Oh for sure. Cops fairly gild the lily amongst themselves, bit of a flex to the common man.
Nurses are catty, can’t blame them, though I think discretion and judgement is an essential part of their DNA too. There’s blowhards in the bunch, obvs.
I’m a blowhard, try it on a bit here, exagerrate.

Doesn’t aboriginal mean first peoples?

For Shame! Don’t you know that many ‘First Nations” people consider the use of the term ‘Aborigine’ racist? Aboriginal people are a diverse group of individuals and use of the term ‘Aborigine’ has negative connotations imposed during colonisation and can perpetuate prejudice and discrimination..

How about Abo, is that better.

Real advice: You are old and probably dont bring anything great to the relationship. Have you considered joining a convent or becoming a recluse whos desiccated cat defiled corpse will be found a decade after your inevitable unnoticed demise when the stack of mail left at your door presents a fire hazard?

Lizzie’s considered advice: Philippa, a lot of men are rats, but some aren’t. Keep looking because men enjoy being settled too and love can conquer all at any age. You aren’t old, so stop feeling it. Do something about your face, your figure, your hair and your clothes. This will make you feel better, and feeling better you will be more interesting to men. All men want to feel they are winning a prize of some sort and trust is part of that package. Read widely so you have something interesting to say, check the biographies of adventurous women (fine men turn up in unusual places), and change your general thinking towards being happy. Happiness is attractive.

—-

ps Cats, my Big Sis found husband number six when she was 72. She’s 82 now. He’s 86.
He’s a writer and musician, and definitely the best of them all for her. He adores her.
When she sent off number 5 a psychologist told her to desist from men for a year; she had attracted number 6 within three months, and called carpe diem on it.
No point in wasting time at her age, she reasoned. lol.

Stop being sensible Lizzie it’ll never catch on. I sometimes think there’s more sense spoken at the Cat than the rest of Australia. Has it become too hard to think anymore. 10 yr olds have more comprehension than most adults these days. FTA viewing sums up the level of intelligence. Reality shows have stretched to incredulous. Moronic the standard IQ it seems. Politicians leading the way.

An in other news, I am absolutely gobsmacked (even though, yes, it is Victoria) that Andrews is still Premier after the rorts revealed last week. I mean, seriously, Fatty O’Barrell resigned over one fucking bottle of wine and Andrews and Cabinet have appointed non-experienced people to senior roles based on factional preferences.

Send the fucking asteroid. Now.

It’s effectively a one party state, where that party has spend a decade + putting “the right people” in every aspect of governance. On the rare occasion they “lose” an election everything works against the governing party until Labor get back in. Andrews has just further refined it by planting his own loyalists everywhere and excising anyone who might challenge him.
Couple that with an absolutely worthless liberal party “opposition”, media in the tank for Labor, and no real oversight or avenue to challenge things and there’s no reason for the scumbag to care. It’s pretty much a straight will to power types win situation, and Andrews has it in spades with a stacked deck to boot.

Yep, not wrong this one time Walter.

You had the Driller blowharding something terrible about small towns last evening. It’s not often we see him so effervescent.

Just a small correction to your contrition though. Last evening the discussion was about drugs in general. You have subsequently curve balled the your recent comment about dope… and only dope. Bad Walter.

Dear Phillipa-
Men’s, and women’s, essential natures have not changed in a million years- there are still gems, cads, bounders, faithful devotees, philanderers, torch-bearers, liars, and hard-dogs-to-keep-on-the-porch.
The evolution of technology communications has not changed human duplicity and fallibility. Neither has the advent of the wonders of medicine, the pill, viagra, gay marriage, tracking devices, catfishing websites or dating apps.
And, your advanced age and fairer sex will not grant you immunity from, or extra foresight into, the failings of your fellow man. If anything, you’d have to concede that being an older woman will mean that you are probably viewed as an easier target for exploitation.
I suggest that if your judgement of character and negotiations around your desires for sexual propriety are still not kicking in after all, then you should get a dog. They are good judges of character, will attract the right type of person (of either sex) to you, and will be companionship, whatever happens.

This is worth your time to read.

This is a tale of two Indian states, both alike in dignity, that used different control measures for covid.

We should be grateful for the people of Kerala, a state of 36 million souls, who, by electing a communist to rule over them, thus self-selected to be the control group in our experiment. Exactly the same as Australia, the government of Kerala banned the use of ivermectin and relied upon vaccination.

