Sancho, here you go…saw both of them fly a few times, and was allowed to have a close-up in their hangars a few times:

More privilege,
Spent 6 years hard at an institution.
Cold burgoo in the morning.
That was the highlight of the day.
Bromide in the tea. Well that didn’t work.
Most of my fellow inmates were ghastly.
Beatings were frequent.
I don’t think people are allowed to do that sort of thing now.
I understand it is the top Jewish Schule in Australia these days. -
Kelly Hoare, Miltonf, is one of the many beneficiaries of that venerable Newcastle Labor tradition of inheriting the family seat. IIRC, she regularly topped the press gallery’s poll for the most useless federal MP. My sources in Newcastle say there was a bit of wounded local pride when head office dumped her for Greg Connect, but it didn’t last long when they saw the benefits of having a competent local member.

Went to pick up my dins at the very busy Chinese restaurant and they’re only doing take-out
Come on, man!
Get the wok out.
We had sweet and sour fish for dinner.
Home-made.
You know that sludgy sweet-and-sour you get in food courts?
Nothing like that.
Crispy battered fish chunks, fresh veggies.
Yum. -

Hi Struth, hope you’re well!. The Canadian stuff is fun. You’re a pioneer! Truly.
Ditch the witch should be a sign in the Quebec protests, Trudy being very witchy.Those polite Canadians seem to have opted for a more direct: “Fuck Trudeau”
This presents CBC with quite some difficulty in spinning the intent & meaning.

Speaking of which, I reckon PvO’s stunt was directly related to his Grace Tame piece.He was seeking redemption.”
I’ve thought the same thing Roger. He’s been on the run since last Wednesday….so today he thought he’d be able to crawl his way back to being in good favour with his fellow progressive scum.
Mind you, he’s scum too.

My apologies if this has already been posted, this is the second part of Prof. David Flint’s interview with Craig Kelly.

Hairy and I spend every Boxing Day with my rellies in Nowra.
They are salt of the Aussie earth. Living the dream in a project home.
Caravan, car, boat, dog, cat and three great teenage kids.
I am their Great Aunt. All my brother’s kids and their families.Currently I am feeling a bit crook, sore arm, Hairy trying to explain something to me on a map and I simply cannot pay attention to it. Brain fog setting in. He thinks it serves me right for fighting on Catallaxy all day, but I say I wasn’t fit to do anything else. Anyway, it started this morning, before the Chicken Pox attenuated jab got into my brain. I wish she hadn’t drawn blood with the jab.

Give it to them now, otherwise you’ll have to sell it when you go into a nursing home.
Not bloody likely, Cohenite! Nursing home? Good grief!
I have pretty good genes. Mum & day stayed in their family home until the day each died. Mum pretty much chain smoked from late teens to when she died at 84 – & not of lung cancer! Dad, who obviously was a passive smoker in the house all those years lived till 91 & I think died of loneliness after she had gone. He lasted only a year after her death. He reckoned X-rays showed “a shadow” on his lung for a long time, but never diagnosed with lung cancer.
Mum had virtually no regular exercise after she contracted Ross River fever in her 60s. Was bedridden for a couple of years. Dad, on the other hand, walked for an hour a day from the day he retired. They both ate healthy food and were teetotallers all their life.

Don’t argue it’s the science. They should think themselves lucky they can get a take-away coffee.

I take it they can still go to supermarkets?
If so the above list is just punitive and nothing to do with public health (to state the obvious).
And most West Australians are on board with it.
Revealing.

I can’t figure how anyone would want to live any further than the northern NSW boarder if that.
She contracted Ross River Fever during a visit to a relative on the Atherton Tablelands in Qld. Not sure if it was actually contracted in that region, or in the extended car journey north from NSW into northern Qld.

Jeez, this is not going to get Tulsi a speaker’s spot at the next Demonrat convention.
Tulsi Gabbard ?

Biden chose Harris as his VP because of the color of her skin and sex—not qualification. She’s been a disaster. Now he promises to choose Supreme Court nominee on the same?criteria.?Identity politics is destroying our country. -
Installed most of dewatering gear today. Slab of shed now 30mm above water level. 50Lpm pump and 1000m of poly pipe installed. Installing the pipe I realised the inadequacy of the whole installation, walking down the paddock it’s not just around the shed area that’s the problem, the whole paddock has 4” of water over it! That’s what 6” of rain in one downpour will do!

WA used to have skewed demographics that included more white collar than elsewhere, not sure if it is still the case. Might have something to do with it, more bugmen per square inch.
Rest assured the 14 born and bred West Aussies like myself, Custard and a few other top sorts are dead against this rubbish.
It’s the bloody kiwis, poms, Scots, corporate instaho’s and mong eastern staters that reside here that are buggering it up.
Now, what’s this about skewered demographics?

