    I just read that Liz Mitchell (BoneyM) is 73.
    Nah, can’t be. That would make me….
    She was in my never humble opinion the best looking woman of the disco era, with the best voice. “By the rivers of Babylon….”

    Yes, she has a lovely voice and is an attractive lady.

    Boney M’s ‘Rivers of Babylon” is a remake, a cover version of Giuseppe Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from “Nabucco”.

    You can find the lyrics here, though I prefer to hear it sung in Italian. It’s interesting that this Psalm was written by David about events, the exile of the Jews to Babylon, which didn’t occur till many hundreds of years later. I’m sure that was also sung, I wonder how that music score went.

    Oil Prices Pass $115 Barrel, White House Jen Psaki Says Russia To Blame for Joe Biden Gas Prices
    March 4, 2022 | Sundance | 169 Comments

    Within the book of instructions for the ideological Chicago crew (Alinsky peeps), there are chapters on how to create off-ramps to cloud their agenda. If they need a bigger cloud, they create a bigger crisis. The crisis then becomes the cover, the justification to explain the outcomes of their agenda.

    In the latest example, the White House is shifting blame for massive gas price increases and overall U.S. inflation. The crisis in Ukraine then takes on a geopolitical angle and a domestic angle. Last year’s doubling of gas prices and the current increases are now being blamed on Russia. WATCH:
    [at link below]

    If they keep doing this, and the Ukraine conflict continues, you’ll be amazed at how many Americans will forget everything before (Biden policy) and believe all things bad in the economy are Russia’s fault.

    Warnie became a serious poker player after leaving cricket behind. He partnered with Joe Hasham (world champ in Las Vegas) and together they won a number of tournaments. Always said he hated drugs but who would know. He bought the joint next to his ex and put up a big pile so that he could stay in touch with his kids. I think he bought and sold a few places over the journey so that with the poker wins and the TV commentary here and elsewhere probably contributed to that 50m estate.

    I don’t know. The source may well be unknown to her but she should be more careful. All I did was alert DB to the comment at 7.45..and what does she do? She refused to take any responsibility that she might have fucked up.

    BTW, I don’t want her banned and I have never advocated for her to be but rather than take any responsibility, she simply posts vicious and vindictive comments about me or Rosie and then claims to be the victim.

    You know Cassie, awful as this sounds, I actually want to see how she managed to draw that conclusion.

    That’s right up there with the time where she once tried to claim that 220+ years of recorded history showing that Australia is a very hard place to farm and exploit arable land resources the further inland you go was a set of elitist lies designed to talk Australia down and prevent its allegedly abundant resources being used up before the Elites could all settle here, exterminate the population and have it all for themselves.

    And drive down her rural property values.

    She didn’t like being reminded about the Soldier-Settlers, the ghost town of Quorn in the Flinders Ranges of SA, nor the fact that in the last 100 years every idea that has been proposed for catching uncatchable water flows in unreliable wet seasons (Y’know, those ‘Droughts and Flooding Rains’we blame on Climate Change and coal burning now) has been knocked back on grounds of crippling cost, which is a nice way of saying it they were engineering impossibilities…

    I did walk up to St Paul for midday mass.
    In the chapel they said, but the side chapels in the church are too small.
    I looked for clues, the side doors were open, then I saw a petite lady walking purposely towards them, I hastened to follow her, out the doors, through an unlocked gate and down a narrow passage running alongside the church, I felt a bit like a potential mugger, but then she opened a door and asked me to close it behind us.
    A pretty place in white and gold, with an upstairs choir, it might have belonged to the Jesuits who once had a seminary behind the church, now the Charlemagne school (sorry for the trigger dot)

    Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19
    The cardiovascular complications of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, but the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been comprehensively characterized. Here we used national healthcare databases from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to build a cohort of 153,760 individuals with COVID-19, as well as two sets of control cohorts with 5,637,647 (contemporary controls) and 5,859,411 (historical controls) individuals, to estimate risks and 1-year burdens of a set of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes. We show that, beyond the first 30 d after infection, individuals with COVID-19 are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease spanning several categories, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure and thromboembolic disease. These risks and burdens were evident even among individuals who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection and increased in a graded fashion according to the care setting during the acute phase (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care). Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. Care pathways of those surviving the acute episode of COVID-19 should include attention to cardiovascular health and disease.

    As it turned out, and because I was bored and tired after being a pirate all day, and because I had a look at it, it wasn’t ‘we’ at all.

    It was three posts, one after another, all from St. Ruth, and all wordwalls.

    I remember a day long enthusiast discussion here, about the feasibility of replacing Australia’s eucalypt forests with rain attracting European trees to change the climate.
    Don’t know whether Australia dried out by itself or firestick farming changed it.

    As it turned out, and because I was bored and tired after being a pirate all day, and because I had a look at it, it wasn’t ‘we’ at all.

    It was three posts, one after another, all from St. Ruth, and all wordwalls.

    Two words to describe the entire thread:

    Tin.

    Hero.

    I know right?

    I fully expect the wordwalls-in-waiting to turn up here on the morrow.

    Edit – quick check completed.

    Posts on FlashCat since midnight – 795.
    Post on The Shop since midnight – 15.

    Of those 15, 12 were by St. Ruth, and one of those was a straight copy-paste of someone else’s work here.