The state of Uttar Pradesh, with a population of 238 million, instead chose to distribute ivermectin cheaply as a prophylactic.

Indian states, cases to date, per capita:

This can happen.
I know two retired coppers in town.
One ex-uniform (“Baz”) and one ex-suit (“Kev”).
Baz is the husband of one of Mrs P’s friends. Kev I have known since school. Kev is a man of few words. Baz is a little more verbose.
Out for coffee one morning and bump into Baz who regales us with a story of a raid he had been involved in to catch a particular well known Melbourne crook who was laying low in the area. First person pronouns were first through the door.
I re-told this to Kev a few weeks later. He listened to the end and said, “The first thing Baz fucking knew about it was when his missus read the Herald Sun to him the next morning.”

Sancho:

No copper worth his salt drops casual hints to the public about “drug barons” unless he actually wants whatever “gem” he is whispering out of the corner of his mouth to make it’s way onto the grapevine.

The coppers know they can’t take out every druggie because someone who deals seriously enough can afford a top flight lawyer. If he loses the case, it’s probably a black mark on his record especially if he’s just cost the system a fair few quid out of their budget.
The ‘gem’ inserted into the grapevine is a warning to the miscreant that they are being looked at – closely.

Because you can bet said blowhard will be down at the RSL blowharding about it the next night.
And very shortly after that the crooks will know precisely what Constable Vinnie Voluble knows (or thinks he knows).
Most good coppers don’t tell you what they know. They will ask the blowhard a couple of open questions and sit back and listen. They probably won’t learn anything new, but they might.

Have you been to your local public library recently? I’ve always bought my own books so never bothered with them, but I started taking the kids to my local library a few years ago. Just recently, I began to browse the non-children sections while waiting for the kids to choose their books. I’m sure it wouldn’t surprise anyone that the average librarian is a lefty, but man…if you find a book that’s political – even slightly – it will always be left/progressive. I’ve tried to find something in the non-fiction section written from even the most milquetoast right-of-centre perspective imaginable, and there’s nothing.

Something else I’ve noticed – so much fiction pitched at teens and tweens is so freaking depressing. Suicides, deaths of best friends or parents, bullying, loneliness, dysfunction…lots of these kinds of narratives in books floating around for the kids today. Misery sells, apparently.

One of the directors for George Soros’ Open Society Foundations who specializes in public health, Sebastian Köhn, shares in the Guardian how he had sex with multiple men in a weekend for NYC Pride & contracted both #monkeypox & gonorrhea. He blames the system for failing him.

They left out the words ‘whom he did not even know.’

AIDS was spread bigtime by the ‘bath-house’ scene where men would go and have anonymous sex with multiple partners. Apparently this is a turn-on. It’s a male thing. Lesbians don’t do that.

I don’t care what form of sex people have, among consenting adults. But doing it without considering the consequences is a whole other ball game. There is no shortage of information out there about the dangers of unprotected sex. Can’t even muster a tiny violin.

He’s lucky he didn’t get AIDS – although maybe he did, he needs to wait three months to find out.

Interesting that the differences between the two gay scenes never gets mentioned as some form of innate sex difference. Glory holes takes the whole idea of objectification to its extreme, we don’t even need the whole person for sex, just the wet bits. Not a woman thing that.

But scoffing and ignoring reality is cowardice when men react this way.

And that’s fucking low and intolerable.

It’s beyond a doubt now that the elites of the world, via the WEF, the WHO and the UN (all one and the same) , are at war with the west, and are at war with democracy and the nation states.
In my opinion they are the same people as communists with the same meglomania and hatred of humanity.
And communism was always global in it’s ambition.

Accompanied a family member yesterday to a pretty amazing doctor’s clinic, actually open on a Sunday. Everything was as it should be with the place and the personnel. Great. However, got an sms today asking for ‘feedback’. Why. Surely people can, upon reflection, make their own judgement about themselves.

If you started a blog sancho, how would you attract……what am I saying, you’d never get off your arse to do anything.

I wholeheartedly supported NFA’s initiative to get that blog up and running as Sinclair closed down his.
Most commenters here rushed over there and became members just incase so as not to lose contact with each other, as was NFA’s desire.
You might do well to put your own performance forward when the chips are down sancho, for us to examine.
What in Chrit’s name have you done for anyone on any of these blogs.
All you’ve done is get off your fat lazy arse to go down and get jabbed….to comply.
To submit.
And then come here and criticise the people who do positive things.
You really are a piece of shit.

