Rob Roos | Erosion of National Democratic Process by Supra-National Technocracy | NatCon Brussels 2
Horrible stuff, Cassie. Our supine governments have paved the way for evil to express itself openly.
Didn’t Burgess say that the Pallie protests and suburban intimidation convoys would act as a pressure valve to let off…
I am looking forward to getting Qld Seniors card in a few months. The $1 a day discount should see…
Apparently this is the core of the UAP platform for the election.
“1. Cap interest rates at 3% for 5 years.
2. Apply 15% license fee to exported iron ore to pay off the $1 trillion debt.
3. Bring back $1 trillion in overseas invested superannuation.
4. End provisional tax by making tax liabilities payable at years end instead of in advance.
5. Increase aged pension by $180 a fortnight.”
Things to like and things not so much. How will it go with the electors?
Franx
Mater had a lot misgivings about taking the jab plus other issues.
St ruth thought kneel was Mater. What say you?
Fat Cloive was just on Blot* and it seems the former has been talking about a 15% tariff on our iron ore exports.
A “courageous idea” indeed. Until the chinamen take their business elsewhere, that is.
*I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to either of the noxious clowns.
Yes but there are consequences that go beyond that individual. Struth is right. Australia is a nation of sheep. Baaa, baaa ,baaa. I wanna go on an O/S holiday. If you get jabbed that is your decision but if you did it to get the vax passport and use it, fuck you.
No it’s a personal choice, between an individual and his doctor. None of your business. Fuck off your insulting old turd.
Drills
When did you find out your father was also your uncle (Ned) and did that have any influence in deciding to marry your sister?
For me, Straw Dogs.
Blot was also mouth foaming at length about the impertinence towards Goose Morristeen of the drunken ol’ disability pensioner in the pub. Which was then nicely topped off by that imbecilic yapping poodle Clennell stating that “Morristeen should have taken a walk around Lismore and copped a bit”.
This is what passes for political analysis on Australia’s only supposed conservative evening news channel.
Noice. That’s the old mining tax in another form.
Apparently Fat Cloive wants to put an export duty of 15% on iron ore exports to “pay off debt”.
Apparently the export customers will just eat a 15% price rise without looking elswhere.
He also wants to “bring minerals processing back onshore” but doesn’t exactly explain how he might do this.
It’s under his “We Make Nafink” policies.
As for capped interest rates, all that will do is dry up housing finance for marginal customers if underlying interest rates are higher than that.
He is a simplistic, protectionist lunatic.
Bespoke drinks Stella Artois? Hey, some guys swing down Oxford street, who are we to judge?

The free drink at a wedding I attended and shunned by the multitude.
Aqua Vile.
Neither are on my birth certificate.
Will you be betting on this too?
Interesting you talk of sleeping with one’s sister. Anything you need to share with the Cat collective?
Small edit suggestion.
He is an obese simplistic, protectionist lunatic.
Some more groundbreaking political analysis from the Blot (with Daisy C):
“Wussians are more upset about Chanel shops being shut down in Moscow than they are about gazillions of dead Ukranians, I tells ya!”
You don’t have a birth certificate. If they had found out your parents were brother and sister, they both would have gone to jail 67 years ago.
Bet on what? What your first name is or isn’t? Lord you’re a cretin.
Not just sleeping with her. You married her in a fit of deep, abiding love. It’s fine Drills as I’m not judging what goes on in FNQ.
Great reason not to watch TV Rabz let alone pay for it. Bolt’s column in the Hun used to be quite good but he always came across as being wooden on TV.
Accusing me of incest.
This does not compensate for your inability to match a bet.
Makes me sick too how open season on Russians is quite ok by the political-media class.

