What I’m talking about is something different. I understand a retainer to be a regular fee if there’s work or not.
I think you’re describing an understanding of what the fee will be and then if there is work to be done the fee for the work will be paid regularly.

WA Health launches school holiday COVID-19 vaccination blitz as state records 6,566 new cases
Pop-up clinics offering face painting and various entertainment will be set up across Perth, including at Kings Park, Bibra Lake, Whiteman Park, the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, Mundaring Sculpture Park and Perth Zoo, where every child vaccinated will receive a free, three-year pass.
Ms Sanderson said the state government wanted to make the school holiday vaccination program as fun and easy as possible for children.
“The vaccine is safe and it is the most important way that we can lower that transmission in schools and stop our kids from getting sick with COVID,” Ms Sanderson said.
“We know that the unvaccinated are making up a third of our hospitalisations.
“To my knowledge, there are no children in ICU and I couldn’t give you the exact percentage of children in hospital, but they are making up a significant portion of the hospitalisations.”
Still we are lucky that our manly jawed Libs will take a stand against this creepy uncle behaviour!
The state opposition has called for an education campaign on vaccine safety and efficacy to lift vaccination rates among young children.
“The government needs to do more to reassure parents about the safety of the vaccine,” WA Liberals leader David Honey said.
“Quite clearly, a lot of parents who are vaccinated themselves are hesitant to get their children vaccinated.”
Never forget.

Pearl Harbor, the Americans knew it was coming, since they’d broken the Japanese Diplomatic Codes.
Sure, they moved the 4 Carrier Groups outta the road, but left the obsolete Battleships to be junked, along with 3,000 Sailors.
Have you posted the reference to the USN carrier off the coast of China as the Pearl Harbor attack went in yet? Military historians around the world wait with bated breath.
PS, those “obsolete Battleships” fired the last rounds ever in a clash of battleships, at Surigao Strait in October 1944. They won, the Japanese force was destroyed. All part of the cunning plan.
PPS, operational orders are not transmitted in diplomatic codes (or even ciphers). The Japanese Navy operational cipher, JN-25, would have been used, but all the planning was done under radio silence.
Well, it has to be late March as the tweets in the article seem be March 30, so give them a week, earliest March 23, still a fortnight between claims and the later tweeted photos, and how do we know the spent missiles in the photos are not UKR?

The Americans were reading the Japanese diplomatic ciphers – a cipher is as different from a code as a soldier is from a Marine – and knew that war was imminent, but believed the Japanese would strike South, against the British and Dutch – the oil of the Netherlands East Indies was their primary war aim – and against the Philippines.
American war plans called for the carrier forces to raid Japanese bases in the Pacific Islands, while the battleship fleet sallied forth, with the aim of fighting the decisive naval battles – along the lines of Jutland – in the Central Pacific, a few months after the outbreak of war.
An unfortunate reminder of reality, elbowed out of the way, while various elephantine frauds were stomping on down to the forum to revel in their own hideousness … 😕

while the battleship fleet sallied forth, with the aim of fighting the decisive naval battles – along the lines of Jutland – in the Central Pacific, a few months after the outbreak of war.
The eventual battleship engagement at Surigao Strait was a sideshow to Leyte Gulf. Had Halsey followed orders and left TF-34 to cover San Bernadino Strait, the resulting clash between the new, fast USN battleships and the Japanese force led by Yamato, with the biggest guns of any battleship in the world, would have been spectacular, but not decisive, as the IJN was pretty much ruined by then.
By sinking the slow battleships at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese forced the more conservative among the US admirals to use what they had available, the aircraft carriers. The US was in a far better position to expand its carrier forces than Japan was.
But very perfectly formed, Rexy.

