I don’t understand your need to speak to me. You’re aware how lowly I think of you and I’ll never forgive what a cowardly swine you are threatening Sinclair with legal action because I was mean to you. It’s never going to change, dickhead. I don’t want to converse with such a coward. You’re pathetic.
Tell the folks here how you made threats against Sinclair and explain to them why you would want to talk with me. Go on, you pathetic neurotic imbecile.
The Queen is dead. Apparently. Quitter.

Were at a weird point of history where at one point of life women are struggling to concieve – (my wife was 40 at our first kid, we’d looked at adoption but basically unless you have a certificate of medical infertility and can apply a decade before you’re turning 37 and are deemed to old- hugh jackman’s missus pointed out there’s only half a dozen adoptions in Oz annually)
And at the other end of life, there’s constant importation of workers for old folks homes

Hot water systems are not my favourite topic today. We have two of the bastards — top of the range 135L Rheem gas storage.
One of them shit itself so had a new one installed today. No invoice yet, but expecting well north of $2K. And the second one is the same age …
And to top it off, went into the garage yesterday and strong smell of petrol. It’s from the motorbike. I know what its — coming from the RHS it’s from the ridiculous plastic quick connectors BMW use in the fuel lines. They ALL eventually crack and leak. Throw in an annual service while it’s in the shop for repair and that’s another $1K down the gurgler.
The obvious solution in a logical world is “abduction”. Much cheaper. You only need a windowless van. Cost you a couple of hundred bucks for the day.
Etiquette is important. Pick on a family with more than 8 kids. They probably won’t miss one (possibly 2).

Today, in a deliberate abuse of senate privilege, Thorpe shouted at Senator Antic across the chamber and called him a “racist”. It took many requests before she retracted. I’m sorry, she’s unhinged and an embarrassment to parliament, she should be forced out. I’m tired of the left constantly dog-whistling smears such as racist, Nazi and far-right at their ideological opponents. It’s despicable. The parliament is becoming a joke.
But actually, these freaks are there because mindless morons vote for them, usually mindless well off morons in the more affluent electorates of this country. It’s these voters who are the joke.
Yes, but in Thorpe’s situation she was never voted in as I understand it. Just given the Senate seat on a plate. What a crazy place the Senate is.
Well, I’ve seen the spot. A tiny side street just off the main drag. They even have Princip’s foot position in bronze on the footpath.

Educated but mostly oblivious. JC happened to point out inadvertently above that few actually realise. Reality.
Speaking of hospitals – good luck JC! – Five Days at Memorial is worth watching. Apple channel.
Covers the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Looks to be joining up over several episodes the nexus between the ethical and the legal situation as the hospital lost its power; had no evacuation plan, and tried to cope. What to do with patients who need ICU and therefore electricity and so on.
Have deliberately not looked up the reality of the situation but suspect the characters are amalgamations of some types – “we have to take in anyone who walks through the door” and so on, and accurate of others.
All this travel blogging reminds me of one the greatest Sopranos moments.

Many will disagree, but so be it.

The best thing Charles could do is to pass the reign over to William, he is in his father’s mold but young enough to change.
I realise the chain of succession laid down in the 1700 hundreds but there are precedents, and there are always new ways.
JC. Best wishes. Spent 10hrs in Frankston emerg once years back in a c spline till I was cleared of spinal injury, yes agree the most depressing place on earth…
Vsle QEII, I see News.com wasting no time annointing Charles before coronation.
2 leaders I have enjoyed reading their histories and seemed to have a genuine interest in their subjects/countries who were also some of the longest reinging. QEII and King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Both ascended the throne after WWII and both had to deal with the turbulent cold war years. Last of the old guard has changed.
The response to the death of the monarch is the traditional one.
The job is bigger than the one who occupies it and is assigned by the Almighty. Regardless of likes and dislikes.
The Queen understood this. I hope the King does too.