I respect those who have made a decision not to get jabbed and I respect those who have made the decision to get jabbed.
I don’t respect anyone who buckled the nut for a few bucks or a pat on the scone from Big Brother.
Sure, everyone who looked the other way has got an excuse, but that type of attitude doesn’t command respect.
Are you independently wealthy, with no significant debt?
Do you lack any immediate family (who might actually wish to see you)?
Others might not share your circumstances.
Bespoke, not quite. But interesting.
Fatso Murray now screeching about increases in interest rates.
That enough idiocy for tonight. Off switch utilised.
See previous comment. Will starve funds from marginal borrowers.
See previous comment by me and others. Volumes will likely take a hit. See also, “Goose, Golden Egg”.
Wut?
How would he regulate that exactly?
No biggy.
$12 billion per annum hit to the bottom line.
Is it really incest or just unrequited love?
Make typical Queersland racist comments then don’t complain when you get a slapping, you inbreed.
Protests in Peru over rising fuel prices enters second week as violent clashes between the protestors and police continue. A farm worker has been shot dead during the clash and at least four others have lost their life during anti-government protests
3. Bring back $1 trillion in overseas invested superannuation.
?????,. Is it really that much?….
Lurv is lurv.
JC, you make Struth look sane & well adjusted.
Seek help.
Sancho Panzer says: April 7, 2022 at 8:06 pm
You’re fluffing for this sicko?
Seriously?
Dunno.
Cloive is plucking numbers out his dimply fat arse.
So if I hold NYSE shares I have to sell?
Can you decipher what he is cranky about?
Some nongs will fall for it.
I’ve heard it is.
It’s actually a laughably stupid idea. Only a stupid Queersland fat idiot could come up with this nonsense. It would do almost zero to investment in Australia except to cause a massive appreciation in the Australian dollar and massive rise in asset prices. Senseless stupidity.
Do not google this!!!
Ed Case at 6:23.
Should be sobering for St Ruth to realise that Googlery is squarely on the same page as him.
Hmmm,… I’m agreeing with JC on Clive. He should stick to eating…….and learning how to ‘shag’ again.
No it’s a personal choice, between an individual and his doctor.
Your doctor is compromised and risks his livelihood by telling you anything that might discourage you from taking the jab. Why would you listen to him? Do your own research. There’s plenty out there. GP’s aren’t all that smart.
Simply put, the jabs don’t work at best. At worst you become more vulnerable to getting the coof. Your immune system gets suppressed making you more vulnerable to all other immune system/infection problems.
No, you won’t all die in the near future but we’ve seen the life insurance company data. There will be a gradual increase in premature deaths, time displaced enough not to make it dead obvious that the jabs are the cause. No doubt, climate change will get the blame.
You supported him until the slight falling, you piece of shit.
Anyways, don’t be embarrassed about sisterly love, Drills. We know females are in short supply up there.
Probably no worse than what anal has planned.
Apparently Fat Cloive wants to put an export duty of 15% on iron ore exports to “pay off debt”.

He also wants to “bring minerals processing back onshore” but doesn’t exactly explain how he might do this.
We all know “Cloive” is not gonna be running the country so any and all of his “policies” mean SFA in the scheme of things but he is running a political party in an election and like all the other contenders needs something to fill in the space marked .. vote-for-us-because waffle ..
the problem is that the pie-in-the-sky rubbish from both the LIbs & Lab (&, God forbid the greens!) could, actually, be implemented which should be of far greater concern because regardless of how we all vote one of the two is gonna come out on top …….!
you know what would help – put such a fee on all such *raw* materials (bauxite, iron ore etc), to encourage some processing here.
Yet I’m not the one who cut & ran when it go to wallet time.
Accusations of incest & insults do not make up for your inability to match your bet.
My impecunious battered is not taking it very well being called & found wanting.
Game Over.
Just get a load of this inbred, squealing like a stuck pig because someone else has had a go at him. He’s been joining pile ons like the coward he is for a decade. Just get a load of this demented squealer. How funny!
Feels Like We’re Back
Paul Joseph Watson
put this in the old OT, ‘cos I’m a spastic.
Speaking of movies not worth watching, I tried to watch the (lauded) “The Revenant” the other night.
An excess of violence for violence’s sake, half of it. I mean really, as much as I like a good mauling, the 10min bear attack scene was OTT.
But that wasn’t the problem I had with it. The scene it set with Leonardo’s near death by bear in the Arctic with a bunch of misfits. Despite being effectively ignored (apart from some superficial stitching) – and strapped to a stretcher in sub-zero conditions – he has a miraculous recovery and ends up walking his way out the wilderness to seek his revenge.
None of the topography or weather made any sense. He’d be crawling along a riverbank on his hands and knees in 3 feet of snow with the sun low in the sky one minute, then up on the top of a huge canyon on bare ground, sunshine and leafy trees all around him the next. The other group had to climb over huge mountain (why?) to get to civilisation, but he found some easy route which didn’t involve climbing over anything substantial, and that was after he’d spend a fair while floating down a river to escape the Injuns.
Apparently, they filmed for 9 months. It shows in the editing, as I think it keeps jumping from winter to spring/autumn and back.
Then, there was some mysterious woman the baddy Indians were on a quest for.. but I couldn’t work out who the hell she was, or where she was. She wasn’t the (long-dead) wife of Leonardo he kept dreaming about (including a ghostly hovering over his body while he lay prostrate.. how sexual!), and she never turned up as far as I could tell (unless she was the bird they had in the French camp?).
The two redeeming features were the costumes and makeup – trappers were suitably covered in mud and blood, and clothed in various skins and old rugs… and constantly wet. At least that part was realistic. And Tom Hardy was a very believable baddy.
.. but really, it was so disjointed and lacking in a coherent plot that I gave up when he was about to burst into civilisation and reek his revenge on the psycho who left him behind. Presumably that was the good bit.
If I wanted a bit of gore with a historic plot, I’d re-watch Bone Tomahawk.
It was not I who made accusations of incest.
You are one very sick puppy.
You’re not just an ill-mannered shithead, banging on a keyboard.
You are sick.
Only cheaper electricity, less tax and regulations will encourage processing.

