Because dancing was unknown before 1966.
To quote my best friend’s dear ol’ Mum* upon discovering his copy of “The Antichrist” in about 1980: “Who is this Nyeechee person?”.
She’s still with us, as dignified as ever and living in the family home in Bankstown. Nearing 95 and still coping with recently having lost her beloved James at 97 (i.e. in April this year).
They were/are real working class people, not self aggrandising scum like that vile preposterous pretender keating.
And will be unknown again soon, if these creepy bizarre obsessive fascist imbeciles lording it over us have their way.

BBS, you have to do the emojis the old fashioned way. Colons, semi colons, brackets, and a capD for a big smile.
Like this. ?

Lysander, re who gets exemptions. A few weeks ago, when that arseh*le Andrews moved to bring in the mandates in Viccy, the courts (the judges and court staff) pointed out that the separation of powers restricted the govt from mandating that sector. So Andrews folded on it.
Commonwealth, justice employees in Victoria granted vaccine exemption (Sky News 9/10/21)
Authorised workers in Victoria have been given a reprieve after the Andrews government backflipped on plans to enforce a COVID vaccination mandate.
All Commonwealth employees as well as people who work in connection with court proceedings will be exempt with a government spokesperson saying the relaxation is an attempt to avoid “jurisdictional limitations”.
The change will apply to judges, lawyers, security guards and police officers
Zip, my sister’s doctor won’t see the unvaccinated.
I’m with Rick on this – despite being private businesses, most of their income is taxpayer derived, which under the Australian universal health system known as Medicare, should be enough to remind these tax hooverers of their Hippocratic Oath to their fellow man.
Ahaha! A Visitation!
Happy Christmas Doomy, and a traditional Christmas carol from me.
Calli,
Even using punctuation it didn’t work. (If you can’t see them, there’s lots of laughing emojis under this).
??????
Something a little more traditional for Dover.

That’s not the ideal one.

Oh. I thought he had died.

We rag on you because we love you!

Just put the last very over tired and very over excited child to bed. Hopefully it’s now Silent Night. Cooked dinner for 10, tomorrow lunch for 14.
Big Santa now has a nice glass of scotch, some gingerbread and a chocolate. He appears to be quite content with the stopover, might stay a while. His elves are all enjoying a glass of Lodge Hill Shiraz.
Happy Christmas one and all.
Ol’ bloke – would you kindly stop being so controversial (again).
He’s just pining for the fjords, Squire.
Is that your Christmas dinner menu?
Lovely banner. Who is the artist?
Cohenite,
No. (Tried to bring it up on google earth)
It’s at the southern end of the street and it’s just above the street with view of the beach). (It’s probably been knocked down to build a monstrosity).
He’s gone.
A very Merry Christmas to you, Cats.
I love youse all. 🙂
Is this a Roger Moore moment?
Because if it is, I’m not falling for it. This time.
Well Cats, it’s been the week from Box City Mk 2 down here in sunny Jerra, over the border from the Greenie Nirvana of Canberra.
Took a break from unpacking, hanging pictures, installing Mrs TE’s in the cupboard twin-bins, two trips to Bunnings etc etc, to meet up with RugbySkier for a local coffee – many thanks mate. Together we plan to storm Parliament House next month and install our own version of government.
A happy Christmas to all.
Ahhh. Got it.
Adoration of the Shepherds, attributed to Giorgione, circa 1510.
This one.
Rabz, my favourite TAG Heuer.
Pretty cool I reckon.
This guy.
(I cheated…if you open the picture as an image you can see the name of the painting. Then a DDG search gets you the artist! I will never be an art cognosniffy.)
Very good, cohenite, (and I know you’re trying to help) but the only thing from the description that seems to have jelled in your mind is the colour white.
(Of course, all will be forgiven if you’re buying it!)
Haha, out-snapped by Calli answering herself. Merry Christmas!
TE,
Is this a permanent move?
(Of course, all will be forgiven if you’re buying it!)Have bought.
I was being lazy Bruce. Googled “Adoration of the Shepherds” on the offchance (being the subject matter), and there it was!
Bluddee hell jupes – here’s mine (minus the day display). My suits are going to need fumigation and dry cleaning in order to ever do it justice. In the meantime, it’s been gathering much dust. Along with this.
I’ve become so habituated to padding around the house in sports clothes over the last six months that wearing a suit again seems ridiculous pointless and quite frankly, ostentatious.
Thanks, hitlerists!
Collectivists, being unlistenable (again) …
Gloria in Excelsis Deo.
I might just head on down there and join you and the skier, TE.
Talk of watches, upthread.
Anyone remember the old military joke about
“What time is it”
“If you are a regular, 1500 hours. If you’re a Nasho, it’s three o’clock in the afternoon, and if you’re an officer, Mickey’s little hand is on 3, and his big hand is on 12..”