    Streaming service Stan showed the Super Rugby match between the NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies tonight.
    Half time analysis had David Pocock being interviewed on the sideline.
    Short rugby discussion followed by a leading question about his political career, giving him several minutes to describe how selfless and noble he is.
    He came across as boring, inarticulate, and sluggish on his feet.
    In short, he’s put his head into too many rucks.
    One of the best rugby players I’ve seen though.

    Horrible week – best friend of my wife passed away Thursday morning – ovarian cancer. 47 with a 10yr old son and husband.

    Scanning in some old photos for them tonight – family a bit lost and many helping organise her funeral next Friday.

    School teacher – so very large community – church will be overflowing, tears too.

    Ok let’s bring it back here if you want to grandstand amongst those who are only too willing to see themselves as heros for taking the jab.

    “We’ve had some fun with your “I surrendered because I did it for others” schtick over at the furniture shop, kneel!”

    I make no claim to thinking of “the community” or otherwise in my choices, merely that what and who matters to me most, most affects my choices.

    Meanwhile, you – who has not been forced into such a choice

    Excuse me?

    – attempt to poke fun at my situation and my choices. Not very gentlemanly or ethical in my view, but do as you will. Your rants show your true colours, and I leave it to others to decide who is making the more moral choices here. I have made mine based on what is appropriate for me,

    fuck everyone else

    and expect others to do the same. I would have preferred that the government did not force such distasteful choices upon me, but I cannot change the past.

    That you aim such propaganda at me as some sort of defense, when I have clearly stated many times that I find the mandates to be utterly and completely wrong is, quite frankly, disgusting.

    You stating something sir, means SFA.

    Your lack of ability to take the nuances and variations of different people into account, and instead make it a simple black and white, good vs bad case shows, in my view, the shallow nature of your position and the weakness of your argument. It seems that you are taking the position that any who do not agree with you in the entirety of your position are wrong and to be derided. Quite pathetic – even childish. But then, you have already shown a complete lack of empathy,

    If you don’t take the jab you have no empathy…..I see

    and the willingness to judge others based on incomplete knowledge here before, so in truth I am hardly surprised that you have not changed or learned – such absolutists as you present as here rarely do, often to their own detriment.
    My hope that presenting “the other side” might make you more carefully consider was clearly in vain, however others may benefit from it, and if so, the effort was not wasted. And so I will continue to “waste my time” pointing such out to you, however much you may despise me – it is not always about you, regardless of your narcissism and self pride.

    So….

    In response to this dribble.

    It is simple.
    And it is black and white.

    Your choices are detrimental to you, the ones you love, and to your fellow man.
    And to me.
    And to my loved ones.

    Own it.

    You may have noticed, there are people who are suffering now because they did not give in to tyranny.
    Probably a few million in Australia easily.
    What do you say to them?
    If no one had given in, they wouldn’t be suffering now.
    Who owns that?
    You pompously speak as if I am the only one standing up to this.

    Do you wish to ignore the millions who won’t surrender, and attempt to suggest it’s only me?

    You can blovate in front of your vaxxed mates who wish people like me would go away.
    They cheer you on because it sooths their guilt.
    “Why can’t these unjabbed arseholes losing everything to fight just move on !!
    I mean, FFS, what is done is done.
    So we’ve all become good Nazis and flash our pass everywhere, we’ve moved on, why can’t they.
    What’s done is done, and us good Nazis want to forget it”.

    Of course you do.

    You want to move on, however, we millions are still out here, segregated and discriminated against, because we chose to stand.
    Some losing everything.
    Don’t self righteously excuse yourself to me.
    Especially claiming some sort of virtue signalling empathy for doing so.
    Do it to the millions who did not fold.

    I repeat, you haven’t helped yourself, the ones you care about or your countrymen, and pulling the victim card in a few long winded paragraphs falls on deaf ears when those ears are sacrificing to fight this.
    Spare me.

    Just say you made a mistake, or your missus threatened you and you weren’t man enough to control your woman when she threatened to leave you if she didn’t let the kids get jabbed, or you were really pissed…., or you thought you were getting a tattoo……..whatever.
    You failed at a crucial moment.

    I’d be on your side in an instant, and there with my hand out to shake it and call you brother.

    But talking to those that have lost everything because you didn’t stand up to this as well, in the fashion you are, is , well, to put it mildy , a bit rich.

    And most of my scorn were for people gleefully using their good nazi passes once they got the jab, the only reason you and millions got the jab, claiming they just felt like it was “right for them” when they knew it came with a passport.
    THEY KNEW THAT IT CAME WITH A PASSPORT and still did it. For a disease they knew they were going to survive.
    And the people now segregated , who have lost everything, to fight against this are all supposed to be polite little people and let you all move on as if nothing happened.
    Well, it’s still happening to me and millions of others.

    So the mirrors aren’t going anywhere.

    “Sorry Mr Churchill, but I’m surrendering to the Nazis”.
    “Fighting wars could mean I won’t be able to look after my family or see my old mum”.
    “I can keep looking after my family if I surrender”.
    “Hitler promised”.
    “Good luck with the war, I’m sure others will fight”.
    “Oh, and just so you know, I support you all the way”.

    I am saddened by the passing of Warnie, but am also becoming irritated by his constant deification in the press and on the idiot box.

    Sure, I’m old, but I remember equally the legend that was Rod Marsh behind the wickets, and the triumvirate: Lillee, Thommo, Marshie. Sadly, his death seems to have been pushed aside in the obscene haste to flaunt Warnie on our screens.

    “Ashes to ashes
    And dust to dust
    If Lillee don’t get you
    Then Thommo must.”