“Reid MP Fiona Martin told the Sydney Morning Herald some of her decisions sparked the ire of more conservative members of the Liberal Party.
This included her decision to cross the floor over an amendment to the sex discrimination act and her advocacy of net-zero admissions, she told the paper.
“The far right of our party might not like what I’ve done, but I’ve worked to be representative of the people of Reid,” Dr Martin said.”
LOL….oh yes, Martin’s a fool. And I just love her words “far right”, which shows she’s getting desperate. And she calls herself a Liberal! She either doesn’t know her electorate or she’s dismissive of her electorate because the electorate of Reid isn’t Wentworth nor is it North Sydney or Warringah, it’s demographics are completely different, more mainstream Australia, it has a lot of Asians, many of whom are conservative (and Christian) and there’s a high proportion of Muslims in suburbs like Auburn. It isn’t a “progressive” electorate, it’s a conservative electorate.
Fiona Martin is gone and good riddance to her.

The battleships were hardly “obsolete”. Those that were refloated – five out of seven IIRR – went on to fight in WWII. The Nevada, for instance, served in Aleutian Islands, Normandy on D-Day, and at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

calli – I did give a trigger warning, Squirette!
I did. Walt Disney was a steam nut like me. And the original Disneyland Railroad was one several quite large train sets shared between himself and several key members of his original team, like animator Ward Kimball.
But one can honour the historical good bits (and what will ultimately survive the wokestorm. Like the original cartoons, movies and early Pixar stuff) without getting stuck in whatever Maoist mess the current company is melting into…
Thanks, Top Ender.
Edward R Miller’s book “War Plan Orange” – required reading, for my money – makes the point that, by 1941, the relief of the Philippine Islands – deemed almost certain to fall to Japan – was no longer the primary aim of the United States in the opening stages of any Pacific War – a fact, which a certain General MacArthur – former head of the United States Army – should have been well aware.
Clumsily written by me.
The first article simply claimed that the missiles were back in service – and presented video in support. The piece didn’t claim any date for the reintroduction.
As such it doesn’t address, far less discount, the possibility of the missiles being in use well before March 30.
As for the provenance of the missile parts, they could indeed be fired from Ukraine for all I know. I’m relying on Jane’s positive reference for CIT to support its opinion that Russian forces have fielded them and may have used them at Mariupol.
The reality seems to be the things are available on both sides of the conflict.
Beyond that, less clarity…
It’s this simple. And yet they do it anyway.
Rabz, Rex
“Who cares” was rhetorical question as I can’t see the upside in getting on this gay specific train.
Too many yes men and closeted Fellow Travellers on the Disney Board now, I suspect.

JC, I’m not sure you understand quite how deep woke agendas are now permeating through large companies and corporations. The left must politicise everything, including children. In many large corporations today, senior management is beholden to woke agendas that are proselytised and pushed by middle management, particularly those in the company/corporation’s marketing, advertising and HR departments…or if senior management isn’t “beholden”…..they often don’t often know what’s happening under their management. We’ve seen this happen in this country with the targeting of companies who advertise on conservative media like Sky News Oz and Radio 2GB. Sleeping Midgets and other activist organisations target the advertising/marketing departments by bombarding them with emails/tweets….often scaring the company by saying that they’re advertising on media that’s racist/far right etc. etc. It’s only ever a few activists but management and companies are easily intimidated. It’s plain old fashioned cowardice….they cave/capitulate to woke bullying. Disney has done this and so Disney deserves to die.