Some people may have noticed over the years that I am not a follower and I live by my convictions.
NFA was doing good things and many here took advantage of his efforts at the time.
And judging by the visits they still come to see what is said,…..in their hundreds per day.

The world is full of people who don’t feel as easy as I do to stand out in the crowd and I’m sure your piss and wind sneering here sees many just read and not comment over there.
But it is true free speech, no matter who it is.
Yes, Bird does comment from time to time there, AS HE DOES HERE, you dribbling space cadet…
and he can say what he likes as long as it isn’t going to get the blog shut down.
Anyone can.

Funny as for all the wrong reasons. Recently, the big-noting imbecile told us he was managing all of four blogsites. Imagine.

On a serious note, if you want to use less gin in a negroni, what would you compensate with? Be useful for a change.

We went to a new Italian joint last week where a plate of freaking pasta was 45 bucks. However, I’ve never tasted a more perfect Negroni as the one they made. Just perfect.

I’ve read a Muchamore, not bad.

I haven’t read them, rosie. But the little fellow has become addicted to reading … a bit like his mother’s generation with Harry Potter. As she says, anything to get him reading and forming an imaginative life. No doubt he’ll progress in time.

Perhaps to Le Carré if he’s into spies! 🙂

Johanna.

History rhyming…

1984. HIV/AIDS: The closure of San Francisco’s bathhouses. Part One.

On 9th October 1984, San Francisco’s Director of Public Health, Mervyn Silverman, ordered the closure of fourteen bathhouses in the city. Within six hours of him issuing the order two had already re-opened. A further ten had re-opened within 24 hours.

Clearly the defiance of the closure orders highlights just what a contentious issue it was.
….
Mayor Feinstein. She sent two plainclothes police officers into bathhouses to investigate and write a report of their findings. Despite the fact that the report was never released, much was made of how shocked the investigators were by what they saw.


When Silverman had stated, “Make no mistake about it; these fourteen businesses are not fostering gay liberation. They are fostering disease and death”, the president of the Golden Gate Business Association had responded, “Rather than fostering health, Silverman’s remarks were fostering bigotry and hate.”

So much the bloody same, monkeypox is a prime candidate for control and eradication, but any form of education/restriction will be called homophobia.
Despite a distinct lack of lesbians getting the thing.

“The finding of AIDS in infants and children who are household contacts of patients with AIDS or persons with risks for AIDS has enormous implications with regard to ultimate transmissibility of this syndrome,” Fauci says. “If routine close contact can spread the disease, AIDS takes on an entirely new dimension,” he adds.”

All manner of enterprises and people within them – education, business, trades, health , recreation, etc – seem to depend on extrinsic estimations of worth, to depend on what comes from the mouths of others rather than on insight that comes from self reflection. Which to trust.

If they are interested in sailing, try the Arthur Ransome books.

“Love openly”? Are we now getting to the heart of the matter? Are they teachers or predators?

It’s a bloody fine line now. And the fact the parents aren’t allowed a voucher system to have control over where their children are taught is a good indicator of the governments priorities.
We have less control or input into our personal lives than at any time over the last 120 years.

My wife has a freind that works part time for the NDIS. Takes her clients (elderly lady and a blind woman) shopping helps out at home ect. We’ve had dinner with the both cheeky and full of life.
Honourable work.

My problem with it is it allows family members to abdicate duty of care onto others.

Otoh, I’ve seen an NDIS worker, their client and several family members strolling through the shopping centre. Your tax dollars hard at work. I’ve also seen an NDIS worker doing double time as an Uber Eats delvery person, client in tow.

You, however, having yuuuugely bigly failed as a local pollie seem to think four wordwalls a day, plus ancillary public sooking is the next best thing.

My problem with it is it allows family members to abdicate duty of care onto others.

On the other hand, sometimes the “patient” doesn’t want the family member doing certain things for them. You have no idea the battle I’ve had just to do the vacuuming and bathrooms.

We’ve booked a glacially slow ACAT, and will try it for “housekeeping” stuff. I have no doubt that it will be a failure, like most government services, and it will all fall back on me. Good.

For those poor old ones with no family, it has to be better than nothing.

Greatly appreciated. Said scoffing is directed at the message, and sometimes the messenger if that messenger spends all day abusing people and then wondering why he can’t entice them to appreciate his worldview. People scoffed at Jim Jones too, you know.

The scoffing (and sneering) [again, ta] is not designed to make people do anything. I’m not calling people to arms, and to rise up in an unspecified manner against something you can’t put your finger on.