JC at 8:10.
Nearly everything the Fat Fuck says has unintended, but obvious, adverse consequences.
And some of his brain farts actually work against each other.
Example.
Capping interest rates supposedly to improve housing affordability but then repatriating a gazillion dollars in super, some of which will be pumped into investment property.
You sure did and no one really buys your lies.
And making denigrating comments about people’s parents and racist abuse first makes you more of a welsher that you pretend you aren’t, you mentally sick fuck. You narcissistic inbred.
Driller’s way of saying he copped another beating and is now squealing.
You’ve made numerous denigrating comments about my parents and as well as racist diatribe. Don’t play hurt feelings when you get it back in spades, dickface. You loser
No, I just don’t like you. You act like you have criminal tendencies.
You’re not just a lying dissembling turd, you’re also a piece of garbage.
lurv is lurv, Driller.
91 year old bloke works at Bunnings.
It’s a set of the most destructive policies I’ve read. Fuck the miners and cause a massive spike in assets prices
Accusing me of rooting my sister is how you hide your shame at me battering you?
There’s one way to recover – put your money up.
You haven’t the balls for that. So get used to me owning you.
Keep on saying I root my sister. It’s your level of discourse.
No, it’s not. You’re lying again. It’s in response to your denigrating comments about parents and racist abuse.
You sick, narcissistic piece of shit. And by the way, this will only ever stop until you apologist.
You’re broke. You don’t have any money you loser. That’s way you’ve been on here most of the day. You have nothing to do accept complain about the evil bank, which doesn’t want to deal with you anymore.
Your level of discourse is to put down family members when hurt. Don’t like the return volley then don’t play, you ridiculous imbred turd.
Lurv is lurv.

Justice.
Who knows, it could be more if he’s including all the various Government Funds that pay for Public Servants to retire at 55.
What might be more interesting is where all that money is hiding and what the return is.
For instance, how much Industry Super is propping up the U.S. Nuclear Industry?
The QIC has Billion$$ invested there.
Personal choice between doctor and patient?
It had more to do with playing golf. And other some such pursuits, including some level of emotionally manipulating partners and spouses.
err that should be apologies.
Carry on.
Yes it is.
You’re not very good at this are you?
Serious question: Do you think there is one, just one, commenter on the Cat who believes you on this?
Who thinks anything other than you are one sick fuck?

General Milley Downplays Kicking Out Troops over Vaccine Mandate
Just a head’s up. WolfmanOz at the Movies will be up tomorrow morning. I completely forgot to schedule it last night. Apologies to all and especially WolfmanOz.

There is no St Ruth, Sancho.
There’s just you, your Handler, Faulty, and Graeme Bird fits in there somewhere too.
However, all toxins, including Vaccines, will lower IQ.
Your IQ doesn’t appear any lower than it ever was, which leads me to conclude that you haven’t taken any Vaccines, Covid or others.