Lucky theres no coercion allowed in health eh Pete?
Since coercing people into medical treatments is against the law and forms grounds for a charge of assault.
Ahem.
https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/~/media/Files/Corporate/Policy%20Frameworks/Clinical%20Governance%20Safety%20and%20Quality/Policy/WA%20Health%20Consent%20to%20Treatment%20Policy/Supporting/WA-Health-Consent-to-Treatment-Policy.pdf
Compliance with the policy is mandatory. WA Health hospitals/health services must adopt
and follow this policy in toto OR develop local operational policies which are wholly aligned
with the principles of consent set out in this policy. This applies to all treatment, whether
mentioned specifically in this policy or not.
….
1.3 Principles
The policy is guided by key two legal principles which underpin consent:
* Patients have the right of autonomy or self-determination, recognised at law.
* This has been described as the “right of every human being of adult years and sound mind
to determine what shall be done with his own body”.2
* The provision of medical treatment without patient consent exposes health professionals
to risks of legal claims including trespass to the person (assault and battery) and/or
negligence (failure to inform), except in cases where the law permits or requires treatment
without consent.
….
Consent will be valid if it is:
* voluntary – the decision to either consent or not to consent to the proposed treatment
must be made by the patient themselves, and must not be unduly influenced by health
professionals, friends or family
* informed – the patient must receive sufficient information about the proposed treatment to
enable them to make an informed decision
* given by a patient who has capacity (see Glossary) to understand the information
presented to them and to make a decision. Capacity may be diminished by illness, age,
medication, drugs and alcohol (amongst other things)
* current – consent must be reviewed if, after consent was obtained, the patient’s
circumstances (including treatment options and risks) have changed
Gee, thanks, Pol. 😕
McDuk Duk Duk …
He was quite aware of such things and then carefully did exactly what he wanted. Gen. Blamey’s job from Pearl Harbor onwards was Mac-wrangling. A thankless task which by and large he succeeded in doing pretty well. MacArthur must’ve been a total nightmare to handle.
A little more.
Worth mentioning no attempt was made to inquire about consent at todays jab…
There are two legal principles relevant to informed consent:
1. Firstly, consent must be obtained in order to avoid a legal claim for trespass to the person
(in assault, battery or false imprisonment). This requires the health professional to explain
in broad terms the proposed treatment or procedure to the patient.
2. Secondly, health professionals must warn patients of the material risks of the proposed
treatment/s, so that they can make informed decisions about associated risks and
whether they wish to proceed. Providing sufficient information to the patient will negate a
claim in negligence for failure to warn.
Tell that to Snow White!
No you don’t.
The other point about any battleship being “obsolete” in WWII is rather, in fact, pointless.
WWII was a naval gun war in many ways. If you need floating artillery then a battleship is a good way to go. For example D-Day was preceded by massive naval bombardments – without them then the invasion would have been much more dangerous to undertake.
Similarly in the Pacific taking an island was necessarily commenced with a naval arty bombardment. Having big gun ships meant they could be out of the range of any shore arty. So battleships are better than cruisers.
Following WWII battleships did become rather obsolete as capital ships due to the development of carriers and nuclear powered submarines – both platforms then developing to carry nuclear weapons. Even so the USN kept on a few battleships and IIRR used one in the 1990s in the Iraq war.
There is a saying in naval circles “naval gunnery never goes out of style”. It means that the ability to use the ocean as a means to get gunfire support well inland is always useful. Again without checking IIRR HMAS Anzac did some gunfire support in the second Iraq war, punching shells 70k’s inland.
The Big fundies such as pensions are obliged to follow rules and covenants , as you know. If the stock isn’t in the right ESG universe then they don’t even get a look in- regardless earnings , revenues whatever.

I know what you mean, but I’m also not sure if it’s huge, huge issue in the US. This is anecdotal but it’s an excellent representation or big Corp America.
I know someone who commenced work at a large US firm in the past few months. There was about 6 weeks of training and indoc, but the person didn’t really encounter as much woke left bullshit as I expected. Other than the crap about inclusion etc, which appears to me to be the equivalent of our “welcome to the country and your sitting on land owned by the oppororrroooopluluper people”, that was it and the rest was about helping the firm make money. I was actually a little surprised as I expected more.
If you’re on Discord, I’m happy to mention who the firm is.
@ Mole-
I can’t help but imagine someone’s snuck in a little apostrophe or footnote into the Emergency Act, or that policy you reference (Maybe both?) that states:
“All regulations, legislation and policy are hereby suspended without recourse should a State of Emergency be enacted, and remain so until the State of Emergency is cancelled by the appropriate authority.”
And I certainly think that will be the defence the WA.gov lawyers will be using when someone inevitably starts lobbing lawsuits and class actions at them, Katyusha-style…

Net Zero Emissions are:

The difference between Liberal and Labor/Greens is that the Liberal Party Government will keep it’s own Score of the equation while Labor wants the target Legislated, which will result in the Chief Scientist telling the Government what the score is and what needs to be closed down.

