Hehe, Rex, that sounds like an excellent brew, but not with ordinary Tabasco since it has vinegar in it.
Habanero Tabasco might work, it’s hotter and quite fruity. Mexicans regularly love chillies with chocolate.
Just so you know I had a bacon and tomato sandwich with lots of lovely Carolina Reaper sauce on it for breakfast this morning after a bike ride. Wanted a change from bran (which is good for the insides). My IGA sells both the Carolina Reaper and Habanero Tabasco sauces, they’re very enlightened.

Man granted bail after being charged with arson over Old Parliament House fire in Canberra
Some protesters who gathered outside the court during the hearing appeared to be part of the so-called sovereign citizen movement
A Victorian man charged with arson and damaging commonwealth property over a fire at Canberra’s Old Parliament House has been granted bail.
The 30-year-old appeared via video link on Tuesday from Canberra’s prison, where he was being held on remand.
His bail conditions include reporting to the nearest police station to his home in Gippsland once a week, not entering the Australian Capital Territory unless for legal purposes and attending court in the ACT when compelled.
A suppression order has been granted on the man’s name to protect him from potential retribution for his alleged actions.
A woman purporting to be from “the sovereign nation of Terra Australis” applied to represent the man in court, but was denied.
He is being represented by Legal Aid.
A handful of supporters gathered outside the court and held a smoking ceremony.
Some protesters appeared to be part of the so-called sovereign citizen movement and told reporters police had no jurisdiction to engage with them.
Members of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which was set up across the road from Old Parliament House almost five decades ago, have condemned last week’s fire.
So a hodge podge group of knobs.

If that’s what you’re intending.
Protesters have held a smoking ceremony outside a court in Canberra to support a man charged with deliberately setting Old Parliament House on fire.
A Victorian man, aged 30, fronted ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with arson and damaging the nearly 100-year-old building’s facade on Thursday during a smoking ceremony. He is one of four charged over the blaze.
Before proceedings commenced, a woman representing conspiracy group United Sovereign Nations of Terra Australis attempted to join the hearing in support of the accused.
Special Magistrate Jane Campbell denied the request as there were no concerns of the accused’s mental capacity, before describing the charges as “very serious”.
About a dozen protesters declaring themselves “sovereign citizens” gathered outside the court where they were reportedly met by about 10 police officers. A man with a didgeridoo lit some leaves.
The Aboriginal Test Embassy issued an official statement condemning the protest last week.
The accused appeared via video-link wearing a grey shirt and said he could understand proceedings, indicating he would apply for bail.
The court heard ACT Police would oppose bail due to the man’s criminal history, a likelihood of committing further offences while on bail and that he was likely to fail to appear before court.
The matter was stood down briefly so the accused could speak with his Legal Aid representative.

So you shouldn’t mind if someone refers to Rabz’s 31/12 7.00pm comment announcing his imminent “mystery thread”, his 7.02 pm comment saying “it’s on”, your 7.07pm assumption that “it’s on” was ALL ABOUT YOU (despite neither Rabz’s 7.00pm and 7.02pm comments nor them and your 7.07 comment being separated by anything which could have misled a less self-absorbed reader), Rex’s correction at 7.11pm that it wasn’t ALL ABOUT YOU- all of which would be no big deal, but then… your 7.20pm disdainful dismissal of Rabz’s thread with “who knew?”, followed by… drumroll… less than 15 minutes after you had wrongly assumed it was ALL ABOUT YOU, and only 9 minutes after you’d been informed of that, denouncing other people as “narcissists”.
Just toy with it.
That is why it is ‘a cautionary tale’ osc

My bipolar second son put us through a similar performance in Court but sadly had the book thrown at him. He was seriously off the planet at the time. He ended up in Long Bay Prison Hospital where visiting him was one of life’s lesser desired experiences.

I think Bruce made a comment in there somewhere to the effect of ‘I dare not say it but it’s on with the girls’ or something similar which may have influenced my perspective. You also completely neglect my explantory comment that Rabz is my personal friend who had been trying to get me to come back to Catallaxy.