Frankly, only someone as intelligent as stuth would believe that crap.
Want to bet?
But who really thinks you’re anything other than a narcissistic blowhard? And someone else called you a blowhard. I didn’t come up with such an appropriate term. 🙂
Driller, the bank doesn’t like you. Just accept it and move on.
Here’s the [self inflicted] problem that you’ve got, Salvatore:
your constant lying and Gaslighting makes you vulnerable to accusations of this kind, since your denial wouldn’t mean much.
“1. Cap interest rates at 3% for 5 years.
So the RBA will take on 100% of the domestic banks risk?
Seriously?
2. Apply 15% license fee to exported iron ore to pay off the $1 trillion debt.
So a mining tax.
3. Bring back $1 trillion in overseas invested superannuation.
So the Apple shares in my smsf have to come home?
What about my VC investments o/s?
4. End provisional tax by making tax liabilities payable at years end instead of in advance.
Get a better accountant.
5. Increase aged pension by $180 a fortnight.”
Why not increase it by eleventy million.
What Justice, Dover?
Not for the kid.

Good evening lurkers!
Yep. if rates go up this is what this fat clown saying.
Stella Artois….made in Australia under licence, like many of the ‘imported’ beers.
Yet you squib at betting on it.
Meaning you believe I’m correct.
Shouting that I root my sister will not change this.
I recommend you apologize for the incest comments.
And accept that you’ll never be top dog while I’m around.
You’re incapable of winning one point over me.
Game Over.
No once again, a kitchen has to be more front the house, celebrated, not tucked away in a ships galley, I’ d feel like I was a servant there, not a captain. What is front of house looks more like a breakfast bench. And I dont care for those grey boxes, the design of this felt like they just forgot to put walls in, rather than they were designed that way. And what is with that feature hanging light of in the corner of a bedroom? An after thought?
Proximity to sea is good, you could hear it from there, and close enough for long walks on the beach but the squashed in houses at arms reach from each other kind of clashes with the openness of the beach- too caravan park confinement for this country gal.
I am designing (drawing – I will get a professional to make it talk to builders) my retirement hut in the rainforest and I will rent a cottage by the sea during the winter months, as I dont much like the sea in summer.
Retirement is going to be such fun.
Meanwhile, Boris has announced that the UK will build eight new nuclear reactors to ensure its energy security and independence. Would that ScoMo had the ticker.

I’ll give you fair warning – the novelty does wear off.
I’m being ironic, bespoke.

Now apologize for the incest accusations. Lest I become agitated.

Dickless
Lying and gaslighting? Do you mean like making up a story about a USN carrier off the coast of China as the Pearl Harbor attack went in? Or your random designation of various people as “flamers” or “spooks”, while offering absolutely no evidence to support your assertions? That kind of lying and gaslighting?
Heed thine own advice, welcher.
Apologize for the incest comments & it’s all forgiven.
Oh we will both be busy doing something, not sure what yet but you cannot stop and do nothing. May as well start digging the hole if you do that.
As the war in Ukraine continues, the sanctions imposed by the West haven’t deterred Russia from its war effort but they have clearly weakened the Russian economy. At one point, they resulted in a significant devaluation of the ruble. Russia responded with a counterattack. It put in place three financial countermeasures.
We hold the view that the communist ideology and system of the CCP is the most damaging factor for humanity and the world today. It needs to be treated with care and caution by all people of good will.
It’s regrettable that Russia, with all its different values from the CCP, has been pushed into its arms. If influential politicians around the world could only think in this light, the global landscape today and in the future may be completely different.
Helen: A little bit of boredom is a very pleasant experience.

+1. A bit tough to get used to having no demands on your time or presence, but you soon settle into a comfortable routine of long periods of sloth, spoiling yourself rotten with outrageously expensive long lunches and dinners, leisurely afternoons at the pub discussing important things like dog breeds, rainfall, stock prices and the dickheads on the Shire Council. Shopping in town takes forever as you have to stop and chat with every second person about the weather or the dickheads on the Shire council.
Trips to the city become an event to dread and the mere sight of a traffic light brings on a black cloud of depression, happily lifted as you head home and pass the first outward bound 110kmh speed sign.
Best of all in my case is that I never again have to look at an endless sea of red dirt and spinifex and never again set foot underground until the final six footer looms.
What is this ‘retirement’ people are speaking of?
Is this a caravan thing?
Drills
Every single comment you made denigrating my parents making direct racist comments against me have been catalogued and kept in a file. So has every lie you’ve told.
If that’s a threat of legal action. Go head . I don’t think one can sue being anon, but if you can then I can too. I’m happy to see you in court. Now go clean the bar and say hi to sis for me, you jerk off.

