They want to see you not your clothes vs. clothes make the man
The UN was out the wreck Rhodesia and South Africa through the 60s, 70s and 80s. Now I’m sure they have their eye on us and have for decades. The whole Aboriginal grievance ‘industry’ is nothing to do with Aboriginal advancement and that is demonstrated by their zero concern regarding the treatment of women and minors. It’s all about the UN agenda and undermining Australian sovereignty plus pubic service sinecures for connected people.

Um, your memory may be shot JC, but mine isn’t.
How much were they going to charge you for a squeeky door?
I think your memory mightn’t be as good as you think, numpty.
That was me, you moron.
They listed it on the invoice as optional for $900.
I just laughed and said no thanks very much.
How does it make me somehow deficient because someone quotes me a price for something and I refuse?
The point of that story is that I took the car in the next time and someone fixed it without charging.
Anything else you need reminding on, you just let me know, OK.

DogFacedPonySoldier makes a good point about respecting the choices each individual had to make during the pandemic.
CateringLady upset at the implication that she didn’t “step up” to the covid political challenge. She then proves that she didn’t step up by complaining about how tough it was on her parents in aged care and never says what she did about the problem. D’oh!

I just had a little damage incident (caused by a tradie) which he is claiming on his insurance. Among other things, he damaged an external power point. I know what to do to make it safe, but I got him to send a sparky. That way, if my house burns down, my insurance isn’t voided.
And a few weeks ago I ran into a farmer I used to work for as a kid. In his 80’s now, but still has painful scars on his arms and face.

This is a very important finding. It has long been known that T regs can suppress an immune response against a tumour but this study highlights that it is a specific type of T reg. That opens the door to knocking out those cells which will help immunotherapeutic approaches because at present cancer immunotherapy has limited effects against solid tumours.

He says the government creates money, why shouldn’t it help people get secure housing? Bordering on incoherent here.

I love my book larnin’ Bear. Amazing the things you find.
In other news, the sunset over Darwin tonight was spectacular, aided as it was by great towers of clouds, many grey with stored raindrops. Others white and puffy and back lit with the orange/red setting sun. There was a moment when the great, burning orb touched the sea…faster…faster…and then it was gone. Nothing quite like a tropical sunset over water.
We sat on the roof, a little beer garden perched to catch the cool breeze. Behind me was a most satisfying eavesdroppable conversation about climate bullsh*t and so called “renewables”. It was pleasing to hear someone so much younger than me casually dissecting the whole shambling edifice. And with technical precision to boot.

Rebel News debate…
Everyone says preserving free speech is good, but details of how to do that seem a bit thin.
CauliflowerCoot will stop the upcoming Disinformation Bill, sack the board of the ABC, and support free speech generally. He’s okay with people being free to incite revolution against the government… but he is going to protect religions from criticism somehow? Weird.
CateringLady wants to protect children against bad words and bullying that disrupt mental health. She’s for freedom of speech *but*…. yeah, righto. She can’t define where the line is, making vague references to “common sense”.
LibDruddick goes straight to Constitutional amendment to protect free speech similar to the USA 1A. He says private institutions should be free to infringe free speech, presumably through negotiated free agreement to rules, and that it is only the government that causes a free speech problem.

Beware a LEL.
I suspect this what’s going on in Musk’s big brain.
Tesla’s down 37% from its high. Which means his net worth has probably fallen by about that much.
He was buying Twitter at only 25% off the high.
Meanwhile Facebook is down 50% from the high, which is roughly, very roughly a similar stock for a looksee.
He feels poorer and although may not be looking for a way out, he could be thinking he can end with the stock at a cheaper level.
Shit really changed in terms of market sentiment over the past few weeks.
$43 billion is a huge nut to crack relying just on Tesla stock for net worth.
I dunno, just my guess and thinking out loud.
FMD though, I should have shorted this thing at $52. It would have been a great trade.

I watched that Rebel News debate last night. There were some problems with the format. First off Avi was just showboating, half of his questions were along the lines of “what would you do in Parliament to stop me, specifically, getting arrested for being a dickhead”. Rukshan said little (though this is probably a good thing).
The main problem was that it wasn’t really a debate, because they all took turns in agreeing strongly with each other. It was hard to tell them apart for most of the night. What’s the point of having six or seven blokes in a row when they all say the same thing? “What do you think of FREEDOM” “Yeah nah it’s good but” “Of course I agree” “Sure sure, freedom is good” “Freedom for life!” “Lizard people chemtrails um I mean FREEDOM”
Also there was one cameraperson who seemed to think they were shooting an episode of 24, complete with shakycam and fuzzy objects in foreground.