Hey Struth,
How are you?
What’s new?
You’re like the prodigal son.And Hello BoN.
I’m fine, hope you are all well.I’ve got a bit going on up here fighting and we haven’t lost yet.
I must admit in getting a bit tired , because as you know, I’ve been fighting this bullshit from the start, so now around me people are waking up and getting angry. So they are just starting to fight. No matter what, the worst is over for people like me. Even if they put me in a camp, …. because we are no longer screaming into an empty void of lost souls and propaganda victims. So the recently angry are energising me and rallies and protests are happening. Schools can’t resume up here due to lack of teachers. 90% jabbed, my hairy arse. So much going on. I don’t come here very often at the moment because there is no fight, no real reason to..
You’ve all worked it out and taken your positions. ….. Either like minds or those who have submitted and don’t want to know or talk about it anymore.
Everyone’s taken their positions, and those that are going to endlessly jab themselves to death have heard all the arguments against doing so.
Time and again.
It’s not the gibbering mess of covid fear it was for over a year and a half, and those being honest will admit that it was.I save things over on the furniture shop and get stuck in on twitter and facebook and facebook groups, and also with new friends here in the real world, although I am not sure how much longer the Furniture shop will be there, because I fear we may have lost NFA, who set it up. A good man who did something when needed and most used it when the old cat went down, which is why he started it.
I do my occassional word walls over there were people can decide whether to read them or not.
I do feel I owe NFA to keep it running in case he is not dead, as I have limited admin powers, like getting rid of bird.
I think that’s the main reason I post there.
Just in case he is still alive in the Philipines.My convoy was only small compared to the Canadians who are showing us how it’s done.
But I still remember the people cheering us on, on the sides of the roads.
There are very many parallels.
Media reactions, etc.
I may be wrong but I don’t think they’ll get Trudeau out.
He is a WEF plant, basically, as Klaus admits, ….”brags” might be a better word, and so he won’t be allowed to step down, this is a war, but the convoy will ultimately and has already been a success.
It depends on your definition of success. Saving the entire world from the tyranny of the Davos monsters, highly unlikely, but inspiring people and giving them confidence to fight, most definitely.
They won when they moved off and the first people cheered them on. It will probably all turn to shit but they have still won.
They have inspired similar protests world wide.
Bloody Australia doesn’t have any owner drivers left to speak of, so it wasn’t going to big here, and many of the trucks I saw were club plated.
The goal has to be to get the silent majority noisy. -

This is the moment a freedom convoy of truckies inspired by their Canadian counterparts rolled into Canberra. PLEASE SUPPORT: http://ConvoyReports.com -
Crosby Stills and Nash were some of the best harmonists ever, rivalled only by Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys. Neil Young was and still is a hopeless whiny singer and his songs are woke, mournful and maudlin. I think he basically ruined CS&N. But I can almost forgive him because of this:
Southern Man live, extended version, all fucking magnificent 14 minutes of it.

Cappuccino.
Allegedly.
Brewed and stewed black coffee.
Whipped cream from a can sprayed on top.
Covered with “hundreds and thousands”.A Whatthefucko?

What is the definition of gay?How about a bloke with a man-bun, riding a scooter with his fucking mask on? Saw that homo today.
Not 100% homo without his masked and man bunned mate on the back.
I (regrettably) can top this, jupes.
Bringing my container shuttle out of North Quay about 2pm, I witnessed no less than 4 old farts on Vespas going full Quadrophenia past the vehicle landing wharf on Beach Street.
I was still clearing a 20kph temporary speed restriction over the rail bridge, so there was nothing I could do to escape swiftly.
Fortunately, it was still not as gay as Twilight…

No no. Vespas are kind of cool. Think Gregory Peck on a Vespa dinking Audrey Hepburn. The bloke I saw was on an electric version of the type of scooter I had as a two year old.

By the way, I’m not sure if I posted anything about it, but we got Malcolm Roberts to come to our protest and he didn’t hold back. Magnificent little bloke. Had a good chat to him about my concerns regards election integrity.
Just fast forward to Malcolm from memory around the 30 min mark. -
A good word for Nowra. The young ones serving in shops are great, happy kids, they actually talk to you and don’t grunt. The fresh fish and meat market and the vege/deli is one of the best anywhere. Corner of Princes Hwy and Moss Street. The fish and meat market has so many differing varieties you could have something different every day for a year at least. The quality at both is amazing.

Canada
Health officials are hinting at ending COVID restrictions (and not because of the truckers)
Sure, it’s just a coincidence that they’re starting to climb down.

Bushkid is female? Really?I’ve no intention of offering you personal proof, JC, but yes, I am in fact female; happily totally biologically so, have been all my life, in possession of the appropriate chromosomal and hormonal composition and outward appearance of being female, without any need for surgical tinkering to create or maintain the fact of being female.