It would be the honourable thing to do. We can spot the problem here already.
One apology, for saying stupid stuff, admit you were a stupid dickhead. & nothing more gets said.
Good Lord, KD. NO!
You would have to:
a. buy a caravan and Landcruiser for $250K.
b. whack on a sticker with “KD and Doris On Tour, Channel 17”.
c. buy a small fluffy and yappy white dog (mandatory).
d. Learn to gibber inanities on Ch40 on the CB like “corner coming up, Bert”.
e. Park in truck bays for free camping, ensuring you take up 75% of the bay to prevent any trucks impinging on your sacred site.
f. Visit every local IGA on your way and buy up all their toilet roll and a bottle of water.
g. Whinge about not being able get a chai latte with double marshmallow at a roadhouse 1000km from the nearest town.
h. Travel in convoy with like minded mongs at 80kmh while a dozen B-Doubles and road trains crawl along behind.
i. Throw all your accumulated rubbish into the bush at truck bays, dirty nappies especially welcome.
I could go on, but you get the idea.
Is it all new loans?
Which is problematic in and of itself.
Or capping loan agreements entered into in good faith?

Do what you think is right for you and what works for the you as a couple. And don’t ever “last chance me” again you inbred retard. You don’t and can’t ever frighten me. Stop repeating the same crap over and over again.
If it’s a lawsuit you want, I’m happy to see you in court. Roll the dice that the comments you’ve made, your lies you’ve posted in the past don’t count. They most certainly do in a counter suit. By the way, did you ever apologize for accusing me of dobbing in Brian? The countless times. That’s just one example.
Now fuck off and go clean the bar.. and by the way, the law-firm I use bite hard. I guess I’ll be hearing from you. Dickhead.
So incest is a laughing matter at JC’s house?
Must be a jolly time had by all around the dinner table.
Where did you pick up this propensity for incest?
Was it part of the family when you were being raised?
Or did it pop up (heh) when you had a family of your own?

Sincere condolences, Winston.
I’m very sorry Winston.

You know people can be awful. Do you mind if you could do one thing to help me out here. I’m a firm believer in trust and verify. Would you be nice enough to post two things on a website of your choosing. I’d like to see a copy of the marriage and death certificates.
If you do this, I will of course apologize for thinking that deliberate hit piece posted around Tom’s toons, which you took peculiar delight in wasn’t her (the post sounded exactly like one I believe she posted against me a long time ago on the old Cat). Can you do this for me, Winston?
It would allay a lot of suspicions.
Pedro the Loafer says: April 7, 2022 at 9:48 pm
Pedro, KD (& others)
Some years ago had a really sour customer for dinner in the bistro. Grey nomad types. Hector & Myrtle Anderson (or somesuch, I’m surprised I forget their name, given what followed)
They were so unhappy with dinner (price $5) that they stacked on one helluva blue, wanted refund etc etc.
I knew nothing about it – one grey nomad biddy carrying on like a pork chop is hardly a “call-the-boss” event. The Kitchen manager or someone pretended to listen to her complaints & either gave her back the $10 for two meals, or told her to bugger orf.
Nothing unusual so far.
Then the mail starts arriving.
This woman wrote, in her own handwriting, a letter, on paper & inserted into a handwritten envelope, from every town they stopped at around Australia, to say how much nicer the meals were than my burnt offerings & how horrible the cook was at my place, etc. etc. Sometimes she included photographs of a cafe interior or something.
This continued for several months, until they got home to Bathurst (or wherever they were from) & wrote a letter from there, about how good the buffet was at their local RSL club (photos included)
I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t imagine what it cost in stamps & prints (this was before digital was a thing, in fact it was before the phrase “Grey Nomad” was in common use)
She must have spent hours & hours writing some of those letters. Every one of them full of bile.
Condolences, Winston.
What the hell are you serving up for $5?
Seems a lot of slagging going on but no one has a real argument for submitting to tyranny and inso doing, giving the middle finger to everyone else……….. and Western Australians snivelling about having to get the jab because “I’m in debt up to me eyebrows because I had to have the latest and greatest..trying to keep up with the Jones”
They make it sound like they had to get the jab so they the could afford the packet of Weetbix the family need to live on for the week.
Fuck off.
And Choo Choo said there’s thousands of jobs out there for the unjabbed, so which is it?
It’s funny how “I had to keeps me job coz I’m so poor” goes right a long with bye….we’re going to Europe.
Scum.
A square meal.
Cost control was pretty tight at the time.
Extras were 20c each, sauce, second breadroll, & so on.
It wasn’t the world’s largest meal, it matched exactly the appetite of a pensioner (or grey nomad)
It was bloody good tucker too.
No wonder the bank is sending out harsh demands
Driller, what fuck are you serving for 5 bucks? Half a boiled egg and one freaking chip?
Sal.
Imagine being the bloke sharing the van with the mad cow.
“ oh god she’s photographing another ham and cheese toastie”…
Death would lose its sting pretty quick.
No bank is sending any demands.
Do you have any Daddy-daughter stories to share with us?
Or is all that still “our secret”?
I’ll take your word for it Gordon Blue.
(Not really).
I have eaten a good meal for less than $5.
In Goa.
In 1994.
Kindred spirits, Pedro.
There was discussion here a week or so ago that caravanning may also include a bit of ‘keys in the fruitbowl’ activity.
Spew.
Funnily enough, there were no photos of food, usually just an interior of a cafe, often it was the interior of the local IGA or whatever.
It didn’t go unnoticed that all the writing was done by her (as had all the complaining been)
I should google their name & town, see if he finally cracked & topped her.
That old chestnut.
You still here?
You told us the bank has asked for your financials. This is unheard of if you don’t have a credit line with them.
There’s no such stories, but I bet there are a few about you and the sis.
Hey Drills, there was no need to change her name after signing the marriage certificate as it’s the same name.. That’s a bonus then, hey? So much easier for both of you.
Sorry for your loss Winston.

