Calli, I repeat for emphasis, do have a good trip and recall that this is just a blog, as Hairy tells me often when he sees me wearing what he calls ‘that face’ again.
It is very hard to be accurate about others or for them to be accurate about you in such fleeting encounters; that comes with the territory. Take the goodwill for you here with you and enjoy it.

Dogs, I think the Index is crap in the same way I think an IQ test is crap. However, both have their uses. IQ testing can measure extreme stupidity but not high level intelligence. Similarly, I see the Happiness Index being reasonable in measuring extreme unhappiness and that’s about it.
Take heed, Timothy.

Lol. Areff I used to see the Roller parked outside a cigar bar between either 5th&Madison or Madison&Park. I can’t recall the name, but it was a famous cigar joint in the 90s but not sure if it’s still there.
Stuphid’s been unhappy going on for two years no. He kept down to 11th place too.
Didn’t someone say here the other day that Iron Mike is in poor health and blames the vax?
He could be right.

Timothy has been spot on in his recent posts as Bucket wails, gnashes teeth and pulls at her diamonds. We have had to endure this crap over and over and over again. For the 6 thousandth time, Elizabeth – either become an adult on this forum or do the dramatic flounce yet again hoping for a rerun the ‘please don’t leave Lizzie – we love you’ comments. But we know you will only return, waiting for the opportunity to restart the bullshit and play the victim ad nauseam.
God almighty – JUST STOP.
A word deliberately chosen, Timothy. I knew it would draw fire, but it is true. For my sins I once headed a university department teaching rhetoric and logic and other skills of comprehension. I was a publisher’s referee for Keith Windschuttle’s excellent book on communication for journalists, and set it for my students. (He didn’t know about that until we met after my Quadrant publications began a few years ago. We were both quite amused.)
Which doesn’t mean to say I can’t make mistakes such as I may have made re Calli’s comment. But it also allows me to pick up sub-texts, such as the ‘accent’ allusion in those comments, more than some others might. Calli may not have consciously made this allusion, of course.
All a storm in a teacup now of course. Which is why I want her to enjoy her travels and write on them.
If one must buy a Rolls, painting it pink is perfectly acceptable although one really have these things done before you take delivery. Iron Mike is an aspiring rapper made good.

I’m especially looking forward to reading your accounts of the farmers’ protests.
The pile-on against Lizzie has not been this site’s high point.
More than a couple have revealed themselves to be not as polite as they believe themselves to be.
Vicki, one of the things about those famines that I think is shocking is how deliberate a lot of it was. Authorities knew but sacrificed their own people. That’s where we are.
Calli, I enjoyed enormously your descriptions of the recent travels through the middle of Australia. Brought back very fond memories of us travelling in the early 80s with two preschoolers in a Datsun 120Y. No air conditioning and the only way we kept the kids cool was to give them wet face washers.
I’ve finally taken the plunge into the sewer that is twitter. So far, I have just tweeted to a few Labor (and one Green) politicians and their cronies. My schtick is to agree with them but to use sarcasm e.g. “Yes, because socialism has never hurt or disadvantaged anyone.”
While I’ve had a couple of people block me, you may not be surprised at how much of this goes over the idiot’s heads. Christine Milne even retweeted me! I may need to fine-tune a tad.

Thank you for that exegesis which clearly refutes my suggestion that you are an inveterate self- promoter.
Incidentally, in your academic work on logic, did you ever consider the proposition that “”self-aggrandising” and “true” are not mutually exclusive”?
No, Frankie – I meant the manure hurlers’ best chance of hitting a target is if the latter is immobile (e.g. pining for the fjords) …
Going to higher ground with respect to the Paki flooding would be heading to the top of Everest.

I have had friends recently return from 6 weeks in the Czech Republic and other countries nearby — they said NO-ONE is wearing masks and the matter of COVID is not discussed ANYWHERE. In a number of countries in Europe it is now forbidden to give a child under the age of 18 the COVID vaccine — Health Hazzard is a blight on humanity.
You are correct in my case, CMD. I struggle to be polite, and I confess to penning comments that I then delete when I read them. Often.
We say things in the heat of the moment and then think “words come back to me”, but they don’t. The perils of the interwebs. None of us knows the ins and outs of other people’s lives, only what they choose to reveal to us.

You can’t rely on the news being truthful. I heard over the radio this water dump is 8 times more than regular.

Thanks, Roger.
The SBS program suggested that Churchill shipped supplies from Bengal to Holland to relieve dire food situation there.
There is a huge bitterness that has survived in India over such issues as I’m sure you know. Salman Rushdie is one who keeps the fire burning.