Yeah, like that time they disagreed on how to solve housing affordability (banks vs Treasury).
Or that time they disagreed on how to protect free speech (Oz1A versus elected Governor General).
Or that time they disagreed on foreign investment (Repatriation versus looser FRB).
Or that time they disagreed on how to pay for tax cuts (tax the rich versus flat tax).
But you didn’t hear any of that. The moment freedom was mentioned the angry red mist of communism descended over Monty’s eyes, all individual differences faded away, and all he could see was The Class Enemy. Four of them. All with an appointment for Monsieur Guillotine.

‘I don’t recall’: SAS soldier’s mission memory fails him
Stephen Rice
NSW EDITOR
@riceyontheroad
7:54PM May 12, 2022
It should have been one of the SAS soldier’s most memorable missions: his last in Afghanistan before going home.
Even more memorable, Nine newspapers allege, because he witnessed Ben Roberts-Smith execute a terrified adolescent “shaking like a leaf” with a pistol shot to the head.
But on Thursday in the Federal Court, the soldier known as Person 11 could recall almost nothing about the 2012 operation in a village called Fasil, except that he was certain Mr Roberts-Smith did not kill the teenager.
“Mr Roberts-Smith went inside a room in the compound with the adolescent who had been handed to you by Person 16 and shot that person in the head with a pistol,” counsel for the newspapers, Nicholas Owens SC, put to the witness. “That’s not true,” Person 11 replied.
Another member of the patrol, a medic known as Person 16, has given evidence in the defamation case brought by Mr Roberts-Smith against the newspapers that he and another soldier manning a checkpoint stopped a Toyota HiLux ute with four men inside.
After finding bomb-making materials in the ute, they took two of the men into custody: an older man with a full beard and a slightly chubby late teen who was “shaking in terror”.
Person 16 said he handed the men to Mr Roberts-Smith and 20 minutes later heard him call over the radio “two EKIA” (enemy killed in action).
Later, the medic claims, Mr Roberts-Smith told him: “I shot that c..t in the head … blew his brains out. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
In court, Person 11, who was a member of the patrol and is a close friend of Mr Roberts-Smith, had little recollection of the mission.
“You and Mr Roberts-Smith went and collected some PUCs (Persons Under Control) from Person 16?” Mr Owens asked.
“I don’t recall collecting PUCs, I don’t really recall the mission, Mr Owens,” Person 11 said.
Mr Owens put it to him that the last mission of the rotation would surely have be memorable.
“We were pretty happy to have things wrapped up,” Person 11 said.
“You can remember what happened on this mission, can’t you?” Mr Owens asked.
“No, I can’t,” said Person 11.
Mr Owens: “One of the EKIAs was shot by Person 56, correct?”
Person 11: “That’s not something that I recall, Mr Owens.”
Mr Owens: “I want to put to you that the other EKIA was shot by Mr Robert-Smith. Correct?”
Person 11: “I don’t recall any engagements.”
Person 11 was shown photographs of a body alleged to be that of the dead youth but said he did not recognise the person and denied that an AK47 assault rifle was placed on the body to give the false impression he had been armed.
He denied the patrol carried weapons that could be used as “throwdowns” – items that could be planted on bodies to make it appear they were combatants.
Mr Roberts-Smith has categorically denied shooting the teenager.
Perhaps all he wanted to do was finish the mission and get the fvck out of the place..and, as pointed out earlier, if you are carrying 30 to 40 kilos of gear, where do you carry a “throw down” AK 47?

I have zero interest in adhering to someone who is 70% correct when the remaining 30% is 100% batshit craziness from the darkest corners of the wompus web that rrsrsrsr would struggle to post, and calling people cock smokers when he absolutely refuses to do the things he demands of others.
If you could point out where ‘struth is correct’ with the abovementioned, Matrix, it would be appreciated.

Flinders Hwy was totally washed out at Mingela a few days ago and effectively cut till Roadtek repair. Given their slovenly work practises who knows when and then it will be a trickle. Alternatives, via Harveys Range rd & Gregory Developmental rd likely to be problematic as well, Star river was 2m over road at the height and they had 1-2″ up that way from squalls last night. Bruce hwy to Ayr was particularly affected especially around Giru. Then there’s the mess from Gumlu to Proserpine that is likely to be even worse now. Burdekin Dam spilled over yesterday too.

Bob Hawke was an applicant for a Rhodes Scholarship, only open to single men. His then girlfriend, Hazel Masterton, became pregnant.

She went alone – Hawke never accompanied her.

the sunset over Darwin tonight was spectacular, aided as it was by great towers of clouds, many grey with stored raindrops. Others white and puffy and back lit with the orange/red setting sun. There was a moment when the great, burning orb touched the sea…faster…faster…and then it was gone. Nothing quite like a tropical sunset over water.
We sat on the roof, a little beer garden perched to catch the cool breeze.

Eddie, being intimately involved in TeeVee, thought there was going to be a yuuuge boost in TeeVee broadcast rights.
He further thought this would flow into a yuuuge increase in salary cap.
He loaded up on back-ended player contracts.

if you mandate a price higher than market, demand collapses.
if you mandate a price lower than market, supply dries up.