You don’t have any choice.
That you cannot conceptualise a decent nourishing meal for $5 in 2022 does not mean I couldn’t produce a few hundred a night 20 yrs ago.
Something for you to reflect upon.
Hmm.
JC perhaps was close with his mum.
This may be where he picked up some of his predelictions.
Maybe they just like reading random financials for fun.
Or they need the practice.
Rather off topic:
I watched “Gladiator” this evening. I’m on leave, was listening to the soundtrack on Spotify (my man Pav sings one of the songs and you can hear the rawness, beauty and decline in his voice all at once) and suddenly thought to watch it for the first time in about six years.
It strikes me as a very masculine movie in the most positive way. Without understanding the male perspective, I suspect the movie would not be enjoyed and appreciated fully. I must admit, that was how I viewed it the first time. How I have grown!
My younger son came in part way through and opined that the movie should be shown in high school. I can’t disagree.
And, serendipitously enough, today is also Rusty’s birthday. It cannot be said that he still looks as fine but I am thankful to him for three movies that I love: Gladiator, Cinderella Man (I enjoy boxing very much – Tim Tszyu and George Kambosos are my favourites) and The Water Diviner – just replete with human emotion and quite gorgeous cinematography and a depiction of the Australian landscape that tugs at my heart.
And, Winston, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Good Lord, KD. NO!
Kindred spirits, Pedro.
There was discussion here a week or so ago that caravanning may also include a bit of ‘keys in the fruitbowl’ activity.
Spew.
I spent most of my time from 2009 until Covid-19 “on the road ” in a motorhome, and from what I saw at happy hour in most caravan parks any keys left in a bowl would still be there in the morning.
Sancho Panzer says: April 7, 2022 at 11:01 pm
It’s quite puzzling actually.
It wasn’t financials they hinted they would want, it was a tax return.
They also asked lots of intrusive questions.
Did I operate any poker machines, if so how many & under which entity?
Did I operate TAB facilities, if so under which entity?
Did I have anti-money laundering procedures in place to prevent my business being used for money laundering? etc. etc.
Some of this stuff they could find out by getting the local branch to get their arse off a stool & go for a walk to have a look.
I questioned what business was it of theirs & why did they want to know?
& who the heck did they think they were? Answer was lots of mumbling.
“You blokes want me to empty my accounts & deposit in another bank?” was met with quavering voice & hasty assurances this is not what they wanted.
It’s a total mystery.
It’s even more weird than demanding you prove your ID before depositing palty amounts of cash in your own account.
Never struck anything like it before.
The accounts are pretty static & have been for at least 15 years. The demands aren’t much, just a bit of change now & then and the occasional cash deposit of paltry amounts.
For that they get a not insignificant sum they’re paying no interest on.