Sounds AWFL.
“Bengal and the famine”
Until recent times, devastating famines were not uncommon across the globe, and India has a history of many deadly famines, the Bengal famine of 1943 being just one. The region of Bengal has endured many shocking famines, the famine of 1770 most likely killed over ten million people and the British most certainly weren’t responsible. Bengal at the time was governed by the Mughuls, the cause of the famine was crop failure.
Highly recommended. Roberts has just released a work on Lord Northcliffe, “Britain’s greatest Press Baron.” It’s on my “To Read” pile.

Churchill was despised because of his role in the Dardanelles campaign. His parliamentary colleagues held it against it against him up until and throughout WW2.
Funny thing is, when asked after the war about “the whole policy of the attack on the Peninsula and the Dardanelles”, General Mustafa Kemal Ataturk responded:

It was a great idea. It would probably have prevented Russia’s collapse and Revolution, and with the eastern front still in play the Germans would have had little chance of launching offensives in 1918.
Tonight at 8.30 on SBS we have Mr Jones.
Gareth Jones was the brilliant 27 y o journalist who had been Lloyd George’s secretary, who first realised that Stalin was starving the Ukrainians in 1932, the Terror Famine, or Holodomor.
He and Malcolm Muggeridge were the first to break the story of mass starvation. Other Western journalists in Moscow at the time met together with the Russian censor and began a deliberate campaign of denial and dismissal of the Jones story.

Other Western journalists in Moscow at the time met together with the Russian censor and began a deliberate campaign of denial and dismissal of the Jones story.
The NYT has never apologised.
Malice goes on about it a bit.
I thought Muggeridge was meant to be one of Stalin’s useful idiots, or did he take a while before seeing through it.
Started reading a biography of Pauline Hanson by Anna Broinowski who is, apparently, an SBS luvvie but knocked out a 2016 SBS TV special .. Pauline Hanson: Please Explain (which I’ve neither heard of or seen) and so scored the writing gig .. to give an idea of where her “sympathy’” lies get a load of this from chapter 1 ..
In 1954, the year Hanson was born, a young Queen Elizabeth, during her wildly popular first Commonwealth tour, met with Prime Minister Menzies in Canberra to sign the Aboriginal Welfare Ordinance. The new law authorised the full-scale removal of the Indigenous people of the Australian Capital Territory to New South Wales. despite the United Nations’ 1948 convention on the crime of genocide being ratified in the Australian constitution in 1951, the systematic persecution of Australia’s First People continued throughout the decade.
No idea about the Welfare Ordinance bill but can’t work out how it ties in with either the UN genocide or the “systematic” persecution theory …. might be a long, read to the finish coming up .. LOL!
It’s nuts to do any form of student loan “forgiveness” with out some form of concession from colleges.

They could just buy the stuff off the futures market, no? Not their government – Chinese firms.
Yes they could secure some grain that way but it wouldn’t cover the need for multi million tonne contracts.
The grain trading businesses are well aware of the oblique operations of Chinese importers. Any move in the market by Chinese entities will soon set of a futures rally and kick current cash pricing to new highs.
Fun times I think.
Frank, Muggeridge and wife quickly realised the reality after idealistically relocating to Moscow in 1932. After reporting the horrible reality he lost everything, including friendships.
His autobiography is a great read.
“The NYT has never apologised.
Malice goes on about it a bit.”
Walter Duranty, the NYT correspondence in Moscow during the famine, won a Pulitzer for his soft reporting of the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. The Pulitzer has never been revoked.
Thanks Jorge.
Calli- really enjoyed your impressions of travelling around this wonderful country. You’ve inspired me to revisit Coober Pedy. Therefore, would love to read about your Euro adventures. Rosie’s travelogues were great too.
In 1954, the year Hanson was born, a young Queen Elizabeth, during her wildly popular first Commonwealth tour, met with Prime Minister Menzies in Canberra to sign the Aboriginal Welfare Ordinance. The new law authorised the full-scale removal of the Indigenous people of the Australian Capital Territory to New South Wales.
This looks like it might be a product of the customary rigour and accuracy that we’ve come to expect from taxpayer-funded “journalists”. Certainly the official printed copy of the law as made doesn’t support what’s asserted.
The law wasn’t “signed” by the Queen. The official printed copies say “ELIZABETH R by WS Kent Hughes Minister for the Interior”, i.e. it was signed by Kent Hughes in the name of the Queen, which may be where the confusion arose.
More importantly the law didn’t authorise the full-scale removal of Aborigines. It authorised the Minister to apply to the Court for an order that an individual Aborigine be sent to a reserve or back to their home State, but an application could be made only for specified reasons of welfare or safety.

