Cite you the factoryhand who lost the first two fingers off his right hand, and didn’t realize the loss, until the time came to say “goodnight” to the foreman..
I met a British Army officer in London, whose party trick was to shake hands, while watching the face of the person he was greeting. As a result of an unfortunate incident in Northern Ireland, his right hand consisted of a thumb, index finger, and about half of his palm. An unusual sensation!
Nope, that’s current.
Flooding cut the Trans-Australia line between Port Augusta and Tarcoola last week. And it took out part of the Stuart Highway, too. Eyre Highway is open for the time being.
Comservative estimate to rebuild the washaways and reopen the line was about 7-12 days. And that was assuming the access roads dried out enough to get the earthmoving equipment and ballast in.
It would be uncharted/ interesting territory if enough states proved their results were shaky.
The result can’t change and the courts dealt themselves out of it in cowardice.
There would be no official remedy and if the Repubs had the house they could effectively block everything citing possible illegitimacy.
Very interesting times.
Biden would be reduced to ruling by presidential order and if a supreme dropped off the twig I couldn’t see any replacement being approved.
They are going to love middle age.
It seems that the chronology for the Karen’s makes them mainly generation X. A cause for some great shame really, I always thought that generation were quietly keeping out of things.
Well now, here’s Philip Larkin.
A favourite poem of Christopher Hitchens. And of me.
is that the 2016 election was fair and
They cheated then too.
True but it is was pre chunk virus and just the usual reflexive demorat stuff. 2020 was hard-core cheating and they will up the ante again.

IIRC, a very junior Yamamoto lost a finger at Tsushima.
Didn’t he warn the pollies in Tokyo his guys would run riot in the Pacific for a couple years, then the Americans would obliterate them?
His estimate was six months, which is almost precisely the period from 7 December 1941 (Pearl Harbor) to 6 June 1942 (Midway). Coral Sea was a setback, but not a disaster, so it doesn’t count towards the estimate.
It is the mark of an intelligent mind to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting it.
Custard, please post to your heart’s content on this.
Some may be unable to (for reasons as per above quote) discern between discussing an idea & making a categoric statement.
…. however most of us are well able to make such distinction.

Auntie Bet, who was more embracing of my childhood idiosyncrasies than most. Yes – they were of “darkish” skin, but it never occurred to me – and nothing was said at the time – that they were of indigenous background. Both lovely women, with none of the “bitchiness’ of the other side of the family’s women!
Have a relatives like that, however your description reminded me of one of them. She was particularly like that and is still asks after all her nieces and nephews years later. I never knew any indigenous connection till I was an older adult and she has apparently denied it. Only then I put 2 & 2 together with hers and the other relatives from that line olive skin and features none of the rest of the family have. That is why I despise this recent them and us rubbish.
Both sides cheated.

Cyrus the Great was a very interesting guy. Lots of historical sources you can access to read about him. Unfortunately his progeny were not up to scratch as Xenophon could tell you, painfully.

Where did you say you read the Ivan Southall account of the Sunderland vs 8 x Ju88?
Is this the one where the manoeuvring was so ferocious that they permanently warped the Sunderland’s airframe?
Custard, as a former independent candidate, you might find this interesting. Simeon Boikov (Aussie Cossack) talks about the difficulties of standing as an independent candidate in NSW state elections. They have very tight funding restrictions which don’t apply to the parties, they are trying to force the independents out of the election process.
The Aussie Cossack (Simeon Boikov) confirms his intention to focus his election campaign on the Federal Seat of Reid. Questions and Answers with Solicitor Kyle Kutasi from Solve Legal & Stephen Moss founder of BullionFX.

You really are a poisonous inbred , Drills. The Custard he can post whatever he wants. First off it isn’t my site and secondly I’d encourage him to. However, he’s not entitled to go unchallenged, which is what I said. Now fuck off you dishonest lowlife. Go clean the bar you valor thief. Now wonder you get along with Mark L Canberra. You’re both as dishonest as each other.

I’ve been reading Don Surber for at least a decade. He was a veteran journo at the Charleston Gazette-Mail where he had this newfangled thing called “a blog”. Lurked for years until Uhlmann (or maybe Brissenden, I forget) did a hit piece on WV (squalor, misery, drugs etc), which I alerted Surber to. Led to some fun. But then the Gazette went proto-woke and fired Surber for dastardly rightiness. Whereupon he started his blog which has gone wonderfully.
So memo to Dot, if you move to WV don’t do so to the capital, which is a tiny lefty ghetto in a sea of red. Instead move to some place like Poca, where Surber lives.