JC- The break up fee for TWTR is $1b.
We don’t know the provisions of the deal eggsactly, vr. I’d guess that Musk’s lawyers would have conditioned the deal to the moon and back. Any decent lawyer would do that. Moreover, if he conditioned on them not lying about material disclosures I’m pretty sure they would have agreed to those terms. How could they not.
In any event, if Musk walks it will be the biggest flounce in history.

Trader’s blog opinion
Frankly, it was only a matter of time, given the market conditions, for Elon to impose some hardball tactics with the Twitter board. If it weren’t for the Elon bid the stock would be in the 20s now for sure.
Some believe Elon will pay the $1b break up fee and walk away. I don’t believe that is the case and think the market is assessing correctly the new buyout price, around $40.
Yeah, as I said we don’t know the provisions’ fine print. He could argue the breakup fee, eventually re-bid at say 40 bucks and pony up the fee. In any event, getting the deal at 40 bucks would be a discount of 26% to the original $54.20. He’d save $11 billion and even if he had to pay up $1 billion, it would still mean he saved $10 billion. It’s still a flounce, but a profitable one.

I would expect any break agreement to have a market move clause in it. I would be very surprised if that has not already been triggered, irrespective of what representations have been made/required about users and accounts. If you’re not in the room with a copy of the agreement you will never know.
Rosie, baking is not my forte at all, so I won’t be visiting any helpful sites. I would be a useless reporter of these anyway. There are huge baking competitions held here, and it is quite a thing.
The Director of Activities (aka Hairy) has it all planned out for me anyway, kindly taking note of my interests and of places he’d like to visit or revisit. This is like a Royal Tour and I pity the poor Queen, for to keep moving and meeting up with people and on the hop constantly (plus a lot of figure-improving walking) is exhausting.
Yesterday, for instance, was to be a ‘quiet’ day with a ‘short’ drive. He’s got the gps going now. In the event however we went to Flatford Mill with our picnic lunch, the place where John Constable painted his extraordinary clouds in what are now chocolate-box scenes. As we approached the mill we were driving down country lanes and I thought we’re reach an open field in isolated splendour. No such luck. We round the bend of the last lane and I see a huge tourist bus appear in view, and behind it a very large car park, and that is Constable country today. Visitors everywhere. However, the mill and river and lock are all there, the cottager’s cottage is now a cute little museum (where I bought a handy woolen Boadicca-check rug), and the day was fine, the walkways peppered with ambulant OAP’s.
After lunch we head off and to my surprise I realise we are close to Sutton Hoo again – for his intention is to take me to explore the area of Rendlesham where recent archaeology has suggested a major hall of King Raedwald, of ship burial fame, had his headquarters. No signs at all suggestive of recent archaeology though, so it seems a wild goose chase until I see a sign saying St. Gregory’s Church. It’s a clue, a clue, I say, so turn around, we’ll go there. Cherche le church, I say as I said in the finding of the Bartlow Hills. He’s skeptical and sits in the car while I explore around the church and go into it, to come out exultantly saying yes, I was right, it is St. Gregory the Great, Saxon-named in the early seventh century. No sign to any recent archaeology, but we are on the Raedwald track al right.
Documents inside the church suggest that King Raedwald did have his religious centre here on this sacred site (the church is 13th century). Bede mentions that Raedwald had two altars here: one to the new Christian god and one to the old god/s. Each-way Raedwald, I’ve always called him. More recently that’s made me think of Albo and I thought we might go home now so I could catch up on the Cat and Aussie news.
Not so. Next he drives me to a place called Dunwich, now a small modern village on the Sussex Coast, where a thriving port town in the C13th was gradually taken over by the incoming North Sea, so that the town was holus-bolus sent underwater, to live only in myths of chiming church bells and ghostly apparitions arising at night from the deep. In his Last Kingdom series Bernard Cornwall has my hero Uhtred there fighting and setting fire to a tavern of rowdies who were after his blood. More mythology, I murmur.
To round off the day with even more long hours of country by-ways driving (very scenic, and during which I demolished the best part of my fruit gum collection as a pick-me-up) we arrived at Aldborough much further along the coast, where a Tudor Moot Hall on the seafront is the main point of interest, although the town itself is attractive and redolent for Hairy as he spent a holiday there with his family in his teenage years. They played golf a lot there, but thankfully he didn’t insist on finding the golf course. We bought some lightly smoked haddock to have for dinner that night (we have a kitchen where we are). Freshly caught and smoked in Aldborough, and very delicious it was too.