Its a criminal, not just a civil crime they have knowingly and deliberately committed.
Correct. The Iowas remained in service until just after 1991, having been cycled in and out of reserve status over the preceding 40-odd years as the strategic situation demanded.
They did naval gunfire support for operations in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, and were refitted as Cruise Missile carriers in the late 80s. They retained their 16″ main guns all the way through.
After the shambles he made of the defence of the Philippines, his military career was largely spent rebuilding his image…..he was just as responsible as anyone for spreading the myth of the “Brisbane Line.”
You, me and no doubt the vast majority of the 75% + of WA’s working population covered by Sneakers’dictates and demands.
And doubly so for the parents they are now targeting.

Similarly in the Pacific taking an island was necessarily commenced with a naval arty bombardment. Having big gun ships meant they could be out of the range of any shore arty. So battleships are better than cruisers.
During one invasion (Kwajalein iirc), the gunfire support ws not silencing Japanese artillery. The TF commander gave the gunfire support commander a “Hurry up”. The gunfire commander defended himself by pointing out the risk of return fire. The TF commander responded with an order to the effect that “Your ships have armour plate fitted. Close in and silence that artillery”.
Somewhere in there was an implicit threat of relief from command.

Are COVID-19 vaccinations voluntary?
The Australian Government’s policy is that COVID-19 vaccinations are voluntary for most Australians, although its aim is to have as many people as possible choose to be vaccinated.
However if they have used coercion of pretty well any sort to achieve “consent”, then its not consent.
Heres a similar issue. Reproductive coercion…
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-24/reproductive-coercion-affecting-domestic-violence-survivors/11223778
Children by Choice senior counsellor Liz Price said reproductive coercion could be defined as any interference with a person’s reproductive autonomy that tried to control if and when they become pregnant, and whether the pregnancy was maintained or terminated.
Pretty well everyone can see thats blatantly wrong.
Yet all thats happening is a person being “encouraged’ to make a decision…
Net Zero Emissions are:
Calculated CO2 emissions minus sequestrated CO2 = Zero.
The difference between Liberal and Labor/Greens is that the Liberal Party Government will keep it’s own Score of the equation while Labor wants the target Legislated, which will result in the Chief Scientist telling the Government what the score is and what needs to be closed down.
Correct.
Net Zero is already Legislated in Germany, they’ve just shut down their last Nuclear Power Station.
Germany is fucked.

Mrs Hayse was a horrible, cruel teacher. Forgetting one’s hanky was a crack over the knuckles with her blackboard ruler. Agony in winter. No parents allowed in her classroom, not even older siblings worried about the blackboard ruler welts on my seven year old legs. A real tyrant.
But she loved my Mother’s accent: uppity South Aussie tinged with a heavy touch of Georgette Heyer. Quite a novelty in outback, redneck Queensland. And so she enrolled me in the poetry entries for the local Eisteddfod. (Spider, spider, what are you spinning? A cloak for a fairy I’m just beginning… and so on.)
I came second – Mrs Hayse’s best performance to date. Consequently, I was never again abused by her blackboard ruler.
Wish I could say the same for the other little kiddies in her class.