Fake news blacklist
In 2019, Poynter used various “fake news” databases (including those curated by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, Merrimack College, PolitiFact, and Snopes) to compile a list of over 515 news websites that it labeled “unreliable”. Poynter called on advertisers to “blacklist” the sites on the list. The list included conservative news websites such as the Washington Examiner, The Washington Free Beacon, and The Daily Signal. After backlash, Poynter retracted the list, citing “weaknesses in the methodology”.[26] Poynter issued a statement, saying: “We regret that we failed to ensure that the data was rigorous before publication, and apologize for the confusion and agitation caused by its publication.”[27] Reason magazine says that in May 2019, the Poynter Institute was forced to retract a List of 500 Fake news Sites, many of them conservative news and Think tank websites, when it emerged that the list in itself was unreliable as it had been written by a Southern Poverty Law Center Podcast Producer.[28]
Custard
GFY too, you delusional twat. Go sell caravans instead of posting ridiculous swill on blogs. It’s just low IQ shit and there’s no reason to pretend otherwise. Let’s rinse and repeat.. There’s zero fucking chance Trump will return before 24. Zero. It doesn’t matter if every state been slung over to the Demonrat side by fraud and the electorate found out. The deal was done and Brandon will be president either for the term of if they article 25 him out of office for being demented loon. Stop posting your dreams on the site pretending its well thought out. It’s idiocy.

I maybe in the market for caravan soon, whats the best brand?
Yeah nah, dunno about that. Was it because they didn’t want to be associated with Christians, or that they didn’t want to stand in the way while Australian elites attacked Christians?
They obviously realise that they live in a country ruled by elites who, while the methods may be different, have the same aim as them i.e. to destroy Christianity.
Have you got the balls to bet big on being able to back up even one of your assertations made at 6.42pm?
If not, how about you STFU & cease polluting the blog.
Thanks Rex. The bloke on the radio (I didn’t get his name) was talking about an outage of four to six weeks, not just a few days. He may have been using climate change modelling calculator to arrive at an outage of that length.
He said that there were five or six freight trains per week coming into Perth, each with around 120 carriages stocked with items for our supermarkets, so we should expect shortages of a lot of items. I thought that was good news, I really liked those supermarket fights for the last roll of toilet paper.
I swear the dorpers down in back paddock have more brains than some of the towns people around Casa Pedro.
I just saw a woman on a pushbike and and an old fella in a gopher trundling along, both wearing face nappies.

In The Oz today, opinion is that Scotty is a great campaigner and he can still win. a 4th Term for the Coalition.
I’d tend to agree, the Labor Campaign will be Schizophrenic.
In the Cities, they’ll be campaigning that they believe in NetZero and Scotty doesn’t, in the CoalMining Seats they’ll be saying:
“Whattabout that Barnaby Joyce, hey, he signed on for NetZero?”
That’s no way to run a campaign, so they’ll need al hands on deck at MurdochVille and The Commentariat to squeak over the line.
Appeared in my news feed this morining.
Completely gratuitous.
But really the Libs have only themselves to blame.
I’m not too sure about Sinema, I think she voted against the filibuster but voted for the federal overhaul of elections. Razorfist (I know, I know, but he is from her state) has some pretty pointed opinions on the woman and her public persona versus actual record.
Looks like a big yellow taxi is taking aging performers off Spotify.
As long as they leave Heather Alexander wand especially her March of Caimbraith on I’m ok with that.
Voted against the abolishment of the filibuster that is.
Oh right here, you numbskull. It took about 3 seconds to find the stupid comment.
Custard, which small political party are you ball-licking this turn?
Driller
Fuck off, stop trolling because you’re all grudged up.
That bad huh?
Give it up JC you’re a moron.
Dératisation is my French word of the day.
When I was looking for a place to stay most of the airbnb near the port/in the old town were fourth floor walk ups, which me and my suitcase did not fancy so I opted for a more modern building with a lift.
As it turned out it was a ground floor but well above the old city, the ‘rue’ to get there is actually a 140 step staircase plus either another 40 step staircase and a steep road or just more steep road to get there. But my host picked me up from the railway station and is driving me to the ferry port so not so bad.
The steep road has a section of broken footpath where I had my first rat encounter, there is clearly an extensive and well excavated nest underneath. I even have a photo of a rat looking out their emergency exit after I shooed them the first time we met. Then as I walked further up, I could see more rats milling around under the big rubbish bins and as I approached they slinked into gaps in the stone wall behind.
No doubt the rats think the human inhabitants are the perfect Uber Eats delivery service.
I’ve seen the odd rat in Europe before and they are a problem at home, because of the creek, but I’ve never seen such numbers, especially in broad daylight.
I suspect most residents in the apartments don’t notice because they all drive in and out.
Anyhow I told my hosts, who live in the apartment above, and they have notified the mairie who are now have ‘dératisation’ in course.
I’ve been imaging someone jackhammering the broken section of the footpath to repair it, and dozens of rats making a hasty exit.
I won’t be here to see if that happens. 🙁
Barty!

