Don’t worry about it any Speedbox:
Qld public service isn’t able to keep up with modern efficiencies & stuff.
Probably because they don’t have enough public servants.
(That wasn’t what I was meaning anyway, though I do buy & sell a lot of cars)
Yes RockDr. The last time I visited Adelaide was 3 years ago and although there are plenty of modern cars, there are some shockers on the road as well (almost literally as well as figuratively). Remember Julia Gillard’s ‘Cash for Clunkers’ scheme? Adelaide would have been ground zero.

My local hotel is owned by one of the big landlords and now has a dedicated door whore. No point arguing the toss. Keep on truckin’ as they say.

Another quick story about Adelaide cars.
Many years ago I was in a taxi in Adelaide and the car was frightful. The ride was terrible and you could hear the shockers ‘rattling’ around and there was no bump absorption. Tyres could have been part of the problem but the shockers (and possibly springs) were totally stuffed. I turned to the driver and said “Do they still have a Midas in Adelaide?” The driver, who I guess was a contractor, looked at me and said “dunno”.
I think taxis are supposed to be inspected regularly in Adelaide but there was no doubt that this one hadn’t seen the inside of a suspension workshop in its life.
And HB, Marx McGowan has made no bones about excluding unjabbed from everywhere but the supermarkets, so get ready to QR code everywhere. It is, of course, the Australia Card.

The 380 was a good(ish) car but FWD was the problem. I have often wondered if RWD would have saved it but the time/cost to engineer a RWD version was never on the table. Not even close.
Notwithstanding the 380, I had a very good relationship with Mitsubishi for many years. They were fulsome in their assistance/guidance and the Evolution cars were awesome.

Ok, wife’s home. Night all.
I knew about asprin some time ago so stocked up.
I never bothered with dunny paper as I figured washing off in the shower would be sufficient and also save money. The panic over it just confirms how dumb the sheep really are.
I don’t see any problems with EVs and the electrical supply grid.
The planning has already been done & the government is actively pursuing it. What is it, you ask??
You peasants will own nothing and you will be happy.
The elite will own the fancy EVs, the small number of which will cause the existing grid no problems at all.
Agree- I think that’s what they’re up to. Like BloJob in the yookay.
Well over one in 40 Victorians are now current “active cases” of covid.
But the real problem is, of course, that one individual has flown in from Serbia, even though he’s tested negative.
Only Maximum Leader can save us!!!!
Oh, wait, Maximum Leader, having recently extended the “emergency powers” he got himself in December to “keep us safe”, is saying that it’s a Commonwealth matter.
So Maximum Leader is helpless in the face of Commonwealth inaction.
So hard to keep up with the Current Truth.
I thought it was a plague of boils? But he is onto something with the fish thing. A lesson from Venezuela is that tinned tuna holds its value when all else goes to shit, like the currency.
Speedbox my experience of Adelaide was it is a PIA to get around. Before smart phones and GPS’s anyway. Remember first run to airport from site by road (We normally went in/out in light twin engine aircraft) one time getting disoriented even though I was on the right path from a lack of signage. Got off the Princes Hwy southbound on to some expressway near Gawler, then fumbled my may through the northern suburbs towards the airport till I hit Henley Beach rd. Excellent I know where I am now. Made it to the airport in nick of time from there but lack of signage that I am used to in bigger capitals was irritating.
I haven’t been to Adelaide in over 10 years but it is one thing I do hope they have rectified, along with that ludicrous 15km/h road works zone limit.
Remember two members of the current mis government don’t do much to hide their links with the WEF. Bragg and Hunt. How many other are linked that we don’t know about not to mention the liars and greenfilth?
Speedbox,
Are you sure you know what fulsome means?
Again asking for a pedantic friend.

Found some Zinc Citrate in the fridge, took 2 after Tea and had leg cramps 2 nights

Never tried Kippers before, it’s not bad at all.
I’d say supplementing with Zinc is a waste of time though.
The owner of a business can make such orders as to who may or may not patronise that business. Hence the dicks with the double fanged work of Satan Staasi tick.