Today we took the train from Colchester to London Liverpool St Station, and tubed it to Australia House and did our civic duty giving Daniel Lewkovic LDP our vote in Reps and Senate. If he doesn’t get at least two votes from the UK we will know something is wrong with the system. Outside stood four people offering how-to-vote material – two for Labor and two for Liberals. No others at all. I took the Liberal handout just to publicly show my general inclinations and took pleasure in saying No Thanks to Labor. This was noted by a young woman who also followed us in to nominate the Wentworth Electorate in NSW. She sniffed to one side of me carrying my Liberal folder, nominating an address in Woollahra near Vaucluse where we are, and Hairy and I looked knowingly at each other: a classic Allegra-voter clone.
We ambled out of Australia House’s magnificent marble (all Australian marble), built in 1918. Over the front entrance is an Edwardian sculpture of two Romanesque-draped women fussing over a shield, the one on the right scantily clad around the boozums and the one on the left entirely unclad on them. Hairy shyly confessed to being greatly impressed with these ladies when aged thirteen he travelled to school on the top of a double decker bus past them. Especially the very perky chest-feeders (to use the modern parlance) of the unclad one on the left. Impressionable young boys had to take whatever they could in eye-candy back in those days, he explained.
We then wandered into St. Clement Dane’s (of the ‘bells of St. Clements’ fame), a Wren-church severely bombed in 1940 and beautifully restored now. It serves today as an RAF church and is perfectly kept with memorabilia and service details. Outside this church are two statues, one of ‘Bomber Harris’, head of bomber command (in strife these days for ordering heavy bombing of German cities) and the other of Lord Dowding, head of Fighter Command, where the inscription credits his organisational skills and leadership abilities with actually winning the Battle of Britain. Without him, it would have been lost, the inscription bravely states. Without my dad working on the spitfire engines too, I add to myself.
Reliving Hairy’s days as a male chorister at the Temple Church, we put our noses into the church for a reccie there, and walk through the Inner Temple garden where as a younger choirboy he used to play antique children’s games of Prisoner’s Base and Jimmy Knacker (a rough one). Half of these gardens have been fashionably left to be ‘meadow gardens’, full of various flowers spilling over pathways, and with cow parsley, which fills the countryside in Spring as now, signifying the country intent. Hairy prefers it the way they were, formal, but I quite liked the wilder look with flowers everywhere piled high. Only problem was they started off a sort of hay fever in me, and hence when we went to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese place (where Dr. Johnson and John Donne used to hang out) and met with two old College friends of Hairy’s, I kissed the one I knew, put my hand out to the one I didn’t (a very high up knight government official these days, and also ex-master of an Oxford College), I was totally embarrassed by a coughing fit I couldn’t control. In Covid-conscious London, not a good look, but I mastered it sufficiently to redeem myself in their eyes over lunch. We ended up taking lunch elsewhere as there was a forty minute wait at the famous cheese shop; we ate at a famous hang-out of journalists from Fleet Street.
We walked Ludgate, Newgate, Aldersgate, the Old Bailey, Smithfield (once Smoothfield) and took a moment to ponder where Richard 11 met Wat Tyler, and where William Wallace was ‘executed’. Two men centuries apart who heard freedom’s call and died for it.

We finished off today with a quick look at the pre-historical and Roman section of the Museum of London, which was noisy as it is currenting undergoing a big renovation. Came home to cook our British lamb chops with some Waitrose vegies. We have eaten out such a lot that these brief forays into my home cooking seem rather good. Miracles never cease. We leave here tomorrow and head to the Norfolk Broads, waterways for them what likes such. Our friends who have now sold their narrowboat recommend a day out on a self-drive boat here, but I am dubious.
Norfolk are folk from the North, and Suffolk are folk from the south. Not to be confused with the Sussex (South Saxons) and Essex (East Saxons). More to ponder on in my dreams. It’s bedtime here.

CateringLady upset at the implication that she didn’t “step up” to the covid political challenge. She then proves that she didn’t step up by complaining about how tough it was on her parents in aged care and never says what she did about the problem. D’oh!
Here’s the thing.
Gifted amateurs taking on tasks they aren’t qualified for are a menace.
I just had a little damage incident (caused by a tradie) which he is claiming on his insurance. Among other things, he damaged an external power point. I know what to do to make it safe, but I got him to send a sparky. That way, if my house burns down, my insurance isn’t voided.
And a few weeks ago I ran into a farmer I used to work for as a kid. In his 80’s now, but still has painful scars on his arms and face.
Amateur welder.

Not sure there are any votes in the Antarctic (doesn’t hurt to be pro polar bear just to be on the safe side. Some of my best friends are polar bears.)
He underestimated.
He doesn’t even iron his own jeans. I suspect he may own a pair of driving moccasins though.
Solid tumors use a type of T cell as a shield against immune attack
This is a very important finding. It has long been known that T regs can suppress an immune response against a tumour but this study highlights that it is a specific type of T reg. That opens the door to knocking out those cells which will help immunotherapeutic approaches because at present cancer immunotherapy has limited effects against solid tumours.