Custard
You’re the moron.
1. You made a demented claim
2. You get challenged on the stupidity of the claim.
3. You then deny you made the claim
4. When your words are presented to you, you then accuse the person of being a moron.
Thank God you’re still selling caravans and nowhere near the parliament. You’re not smart enough to be handing out towels in the men’s room. You fucking idiot, there zero chance Trump will make it back to the White House this term of office by any realistic conditions.
Grogs, were you born a moron, or did it take long practice?
That’s just SCT, who do palletised and parcel stuff for the supermarkets, Big W and so forth. And latterly freight forwarders Sadleirs and now BlueScope Steel. Pacific National run 2-3 trains in each direction daily into and out of Perth. Covering motor vehicles, Aurizon/Linfox freight, Lindsay refrigerated transport (produce) and all manner of other internal and export freight traffic.
They come in usually in the wee hours of the morning, through to breakfast time. The hotshots to Sydney and Adelaide leave in the mid-afternoon to early evening out of Kewdale, and there are 2 more trains fully assembled and lined up next to each other at the yard mouth for departures around 8pm and 11pm-1am every night. It’s a heck of a sight to see.
All the interstaters are about 1800 metres long and about 110-20 wagons (The official numbers will vary- Many of the container flats and double-stackers are actually 4-5 platforms with common bogies, joined by solid drawbars and counted as a single wagon) with 2-3x 4,000HP locos in the lead.
Breaking news, Rosie.
Old European towns were built on hills for defensive purposes.
That means steps.
Lotsa steps.

“Not just Christianity but each of the “Abrahamic faiths” (used advisedly).
Muslims acted as appeasers in the hope the prog-left crocodile will eat them last!”
To be fair, some Islamic leaders did speak up against SSM back in 2017, they just weren’t attacked and mocked like Christians were.
Congrats, Ash.
Be a champion for all Australians.
Sinema is just another example of how needy and gullible some conservatives are.

Fuck off Driller. Go dust the bar. There are no “unprecedented” chances of a Trump come back before 24. None. Zilch. There may be in Custard’s stupid head though.
I think you’re right, but for one detail.
The Dems were angry in 2016 because they didn’t get away with it.
The Right (and I don’t mean the GOP) are angry now because the Dems did get away with it.
It’s the difference between childish frustration and righteous anger.
“Those in authority – Ali Khoudry, et. al. – took the view that they didn’t want to lend Christians their support at that moment.”
Yep..and he and others didn’t speak out against the demonisation, the smearing, the ridicule and the physical and verbal attacks on Christians.

Both have extremely conservative electorates which have moved further right under the old grub biden. That is what is driving them to now oppose the more extreme of biden’s policies. But neither would have the guts to resist the demorat base if push comes to shove. I anticipate the old creep’s newly formed DOJ team to fight domestic terrorism will uncover some bullshit prior to the election and things will flow from that. Manchin and sinema won’t resist that impetus.

It seems, by and large, that attitudes to vaxxes roughly align with political preference. These old codgers (once young and hip and talented) have always been progressives. It makes sense that they would be aligning them with their preferred government’s dictates.
The fact that the progressives have now become the Establishment will not have occurred to them. They have been the wealthy adored for so long now it is second nature.
It isn’t generational. It’s human frailty.

Great to see the result in the tennis, and well done to miss Barty, who showed great spirit and courage to come back form 1-6 down in the second set to win it in 2 sets.
But the most interesting thing was that before the game the previous Australian female to win the Australian Open, one Chris O’Neil was highlighted and shown in the crowd. Quite appropriate.
However, zero mention of a certain other Australian who won it 11 times: 1973, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960.

No, none of that, apart from the young wife driving herself around madly here and there and doing some unaccountable sleuthing. Kristen Scott-Thomas is Danvers, but not nearly malevolent enough. Maxim is a bit of an angry sop, not remotely as sultry as Olivier.

