Mate has picked up a Victorian Martini Henry from the late 1800’s in NZ for peanuts. Nobody wanted it. He cleaned it up, put the camera down the barrel and looks like its never been fired. Mint condition.

Lucky bugger!

I find “Welcome to Country” an insult

why does one need to be welcomed to their own country? from now on I am going to be ticking the indigenous boxes everywhere

Yep – correct. They changed it in 2017:

Subdivision (8C) of the Crimes Act 1958 contains four separate incest offences depending on the relationship between the accused and the complainant. These are:
Sexual penetration of a child or lineal descendant (s50C);
Sexual penetration of a step-child (s50D);
Sexual penetration of a parent, lineal ancestor or step-parent (s50E);
Sexual penetration of a sibling or half-sibling (s50F).

Thats a great movie Calli.

Vest and Y fronts, close your eyes and think of England, Lizzie.

The Britons who conquered the known world didn’t find Y fronts and vests to be an insurmountable problem.
Nor did their women.
Just remember that a Pharaonic concubine would have been indistinguishable from a modern day birthing person.

A curious thought occurred to me as I perused some of the James Webb pictures.
We may be nothing in the universe, but what would we do – as a species – if a bug said to us “Please don’t step on me.”

My impression was that if a person in Saudi Arabia felt their hands were unclean, they gave you a wrist shake.
The concept of an ‘elbow bump’ meant they believed BOTH hands were unclean.

When I got to site all I had to do was dodge a collapsed drunk mole on the concourse while parking, ignore the 8 African yoof fucking around in the de-powered revolving doors and get to the basement to manually drive an MCB which had decided to turn off for no reason.

I reflect back on the terrible scrutiny Trump’s family endured, even analysing his ten year old son’s possible “autism”.

Hiding behind a pseudonym and abusing people over manners?
Yeah, that take a lot of guts.

Hiding behind a pseudonym

Flamer spook flamer flamer spook likely, I’d say, I’d assume and probably.

Your pseudonym still has a lot of making up to do over Joe Burns (Burnsy!) and Bert Ironmonger. If I was responsible for that, along with HMAS Sydney and your anthropology insights I’d be anonymous too, and desperately so.

The shame of walking through the shops with little children yelling out ‘That’s the Captain Detmer gypsum mutton man’ would be far too much to bear.

KD’s old stamping ground around Warracknabeal

Was having a cricket-themed conversation yesterday with a bloke. Turned out he was from Boort.

After some discussion on flat wheat-and-sheep country (yes I know, barely and canola) and frost, we agreed that it would have been good weather out on the Lake. He asked me if I skied.

‘No’, I said. I then called him a ‘richie’ because his family had a ski boat.

Further discussion ensued. Some things never change.

It’s been a dryish and very cold winter so far. The growth in crops has really slowed down as the overnight frosts and cold days take their toll.

Raining in NE VIC after about two weeks of none. Dry n cold.

I’m amused that the usual suspects are still trying to gaslight us about monkey pox, when data like this is so clear:

Data: NYC Monkeypox Infections Overwhelmingly Found in Men (Newsmax, 15 Jul)

New York City remains the highest single locality for monkeypox in America — 321 men, but no confirmed cases among women. The remaining 15 cases either involve transgender persons or cases where the person’s gender is unknown.
…
Also, every confirmed case of monkeypox in New York City has an age range of 20-69, with 35 being the median age.

According to the NYC Health data, there are more than 11,000 worldwide cases of monkeypox, including 1,470 in the United States.

And similar to the New York City breakdown, nearly every monkeypox case has been confirmed in a male.

Heterosexuals have largely avoided the virus, with only two confirmed cases among that group.

Yet WHO is going to have another emergency meeting about the pox this coming week. They all so want another pandemic before the midterms.

remember too that the colonists in Roanoke went into the wilderness to commit bestiality with the barbaric natives

Just a tad racist.

I didn’t realise the Palace Chook was a transvestite male until I saw her in the photo accompanying this article.

She looks like a bloke who had his upper lip waxed yesterday and is wearing a cheap dirty blonde wig. Yikes.

Russia is now the biggest wheat producer in the world?

Yeah.
Russia was the biggest Wheat producer in 1911, then the Bolsheviks and their successors raped Russia for 80+ years.
They’re just getting back to where they were 110 years ago.

Wonders will never cease. I checked the nem and wind power is producing 6.2 GW of power! That’s 75% of its installed capacity. You don’t often see that. Last week it was down under 1GW. That difference in load is the equivalent of two Loy Yang A. A lot to be made up when the windmills are not working.

Cloudless pale blue skies here. It has been the coldest winter of my nine years here at the Bay, and the wettest.