1. Something extraordinary happens to him.
2. He competently meets the challenge head on with amazing aplomb.
3. He solves the issues
4 . He writes a stern Hans Blix letter
5. He receives grovelling apology letter.
Lol.:
– a female candidate who will be running as an ‘independent’ in Reid (held by Libs, floor-crosser Fiona Martin) was knocked back for Liberal preselection
– so then said candidate quit the Liberals claiming ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by one or more senior Libs
– turns out this ‘independent’ candidate has made it publicly known that she was in a consensual relationship with Craig Laundy (Fiona Martin’s predecessor)
“She claims that she consented to the relationship because Laundy had told her that he was effectively separated from his wife, but was staying in the family home on a temporary basis for the sake of his children. She later found out this was not true and ended the relationship. She says that once the relationship ended she was overlooked for preselection for the seat.”
Laundy was a Turnbull groupie, who quit politics to “put family first”.
Lol. What a clown show. Reid is (supposedly) marginal electorate.
No apology from the Bank CEO and Chairman yet?
What a stupid comment.
Did your dad take you fishing a lot when younger JC?

I’ve always liked Struth from the old days as a Convoy man, pub singer, truckie and as a good bloke.
He’s gone mental over the vaxxes and TyrAnEEe. It’s been a tough 2 years, so I forgive him.
Thank you for the reminder.

Lol, isn’t Fiona Martin the star of Aussie Cossack’s video taken at her “All comers” come & ask a question of her in the park?
Or she would be the star, had she not hightailed it when she spied him inbound several hundred metres out.

I’ve done nothing to you, you have nothing to forgive.
But what have you done to me and millions like me?
What utter croc…….I’m still the same bloke Lizzie.
I call a spade a spade.
Don’t you dare go flashing your Nazi pass around to go on OS holidays while millions are fighting tyranny, stick your finger up at all of us and then tell me you forgive me!!!!!!

You’re nothing…useless.
KD, you’re just pathetic.
so I forgive him.
I don’t, he was OK, but as you say he’s gone bonkers over the vax issue.
Struth, repeating what you said a 100 times does not make it any more relevant, put it simply, you do NOT run others’ lives, despite wanting to.
Don’t want the vax don’t get it, but stop this haranguing people for their choice.
Farter time.
Picked up a couple of gorillas at the rubbidy, as well as a phone number. Good times.