It’s fair to say that we didn’t really have a handle on the bug until about June(ish) 2020 and with an unknown such as that, it’s not out of the ordinary to be on the cautious side. It’s not good to use Harry Hindsight.

RebelNews debate…
DogFacedPonySoldier reckons commercial banks should stay out of the low-income housing market, wants to rebrand affordable housing as essential infrastructure, and wants government to own the mortgages via a treasury bonds! He wants the government to be the servant of the people, while the government owns their house until they pay it off. He says the government creates money, why shouldn’t it help people get secure housing? Bordering on incoherent here.

I love my book larnin’ Bear. Amazing the things you find.
In other news, the sunset over Darwin tonight was spectacular, aided as it was by great towers of clouds, many grey with stored raindrops. Others white and puffy and back lit with the orange/red setting sun. There was a moment when the great, burning orb touched the sea…faster…faster…and then it was gone. Nothing quite like a tropical sunset over water.
We sat on the roof, a little beer garden perched to catch the cool breeze. Behind me was a most satisfying eavesdroppable conversation about climate bullsh*t and so called “renewables”. It was pleasing to hear someone so much younger than me casually dissecting the whole shambling edifice. And with technical precision to boot.
Wasn’t Musk banging her while she was with Depp?
DogFacedPonySoldier – who is that? which party?
Careful with the chemtrails stuff. I think they might be onto something.
Sancho Panzer says: May 13, 2022 at 7:51 pm
DogFacedPonySoldier was pretty close to it, mentioned “geoengineering” and weather modification, then quickly pivoted to a different topic.
An aside about Bill Shorten rounding up sheep. Completely defensible if you ask me (which admittedly some of mine aren’t and have to be kicked into the long grass).
Cloud seeding is fine. Needs watching though.
Geoengineering?
Shit!
Wasn’t that one of the things Bird used to bang on about?
Along with nano-wrigglers.
Sorry.
It was “terra-forming”.

That’s getting close to being left for eternally as “pending”

If it goes from peach to purple, then it’s been shoved in the “too hard” & will remain pending for the rest of your life.
Anyone care to speculate as to what sort of dysfunctional shambles will result from that?
ok thanks Berka- these nut cases don’t help our cause, Bosi on steroids by the sound of things.
Technically, chem trails are a thing. Jet engines are very hot and release small amounts of transition metal oxides & rare earth oxides in vapour trails…
I don’t think we’re being mass vaccinated though.
It is interesting how the albedo changed in 2001 after air travel stopped.

Had Big Social Media not been so Himmler-like in cancelling everybody to the right of Lenin, they’d not have the problem of people setting up 4 or 5 accounts each, just to be sure.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha JC.
If encumbent management are bullshitting Musk, they will be in a world of pain.
Imagine a shareholder sitting on, say, 50,000 shares.
Last week he is looking at a $2.7m payday.
If Musk walks because they have salted the mine, he is down to maybe $1.7m.
That is pitchfork and burning torches time.
Also he may realize that he can get it cheaper if the fakes exceed 5% threshold as tech has basically crashed.

Rebel News debate…
Everyone says preserving free speech is good, but details of how to do that seem a bit thin.
CauliflowerCoot will stop the upcoming Disinformation Bill, sack the board of the ABC, and support free speech generally. He’s okay with people being free to incite revolution against the government… but he is going to protect religions from criticism somehow? Weird.
CateringLady wants to protect children against bad words and bullying that disrupt mental health. She’s for freedom of speech *but*…. yeah, righto. She can’t define where the line is, making vague references to “common sense”.
LibDruddick goes straight to Constitutional amendment to protect free speech similar to the USA 1A. He says private institutions should be free to infringe free speech, presumably through negotiated free agreement to rules, and that it is only the government that causes a free speech problem.
I hope Musk does walk away from Twitter. He doesn’t need the distraction. I wonder what it will fall to afterwards?
no more than you could demonstrate that he isn’t correct
I struggle to believe you ever even did ‘science’
mind you, your stuttered repetitive gibbering almost to the point of uncontrollable Tourette’s isn’t helping your cause
every-time you wanking cartel members crap on, there’s about 4x more rubbish to scroll
when are you dumb-arses gonna work out that you’re the problem?
Thancho I knew a bloke who did the same thing with the fuel tank. Looked in two directions at once after that. How he didn’t go blind I don’t know.
In this instance I was referring to the red fisho herself, not the musical detractor. Sorry that was not the best pseudonym to use.
Sock accounts are worthless?
Has Googlery been told?
LibDruddick says it is a national security imperative to get PNG to put a team into our National Rugby League competition.
It’s a plan so crazy it might even work.
The tank is never as empty as you think it is.
This bloke ended up with burns on his neck, chest and both arms.
Didn’t affect his upper face (maybe the mask protected him a bit).
Has it occurred to you that this may be a mutual problem?
Sancho
Beware a LEL.
I suspect this what’s going on in Musk’s big brain.
Tesla’s down 37% from its high. Which means his net worth has probably fallen by about that much.
He was buying Twitter at only 25% off the high.
Meanwhile Facebook is down 50% from the high, which is roughly, very roughly a similar stock for a looksee.
He feels poorer and although may not be looking for a way out, he could be thinking he can end with the stock at a cheaper level.
Shit really changed in terms of market sentiment over the past few weeks.
$43 billion is a huge nut to crack relying just on Tesla stock for net worth.
I dunno, just my guess and thinking out loud.
FMD though, I should have shorted this thing at $52. It would have been a great trade.