Advice for getting legal advice.
Never take legal advice at a dinner party. It is worth less than the $6.95 bottle of Aldi rosé the conveyancer brought.
Choose a solicitor who has a good reputation, plenty of work and who is not in your friendship circle.
Get your advice stone cold sober in the solicitor’s office.
Ask for him/her/xe to provide, in writing, a likely outcome, plus best case and worst case.
Ask for a written estimate of likely costs for various scenarios, from a quick exchange of letters and a settlement, through to the highest possible court the matter can go to.
Most litigation would cease right there if people did this.
I’m sorry for you and your son Lizzie. Best wishes from me, that’s all I can offer (ok some prayers too, I’ll do that). The medical profession is being suborned, like my profession has been. I don’t know what will happen but I can’t see how civilization can continue when professionals ignore reality like this. It’s back to leeches and magic amulets.
Habanero candy is on the to do list BoN. I have Habaneros already.

Oh look what’s interesting to our Rod.
Rod receives 100 complaints about price gouging and will take a critical look.. In other words, Rod thinks that a huge increase in demand should not impact prices and the price mechanism doesn’t work in terms of resource allocation. Rod, however doesn’t seem at all concerned that the purchase Syd Airport by the massive funds is the biggest swampiest deal we’ve ever seen. He’s just worried about the 100 complaints. This joint is a fucking joke.

Humphrey, the UAP’s stated aim is to preference the sitting member last in all seats. Therefore, the UAP preference should flow to the Coalition in ALP held seats, and to the ALP in Coalition held seats.
Here’s a question…. where will the ALP and Coalition preferences flow? I’d wager that they will support each other, i.e., Coalition preference to the ALP and ALP preferences to the Coalition. Every effort will be made to shut down an upstart political party which threatens the Uniparty’s hold on power.

More details on arson accused form the Oz:
A man accused of deliberately lighting Old Parliament House on fire has outstanding charges relating to civil disobedience in Victoria, a court has heard.
The 30-year-old Victorian man, whose name and address have been suppressed, was granted bail by Special Magistrate Jane Campbell on Tuesday.
The man is facing charges of arson and deliberately damaging the facade of the nearly 100-year-old Old Parliament House and the court heard there was video of the 30-year-old fuelling and stoking the flames of last Thursday’s fire.
There are three others charged over last Thursday’s blaze but the court heard the trio are facing charges relating only to the protest and not the fire.
ACT Police opposed bail, saying the man was likely to reoffend as he viewed himself as a “sovereign citizen” and was facing charges relating to protest in Victoria at the time of the alleged offending in Canberra.
Prosecutor Angus Brown said the charges the man was facing in Victoria related to remaining in a restricted area for reasons of protest and said there was a real likelihood he would reoffend.
“I’m not saying it‘s a significant pattern of behaviour but there’s a significant escalation,” he said. “To go from being in a restricted access area in Victoria to lighting a fire [in Canberra].”
Mr Brown said public servants and police officers working inside Old Parliament House had to be evacuated as protesters thwarted efforts of emergency services to quell the fire.
He said the motive behind the man travelling to the ACT or starting the fire remained unclear but said both were “in defiance of laws designed to protect others”
Police believe he shaved his beard after last Thursday’s fire out of fear of retribution spawned by public outrage triggered by the blaze.
Ms Campbell bailed the man to an address about 310km east of Melbourne, in Victoria’s Gippsland region and ordered he report weekly to his local police station.
The man is not allowed to enter the ACT unless for court or legal engagements and cannot enter the suburb of Parkes.
The man, who appeared via video-link wearing a grey shirt, said he only had cultural engagements in the ACT.
Ms Campbell replied “You will need to focus on cultural engagements where you live.”
The man has no fixed address but has been living at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which issued an official statement condemning the protest last week.
Ms Campbell granted the man permission to attend the Aboriginal Tent Embassy with Australian Federal Police officers one time to gather his possessions before leaving the ACT on Wednesday.
About a dozen protesters held a smoking ceremony outside ACT Magistrates Court, some telling police they were “sovereign citizens”.
Before proceedings began, a woman representing group United Sovereign Nations of Terra Australis attempted to join the hearing in support of the accused.
The request was denied. The man will next appear before ACT Magistrate’s Court on February 5.
I didn’t mind at all Bruce, because it was you saying it. Same as if it really was Rabz saying it about me rather than about his venture, I know he wouldn’t mind me putting him straight about how I felt. We’d talked about it a bit over Christmas.
Our fledgies are now returning to garner their own food supplies from us, Bruce. How they have grown. And old mum, the grandma of the current lot I think, is looking very scruffily fluffy underneath, old in her scabby feet and rather worn out in general. I am extra kind to her. She and I have talked for two seasons now about the trias of caring for the kiddies. I’ll never forget how she spent hours in the summer sun last season with open black wings absorbing the heat, hovering over her fledgies in burning heat, because she’d built her next, foiled by shade there, just before the Jacaranda drop and the new growth was not yet good protection against the sun.
Such sacrifice for the good of the young.
You deserve a break, I told her yesterday. Take five now.
Sit here most of the day in the shade.
So she did, taking frequent tiny juicy meat morsels from us.
I don’t like posting entire pieces as it’s kind of stealing. This sentence alone encouraged me to post the entire piece in full as it’s really so, so good. It slices the Greto generation into tiny pieces and throws the worthless whiny little fuckers into history’s toilet.
Defining yourself by your resentment of an earlier generation isn’t how to do it.