Yep. These mandates are causing permanent damage.
This thread’s moving quicker than Ben Cousins towards a glass barbie at the minute.
A couple of points, apropos of St. Ruth of Wordwall raised earlier this evening:
1. 70% right is nowhere near good enough, especially when you’re blurring the lines for that 70% and the other 30% is a) all vaxxed will die in ‘18 to 48 months’ (yes that is exactly what he said), b) ‘concentration camps’ are right now being built all over the country to herd dissidents into, and c) yet to be proven and internet-inspired nuttery that now is the time the NWO has been waiting for and why can’t you SEE you stupid cows;
2. So far this has been illustrated with rapidly expanding epistles in which he bemoans the lack of access to guns, he highlights himself as a public figure tormented by the MSM, about having two jobs, one job, no jobs and some jobs, and calls anyone daring to attempt a discussion not of The True St.Ruth Way cocksmokers, after which he accuses everyone else of being hysterical;
3. Schrodinger’s Douchebag in respect of his sustained commentary to the ladies, walked back when he realised it may impact his ability to project his D grade soapboxery to a wider audience as a minion to Fat Clive;
4. Yes (for me at least) it started with his unwarranted demands – not suggestions, demands – as to how people should commemorate Anzac Day. I will mark the significance of this day as I damn well see fit, and will not be lectured to on this subject by a fucking bus driver who has demonstrated time and again he will not do what he demands of others (ramming border checkpoints in Kenworths – remember that, for a start?) who’s never pulled on a boot himself; and
5. Although plenty of people approved of the Shrine in Melbourne as an appropriate place to hold that most excellent rally supporting this righteous cause – I was not one of them, said so at the time and still think better venues could have been chosen.
He has openly said he posts massive exaggerations if not outright lies to ‘shock’ people. Shock them into what I’m not sure, but supporting this cause will probably not be one of those outcomes – because in my experience, people dislike bullshit artists looking for attention.

Interesting family get together: BIL stridently anti-vax and has had to retire prematurely along with impressionable wife; he is overweight and has comorbidities but expects getting the chunk virus to be just like a bad cold. Another relative who was double vaxxed, and apologetic about it, had the chunk virus and was sick as a dog despite being a fit 50 with no comorbidities. Her son also had the fucking thing, also double vaxxed, young and fit and also sick as a dog. Awkward silences and rants all round.

My two covid jabs back in October do not appear on the bastardised dog’s breakfast of website MyGov.
Rang their 1800 number to whinge, and gave up aster 50 minutes on hold. Emails have disappeared into the ether. Local GP wher I got my jabs were mystified.
A month ago I wouldn’t have given a rat’s ring whether my jabs were recorded or not, but now I have to have this vax passport thingy to go to the cricket or footy or any mid sized pub.
I may have to buy a large handbell and a cloak and walk around bellowing “Unclean” in public.

No, Albanese will be PM because so many people here want to vote Morrison out and many are doing their utmost to convince everyone to do the same.
It is almost assured they will get what they wish for and somehow they must think Australia will be better.
I don’t….
true story.
the missus’ old car left today driven by a young p-plater who only passed his driving test yesterday.
the lad was shaky with excitement and his old man who was hardly 40yo was beaming.
theyd all been thru lock down and quarra after one of his mates tested (+)ve last week and they couldn’t quite believe they’d chanced such a bargain and were still a little suss that it was all too good to be true.
I got the RWC updated last week and the battery was going to shit so I replaced that as well, ran it thru the car wash and filled the tank with petrol.
the boy works at Maccas and got it his VCE results recently.
Science and Teaching is his goal and Monash Uni is where he wants
all I wanted was for some kid to get a good little truck as his first car and for just the right price.
so, to say I’m happy is an understatement.
and it’s the small thing that make you smile
Is the 18 months up yet for the double vaxxies to start karking it?

If he were that close to me I’d head butt him to death. I don[t think i could stand an entire day with Cronkite so close.
Which brings up an interesting theoretical dilemma. If one of the twins say managed to kill the other in the sense that one head would no longer show signs of life, could the other twin be up on murder charges.
If it doesn’t, the to 5, 6, 7….. 100th might. There wont be an end to your 3 monthly injection. Doesn’t seem healthy or a good long term strategy to do that.
I’d rather none of them. We need something new.

