poor. Poor Magda suffered discrimination as a Catholic and a wog, leading to her lifelong hatred of discrimination and Catholicism.

She hates Catholicism? Then she has become those people that used to torment her.
As to discrimination, I suspect it is only victims approved by progressive canon that she frets about. And now that the evils of ‘body-shaming’ are recognised she will be glad that her insecurities can metamorphose into the butterfly of lefty conspicuous virtue.
I reckon that calls for a bucket of KFC and enough coke to turn the floor in a car mechanic’s garage as white as paper.
The ABC is very excited about NSW overtaking Vic in daily cases today.
Pity about the nine dead in Vic to none in NSW.
It’s the vibe not the pulse that counts.
NSW COVID-19 cases jump again with record 1,742 infections
NSW’s daily figure is also higher than Victoria’s for the first time in months.
Anybody who thinks the Contract Tracys will be on the job if daily cases reach 25,000 is kidding themselves.

“Poor Magda suffered discrimination as a Catholic and a wog, leading to her lifelong hatred of discrimination and Catholicism.”
I remember how during the SSM debate, Magda the Obese ranted and raved about how she was discriminated at Catholic school for being a…..lesbian…..which I always thought was a load of bollocks and let’s face it, Magda the Obese excels at bollocks. The truth is that Magda the Obese was probably picked on for being fat. But never let the truth get in the way of a good porky….particularly a porky which suits her ideological narratives.

My recollections (probably misremembering now) of Satre’s notion of consciousness is something like a ‘point’ universe without even desire for, or fear of things – these being things it encounters like light and objects. (A flawed idea, but kind of remarkable as well.)

For every old geezer taken 2.5 months earlier than they might have otherwise, there is at least one impatient, miserable old bastard fed up with life or in the last stages of dementia waiting in vain to be carried off to the warm embrace of the grave by the kindness of a seasonal influenza which these fucking morons have cancelled for the last two years at the same time as they treated these poor old people with complete cruelty and disdain, locking them away from loved ones, refusing them the dignity of proper funeral services and scaring the living shit out of them with 24/7 ridiculous propaganda.

I have long had a suspicion about that “contact tracing” and QR-ing.
I want to see the payslips. Only then will I believe “tracers” exist in numbers significant enough to be “miserable”.
As for the dopey QR stuff, it sometimes works and often doesn’t, particularly on “Check-out”. Also, what’s the point? If you sign in manually, no one knows what time you were there anyway.
Not having any direct experience, nevertheless my understanding is that it was uncommon for girls to recognise their sapphic proclivities for what they were back in the day. They certainly did not tell people about it. Some may have incautiously let it slip but it was more common for girls who were friends to be called lesbians by their enemies.
The rarity of something translates into improbability. The probability of Magda lying is vastly higher.
Now is different of course. They are encouraged to scream it out. To go stalking about the schoolyard looking for people they think have not appreciated it enough and demand feats of obeisance. The boy who declares that he wants his dick lopped off because he is a girl now can expect to be carried about the yard on the other kids’ shoulders. (If those kids know what is good for them.)

From 17 December 2021, unvaccinated people will be unable to:
1. Visit vulnerable settings, including hospitals, residential aged care, disability accommodation services, and prisons. This does not apply to residents and patients of these facilities, and there will be some exceptions for medical treatment, end-of-life visits, childbirth and emergency situations
2. Attend hospitality venues such as hotels, pubs, clubs, taverns, bars, restaurants or cafes
3. Attend indoor entertainment venues such as nightclubs, live music venues, karaoke bars, concerts, theatres or cinemas
4. Attend outdoor entertainment activities such as sporting stadiums, theme parks or tourism experience like reef excursions
attend festivals – either indoor or outdoor – such as musical festivals, folk festivals or arts festivals
5. Attend Queensland Government owned galleries, museums or libraries.
So guess where I will go tomorrow night? (Not a Karaoke Bar.)

Latho has outed Chant as the leaker trying to sabotage the relaxation of restrictions.