The official announcement:
Notice of death of Queen Elizabeth II, Holyroodhouse (BBC)
The BBC is referring to the new king as Charles III, which suggests he’s not taking a different name as king. That was something Cats were speculating about.
Terribly sad news. Thank our Lord that Her Majesty reigned long and happily.
Calli mentioned vultures above. How long before that bandana’d clown start opining? Not long. The republicans made a lot of fuss about not pushing too hard until the Queen died.
In response I tell people that while I wish the republican leaders good health and long lives; that I will not consider supporting a republic until Malcolm Turnbull and Peter FitzSimons pass away.
Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth the second.
Charles choice and right to be King but I don’t hold him in high regard. Neither does my elderly mother. Would be better passed on to William IMHO.
My mail is he wasn’t the only one to pull that stunt.
I believe at least two others tried to grift Sinc and other Cats for ‘pain and suffering’.
Fortunately Dover has managed to keep them at bay here. Haven’t seen either of them since very early on.
The Queen was nice, I liked her, RIP.
We may never know what secrets Anthony Blunt died with. Why did Thatcher strip his knighthood?

Yeah dude, sure.
England and Scotland had bad Kings and survived. For a long time!
I wouldn’t worry about Charles III.
Half of the Charleses were competent Kings so far.
As a rule I oppose anything the Nazis did.
There’s no real high ground here. It was a consensus of sorts not to bring it up until she passed.
I am truly saddened to read that HRM QE II has died. She has been an exemplary monarch and a world leader worthy of the name. RIP, Ma’am.
Charles has no ethics or righteous instincts and I’m afraid he will just add to our present chaos.
I have no doubt Albo will be pushing that barrow. It’s not much of a step from the voice after all.
Her Majesty has well and truly earned her rest.
I think the Queen may have lost the will to live since Prince Philip died. Some losses are unbearable.

Very, very upset about the passing of the Queen.
“She was one worthy of the position and gave splendid service all her life.”
Quite so. A splendid woman. The antithesis of shallow, selfish, superficial, lightweight, frivolous and facile.
The last of a generation, the don’t make men and women like her anymore. They’re gone.
I wish her family a long life.
She is now with Hashem, the angels and her loving husband. Her soul will live for ever.
“I think the Queen may have lost the will to live since Prince Philip died. Some losses are unbearable.”
Yes but I also think that the behaviour of the ginger and the whinger probably took its toll on her towards the end.
Not a fan of Charles, I like Camilla and I like William and Kate. Charles needs to keep his mouth shut.

So far there have been no statements by anyone that Charles will be an adequate monarch let alone a good one. Everyone knows he’s not up to the job.
I read some time ago that the mobility issues were the result of a fall. Damage from falls at that advanced age seems to accelerate the decline.
But the 4 years of relentless shit pushed out by the two Sussex dregs would have added unnecessary stress and taken away the joy of being with her family in the last years of her life.
The pair of them knocked back an invite to Balmoral just this week. Duchess Skanti’moan’ious will be busy figuring out the multiple ways she can monetise this starting with demanding the HRHs for her children.
I’m sad. I was a kindergarten child on the grass around the edge of the MCG when she visited Melbourne. Had no real idea of what a Queen actually was but still have a clear memory of her standing snd waving as she and Phil were driven past us and wondering where she had put her crown.
Sad day. But didn’t she do well. Rest in peace, your Majesty.
Cringe is probably throwing a huge tanty, now that she’s been relegated
to the curio pages, alongside the turnips that look like Churchill.
After what Charlie did to Diana, not many other the WEF supporters like him.
Me-gain has probably already gone through the Queens jewelry.
The Poms haven’t had a ‘the Great’ monarch since Alfred 1200 years ago.
Might be time to revisit that for Liz. She’s certainly met the benchmark.
Can’t believe the rest of the band all died at the same time.
True. My mother died less than two months after falling and breaking her hip. She went downhill even though the hip replacement operation was a success, she just never got back on her feet. At least she was not in pain after the operation.
We have had a metal King of the living dead.
Edward the Great, of the House of Iron Maiden.
Great choice of banner Dover.
My stepfather, who is 90 years old, fell in the bathroom in April. He dislocated his hip socket. Ambulance called, he spent three months in three various hospitals. Because of his age, they didn’t operate, the operation is about ten hours long. It was my mother’s will who got him walking, the last hospital was a rehab hospital…one of the best in Sydney. He’s now walking, with a frame.
Falls are very, very bad when you’re of an advanced age.
“But the 4 years of relentless shit pushed out by the two Sussex dregs would have added unnecessary stress and taken away the joy of being with her family in the last years of her life.”
I agree.
William II. ‘Hunting accident’.
Richard I. Shot by a teenager with a crossbow besieging a French castle
Richard II. Starved to death in a castle.
Edward V. Murdered in a castle.
Richard III. Killed in battle.
Henry V. Dysentery, on campaign.
Henry VI. Murdered in a castle.
Charles I. Executed outside a castle.
Elizabeth II. Thrown down the stairs in a castle.
Vale Elizabeth Windsor, the last of the best.
She’s left a world which will mark her passing with a fierce pledge of allegiance to race baiting, burning churches, epistocracy and Organic veganism.
Yep. Only need to look at “place names”. And why WW1/2 was a difficult decision for politicians.
Just look at American surnames. When US airmen bailed out of B-24’s and B-17’s over Germany in WW2 so wondered whether they had shot down the Lufwaffe.
Charles is another WEF/Greenloon/Globalist. It will not be pretty.
As a toddler, I stood by a rail crossing in country Victoria as QEII sped past in the Royal Train in 1954 just after her coronation. Even little kids in those days were in awe of the monarch, not long after our fathers fought for King and country.
Now watch as the monarchy without the Queen’s steady hand degenerates into a circus freak show of political misfits pushing passing political fads — the same loopy preoccupations of the republican radicals in Australia.