I didn’t read too closely. The swordfighting and reflections off Faulty’s tinfoil headgear are disruptive.
I came before you, dear Davos guests and fellow dignatories as the Baker’s Delight Delivery Man. I’m a humble man with very few pretensions other than one day becoming the Prime Minister of Australia. Approximately a year and half ago, I was sitting in my van preparing the daily delivery schedule and I had an apparition. What if, dear fellow dignitaries, what if Australian transport drivers were unable to make deliveries. What then? I then saw the horror of mass starvation. Skinny people eating fat ones…..

Nah. Nanderthal ladies wore little skin skirts. I’ve seen the pictures. 🙂
Easy access for all sorts of things, and egress for menstrual blood which was spookily interesting to ancient societies for they couldn’t understand it at all.
Sadly that is not the case in Britain, with the rapacious Anglican Church looking to profit from sell-offs. There are so many of these little churches that unless some local group cares they can be left to die and be knocked over. Sometimes in fairness to Church authorities they simply do not know what to do with a particular church, isolated in a field where a medieval village once stood, or as with my little church, its very small attending village popSulation having moved three miles to the bigger church in an actual town.
My little church needs expensive underpinning of its tower and has an access problem, due to poor management by the National Trust who have leased the manor that accompanies it. New leasehold residents living in manorial splendour next door in my C17th family’s old manor (some of which dates from 1327 or earlier) don’t want the hoi polloi to visit the church and refuse right of way. At the eleventh hour I have discovered that the Church authorities may buldoze it or sell it for some weird renovation to people who can solve the access problem.
I’m hoping for help and advice from this wonderful charity – been in contact with them already.
Friends of Friendless Churches. See Christmas edition of The Spectator for an article on their work, which is where I found out about them. The link if you scroll shows some of the ‘saved’ churches. Very pretty.
I am wondering if Hairy would like to buy a derelict church requiring 125 thousand pounds worth of underpinning without any access permitted. I don’t think he would think it was a snip. So a go-fund-me appealing to a wider diaspora of family and friends to gather a strong moral argument with outrage about our ancestors seems a better bet. I await advice.
Although plenty of people approved of the Shrine in Melbourne as an appropriate place to hold that most excellent rally supporting this righteous cause – I was not one of them, said so at the time and still think better venues could have been chosen.
KD, I’m happy for anyone to take whatever view they like about the issue as a matter of principle.
But wasn’t the truth that ALPPol (formerly known as VicPol) deliberately herded the protesters to the Shrine so that Maximum Leader and his catamites could gaslight about it?
Whoops, topic change there in the middle of my comment above, I forgot to put in the query above that surely they aren’t allow to bulldoze twelfth century churches just like that. The truth is that they are.

The media and government have a cosy relationship.
They’re trying to manipulate public opinion. They hope it looked authentic.
Here is the charity’s own website, the link above is to the Wikipedia entry about them.
I recall someone saying they were more or less herded there.
Guy who got arrested. Can see the face can’t get the name.
It certainly wasn’t a planned to be at the shrine protest as far as I can tell.
Parliament was the obvious, most appropriate, location.
Dot- having worked in media circles there’s no way this “script” would have ever made it past the lawyers. It would’ve been toned right done to make it cutting, but cute.

Had an interesting incident at Wilcannia one night – young lady who had been on the turps for a couple of days, put her arm through a window and lacerated the radial and ulnar arteries in her left arm. Not just a neat little sever, but longitudinally up the arm from pulling it our of the broken window.
She’d bled quite a lot – blood results at Broken Hill estimated about 60% loss.
Managed to get a paediatric cannula into the vein at the base of her thumb after putting a rubber tourniquet on the arm and winding it down to engorge the vein. Then removed the tourniquet and reapplied it to the upper arm. Filled the arm up with fluid, and managed to get a cubital fossa #14 in.
Was most chuffed at attempt.
Downside was I got called in for difficult cannulations when more junior staff were on.