She hasn’t exactly been shy about it; popped up in my news feed this morning telling New South Welshpeople to continue masking.
Only some evil nihilist would make light of the catastrophic consequences of

Why…I think I’ll go and visit a vuilnerable setting today; might even strike up a conversation with it.
Mate in Cairns atm reckons it is dead and occupancy rate would be about 10 to 20% by observation.
The new doofus in the CMO’s spot and Anna pulling stunts on quarantining airliners and introducing Vax checks wouldn’t be helping that. I know of 2 family members that cancelled flights yesterday and 1 of those was to Qld from NSW.
Arky, nailed it.
I still quiver thinking back to the blatant used car salesman creeps that we had to tolerate when we were interviewing for a suiable retirement/care facility for Mum.
All that was missing was the trilby and he shark skin suit.
Mum was tough and independant so left everything too late which made her vulnerable.
A number of the spivs didn’t even attempt to hide their intention to rip off her assets.
Worst of all were the smug, faux friendly and understanding Uriah Heeps. Laid off when the local undertaker went bust.
Best advice we got was to knock on residents’ doors and ask their opinions. The Uriahs did everything possible to isolate you from other than selected inmates.
To our joy the facility that we eventually stumbled upon was excellent. Not once did we hear Mum plotting to murder staff or fellow residents.

Following up on aged care. When Mum became very frail and ill, my sister wanted her back in our little country town.
She negotiated a place in the aged care section of our little rural public hospital.
They were brilliant. Staff had worked there all their working lives. They knew everyone, loved a chin wag, knew all the scandal, patients loved them.
I must check and see if the hospital still exists. Probably not.

With the latest virus, do we get anything more than a sore throat and itchy balls?
A Boronia woman has called for more security in intimate apparel stores after she says she was exposed to shoppers by an unsupervised child at a shopping centre in Melbourne’s outer east.
Tara Birnie, 32, was trying on lingerie at Bras N Things’ Eastland store on November 16 when she claimed a boy, estimated to be about nine years old, pulled open the curtain.
She was in shock and was later checked on by a staff member from outside the changerooms, but was left traumatised by the experience.
Ms Birnie, who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, said she had a panic attack afterwards and was assisted by an Eastland security guard at the centre to get home.
Look at the kunt. I have no doubt this rancid bitch was traumatised by a 9 year old boy since children in general to it would be as alien to it as ethics are to the left in general. FMD.
I’ll bet good money that this is the ground work being prepared for a civil action.
Doesn’t she have two hands?
Spare a thought for the kid.
…the essence of Salim Mehajer…
A very odd chap.
His wedding was so over the top in bling it set new standards for ostentatious bad taste.
Mehajer, 29, hired dozens of Harley Davidsons, as well as a fleet of luxury sports vehicles, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces, to transport his guests and wedding party, and there was even a seaplane fly-by.
The traffic congestion caused by Mehajer’s wedding motorcade even led to the closure of an entire block in Lidcombe where the groom lives, and a dozen police had to be called in to handle gathered crowds and dangerous road conditions.
Mehajer’s wedding day, which is estimated to have cost more than $1 million, started with the groom and his groomsmen arriving at a local park by helicopter – and stepping off onto a giant red carpet where they were greeted by cameras – and lots of media attention.
The interesting thing is that the excess is regarded as normal by these nouveau-riche: the Lamborghinis and Ferraris – hired, to send a message of how rich their “owners” were; the helicopter, and the bridegroom with the five o’clock shadow.
What screams “absolute wanker” to most Aussies, to these people is desirable.
Every time I see a BMW or whatnot zipping through traffic, or the car sitting at the lights with loud music and a driver trying to look cool like someone trying awkwardly to mimic a picture of a ‘cool’ person, I think:
“You want people to notice what car you have, huh? But you just buy that with money. You don’t have to be brave or likeable – just pay money. And there are a lot of shitty ways to get money, so having that car does not make you a great person.
“However, the fact that you are trying to impress tell me plenty.”
Crikey, I didn’t know they were that far south! That’s a tad too close to home for comfort. It was creepy enough doing a couple of months stint in Bamaga knowing they were up there. Maybe I should keep the old blunderbuss handy in case. (Err, I don’t like arachnids, by the way.)
Geez, never mind the brown snakes or taipans, eh!