So I take it, then, that you are not confident in your ability to defend your claim that John Curtin and his Labor government was going to, as you say, “hand the keys to Australia over to the IJN” in 1942. Except that the Americans and that debbil-debbil Douglas MacArthur got there first and counter-invaded before he could do anything?
George’s resignation from the libtards and national fucktards:
Dear State Secretary,
The current parliamentary term is just days off from drawing to an official end and, as such, I have fulfilled what I believed to be an ethical obligation to serve during that term as a member of the party under whose banner I was elected.
With this obligation now effectively ended, I hereby resign my membership of the Liberal National Party effective immediately.
My resignation should come as no surprise given the public disenchantment I have expressed about the party’s direction, particularly its support of a net zero target and, more so, its failure to take action against vaccine mandates and destructive pandemic policies. I could go on, but this letter is not the time and place for it.
Please know that this decision has not come easily. I have been a member of the party for almost three decades, and know that my decision will upset many, and cause the loss of existing relationships and friendships.
However, I joined the then National Party in the late 1990s because it was THE party for conservatives. In 2022, the Liberal National Party — as an extension of the Liberal Party — seems anything but conservative… and thus, it is no longer my party.
The party needs to undertake some serious soul-searching about what — and who — it stands for. If it wants to be all things to all people, including the Left, then it will do so without the support of conservative voters, and this will see it inhabiting the Opposition benches for many a moon.
Regards,
George Christensen MP

Cassie.
Was Reid the old electorate of Craig Laundry?”
Yep, however Craig Laundy is from a family well known in the Reid electorate. The Laundy family are wealthy hoteliers, millionaires actually, and Laundy grew up in the area, went to St Pat’s College Strathfield and then to St Joseph’s College in Hunters Hill. Last I heard Fiona Martin doesn’t even live in the electorate, she still resides on Sydney’s north shore.
Laundy had a lot of faults but I suspect he knew his electorate more so than Martin.
My sister lives in the electorate, only today she was saying how she’s looking forward to running into Martin campaigning. My sister told me that she’s going to ask Martin two questions, which she’s quite certain that Martin will run away from….
1. Have you moved into the electorate yet?
2. Are you able to provide me with a definition of what a woman is?
I’m sure Martin will probably think my sister is one of those awful far right conservatives who live in Reid…she might even call the police on her.

Your bit about Disney and kiddie fiddlers – spot on.
Something to add here – this phenomenon isn’t just from Disney – it’s from sectors of ALL industries that are being captured by Leftists who have this extraordinary belief that if they are employed by the company then they own the company and can set policy. The Board Members are too frightened of them to kick back at their lunatic ideology, (I except Red Bull the energy drink manufacturer who when he found out what the marketing division was doing, sacked the lot.)

#Uh-Oh
Pell is of the SPC mould.
“After you”…followed by a question to deflect.
But of course…
He is actually a troll.
Always acted like one.
Has no opinions (he’s too scared to put them out there) because he’s not here for the right reasons.
He’s here because his real life is a sad existence and he needs the blog and the interaction.
He is neither right wing, or very political.
He desires club membership.
Oh, he’ll natter away about subjects and distractions from the main issues, but if people are honest, you don’t know what he/she/it, KD, Notafan or any of the collectivists think about the main issues and what their stances are. Their quick to sneer, but too gutless to write one word wall putting their opinions out there, while writing many more paragraphs of sniping bullshit per day… Well, notafan has just basically come out now and admits she likes being a good Nazi.
If you go over to the freedom Australia blog you’ll see (not trying to get numbers up, we don’t get paid through advertising) I predicted his response to a “t” and minutes later, he confirmed it and is still doing so.
Dot:
I had some difficulty opening the file, but was able to download it and open in Open Office.
You’re right – these people are going to extraordinary lengths to stuff this shit into people.
All this talk of the prison kamp – after being released from there, I was (at the age of 17) finally able to try and talk to beautiful young personages of the opposite gender, imbibe litres of chateau cardboard and experiment with copious quantities of various illicit substances, while attempting to become an economist.
As you can see, Cats, none of those mighty efforts were wasted! 😕
Check carefully Winston. Most beer does not have an expiry date.
Usual is a brewing date, or more commonly a bottling/canning date – which can be at times be incomprehensible unless you happen to work at Bletchley Park & have a few hours spare to crack the cipher.
Sometimes a “Best Before” date (which you can ignore, as this is not the same meaning as “use by” or “expiry“)
Keep an eye on it, XXXX have serious form for sending aged stock to country pubs.