It isn’t just students who are one of the DemonRats key support groups . It is also the university academics and administrators. The idea is to consolidate that political support, not annoy the wackademics and administrators, who do the propaganda work on the students, and who might well have a stake in the endowments., via their pension schemes.

One year ago energy cost the German economy 1% of GDP. Today, it’s 8%. I think Europe is fucked and less so the US.
Germany had only its own masturbatory green fantasies to blame for it’s predicament.
Sure, Rosie. But that’s the reality and it’s going to be just as terrible for the rest too. This is very, very, “ungood”.
We know how it worked out last time.
I don’t think people fully grasp the leverage energy has to economic performance.
How cheap energy can turbo-charge everything and even a slight lift can really grind things to a halt.
1% to 8% is off the charts.
But some of these fuckers would rather go into deep recession than denounce Gaia-power.

Some Germans are trying to be ready. From Geek in Pictures. (May be a rerun for the Çat.)
I know there’s been commentary over the journey about pony-tailed, trash ‘tache-having political advisors being clueless dunderheads, but this is next level. You can picture it:
‘They all look the same don’t they? Black people like basketball and rap music – it’s a walk-up start.’
Yep. Crazy that tuition fees have increased 13-fold in the last 50 years. Where is that money going? It can’t all be into administrative bloat. Some group is making a killing here of students and the government.

Others, particularly Kitchener, were just as much to blame, but Churchill, with his “young man in a hurry” image, and the belief that It wasn’t fair to libel a dead man, after Kitchener drowned, meant Churchill wore most of the odium.
Reservation Dogs.

Mr Marles said strengthening diversity in the ADF was key to expanding its war-fighting capabilities.
These people are completely insane.

I wonder what the search frequency looks like for “home made Kar 98k”
The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time
Hopefully we can’t see the lamps this time because there’s so many politicians hanging from them.
oh dear.
KD tries to lie again and claim I spoke of gas pipes.
Totally his invention and by the lack of upticks on his bullshit comments I see others know as well.
The question must be whether or not he has lied so much he now believes them himself or he continues to attempt to put his words in other people’s mouths because he has no argument.
As things get serious and the jabbed die,…the little gang of the fearful sneerers are flailing and wailing.
It isn’t pretty.
Those chickens are coming home …….
You poor deluded fucks.
Where’s choo choo?
The overall death rate rising a thousand a week in the UK and up 10 000 here over the last few months due to the jab……up 200% in the younger working age group….l believe that although our submissive union mate did no work, he was of working age so concern for his welbeing would only be natural.
C’mon little gang of vacuous sneerers. …email him and get him in here.

Trying to catch up — Yesterday I saw comments from miltonf about Chappaquidick and Edward Kennedy, and the filthy old grifter from Delware this comment resonates in relation to both Delaware and Massachusetts _ To think that deadshits in Delaware have actually voted for this piece of human garbage for decades.
I commented about rellies returning from some time in the US they’d been to Chappaquidick had photos on the bridge — BIL and SIL are both so anti-Trump because they mix with wealthy American and only places they went and the only people they saw were lefties – like the guy with the banner outside Trump Tower talking about all the the crimes committed by President Trump BIL maintained Trump was a criminal but could come up with no crime with which Trump is convicted — I said as much and also reminded him of all the slaver states being Demonrat,
Also got in that from 1870 until 1935 all black congressmen had been Republicans and the first Demonrat wasn’t elected until 1935 and that Demonrat had been a Republican until 1932 when he switched because he was ambitious and didn’t want to do his time with the Republican party (a la Whitlam I guess)
I also commented that it was a clear indication of what Demonrats really are since they continued to elect Ted Kennedy for another 40 years after he left Mary Jo Kopechne to die — I couldn’t believe they tried to defend that piece of garbage by saying oh the bridge was different, it dipped and had no side — I said no excuses – and they agreed.
We also agreed to disagree about Trump. We had a nice lunch and they’re going to be grandparents again, which is so wonderful.
The New York Times (a former newspaper – Andrew Klavan’s description from time to time) was the subject of Ashley Ridsberg’s book The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times’s Misreporting, Distortions and Fabrications Radically Alter History published in May last year – I bought it for my lefty BIL – he’s never mentioned it, funny that.