Aposematism is the advertising by an animal to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating. These advertising signals may take the form of conspicuous coloration, sounds, odours, or other perceivable characteristics.

China Begins Walking Back Promises to Reduce Pollution in the 2030s
Meantime Australia and the rest of the Western suckers are decarbonising at a rate which should return us to the mid 1700s within 5 years.

Of course, that could change given the tarantula-human interface is widening.

Total mystery why lotsa people only pretend to QR code check-in.
On the subject of “concerning”, these CHO/CMOs, premiers and chief ministers are looking more unhinged by the day.
They’re behaving like crazed, fixated cult members dancing and prancing around a bonfire, working themselves up to the point of throwing the sacrificial offering into the flames to appease whatever gods they think we’ve offended.
People in positions of any authority who can’t keep a level head are bloody dangerous. The mindless mobs that have been scared into quivering terror by the media (who never question the veracity or wisdom of the “official” utterances) cheering them on are even more dangerous.
So what’s the fukn point of the vax? When will the sheep wake up and tell their handlers to go pound sand!

Xi’s goal is for China to be the dominant world power – both industrial and military – by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution. Shrinking our industrial base further while he expands coal mining and plans more coal fired power stations plays directly into his plan. As I mentioned above, the one thing Communists will never run short of is useful idiots in the West.

STEPHEN GLOVER: I don’t doubt that Omicron is rife. Caution is sensible – but we’re having a national nervous breakdown
I suggest castration of the old creep but obviously whatever testicles he had are long gone:

I gather the ABC is evacuating their collective bladders and bowels over the Covid numbers. I have a sister who clings to the ABC and she is decrying the failure of the NSW and Federal government in handling this tsunami of people who might carry a virus that doesn’t make them sick – perhaps a few who say they cannot tell if it is just a cold.
She cites the governments’ greed.
Would I be correct in assuming that they gave reasons for not reaching straight for a lockdown and among those reasons is the states economy?
I would daresay she does not realise, because the ABC is itself clueless about the fact, that the economy is the reason she gets paid, the means by which she is able to own a TV, for electricity to be brimming at the power points, the reason there is food in shops, etc. It is not some rich mans’ playground, it is everything you do and have that you do not make with your own hands.
Joe Biden this week said the deaths of our 13 servicemembers in Afghanistan were inevitable and falsely claimed no one advised him on how to withdraw the troops safely.
It’s simple, you stupid old man – just tell the Secretary of Defence to withdraw the troops and then get out of the bloody way!
Typical of modern politicians – they think nothing gets done unless they micro manage it. Bloody helicopter leadership.
Nah, Melbourne winter is a step too far to avoid all the joys of good old Queensland! The humidity sucks in summer (not as bad as the Top End buildup though!) but the winters here are superb.
I’d love you all to come and visit, but I’m afraid our supposedly-elected state govt doesn’t seem to want you here. And we’re supposed to be one country…
Of course lying is just par for the course for the left.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Witchhunt) has once again been caught manipulating evidence: the House Jan. 6 committee on Wednesday admitted that Schiff had altered a text message from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, making it appear much more damning than it actually was (PJM)
If the test was being held in Sydney rather than Adelaide, Cummins would be playing because there is no longer a need for ridiculous ‘contact tracing’. And no doubt, everyone would somehow survive.
Too. Stupid. To. Survive.
Yet there will be precisely zero consequence for this behavior.