Agree….I think (hope) Margaret was in the audience. I was happy to see Yvonne Goolagong present the award because she’d been Ash’s heroine since childhood.
Margaret Court will always be the GOAT female tennis player.
Personally I loathe Tennis Australia for its politics and hypocrisy, I only watched it tonight in the hope that Ash would win and she did!
That was part and parcel of the deal, but it was always implied.
No ethics, no integrity and no lenders. That sums you up, Driller. Keep this in your tiny head. Any blowharding, narcissistic pubbling, outbacking or Croc Dundeeing… any of those offensive comments will be met very harshly. That’s the pub test.

Oh boyo boy.
You have serious mental issues dude.
Seek help, asap.
Professional help, the paid type. Seriously dude, you’ve got wombats loose in the belfry.
It’s incredible isn’t it.
There is not single post JC could point to where I said what he alleges.
He is just a nasty annoying troll .
Kerry Spacker has hit the cask wine and obviously been knocked back for his weekly hand shandy by the hired help.
Driller
You’re the biggest blowhard fuckwit here. You’re just hurt because you were called up on your blowharding trying to suggest you’re a best one man HR dept in the country. Since you were mocked and laughed at, you’ve spent the entire evening grudge trolling. Go dust the empty bar.

Stop trying to sound smart and relevant, you goose.

It’s never to late to become a better person. Sean Penn:
Shit plane but.
Dear god, why?
Elvis is more relevant than you’d ever know you crushing moron.
Hehe, yes they think the Cafe is a fine place too, on account of customer eating habits (which tend to be messy, especially the currawongs). So I have two catcher traps, and every now and then lay them. Whereupon rat gets taken far far away to the park, and let go in the bush where UberEats are no longer to be found.
Custard
I know, I’m stupid, I’m a moron and I’m crushing. However, you still haven’t explained to us what are these possible set of events that would return Trump to the White House before 2024.
If not for me, can you please elaborate to the readership wanting to hear more about your energetic theories. By the way, which party have you latched onto this time. Please say it’s not the greens.
Dunno – the Soviet Air Force seems to have known how to handle that aircraft – Soviet pilots notched up the highest number of kills attributed to any U.S. fighter type flown by any air force in any conflict.
Jupes, did Sean Penn have any thoughts on blokes who beat the living suitcase out of their bride with a bat?

Amazing night aerial view of the city and car lights with the sound of nonstop honking for the freedom convoy in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada filmed at 11h pm last night. Thousands of people from all over the country have gathered in the capital city for a mega protest this weekend.

I don’t have the definitive theory you are asking for.
Events are still unfolding.
Now just, fuck off!
This statement of the bleeding obvious* will not be well received by St Ruth, Eddles and the Hammock Dweller.
*From a notorious Hollyweirdo, no less (who hasn’t shot anyone this week – yet).
You will never own me .
Everyone knows who I am.
No one or very few knows who you are.
You are just an anonymous internet troll.
GFY.
It’s good to see the usual boomers getting upset over a generalisation about boomers too. Obviously it touches a nerve with the usual suspects and the top sorts amongst this crowd realise that a general rant probably doesn’t apply to them.
Touchy much?
Anyway, boomers, the biggest single voting block in history during perhaps the most prosperous period in history.
Covfefe, custard.
Covfefe.
I’ll log on again tomorrow morning and see the moronic response from the troll.
Yes well, unlike you Coves, nobody is perfect, even my beloved Miss Ellie. Young peoples, especially those of an artistic bent, will invariably see themselves as collectivists. Some of them, like the mighty Kate Bush, will grow out of it.
I’m not asking for a definitive theory -whatever that means. And what events are just unfolding? There’s nothing I’ve seen that would allow Trump to enter the White House as president before 2024. Tell us Mufti, what are these unprecedented events?
Trust me Custard, even I wouldn’t bid for you at the slave auctions.
I don’t. I think you once posted your name and then went back to this silly blog name. I don’t and really don’t care as I’m sure most people here feel that way too.
Okay
Sure, but what’s that got to do with explaining your theories? This is really a very stupid comment. Your supposed name recognition compared to me has zero to do with your unprecedented theories theory. You’re delusional.
Covfefe
Isn’t that the dregs you can’t quite get out of the shriveled cask bladder while you’re waiting for Conchita Jorge Sanchez to finish cleaning the kids toilet before tending to ‘bigger’ things?
Dot,
Chesterfield are a stronger cigarette.
We used to have proper cigarettes.
Craven A, Rothmans.
Then the health Nazis attacked.
Life wasn’t the same.
These days even nostalgia isn’t as good as it was.
For all those delusional clowns existing on this continent 🙂
Not quite sure which kiwi is the stupidest here.
pregnant New Zealand journalist remains stranded in Afghanistan
The 2020 election results aren’t going to be reversed BUT it’s absolutely essential to autopsy the hell out of that utter shitshow. The fact that the Dems have been fighting savagely to block any efforts to investigate the multiple problems with the election is a pretty clear signal that there’s something they want to hide. The propaganda barrage has been unprecedented. You’d be crazy to stop digging.
Finding out what happened during the 2020 election isn’t being transfixed on the past, or being backwards-focused. This will have enormous consequences for future elections.
Gauloises Blue were thought to be fearfully sophisticated…
I resemble that remark!
Is it just me or does Grace Tame give off distinct Greta Thunberg vibes?
They even share initials.
Word.