Two years ago a fire was raging in the wetlands not half a kilometre away and we were making plans for a quick departure. I have no doubt the cycle will repeat itself in the next ten years.

Same here. It’s hard to believe that only few years ago we were in serious drought and the air was choked with bushfire smoke for many weeks. Had to keep the house sealed up, and regularly hose the garden plants to keep their airvent thingies from getting fatally blocked.

I was reading about the current ‘heatwave’ in the UK and how the usual suspects are lecturing the public. Just like they do here when summer arrives, as though nobody knows to drink water and stay out of the midday sun.

People in the UK with more than the memory of a goldfish are reminding us about 1976, when the warm weather went on for three weeks.

Three weeks of warm weather!

I know. It’s a miracle that anyone survived.

Lotta guts [mostly hangin’ over your belt].

Firewood is very expensive in this part of the world, although we are surrounded by massive forests.

One reason for this, which I found out via a friend who owns a property outside town, is a rule about taking fallen wood. The story is that fallen wood provides ‘habitat’ to critters, and should therefore be left there to fuel future bushfires. My friend could not even gather fallen branches on her own property.

I repeat, we are surrounded by millions of acres of eucalypts, but gathering bushfire fuel is verboten. The devastating fires of recent memory have had no effect on this loony mindset.

They are fanatics.

Ask Ed. He knows about third world cultural peculiarities.

All Mexican/Central American.
So, yeah, it’s cultural.

A nice Sunday read:

All hands on the ropes

A few excerpts:

St Mary’s Bell Tower captain Margaret Hill said that while bellringing was relatively new in Australia, it was becoming more and more popular among Catholics.

“Bellringing is a very Anglican thing, a lot of Catholics have rung in Anglican churches for a long time, but more recently Catholics have wanted to ring in Catholic churches and many new peals that are going in churches in Australia are in Catholic ones,” she said.

“Catholics are getting a real taste for it and they like it.
…
Dean of the Cathedral Fr Don Richardson said the most important aspect of the cathedral bells is the call to praise God, but they are also a very valuable expression of human culture, and of a civilisation built on Christian foundations.

“When the bells are ringing, you always see people in Hyde Park and College Street looking up at the cathedral, listening to the pealing and if they make people curious or lift their thoughts above the mundane, then the bells are doing their job,” he said.

“Our bells are expressive of many moods, from the joyful peals of weddings, to the somber dignity of the half-muffled mourning ring, the distinctive triple sounding at the Consecration announcing to even passers-by that Christ is present, to the heroically long peals commemorating great events of Church or State.

“One of the very special things about our cathedral bells is that they are rung by real people, not by machines.

“Only the Angelus bells is automated.

Daisey Cousens reckons a travel ban to Bali will increase the price of meat.
If she’s saying that graziers are flooding the saleyards with the expectation that Albanese is going to declare an F&T Outbreak in the near future [100% certainty, imo], then a Travel Ban on Bali would tend to raise retail beef prices.

Bells. My niece in England, daughter of Hairy’s brother, is into campanology.

It is quite a learned skill and takes years of practice. In England in my early adolescence around age eleven I used to sheerly rejoice at the sound of the Sunday bells being rung in the famous old tower on the hill above the gently flowing Avon, all that was left of Evesham Abbey. My nana did char work for the Canon of the Abbey Church and she was given cheap rental in a small rather derelict flat nearby to the tower due to that. She used to go on about the ‘bloody bells’ on her one day of rest, so to avoid her general ire I would hare off to walk the churchyard, taking their dog for a walk under the tower just to hear more of it. My parents were married in that church. Nana sent me to Sunday School in the churchwarden’s house, also nearby. My grandad, as old working men do, shot up as he was in the First World War, used to make up folk tales about the ‘lost Silver Bells of Evesham’, buried during the Civil War under the ruined summer house at the end of the communal garden of our flats, which were medieval in origin.

All of that was pulled down in the mid-60’s including the grand medieval carriage way and its huge black door over which was the bedroom my mother and we three children stayed in, while Nana and Granddad slept in a temporary iron bed in the gloomy cold attic for the eighteen months of our stay. My Aunty had the only other bedroom, a tiny one off the landing of the stairs. Other than that, there was only the kitchen downstairs, with its fuel range and granddad’s battered wing chair next to that, from which he used to hold court to me. When I was thirteen this old hero left me a hundred pounds in his will from his pension money. I gave it to my mother, which I think was not his intention. A large supermarket loading dock now stands over where the silver bells were said to be.

If they were found then, no-one ever mentioned it.

If you don’t like it Ed, make your own platform! This wasn’t made for you, sweetie!