My comment and prediction.
KD and Sancho and the rest of the gang are easy to understand.
They are collectivists.
It’s a tribal thing.
They aren’t right wing at all, and once you get that, then they are easily understood.
You’ll note that I always get “put” with other people…they can’t grasp the concept that people are actually individuals.
So when they all ganged up on MV, (oddly enough I did about a certain subject too) I was challenged as to whether I agreed with a certain statement MV made.
I did agree with it and said so.
This made me one of the MV crowd, the opposing tribe.
Ex coppers keep this very tribal view of the world once they leave the force.
Everyone in their groups.
Yet I’ve agreed more with things KD has said, than MV, and had bigger Barnies with MV.
But collectivists must put you in a box and then you are the opposing side and no constructive argument or reasoning is tolerated.
They are desperately lacking in confidence.
You’ll notice I have called Sanchos out to tell us his views and opinions on the hot topics of the day he spends so much time sniping at others about while never putting his own opinion out there for criticism. Don’t hold your breath.
He will reply to me, but it will be no opinion, and all sneer, he isn’t there for the reasons the blog was created..
And not for love nor money could I get KD to denounce Sancho’s lying.
Collectivists.
And lonely men, KD’s private life seems to be up the shit.
No good woman etc.
But they are anything but right wing in nature.
They don’t recognise or understand individualism, and it scares them.
It threatens them, hence KD sees all individualists as grifters or attention seekers.
That’s my opinion for what it’s worth.
Then within minutes.
Me
He will reply to me, but it will be no opinion, and all sneer.
And as expected.
My reply
You just can’t stop lying can you?
You are not holding court here, sunshine.
Out with it all.
Then…..the great opinions and worldy observations and opinions of Panzy Smollett comes to this.
Rabz interesting,
My GF was DLP back in the split and worked his tradie rear off to put his kid through Private Schools.
I was incidentally slated for Marist Bros if dads postings had kept us in Sydney, I was too old for SP and when eligible dad was posted at Holsworthy and lower ranks unable to afford the fees.
Rabz.
Almost every day I walk past the penitentiary where vain attempts were made to beat times tables and Latin verbs into me with the aid of a leather strap.
I allow my dog Spot (not his real name) to piss on their steps.
I know someone that is into that one, he took a lot of drugs and David Icke vids to get there. Lovely bloke, he always had a hot girlfriend on the boil. It is amazing how often you wind up using the word lizard in casual conversation with him without wanting to.
Yes….I’m on Discord JC.
Who are who are who are we.
We are the boys of SPC.
I did like the sound of it.
No he is not. SPC is known among my contemporaries by a very certain name. Cassie and Lizzie have heard it.
The years I spent there, with my backside hard up against the nearest wall* is why I am one of this planet’s most militant atheists.
*All while thinking, “you will be out of here soon”.
“Just shut up, keep a low profile and hope that life outside is better”. Which thankfully, it was. 🙂
“it’s from sectors of ALL industries that are being captured by Leftists who have this extraordinary belief that if they are employed by the company then they own the company and can set policy. The Board Members are too frightened of them to kick back at their lunatic ideology,”
Yes…hence my words above of cowardice and capitulation. There are exceptions but it seems that corporate wokery is quite mainstream now.
Frank.
With the obsessed it’s really pretty hard to shift them off the line.
They simply ignore every attempted subject change and revert to their pet fetish.
Interestingly, I might have a chance here.
None of the Mitcham, Wellcamp or Howard Springs sites are sufficiently fortified or guarded in such a way as to stop a reasonably determined individual getting out. Or in for that matter, as this ‘incident’ we all applauded at Howard Springs demonstrates. They are, in fact utterly dependent on a de facto honour system on the part of the ‘prisoner’ to stay until their term of quarantine is completed.
Another consideration for your prison or concentration camp is location for ease of logistical access , but sufficiently remote that the average person will not have the resources to easily escape and evade. And even more so if your intention is to exterminate your inmates by direct action or outright neglect and overwork. Once again, all 3 sites are appallingly situated- They are all in easy reach of nearby towns, on access routes regularly used by the general public and near airports.
And finally, all are operating in support of coof policies already abandoned by all 3 governments. You will likely find them converted back into some for of transient workers’ accommodation in the case of Wellcamp and Howard Springs (their original intended purpose), or in Mitcham’s case, likely left to rot or be sold off to private interests.
You want to see what a proper latter-day concentration camp looks like in form, function and location, look to Chairman Dan and Sleepy Joe’s paymasters up in Xinjiang. Then compare our little glorified FIFO sites with their chain link fences, desultory attempts at razorwire on top and rent-a-cops doing the rounds every hour or so because their contract KPIs demand it.
And understand it’s not just Australians being shit. The two concepts are utterly unrelated…
Rabz, I saw your prayer up thread. King David said it better in Psalm 94.
He had the major sh*ts too.
Well, strictly speaking neither are you, Struth.
Regardless of how many upticks the Lurker Legions bestow upon you…
Pancho, I’m actually grateful I studied Latin for three years in high school and times tables are still (thankfully) implanted in the remaining grey matter.
As for the strap, sadists will be sadists.
The “Brothers’ House” at SPC was recently demolished. An ol’ boy*, who lives about 1 km down the road with his dear ol’ mum (from Durham) told me so. There was also a recent public apology at Homebush (of all places) for the abuse that erstwhile students were subjected to back in the day.
It should have been held on Oval Number One.
*The brother of three other SPC alumni, including my best mate, who was the only “non religionist” in our form and he was very unrepentant about it as well. Bloody Anglicans (which he wasn’t).
Even though you have no concept of past and present tense, choo choo,at least you tried, as ridiculous as your answer was.
Now I could pick the shit out of it and make you look like a goose.
However, that’s why Sancho won’t do what you’ve just done, because he’s terrified of it.
You’re the dopey one, you just come in dribbling shit without thought, crapping everywhere.
Sancho lives for this blog and he can’t afford to have his opinions held up to scrutiny or maybe ridicule.
He’s terribly lacking in confidence, and that’s why we get his teenage style behaviour.
That’s why he hates big twucks and those terrible big twuckies.
And men in general.
He invents stories and fantasies about slowing them down and giving them the finger….
It’s pathetic, but it’s unfortunately the truth.
So he snipes and offers nothing.
He basically trolls.