Afganistan might be a sand war-torn wasteland but for sure, but their Radiologists and Technicians keep powering on.
so glad the keep open channels with j’ismists from the Daily Mail
Hey, don’t blame me for them spending your inheritance.
Custard is the one selling them the caravans.
Zulu,
I smoked Gitanes for a while.
Even more sophisticated.
As if I needed a prop.
Gauloises and Gitanes, the cigarettes we smoked back in year 12, thanks to my best mate, who always thought himself way too sophisticated for our ‘umble suburban surroundings …
Their corrupting influence is perfectly illustrated in this photograph*, courtesy of the Giuranaid …
*Serge Gionbsarug, a famous Gitanes smoker, with la épouse, Jan Birkin.
Of course it does.
Study it.
Learn from it.
Try to prevent it happening again.
But if Donald runs in 2024 bitching about The Big Steal he will lose bigly.
And really lose (not just stuffed ballot boxes).
Firstly, it will come across as being all about him.
Secondly, it projects as being about the past with no vision for the future.
These are the sort of attitudes which cost Hillary in 2016.
la Birkin
A bit of a Mademoiselle Ellie in her day.
A squad of soldiers smoking Sobranie Cocktails.
Nothing speaks more of sophistication than that.
I used to be pleased my parents went overseas a lot.
Until I realised they were SKINning me.
Rabz,
One would have been up her like a rat up a drainpipe.
Now this is more like it – la Birkin … 🙂

We’ll never know what happened in 2020 because as time passes it will be impossible. We do know that Fuckerberg spent US$400 million plus on vote harvesting and ensuring ballots were left in the street so they could be further gamed.
The problem with US elections is that there’s no audit trail. You can be therefore be 100% certain that under these circumstances there will be cheating. This is possibly the biggest single problem the US has. Elections can be gamed until the system can be audited and there’s not much going on to mend the system. It’s diabolical.
Either Gauloise, or Gitanes, lit at a party or a nightclub, got you accused of smoking dope..
Um no
Now I don’t think that Trump should harp on a great deal about the stolen 2020 election if he runs in 2024. There will be far more productive things to talk about. However, if he runs, he’ll be running against a party that nominated Hillary, the most disliked woman in the world, and felt utterly assured she would win in 2016. In 2020, the party nominated a drooling vegetable and then blatantly cheated to ensure he won. (What could possibly go wrong?) In 2024, they’re probably going to put up some empty suit like Buttjudge.
After a term of Biden, Trump could bitch about just about anything he wants in 2024 and win without breaking a sweat.
Wasn’t there a song? “J’Taime” that was supposed to have been recorded with a background sound track of an orgasm? Asking for a friend..
We may not know exactly what happened but it should definitely be possible to uncover enough wrongdoing to put the result in doubt in the minds of a critical mass of the population.

That would explain Mrs. Clinton’s “Flowers in the Attic” style meltdown on election night.
She was livid that they’d believed their own bullshit about Trump’s unpopularity & consequently not arranged for Santa to deliver enough votes to nullify the scale of the Trump win.
There is a bigger structural problem.
That is, the voting conventions of the Electoral College.
With the exception of Maine and Nebraska (fuck all EC votes anyway) all other states have a “winner takes all” system for allocating EC votes.
So, the 30 EC votes in Florida can turn on 500 individual votes stuffed in a box in Upper Bumfuck West.
Remember Hanging Chad?
If the EC votes were more proportional, fixing would become infinitely harder.
before indolent gets a chance to post it, at new York post
The punters already know. I mentioned it to the halfwit Custard that 59% ,in a Rassie poll, believed the election was bullshit.
Trump would win in a laydown if he did one thing and one thing only. Trump needs to tell the punters that he would fix elections once and for all.
I assume by “fix” you mean “correct”?
Not … “fix”?