That’s a scam.

Doesn’t matter what Charles thinks, he’s a figurehead, he’ll continue to do the things he’s been doing on his mother’s behalf for the last many years, plus all the things only she could do.
He’ll probably still ramble about climate changy.
So what?

Anyone – Idea Why?
Gab no, I’m still waiting for the fucker to show up. This is the worst thing about hospitals -the wait.
You forgot Edward II.
Some say his fortress was penetrated.
Except that she (and her craven representatives at state and national level here) rubber stamped the extension of pandemic ’emergency powers’ month after month for 2 years.
“That’s a scam”
How dare you!
We have testimonials from thousands of royals attesting to the efficacy of the protocol, just see our website!
Sure, but it’s not his business, Rosie. The other thing is that no matter how stupid she was he treated Diana terribly. She was basically a kid. And then the sheer hypocrisy of the asshat lecturing us about gerbil warming and riding the private jet to the climate Haj. Charles, fuck off.
PROMO CODE: CHOPSAFE
Her last official pic, with incoming PM Liz Truss showed her bright eyed, but it looked like she had lost a lot of weight in a short time. I suspect she had cancer.
Reaped the whirlwind, apparently.
Respect to Her Madge that she clung on just long enough to get rid of Boris.
Have a look at her hands in that pic.
Without being overly morbid, the end couldn’t have been far away.
Wish you a smooth op and a speedy recovery, JC. xx
Maybe it isn’t but he has no real influence.
Truss is planning to allow fracking and more North Sea oil exploration, what can Charles do to stop her?
I agree re Diana, marrying someone you dont love for an heir was wrong, he should have married Camilla in the first place and ignored Mountbatten, just made several people very unhappy, including himself. .
Correct, when I was giving anaesthetics, we used to get an automatic ‘which of you patients died in the month after you gassed them’ report. Top of the list was ‘bone marrow biopsies’ (for cancer) and second was ‘fractured neck of femur’ cases.
Thanks Gab and others. It’s really no biggie and more annoying than anything else.
Hope they can knock the shit off your liver JC
aaaah just jokes mate, you’re alright eh
“He’ll probably still ramble about climate changy.
So what?”
Rosie, He can’t ramble on about climate change. He must now keep shtum, particularly over the coming winter when people will not be able to turn on their heaters. The love for the monarchy doesn’t come from inner-city London elite scum who obsess about “da climate”, it’s comes from ordinary working and middle class people, those same ordinary people who will struggle to pay their power bills. If Charles gets them offside, the monarchy is over….kaput.
yep, noted that too, the entire topside (dorsum) was a purple bruise.
More pain killers JC, fold over when you think the nurses are looking, not too dramatic or too often. Probably won’t make any difference but always worth a try.
People died from that? How?
If Charlie wanted to taunt his (justified) critics and absolutely own his new gig, he’d take the regnal name John.
John II.
‘I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker! Call me big ears one more goddamn time!’
I suspect she was a very, very old lady who’s time had come.
Old people not wanting to eat seems to part of the process of dying of old age, that and falls.
Eight days ago the Old Man* took a tumble. At 92, a plate and screws are off the table.