M:.. he’s got a bullshit fuckin’ excuse and then fell over his own fuckin’ lies, which is what happens, right?
F:..Yeah.
M: That’s what’s happened..
F: And then, him now then ticking he didn’t go to Spain..

Found it!
I don’t know who put it into the Cat, but for some reason, I found it worthwhile…
Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid
as girls are wont to be
I do not need a handsome man
but let him be right for me;
I do not need one big and strong
nor yet so very tall,
nor need he be some genius,
or wealthy, Lord, at all;
but let his head be high, dear God,
and let his eye be clear,
his shoulders straight, whate’er his state,
whate’er his earthly sphere;
and let his face have character,
a ruggedness of soul,
and let his whole life show, dear God,
a singleness of goal;
then when he comes
(as he will come)
with quiet eyes aglow,
I’ll understand that he’s the man
I prayed for long ago.

Don’t diss the Mighty 380, pantsless one.
“Viral loads peak around five to seven days after infection, which correlates with when you’re most likely to have symptoms and so when your RAT is most likely to be reliable. However, if you don’t have an especially high viral load or enough antigens, a RAT will be negative even if you are in the early stages of infection.
The levels of detectable antigen also change over time so yesterday’s negative RAT doesn’t explain away today’s nasty headache or tomorrow’s annoying cough. Though a positive RAT reliably tells us everything we need to know, a negative RAT rules out nothing.”
Wrong; it doesn’t rule out why did you bother to test in the first place.
In fact why does anyone bother to test, outside of a hospital setting?
the Grdauian worm turns
Only if it washes off after four months.
That’s my understanding, also.
It became the Alamo (sans Custer).
Talk about nail it perfectly in place (from the DailyMail):
DAN WOOTTON: Djokovic is the whipping boy for angry Australians who realise their two-year obsession with zero-Covid has done their country more harm than good but still can’t bring themselves to admit it
A sample:
Yes, a great many Australians have proven themselves to be gullible, nasty little fuckers who wouldn’t be out of place in 1938 Germany.
I now know it. The world now knows it. The only one’s who don’t yet know it are those gullible, nasty little fuckers themselves.
Can You Trust the NY Times?
The Covid hysteria has been intentionally aimed at women, same as all hysterias.
Blokes couldn’t give a fuck, though they’re not generally well informed either.
The fires are starting up again too.
How crooked are the USA’s voter rolls?
Jay Valentine uncovers the biggest can of worms by some very clever data debugging. Various Secretaries of State are implicated.

Yes, but mainly total control of Covid response by public health bureaucrats. They take a lot of convincing to allow any sort of consideration. And absolutely everything must be approved by the state CHO. Who is a bit busy.
Thanks for the toons Tom. Not missing David Rowe:)
Shows that understanding human weaknesses is just as important as remembering dates to insulate against repeating past mistakes, Mater.
Yes, and both come from thorough and accurate study of history, something sorely lacking in our education system for more than 30-40 years.
isolation rules relaxed for critical workers in nsw and qld 2 days ago
Excellent piece put up by Mater.
It’s an attempt at deflection, of course, by our betters. The joint’s in tatters, Steiner is most certainly not coming for the Federal or Victorian governments, a whipping boy is required and even then they fucked it up.
Yesterday the headline was pig heart used in human transplant.
Much laughter ensued.
Today a lot of journals are following it up with the details on how the pig heart was “gene edited”.
This is the thin edge of the CRISPR wedge.
If you thought gain of function research was dicey, get a load of CRISPR.
Arrogance is the problem, Mater.
Thinking oneself to clever to be manipulated.
Once again, Jeannette Young – is she Queensland Governor yet? – showed the plebs what’s what when it comes to important things.
Hanks and Clooney can come to Queensland because they apparently bring money. Lots of money. Fathers of infant cancer patients cannot see their children, and sons of dying pancreatic cancer sufferers couldn’t see them in Queensland hospitals because ‘one rule for all’.
Queensland schools shut down to teach those mouthy parents a lesson.
One rule for all, you dumb as mud everyday people. One rule for all. Of you.
So the punters can fly into the GC & party but QLD schools are closed.
Makes perfect sense.
Demonstrates the strength of teachers unions.
NB: Queensland used as an example only. The same has occurred in every State and Territory.
In a further example, apparently Parliamentarians get access to mountains of free RAT testing, yet make ‘rules for all’ on the basis that everyone has thousands of them lying behind the couch.
I haven’t needed one yet in this fair State of Victoria, nor do I intend to have one, but thousands of people do. And they can’t get them. And they need them to get their bills paid.
It’s like issuing decrees that every residence must have a circular staircase and a grand piano.
Funny the Djoker arsehole comments coming from channel 7’s Rebecca Maddern as my wife noticed the fake smiles between meteorologist Jane Bunn and Maddern before the incident came to light.
In female fashion she noticed a snippy comment that went Jane’s way from Maddern that I never picked up on.
My wife said “No love lost there I’d say. Rebecca doesn’t like Jane because everyone loves Jane.”
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