I came across this poem, recently. Author unknown. It’s not bad either.
Defeated? A sonnet to empty churches
Come on. You lot have survived worse things:
Black Death, Plague and two World Wars,
The Reformation (Cromwell clipped the wings
Of angels in the roof); and there are scars
On ancient faces, marble noses cropped
And poppy heads beheaded like the King;
And modern vandals too. But you’ve not stopped
Your ageless plain ability to sing
Of something quite indifferent to the now;
Built with a trusting love and potent faith
You stand there still in testament to how
Beauty is not a wafted fleeting wraith,
A ghost which chance can whimsically destroy;
You can be filled, if not by faith, with joy.
Anonymous, June 2020
Most such poems tend to assume that the C of E will simply let the older churches fade romantically and spiritually into the landscape. No such luck. They have their eye on the profits. It’s sale they want, for holiday homes.
Philip Larkin’s 1954 poem, in the same mode as the one above, is the earlier and classic case of the ‘they will just fade away’ mode. It is still a striking poem, beautiful in its own cynic-as-hero way, and deeply entangled in the sense of place that the very grounds themselves of disintegrating old churches still carry.
Speaking of which, there is a very large and modern Aged Care Centre built up on Dover Heights not far from us, set on the road that overlooks the very famous and very large coastal cemetary of Sydney’s East, full of the most glorious mausoleums and statued headstones of uplifting winged angels, the death sentinals and hallowed depositories of Victorian times. Makes the imagery of God’s Waiting Room a little bit too close for my sense of comfort. I would not like to live there in older age. but apparently it is very popular as a retirement place for aged locals. They must be used to it.
No, you don’t. You are calling it a bloody shovel. Going over the top about it. As I see it, anyway.
Struth, I don’t bear you any ill-will. You don’t reciprocate in that.
So I’ll happily call it quits with you now. I hope times and feelings improve for you.
Am heading home from an almost great evening catching up with some school Dads from our annual Melbourne Comedy Festival evening. Great night on the beers …but the entertaining was ….shit. Paul McDermott from their ABC and once funny DAAS. PMD came out of the block Anti Vaxxers then went Anti Scomo, Anti Christian , Anti Freedom Rally, Anti Trump… . PMD is a super talented guy but the venom he spat with his ‘comedy’ was base level shyte. It only went for 1 hour which to be fair was 60 minutes too long. There is indeed a gap in the Melbourne market for a right wing comedian to step up….hmmm I need a back up career…
Reminds me of the Jimmy Carr line…’when I told all my family and friends I wanted to be a comedian they all laughed. Well they’re not laughing now!’
Fair Shake, did you get to see Grace Tame’s gig?
That’s sure to be a rip-snorter!
Fair Shake: Leo Kearse.
Barry Humphries correctly says that these leftie types ‘identify as comedians’. Leo is the real deal.
Run your life!
I want you to stop running mine by submitting to tyranny.
Humans can definitely delude themselves into thinking they’re innocent when they are far from it.
If you won’t have a good hard long look at yourselves somebody is going to let you know what you are doing!
I’m going by your actions not your hollow meaningless words.
Interesting that both T.S. Eliott and John Betjeman were foundation members of the small British charity ‘Friends of Friendless Churches’ with whom I am in contact. Poets gotta have their elegiac scenes about which to elegise in their elegies. As does Thomas Gray, in his country churchyard (warning; elegies are ‘short’ poems but Thomas forgot about that bit).
Salvatore and co ,
Saint GT got a mention and could do no ill. Twas all Scomos fault. Alas Scomo has placated these halfwits on the belief they will love him back. As we have said on the cat many a time…the left will never like you or vote for you. Their hate runs deep. All Scomo and Turncoat have done is lose their base supporters and been jilted by their new lovers.
I have not watched their ABC for many years now but the venom and abuse from their kind still
Has shock value on me.
the words chosen by PMD equate to the lefts definition of violence. If this came out of a right wingers mouth they would be cancelled. But not left wing ‘comedians’ they get centre stage at Melbournes Comedy Festival. 40 years in show biz and this is all he can deliver. FFS.
Fair Shake, the comedians are not likely to bite the hand that feeds them by mocking the vaxxed audience.
Must say enjoyed the beers afterwards and the train home. Been a busy week.
Went to Sydeney during the week and got rained on. But was great to see people face to face…been 2 years. Can u believe how long we have fked up this country. But ole PMD believes we didn’t go hard and long enough. ..and he lives in Canberra. What a fuckwit.
Waits patiently for Tom at 4am….
…and another thing, Paul McDermott took great delight in abusing the antivaxxers. Then he had a crack at Perrotet for ‘letting it rip!’ . He then talked about how he and his family were subsequently hit by Covid and he has had to endure long Covid. All due to Perrotet and Scomo. But then I think…you’re fully vaxxed (3 jabs)… yet you get hard core Covid. Can anyone else see irony here?
Er.. Fair Shake… I meant… Grace Tame has a gig, as in performing a comedy… session.
It should be really funny, especially if she has some fair dinkum hecklers.
Disappointed at Paul McDermott. I’ve just worked out who he is.
I remember him principally for a joke he made about gun control – at the time Reichsfuhrer Howard was taking our guns.
McDermott was the only comedian who managed to make a joke about it that was funny and not remotely offensive to anybody. Quite an effort.
I’ve always had a bit of time for him because of that.
It seems I was mistaken.
Signing off. Thank you. You’ve been a wonderful audience. Try the veal!
Daily Mail (and many many other sources)
Heh! No mystery here.
It has been a couple of years since I’ve been in the UK, I had largely forgotten that ‘Nanny’ intrudes into every aspect of daily life.
Well, the old hag has exponentially multiplied during Covid. You can’t go anywhere or do anything without someone or something telling you to remember to breathe or not stick your dick into the power socket.
It’s everywhere.
“Mind the gap” common sense has evolved into “mind everything and everyone” insanity.
The most egregious encouragement of tertiary Karenism and repression of individual initiative and responsibility has to be; “see it; tell us; we’ll sort it”.

And, since your incessant boasts that Queensland was a hotbed of resistance to vaxxxxx TyRaNnY, there should be absolutely no problems in you going and driving your precious trucks again. And showed you that some 5,000 or more vacancies in Queensland alone were gagging to be filled by someone of your proclaimed ability and professional record.
And all you have done in return is continue to eat our tax dollars, Adam Savage at us (except in an unfunny and non-endearing manner)* and invent utter bullshit like you did above.
Talk about living by your PrInCiPlEs and VaLuEs. Do you actually have any beyond indulging your narcissism?