Merry Christmas All!
Little Bloke just crashed, Christmas started yesterday for him, he spent most of the day with two of his mates in one of his mates new house (I got to spend the afternoon carefully making holes in walls for paintings and mirrors). Today we drove up to the farm visiting friends on the way. One of his mates also came to visit so they spent the afternoon playing with the dogs and catching tadpoles. Evening rounded out with a BBQ and appreciation of Nana and Grandpa’s extensive Christmas Lights. He was on the couch watching Carols with Nana before mum called it, time to go to bed before you fall off!
They’re all having Maximum Christmas despite Australian Politicians best efforts to stuff up everything!
TE can I come too? I’ll bring my own pike.
Classic dress watch. Beautiful. You need a sports watch to lounge around the house in your sports clothes, which is why you should ask Santa for the Monaco.
Feeling ever more emboldened in his now out of control Parisian mood, Paul tries out yet more schoolboy French to woo a (getting increasingly grumpy) continental bohemian lass …

jupes – santa seems to have a selective hearing and reading problem whenever I grant him my wish list.
He still hasn’t delivered me one of these, for example … 🙁

Calli, I have another Adoration of the Shepherds for the Christmas thread popping up overnight. It’s magnificent.
Yo – thanks, P.
Posted upthread – wouldn’t pepperspraying someone who was taking pictures of you, be considered an excessive use of force? Any of the bush lawyers on the Cat help out?
The late Kirsty MacColl, taken from this planet before her time in a tragic speedboat accident.
She’s on many of my favourite tracks from the eighties and the nineties in her capacity as a sought after session singer.

Too bad about all the sundered families at this sacred time, across this wide brown land, Craigo.
At least you took a stand and stated loudly that what your contemporaries are doing to us is obscene and unconscionable.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the yule-tide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon, we all will be together, if the fates allow
Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Ps I very much value all your friendships; and the laughing, ribbing and p1ss taking, as well as the truly amazing insights on so many varied subjects.
And DB, thanks for taking it upon yourself to not just “fill the gap” this year but to make the Cat even better.
Best wishes for Christmas,
BBS

Calli:
Just think Calli, a Feminist would say you got the raw end of the deal – you did all the work and did it for free. You could have been managing a multinational corporation and had servants to do all this stuff. Curse that Glass Ceiling!
However, the rest of us know who got the best deal – the intangibles are priceless for a reason.
Merry Christmas to everyone, and may the WZV die a cold, lonely, and miserable death in the New Year.

The ‘Great Scramble to Get Out of The Painted Corner’ picks up speed.
The term ‘sowing wind and reaping whirlwinds’ comes to mind.
Zipster:
From your China in Focus:
12:48 China creates state-run rare earth giant – This has been an issue for nearly three years and there has still been no move to use our own (the Wests) resources?
21:18 Well preserved baby dinosaur found inside egg – Great stuff – No chance of any dNA being recoverable, so no chance of Santa bringing us 2 meter carnivorous flying chickens in the near future.
Sad.