Speaking of immature trolls, I see one has just reappeared above. I think on this day he can just piss off.
In 1977 the Queen travelled to Australia for her jubilee. I was at a private girl’s school in Peppermint Grove and we all trudged down to Stirling Highway to wave at the Queen and Prince Phillip.
Hospitals operate on Bali time – your time is always the least valuable. Always have a good book on hand.
I agree Cassie, the UK needs to turn back on the fossil fuel tap or go into a deep recession.
And they might avoid probably killing a lot of frail aged this winter.
Let’s see if he acknowledges the suffering of ordinary people from high energy costs.
I really don’t know how blind to reality he is.
It meant they had a nasty underlying blood cancer usually
Because gay ‘marriage’ is false and requiring people to declare what is false is evil, while universities should be ordered to the dissemination and pursuit of truth and so long as de Santis applies that principle his or anyone else’s dictates are legitimate.
Want all the royal news, with none of the malicious gossip?
Watching the Tv covering the queen’s death, I noticed how much she had shrunk in that photo with Truss . She’s was barely up to her chest and Truss towered over her , but her smile was still there .
The Paddington Bear tea party was then shown, a delightful memory .
Don’t be stupid. You know that’s a rational argument but it isn’t a valid one.
It’s just politically correct speech you support. If you’re a public serpent you eat shit. What’s next, military officers refusing orders they disapprove of?
On the bright side, this is gunna stop the Government printing more money. Well, at least in the short term.
The passing of the Queen will reignite the debate over becoming a republic: How much was opposition to the change the result of loyalty to the Queen and how much to the Monarchy as an institution?
And they would probably want to push for the issue sooner rather than later as Charles may yet confound expectations and follow his mother’s example as monarch as a stabilising influence, rather than the more self-indulgent part he played as Prince of Wales.
The problem with Dover and de Santis’ position is even if 100% of people agree with you on the principles, you’re in a hell of a place of 99% of the population think you are wrong on issues.
On the other hand, everything with a crown on it,
will have to be redone with an outie, not an innie.
Good to see that bloke can finally afford to cut his hair and now appears to be showering once a week.
Truss’s energy speech
We are also accelerating all sources of domestic energy, including North Sea oil and gas production.
We will be launching a new licensing round, which we expect to lead to over 100 new licences being awarded.
And we will speed up our deployment of all clean and renewable technologies including hydrogen, solar, carbon capture and storage, and wind… where we are already the world leader in offshore generation.
Renewable and nuclear generators will move onto Contracts for Difference to end the situation where electricity prices are set by the marginal price of gas.
Show trial.
Seeing off 15 PMs is a seriously impressive feat. Amazing to think the Queen was a peer of Churchill.

Comment, from the Oz.
Somebody last night mentioned the Wayne Carey “powder” incident.
When I switched on the TV yesterday it was the first thing that came up. It mentioned Carey saying going for the casino for discrimination against disabled people because it was his medicine for a medical problem. Then it showed an assistant Commissioner Police saying they have no idea what the powder was. However they might interview Carey to ask him. No doubt expecting Carey to confess !
I just laughed and thought if I ever needed a lawyer I would get the one Carey is using.
Armadillo, it did occur to me that there may be a long wait for the formal coronation before Charles’ portrait is chosen to add to coins and notes.
Hey Dover as an act of respect can you turnoff Monty today?