Latho has outed Chant as the leaker trying to sabotage the relaxation of restrictions.
Is anyone really surprised? Bad case of Relevance Deprivation Syndrome.
BTW I have been had my application to return to my home in Perth knocked back.
What a shit-stain of a country.
CHO’s are sourced from the public health class. These people have dual allegiances, their primary one to their own highly internationalist professional and social class / the head of it being the WHO, SAGE, the CDC etc. They are a modern version of an activated fifth column in all of our bureaucracies. Look at Dom Perrottet struggling to get a retarded witch looking lunatic under control. Why can’t he just sack her or order her to shut up? Two reasons: 1. Because she has the explicit backing of a vast political and media ‘public health’ apparatus that is immensely larger than the NSW government – or even any lone national government. If you take her on, you take the entire world of ‘healthcare’ on – as Trump and “Boris” found early last year. 2: Because it’s entirely probable that there is nobody better in the pool of available people in “public health” to choose from because they are all ideologues. And choosing an outsider will enrage that apparatus and they’ll do to that person what the judicial class did to Campbell Newman’s attempt to appoint an outsider to run that.
He seems to be doing a good job wrangling that tangled mess so far.
QLD recording new covid cases “by the hour”.
CHO considering mask mandate.
He’s been preparing for this moment all his life and now has his hands on the levers of freedom.
Is there a race angle to be had?
Are we going to be bombarded with opinion/stories about how they only opened the Pizza shop in the hope of shooting people – why else have a gun? Or how the kids mother drove him through 15 states trying to clock up infringements as she crossed each state line with the gun? Perhaps how the kids was looking for trouble because he does not live in the shop, but some miles away? Or how absurd the ‘defence’ claim is because if the robber was going to shoot the kids Mum he could have done it from 40 or 50 feet away, so pointing the gun at her in the shop does not mean she was in danger?
Or was the robber a white guy? In which case it is just another incident. Or perhaps white entitlement.
On the motorbike the worst ones at lights were ethics in lowered 20 year old 3 series BMWs (closely followed by old farts in Porche Caymens). Mostly I ignored them …
Perfect anthem for the times, Pogria!
So cricket balls have now joined footballs as potential super spreader vectors.
The .gov & lame stream media are responsible for creating these retards through their lies and fear mongering.
In my B*tch #36.5 for today, I will draw your attention to my hairdressers of the past 8 years. These complete and utter tossers now require proof of vaxx for a haircut. They can take a flying leap. They are now dead to me.
Scruffy little JustCuts around the corner has no such requirement and I can be in and out in under half an hour. I can back up for extra haircuts too because they are oodles cheaper.
I completely and absolutely reject the kind of thinking that put yellow stars on Jews. One business at a time.

12-15 yos in VIC no longer have to be vacced to access camp/sport/dance concerts/school graduations under the rule change overnight – after a month of lock out.
Acting Premier Merlino: “I know it’s been a challenge” but “it was the right thing to do” to drive up vacc rates.
So there it is. This has never been about our health. The pricks need to burn in hell.