The real problem with airports and why they do have monopoly characteristics is that it would be impossible to build new ones 10 K from the CBD like Syd. airport. The only time when this will ease off is when we finally have the technology for silent vertical takeoff and landing like Chooper. This would be at least 100 plus years away.

Went to Bunnings today and the masked lady at the entrance asked me to wear a mask of which I replied that I have an exemption, no problem please go through…
Went to the local Dutch bakery but masked lady (Nazi) behind counter also asked me to put on mask (I’m exempt!) well okay can you please sign in…
Won’t be going back there.
Muddy:
I went back and gave an uptick to every one of your rancid mutterings.
Now shut up.
That would only leave me and two others.
Can’t be arsed to check back myself, Timothy. Some deeply committed soul may do so.
Good luck to them.
It actually seems a bit variable, depending on time and perhaps your mobile/laptop.
And I could simply be wrong, cooking away with a smoothing iron or something.
I bought myself a water flosser recently.
It’s a game changer.
After you get used to it, the dental hygiene is simply the best.

But then I’m apparently a Joneser not a Boomer – fwiw – and our life experience was shaped by a different set of key events to Boomers. That – and I think that only – is where generalising on generations can be of some value.
That is where the “surge” has come from.
Latent asymptomatic cases which were always there but suddenly have to donate snot to travel.
It’s on!!!

RATS are cheaper than pcr tests.
In Italy they are administered by pharmacists and the results are fed into government stats.
I get the impression people only get pcrs if they don’t like their rat results.
I don’t have a problem with free rats if they are used instead of pcr. Big pathology will have to take an early haircut.
The government will lose control of ‘case numbers’ though.
Italy of course only uses hospitalisation and ICU numbers to determine whether restrictions should be eased or increased.
As Warwick said, unless you are sick enough to need medical treatment, don’t get tested.
My wife and I will be pleased to leave our kids a legacy.
You sound like you need to go on a cruise.
Is it … is it … you know … actionable?
Me too Roger.
I still save enough from my ongoing business to not dip into capital and feel zero guilt about taking holidays, especially after 13 years of 13 day fortnights at the shop.

No, not really “actionable” but it was told to me in private so it’s not a good idea to post it in those circumstances.
It’s amazing how many Australian small businesses are gleefully destroying their long-term customer base because the government told them to. Such if the insane fascist economy being forced on us by the unelected, incompetent, unaccountable public service, which is being protected by politicians and the hysterical news media.
Just finished harvest.
Started on the 1st Dec.
I’m buggered!
You could try a slow saturate-and-dab with methylated spirits.
It would at least evaporate quickly.
If you use water put the keyboard in the sun asap.
I have successfully dried them out like that.