CateringLady reckons we need tought questions and diplomacy to win that battle of hearts and minds in Tonga, Fiji, and the Solomon islands before they get owned by China.
Sooo basically there will be a Pacific Domino Effect.
Does this mean we can only stop the Pacific Domino Effect with a Vietpalm War? 😛
Sanchez
We’re both here at the same time. I wonder what this means? Driller’s a little jealous I think, as his pile on gang has disappeared. Hankering for the good times. He was remonstrating about it last evening. Sad for him and I really empathize.
I watched that Rebel News debate last night. There were some problems with the format. First off Avi was just showboating, half of his questions were along the lines of “what would you do in Parliament to stop me, specifically, getting arrested for being a dickhead”. Rukshan said little (though this is probably a good thing).
The main problem was that it wasn’t really a debate, because they all took turns in agreeing strongly with each other. It was hard to tell them apart for most of the night. What’s the point of having six or seven blokes in a row when they all say the same thing? “What do you think of FREEDOM” “Yeah nah it’s good but” “Of course I agree” “Sure sure, freedom is good” “Freedom for life!” “Lizard people chemtrails um I mean FREEDOM”
Also there was one cameraperson who seemed to think they were shooting an episode of 24, complete with shakycam and fuzzy objects in foreground.
Morgan was the most insane of the lot of them, but they were all off their rocker. Apart from Limbrick, he was just boring.
Well, we just blundered into Harlem and recorded a gospel song … 🙂

Daughter number 2 just let me know that a teacher at her school just got charged with 24 counts of P including at least one instance of penetration.
Naturally she was the school’s LGBTQI+ advocate and coordinator.
No pattern here at all…..
Yeah, like that time they disagreed on how to solve housing affordability (banks vs Treasury).
Or that time they disagreed on how to protect free speech (Oz1A versus elected Governor General).
Or that time they disagreed on foreign investment (Repatriation versus looser FRB).
Or that time they disagreed on how to pay for tax cuts (tax the rich versus flat tax).
But you didn’t hear any of that. The moment freedom was mentioned the angry red mist of communism descended over Monty’s eyes, all individual differences faded away, and all he could see was The Class Enemy. Four of them. All with an appointment for Monsieur Guillotine.
That… heh heh… that was just the communist rage building within. The camera was fine!
CateringLady reckons we need tought questions and diplomacy to win that battle of hearts and minds in Tonga, Fiji, and the Solomon islands before they get owned by China.

On being proven wrong, the rancor just set in. It’s haymakers every morning from him, and people wonder why people fire one back, and right down the pipe as well.

I have zero interest in adhering to someone who is 70% correct when the remaining 30% is 100% batshit craziness from the darkest corners of the wompus web that rrsrsrsr would struggle to post, and calling people cock smokers when he absolutely refuses to do the things he demands of others.

Just wondering why you’re so wound up and abusive to people here?
look that up did you?
the problem with faulty rhetoric is that it is relatively easy to pull apart
I think you don’t know when you’re being fucked with

you’re full of shit, milt
listen to your shame-based gibber
value-laden and vacuous … what? everybody needs to conform to your idea of proper
don’t make me go back and dredge out out the vicious crap that you unleash from time-to-time
Dover Beach:
Then Turkey can go ally itself with some other market group that will put up with his bullshit.
…and take back all the Turks in the EEC who supply him with lots of lovely foreign currency.
Just putin’ it out there – did anyone see the immaculate Brunette from Compass Polling on Sky after dark on Thursday night?
The most magnifique hair, evah. 🙂
Cryptocurrencies are a gigantic scam. It should be illegal to promote them in any form. Luckily, as they are now worth nothing, governments can ban them without any blowback.
The bonhomie* and good humour needs a lift.
I expect to see a big improvement tomorrow.