My name may be Saul, but there is no road to Damascus looming on the horizon (being underwater as it is).
Razz, the SPC mould is that of Edmund Rice and the Christian Brothers, a charism originally founded on educating boys from underprivileged backgrounds, not always dispensing an easy discipline. Pell attended SPC Ballarat and he was in turn chaplain to the college as well as coach of various sports, rowing for one, maybe even football since he was a footballer once. Now while discipline in years past was in some respects harsh, it was so across the board in society at large. I had a brother who went through the state system and who was terribly abused both in his primary years and later. The times.
O tempora
O mores.
Essentially, though, Pell is of the SPC mould, a very fine mould, and in turn moulded the college – even though later collegians turned on him.

Not sure if that will fit on the side.

And the big question is why? There are three credible explanations:
1. They are just in the borg and don’t need any other explanation than conforming to the zeitgeist.
2. They are being bribed by big pharma, or their bosses are.
3. The Struth explanation; they want us dead and expect the jabbees to kark it in short order.
In accordance with Bayesian logic, I believe all these explanations but by different amounts. I put them in descending order of credibility, but don’t put numbers on them, but my faith in the struth hypothesis is around 0.1.
Are you absolutely sure?
Which, franx, is kaput. The Christian Brothers (who were anything but) no longer exist.
Looking back from afar and from a great height, at my schooldays, they were wonderful times. A time of innocence. But it could not last. Which thankfully it didn’t.