Leg up on squatter’s chair on a shady verandah with a cold beer for you now.
Hearty congratulations. Without farmers we’d all starve.
Gez
What happens now?
Just make sure you turn it off when you leave the room.
I’m not sure how these RAT things work.
You do a test at home and if negative, go about your business. But if its positive…..then what?
Go get a PCR to confirm? If you do a RAT prior to travel, how does anyone know what the result was? Couldn’t you travel by just saying it was negative? How does anyone know? Or, get a well friend or member of your family to do the (negative) test for you and say it’s yours?
Gez
No resting. You’re only as good as your last harvest… as they say on Wall Street. 🙂
Anyone else notice who the “Sydney Aviation Alliance Consortium” is?
Yup, you guessed it. The unions. Won’t that be fun?

Why…thank you, Matrix.

On RATS. One of the golfing buddies bought three and did a little experiment over the course of an hour.
One – negative
Two – positivd
Three – negative
That’s quality, that is. Unless one nostril had covid and the other didn’t.
You’ve earned it, rosie.

I was thinking of making a series of short films on safety.
The theme being “would you put your dick there”.
Different situations where people are using heavy/hot/sharp/moving gear and someone comes along and says “use your dick instead” with a shot of a fly being unzipped before it cuts away to black and agonized screaming..
A tasteful ladies versions could also be made with pointy/sticking out things along the same theme.
Because fuck all else seems to motivate people.
This video is my spirit animal for safety.
Starts nice and civilized before some more hunnish behavior sets in.

Never had a good experience through Sydney airport as it is.
Hopefully those that do manage to procreate before transitioning will be horrified by their offspring who will inevitably rebel against them by bringing homo-hatin’ for fun and profit to the fore. Popcorn time.
Not till the Unis get back into gear it doesn’t.
A similar line of films could be made for all future parliamentarians, with the same theme.
A series of complicated issues with lots of unknown unknowns and possible damage to others lives and a presstitute comes along and says “stick your dick in, its bound to fix it”
When you have accumulated too many flexi-flounce hours you will be required go on a flounce until such time as your flounce entitlement has dropped to more acceptable levels.
Periods of flounce leave in excess of entitlement can be accommodated up to a balance of negative 8 flounce hours if approved by dover in advance of flouncing.
Note that your contract of commenting may prohibit you from flouncing from a competing blog less than 2 months after flouncing from NewCatallaxy.
Compassionate Flouncing may also be granted in special circumstances, see your licensed flouncing adviser for details.
Now we clean up the harvest gear, put it away and make sure all stored grain is secure.
Lots of grain on farm this year which needs marketing in the next six months.
Lots of chats to the grain broker for opportunities domestically or on ship.
The sheep will get more attention which makes the sheep dogs happy. I’ll be back on dog feeding duty again.
I should get some GYPSUM delivered.
And Uber Eats comes from backyard slop shops in places like Bankstown with third world staff and conditions.
You’re either bullshitting or haven’t been anywhere. Syd airport is perhaps the best managed airport in the fucking world. It’s clean, efficient and nice to walk through without being hugely overcrowded.
Try fucking Newark, JFK, LA, SF, Heathrow, De Gualle as examples of people being treated like cattle. Airports are one of the big reasons the very rich elsehwere buy private jets when they “scrape” up the cash . Australian airports are really nice and offer less of a reason to buy a jet.
Excellent, JC!
“We” were also the genertion of 18% interest rates, while “you” have enjoyed minimum rates for several years. We juggled home and work without any govt subsidised childcare. We didn’t have any pre-four yo education, ie, playgroups etc, until we organised them ourselves.
We never thought of ourselves as hard done by victims. We never, EVER, verbally abused our parents or blamed them for our woes. Granted, some of our era – the elites – were hedonistic fools, lauded by the media, but the majority were hard working young mums and dads, devoted to their family and their community.
We make no apology if, after 50/60 years of paid employment, sacrifice and careful planning, we have amassed a healthy nest egg for our children and our retirement. I hope you will enjoy the same happy outcomes, but it won’t happen while you sit on your butt whinging that your parents have stolen your future.
I’m going to have some of the Corona beer my wife bought for guests at Christmas.
I’ve avoided it so far but we can’t have it going off by neglect.
An interesting way to present it would be the “put your balls in the blender test”
Example – young sparky going to work on a 22Kv substation board that is live, cut to scientific (smoking hot female) type in white coat who somberly states – “Work on this or put your balls in the blender, you choose”.
Australia’s unregulated airport monopolies are a licence to print money. That’s why JC has shares in Sydney airport (SACL).
The new Sydney West airport won’t hurt SACL or its profitability. It will simply allow the expansion of the NSW economy for the first time instead of its strangulation by the high-cost SACL monopoly, which is currently the only way for goods to move by air into and out of the Sydney basin.