g’night retards
sancho, try not to say stupid shit
Sancho Panzer:
I refused because I’m a grumpy old fart from the National Grumpy Old Fart Church.
Also I’m a committed Contrarian with Sadistic Tendencies.
So, up yours.
Shithead.
Just home from a gig.
Sunday blues arvo cancelled due to floods.
More time to harass the peanut gallery here I suppose.
Look, I’d like to take credit for living in the heads of cock smokers but as good as I am , I must admit that by myself that level of antagonism creating the mind consuming emotional fits we witness requires help.
I’ll let you in on my weapon of choice.
The truth.
Look what it does to the pathetic.
Every time.
How come the gig ended so early?
What we witness here daily is pathetic people, disgusted with themselves but unwilling to admit it , fight truth by lying and fabricating narratives to which they then attack.
Complete nuff nuff , loopy shit to witness.
The anger that should be directed at the government instead gets directed at those holding a mirror up which is of course reflecting submission and failure back at them.
From the times I had to lead and unite 50 people from around the globe to become a travelling, functioning tribe while traveling around Australia, I have found the study of humans fascinating.
The inspirational or like here, the many pathetic of weak minds, character and will, all are open books.
730 until 1130.
Doesn’t take long to pack up a couple of guitars and a Bose stack.

Sancho is only here to dribble shit.
24/7 and never an opinion given.
Just teenage, confidence lacking hang ups shown by laughable over compensating.
Wow, early start.
I’m accustomed to; 2130 until 0200
Is there anyone even around at 7.30 of a Friday night?
Pub has good restaurant and it’s my job to keep them after a feed and bring them into the next room.
So quiet start and then see how we go.
James Taylor and crowded house etc type quiet stuff etc…none offensive back ground while they finish eating then party after that.
It would be good to have a chat about pubs with you one day.
Even in my younger days in Alice we’d go hard until about one in the morning and as the punters got too pissed we then sent them down the road to cause trouble elsewhere.
We don’t know the provisions of the deal eggsactly, vr. I’d guess that Musk’s lawyers would have conditioned the deal to the moon and back. Any decent lawyer would do that. Moreover, if he conditioned on them not lying about material disclosures I’m pretty sure they would have agreed to those terms. How could they not.
In any event, if Musk walks it will be the biggest flounce in history.
Trader’s blog opinion
Yeah, as I said we don’t know the provisions’ fine print. He could argue the breakup fee, eventually re-bid at say 40 bucks and pony up the fee. In any event, getting the deal at 40 bucks would be a discount of 26% to the original $54.20. He’d save $11 billion and even if he had to pay up $1 billion, it would still mean he saved $10 billion. It’s still a flounce, but a profitable one.
I would expect any break agreement to have a market move clause in it. I would be very surprised if that has not already been triggered, irrespective of what representations have been made/required about users and accounts. If you’re not in the room with a copy of the agreement you will never know.
Rosie, baking is not my forte at all, so I won’t be visiting any helpful sites. I would be a useless reporter of these anyway. There are huge baking competitions held here, and it is quite a thing.
The Director of Activities (aka Hairy) has it all planned out for me anyway, kindly taking note of my interests and of places he’d like to visit or revisit. This is like a Royal Tour and I pity the poor Queen, for to keep moving and meeting up with people and on the hop constantly (plus a lot of figure-improving walking) is exhausting.
Yesterday, for instance, was to be a ‘quiet’ day with a ‘short’ drive. He’s got the gps going now. In the event however we went to Flatford Mill with our picnic lunch, the place where John Constable painted his extraordinary clouds in what are now chocolate-box scenes. As we approached the mill we were driving down country lanes and I thought we’re reach an open field in isolated splendour. No such luck. We round the bend of the last lane and I see a huge tourist bus appear in view, and behind it a very large car park, and that is Constable country today. Visitors everywhere. However, the mill and river and lock are all there, the cottager’s cottage is now a cute little museum (where I bought a handy woolen Boadicca-check rug), and the day was fine, the walkways peppered with ambulant OAP’s.
After lunch we head off and to my surprise I realise we are close to Sutton Hoo again – for his intention is to take me to explore the area of Rendlesham where recent archaeology has suggested a major hall of King Raedwald, of ship burial fame, had his headquarters. No signs at all suggestive of recent archaeology though, so it seems a wild goose chase until I see a sign saying St. Gregory’s Church. It’s a clue, a clue, I say, so turn around, we’ll go there. Cherche le church, I say as I said in the finding of the Bartlow Hills. He’s skeptical and sits in the car while I explore around the church and go into it, to come out exultantly saying yes, I was right, it is St. Gregory the Great, Saxon-named in the early seventh century. No sign to any recent archaeology, but we are on the Raedwald track al right.
Documents inside the church suggest that King Raedwald did have his religious centre here on this sacred site (the church is 13th century). Bede mentions that Raedwald had two altars here: one to the new Christian god and one to the old god/s. Each-way Raedwald, I’ve always called him. More recently that’s made me think of Albo and I thought we might go home now so I could catch up on the Cat and Aussie news.