Pat Cummins captaincy is beginning to look a lot like the Biden presidency.
Oh, and you guys were right – I was too optimistic.
The local shops are just as full of masked halfwits as they were yesterday.
Funniest was a corpulent maskee of the female persuasion fronting up to the ciggie counter for a pack of darts. I presume she has a little hole cut in the cheetah print for the filter.
And then there are the ones with the mask on their mouths but not their noses, glaring at me for smiling at them. And the filthy mask fiddlers…brrrrrrrrrrr.
Defeating this emergent global public health apparatus that is cementing in its power into national governments all over the world, will ultimately require a unified cross-country effort and explicitly pro-freedom alliance similar to what was required to bring communism under control last century. Unrelenting pressure from pro-freedom ideologues, funding pro-freedom groups in badly captured countries, security forces reconfiguring to start watching who in the bureaucracy is taking ‘directives’ from offshore and from where those are originating (WHO committee as a front for the CCP that advises X, Y and Z which is then dutifully implemented in QLD, etc).
It is the essence of the same thing. Last century private life was seized and nationalised using economic decisions as the lever, which were mandated to be the business of the public and control over all many aspects seized by the government. This century private health decisions are being made public and control over the same seized, for the same reason.
The end result is the same: total and complete totalitarian control over all people in all countries by a distant, detached anti-democratic international elite who have big ideas on how the world should work (who when scratching the surface of their private lives are all pretty insane).
QLD CHO on the mask mandate he’s considering:
“What we are aiming to do is to try and slow the spread of the virus to give people the opportunity particularly to get the third dose of vaccine.”
Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows.
Perrottet could always “relieve Chant of her duties” and not replace her.
I’d love to see her job description and a summary of what she does from day to day.
LOL
Masks in QLD in December.
Ok you egghead manlet. Even Young know better than that!
Only because he’s a bigger dickhead with a headful of the same talking points for dumb people.
These people will put you masks for the rest of your life if they could get away with it.
A bunch of absolute weirdos.
Mine, who is about 25, blonde and not greatly blessed in the cranial states rang me up to cancel my post-Freedom Day booking “in the interests of her business”. It was obvious she was making excuses because she was scared of unvaxxed me. Rather than attempt a futile explanation to her that I’ve a PhD in science and’ve read quite a lot of papers on the subject I just nicely replied that I understood and said goodbye. And bought a pair of scissors.
One thing that I am indebted to Cats is that I’ve learned, at last, that it’s impossible to logically or scientifically persuade someone who holds an emotionally-based false opinion about something.
So if everyone is back in masks unvaccinated people don’t need to be banned from life tomorrow right?
Because masks work. Right?
I can’t get over the number of young women still masked up. I get that they spent money on their designer neoprene gags, but…seriously?
The frail aged, tottering about on walking frames, eyes anxious if I venture too close – on these my heart goes out in pity and sorrow.
But the self-righteous strutters and glarers…not so much.
Time for something of beauty as Christmas is near.
I discovered this version of The Wexford Carol at American Digest.
Performed by the incomparable Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss.
Almost had me in tears.
They are unrelenting:
9NEWS: ‘Catastrophic’ fire danger as heatwave set to sweep Australia
Turns out it’s an outbreak of normal summer temps for inland SA, VIC & southern NSW.
Was it suggested here by someone that Southern Boomers had saved Queensssland tourism?
I asked Alison Krauss to marry me. She never answered. {sob …]
I gather you’re a bachelor, Bruce?
Spare a thought for the kid.
Come forward and collect your award Sir Roger.

Just your Very Normal establishment class being normal:
My hairdresser of 20 years did the same.
I found a fabulous hairdresser by word of mouth and close to home as well. He’s been in the country for 3 years, married an Aussie girl which is why he is here, wants to return to Syria as there are ”more freedoms” there and ”no one takes any notice of what the govt says about the virus or their mandates”. Bloody good hairdresser and slightly cheaper. I thank my old hairdresser for giving me the flick.
Very pleased to know government tolerated church numbers in Victoria are up. Is it because Christian hating Dan is on holidays?
Seems like the more Victoria and NSW ease the more other states tighten. I see even my lga is now anathema in Tasmania.
Guess what, not going.
I have family who often holiday-ed in Tasmania in January, not in 2022.
Now all I need is for someone to get clear mri and pet scans for it to be a good Christmas.
No I said Sunshine Coast and Goldcoast tourism and yes indeed the tens of thousands of boomers kicking around in QLD and Queenslanders taking local holidays did ‘save’ it over the last six months.
How else do you think they’re all still in business?
Back to your usual fag-hag hen pecking self I see.
Struth chief amongst them…
Mehajer’s ostentatious behaviour isn’t nouveau riche per se, it’s Lebanese Muslim and Muslim in general.
I’m sure someone here linked an article or was a French source on twitter? about a Muslim wedding party in which took over a main road in France angrifying locals and the star vehicle later being involved in a crash and arrests by police.
Doctors and nurses?

I don’t think that is correct.
Madga grew up in a very ordinary part of Croydon which in the mid 1960s was cheap triple fronted brick veneer end of the earth housing estate.
She was quite a bit younger than her two? siblings and was sent to Siena which back then was a comparatively low fee Catholic school, couple of girls from my primary school went there around same time.
Heck…if you’re looking for logic you’re in the wrong century.

Some people just like driving and like loud music.
Should they buy Camrys and only listen to talk show radios at 10% volume just to look inconspicuous to others?