Gez,
You’ve alluded to a state of affairs either unknown to, or held in disdain by too many people in this country.
For cockies, it never ends.
The Bavarian government has enlarged the exhibition centre on Obersalzberg mountain, the site of Hitler’s destroyed Alpine retreat, replacing a museum that had become too small for the annual influx of 170,000 visitors.
When I went there the exisiting museum & surrounding complex seemed to be quite expansive.
The tour guide said their biggest problem was when people jumped the ropes to explore tunnels that weren’t deemed safe.

From a non-boomer. I’m much too attractive for that, and I still laugh at other people’s ear hair.

Thats pretty well the style Id want.
Even everyday things like grinders/wire wheels/punch pins etc, anything that gets an instinctive “not no, but fuck no!” from the viewer.
The fade to black has the relevant industrial machine noise/scream combo for whats being used, with the occasional “Dont think they will stitch that back on” or “”maybe it will grow back”.. as the screaming subsides.
Houses were the most expensive in terms of loan servicing a real world mortgage in the end of the Gillard years.
2022 might top things. Even regional cities have insane prices now.
The rate of nominal price appreciation in regional NSW cities has effectively ran at double the rate of CPI inflation for the past 45 years. Most of that comes from the last 15 years. Why the hell not, we aimlessly follow LGB on economic policy like QE that yearns to be MMT.
Good for sulfur, fairly neutral on pH.
I’ve had a lot of fun with gypsum.
The Basics plant at Risdon was excellent. They’d run it until the tanks had about a metre thick layer of gypsum on their walls, then they’d shut down for a while and get out the jack hammer.
Sounds similar to the “suck it and see” test used when trying to figure out if the cable is live or not.
Don’t forget to gargle with kerosene to eliminate the taste.
Before or after the Boomers have soaked in it?

Is there some business negotiation that goes on to sell grain? It’s not transparent? Can’t you sell the stuff on the futures market?

Sad.
Using a grain broker was the best money I ever spent – there were quite a few horror stories about growers who thought any bloody fool could sell grain through a futures contract.
Melbin airport was nicer than Sydney for sure. Pre 9/11, you could basically go wherever you liked.
Hobart was okay, due to being a ghost town in comparison.
The wife suggests we go and see some boomer music at a Pomonal winery at the end of January.