Not so. Next he drives me to a place called Dunwich, now a small modern village on the Sussex Coast, where a thriving port town in the C13th was gradually taken over by the incoming North Sea, so that the town was holus-bolus sent underwater, to live only in myths of chiming church bells and ghostly apparitions arising at night from the deep. In his Last Kingdom series Bernard Cornwall has my hero Uhtred there fighting and setting fire to a tavern of rowdies who were after his blood. More mythology, I murmur.
To round off the day with even more long hours of country by-ways driving (very scenic, and during which I demolished the best part of my fruit gum collection as a pick-me-up) we arrived at Aldborough much further along the coast, where a Tudor Moot Hall on the seafront is the main point of interest, although the town itself is attractive and redolent for Hairy as he spent a holiday there with his family in his teenage years. They played golf a lot there, but thankfully he didn’t insist on finding the golf course. We bought some lightly smoked haddock to have for dinner that night (we have a kitchen where we are). Freshly caught and smoked in Aldborough, and very delicious it was too.
Today we took the train from Colchester to London Liverpool St Station, and tubed it to Australia House and did our civic duty giving Daniel Lewkovic LDP our vote in Reps and Senate. If he doesn’t get at least two votes from the UK we will know something is wrong with the system. Outside stood four people offering how-to-vote material – two for Labor and two for Liberals. No others at all. I took the Liberal handout just to publicly show my general inclinations and took pleasure in saying No Thanks to Labor. This was noted by a young woman who also followed us in to nominate the Wentworth Electorate in NSW. She sniffed to one side of me carrying my Liberal folder, nominating an address in Woollahra near Vaucluse where we are, and Hairy and I looked knowingly at each other: a classic Allegra-voter clone.
We ambled out of Australia House’s magnificent marble (all Australian marble), built in 1918. Over the front entrance is an Edwardian sculpture of two Romanesque-draped women fussing over a shield, the one on the right scantily clad around the boozums and the one on the left entirely unclad on them. Hairy shyly confessed to being greatly impressed with these ladies when aged thirteen he travelled to school on the top of a double decker bus past them. Especially the very perky chest-feeders (to use the modern parlance) of the unclad one on the left. Impressionable young boys had to take whatever they could in eye-candy back in those days, he explained.
We then wandered into St. Clement Dane’s (of the ‘bells of St. Clements’ fame), a Wren-church severely bombed in 1940 and beautifully restored now. It serves today as an RAF church and is perfectly kept with memorabilia and service details. Outside this church are two statues, one of ‘Bomber Harris’, head of bomber command (in strife these days for ordering heavy bombing of German cities) and the other of Lord Dowding, head of Fighter Command, where the inscription credits his organisational skills and leadership abilities with actually winning the Battle of Britain. Without him, it would have been lost, the inscription bravely states. Without my dad working on the spitfire engines too, I add to myself.
Reliving Hairy’s days as a male chorister at the Temple Church, we put our noses into the church for a reccie there, and walk through the Inner Temple garden where as a younger choirboy he used to play antique children’s games of Prisoner’s Base and Jimmy Knacker (a rough one). Half of these gardens have been fashionably left to be ‘meadow gardens’, full of various flowers spilling over pathways, and with cow parsley, which fills the countryside in Spring as now, signifying the country intent. Hairy prefers it the way they were, formal, but I quite liked the wilder look with flowers everywhere piled high. Only problem was they started off a sort of hay fever in me, and hence when we went to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese place (where Dr. Johnson and John Donne used to hang out) and met with two old College friends of Hairy’s, I kissed the one I knew, put my hand out to the one I didn’t (a very high up knight government official these days, and also ex-master of an Oxford College), I was totally embarrassed by a coughing fit I couldn’t control. In Covid-conscious London, not a good look, but I mastered it sufficiently to redeem myself in their eyes over lunch. We ended up taking lunch elsewhere as there was a forty minute wait at the famous cheese shop; we ate at a famous hang-out of journalists from Fleet Street.
We walked Ludgate, Newgate, Aldersgate, the Old Bailey, Smithfield (once Smoothfield) and took a moment to ponder where Richard 11 met Wat Tyler, and where William Wallace was ‘executed’. Two men centuries apart who heard freedom’s call and died for it.
We finished off today with a quick look at the pre-historical and Roman section of the Museum of London, which was noisy as it is currenting undergoing a big renovation. Came home to cook our British lamb chops with some Waitrose vegies. We have eaten out such a lot that these brief forays into my home cooking seem rather good. Miracles never cease. We leave here tomorrow and head to the Norfolk Broads, waterways for them what likes such. Our friends who have now sold their narrowboat recommend a day out on a self-drive boat here, but I am dubious.
Norfolk are folk from the North, and Suffolk are folk from the south. Not to be confused with the Sussex (South Saxons) and Essex (East Saxons). More to ponder on in my dreams. It’s bedtime here.
Glad to see the truth is finally sinking in with the public. Howard and Morrison have had the highest tax takes of the past thirty years.