BTW, Bern, thanks for that.
It’s the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in months.
I feel a man crush coming on!
Coatsworth on Se7en. Paraphrased:
‘RATs aren’t all that accurate. If you’re crook, stay home for a couple of days if you can.’
Right now the minions will be searching his genealogy, hoping to find a European ancestor so they can deport him.
Settle Mater.
Ted Cruz must see his political life flashing before his eyes.
He’s finally used his position to question the FBI on things that have been known for almost 6 months.
From the Oz via Adam’s Cat & Mak Siccar.
Morrison’s obsession with pub politics has exposed him as a populist drunk, more focused on low-rent politics than sensible policy that is becoming of a leader.
Absolutely perfect.

“Albosleazy, a man unfit for any office, whose raison d’etre is fighting non-existent “Tories”, will be out next PM, thanks to the perpetual spinelessness and ineptitude of Scumbag Morrison and the Coalition.”
No, Albanese will be PM because so many people here want to vote Morrison out and many are doing their utmost to convince everyone to do the same.
Rubbish. Clearly you’re happy to continue to continue with the same nauseating mediocrity that we’ve had from Morrison and co. The way Morrison has handled Covid and the state premiers has been disgraceful. And that’s before we even discuss the Morrison government’s endless spinelessness, supineness, cravennous and cowardice in standing up for so called right of centre ideas and policies.
It is almost assured they will get what they wish for and somehow they must think Australia will be better.
I don’t….”
Nobody HERE thinks Australia will be better off under an Albanese Labor government….but you know what, I and many others here have had it with supposed coalition governments, who are supposed to pursue or even try to pursue right of centre policies, yet all they do is pursue and implement Labor lite policies……and here’s a recent example – net zero emissions.
By the way, the Liberal party once stood for free speech, individual liberty, small and medium size businesses, religious liberty, middle Australia, the lifters in our society…not the leaners. That Liberal party has been trashed…by the likes of Scumbag Morrison.
Oh and why should I continue to vote for a man and party that likes to defecate on its supporters? And whilst we’re on the topic of loyalty and Morrison….let’s look at the following…..
1. Bettina Arndt – infamously censored in the senate when the coalition sided with Labor and the Greens
2. Craig Kelly – a man smeared by the left for years and who Morrison and co decided to try and silence by siding with Labor and the Greens
3. Christian Porter – where do I start with this. Apparently he was guilty until proven innocent….so much for common law
4. George Christensen – another man smeared by the left for years and who Morrison and co decided to try and silence by siding with Labor and the Greens
5. Alan Tudge – like Porter…guilty until proven innocent….so much for common law
6. Christine Holgate – a rather effective head of Australia Post, who Morrison vindictively decided to smear and destroy for petty politics.
Do we want more of this?
I don’t.
Driving to the office this morning at 6:30, there was an old guy walking his dog…with a mask on…
If he wasn’t a boomer, it would have been heartbreaking.
I don’t speak for Digger but I took it as caution to be careful what whish for, you may not like what you get.
A big shortage of cat food in the supermarkets.
Bloody pensioners!
Zatara if you scroll by this later, did you see the footage of Andrew Luck yesterday.
He wasn’t on the Australian coverage that I saw.
How do you go from being an NFL player to looking like you have cancer while in your mid-30’s?