Gez, well done on finally finishing the harvest, marathon effort there.
A few years ago if someone had claimed to me that getting a crop off was hot, dirty and hard work, I would have laughed and skited that real hard work was running an air jumbo 500 metres underground and sitting in an air conditioned cab on a combine or a tractor would be a doddle.
Fast forward to 2021 and ask a frazzled and worn out Pedro how tough was his harvest gig, and he will tell you that running an air jumbo 500 metres underground is a doddle compared to getting the crop in.
A lot of satisfaction in knowing that your hard work has contributed to the nation’s wealth, if only in a small way.
Timothy, that is exactly what is in my possession, sent to me by Cassie to alert me of its existence, so she probably also has a copy of this email and screen shot somewhere. It shows the True Name in a screen shot of the Cat because it is before I asked Sinc to remove it.
It doesn’t matter if Joh doesn’t remember doing it as it seems to be her honest belief and I won’t be putting it out anywhere.
There are things I don’t remember or get wrong too.
I am effin terrified about China. They can’t be trusted. They weasel in. See how quickly Hong Kong has caved, in preparation for the assault on Taiwan. We should all be far more concerned about that. And our diesel storage fiasco. And Keating’s statement our subs will be like throwing toothpicks at a log. What sort of real sovereign independence can we maintain? Are the US and the UK really going to be our friends in this, or should we be working harder on India and Japan/Indonesia? Is Europe a gonner?
Geez, dickless upticks are the least of my worries, when I think about it.
Nothing is on trial here.
Pretty bad boomer coping going on here.

Always easier if you have physical.
Domestic sales are predicated on attracting grain away from an export position and depending on your distance from the buyer, you can get a nice premium through freight advantage.
Legumes have no futures component, so are solely based on the demand and logistics costs of getting them to India and nearby counties. The Indian government have dropped tariffs on our stuff which is good. It’s a buoyant market and I’ll be pricing lentils very soon,

And the whole thing was such a fuckup that the National Guard had to be sent in to save them from hypothermia and dehydration.

If anyone’s ever watched Law& Order…
You know the part that I find hard to believe? It’s where the DA (Jack McCoy) puts the last and final deal on the table and says that instead of 30 to life, if the dude or the gal rats on the other accused, they get reduced sentence of 20 years with potential for parole after 15 years served. The accused lawyer then nods to him or her implying it’s a great deal and the scene ends in a sort of happy resignation thing. How’s 15 to 20 a great deal?
Damn straight.

That talk gives me a mighty erection.
The Berghof was damaged in an RAF air raid in April 1945
ANZAC Day 1945, one of my earlier bosses took part in that raid.
I’m not sure what the GOP number is, but 25 DNC house members will not be re-contesting their seats at the 2022 mid terms.
This lumping classes of people, this time by age, into narrow stereotypes does indeed reek of Marxism.
I was a just a, very innocent, little kid in 1969.
And in 1969 most people were still get married young start a family go without save a deposit church goers, the percentage of free love freaks was not so great.
So, so, gay.
Fair point Gez. It’s kinda gay, but it would extremely homosexualized if you stuck an piece of lemon through the top of the bottle.
JC, who wrote that terrible WSJ article?
chiple jay news (i.e. the ALPBC yoof wing) this morning at 10:00am: “Eleventy gazillion cases, most of whom are in hospital, with Health Hazzard warning that NSW hospitals are on the verge of collapse”.
They’ll still be incessantly screeching this shit in 12 months time. 😡
Unless:
The long overdue and Righteous Administration of HOP Time™ commences – and the sooner the better.
You know it makes sense, peoples. 🙂
Watched half of 7.30 tonight. Turned off when Albo came on. They were laying on the COVID porn very thick.

Given that they’re a state run unionised enterprise they probably are, so it’s not necessarily entirely bogus. Just not because of people being infected with covid.
Rosie, ever know Merv Binns? You reminded me of that time in my life, and his name emerged from a dusty attic. So I checked just now and am sad I see he’s no longer with us.
He used to put out a newsletter monthly, which I’d buy lots from.
Meisner was picked up on warrants in the old days of your money or do time and taken to the charge room at the Sydney Police Centre.
He had thousands owing, big money in those days.
He was allowed to use a phone, rung around telling his mates where cash was stashed. Some bags delivered to the cop shop.
A receipt had to be issued for each fine. Cue the poor copper doing the donkey walk looking over his shoulder to see what everyone else was doing.
There they were gone.
They were upstairs watching the cctv. It seems some beys had been made in case of aggro. Which didn’t happen.
Bastards.