How is a hypocrite? He’s a boozy dope, but I don’t get this.
Too many caps. (((Sovereign citizen)))?
It might have looked like she was hitting the bag hard but it was only surface punching. A lot of noise but ineffective. The focus has to be through the bag. The bag is only useful for tempering your body so you get used to the shock of hitting someone and as an endurance test only if you give it 100%. Never use gloves, hands need to be hardened. The progressive is about right. Looks like an ad for new ADF recruitment drive.
If you want a mean spirited laugh, watch Justin Trudeau boxing.

China’s ‘Lost Decade’ Is Even Worse Than You Think
Turns out, economists worried about a Japan-like “lost decade” in China were both wrong—and right.
By “wrong” we mean that Asia’s largest economy today might not suffer the painful deflationary funk the region’s previous top power did. Or, depending on your view, still is given the comatose state of wages and Japan Inc.’s waning international influence.
By “right” we mean the cost of President Xi Jinping’s disastrous battle with Covid-19 variants Beijing clearly doesn’t understand. It’s helping relegate China to a roughly 4.5% growth rate for this decade—and 3% in the next one. This estimate from Oxford Economics means China won’t be catching up with the U.S. anytime soon in terms of living standards.
In fact, Adam Slater at Oxford suggests that South Korea, Taiwan and other major Asian export economies can probably stop looking over their shoulders, too. The odds of Chinese blowing past developing Asia in per capita income terms anytime soon may be dropping, too.
Xi’s ongoing Covid lockdowns are but the most glaring headwind hitting mainland growth prospects. Even though Omicron and other highly transmissible variants are undeterred by shutting down massive municipalities, Chinese officials can’t seem to help themselves. In recent days, the central city of Chengdu, population 21 million, was added to the shutdown list.
With roughly 60 million people stuck at home wondering what gives, China’s 0.4% growth rate in the April-June period year-in-year starts to look overly optimistic. That operations in the southern Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen are in doubt puts global supply chains fanning inflation are greater risk.

I have never understood Xi’s Covid Lockdowns – They just have not made any sense

In Slater’s view, the 4.5% growth average over this decade may be the good times—things drop to about 3% annually between 2030 and 2040. Reasons why include worse-than-estimated demographic challenges as an aging China makes the nation’s debt trajectory more troubling.
It’s often said that the Chinese might get old before they get rich. Turns out, China also might grow old before it gets sufficiently productive and innovative.

Charles I was executed on a platform built outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall. It being a cold morning, he asked for an extra shirt to wear “lest I shiver and they think me afraid”.
That Paddington bear meme is demeaning. I doubt that any monarch in her right mind would have signed off on it as one of her last public appearances.
For me, her on horseback inspecting the troops when the van backfires- and no-one flinches apart from the one horse- sums up her time.
I have many memories of the 1954 royal visit by train to my country town. My parents were part of the official party so a lot of my memories are of the preparations, the working bees to make the crepe paper flowers for the arches across the streets the royal couple drove through, and the rehearsals for the welcoming ceremony. On the day I was in the mob of school kids in an area where we could see pretty well everything that went on. I remember thinking to myself that I was too cool to join in the carry on (pompous little brat) but found myself shouting and waving my flag and jostling for position with the best of them.
Almost exactly 25 years between the deaths of two of the most memorable UK royal women of our time.
And they might avoid probably killing a lot of frail aged this winter.
Not just in the UK but all over Europe. I’m expecting a lot of bodies will be discovered in spring.
It’s the plan.
Easily replaced by those south and east of the Mediterranean L.
It’s completely valid.
No, I support legitimate research and teaching, not obviously false ones. No one, incl. public servants, should be compelled to tell falsehoods. Half of our present problems are the consequences of our prejudice against public service. If the PS better reflected the political composition of broader society we might not be as far down the road as we now are. And, yes, at some stage military officers, and not only them, may have to disobey even though the orders may be ‘legal’; that was the lesson of Nuremberg.
m0nty-fa demonstrates his utter lack of knowledge of a Constitutional monarchy. HM had nothing to do with the end of BloJo, it was self-inflicted. All HM did was officially accept the resignation.

‘Time to be bold’ Liz Truss unveils two-year energy bills cap for all Brits
LIZ Truss threw a lifeline to families and businesses as she announced a two-year energy price freeze.
The Prime Minister said it was a time to be “bold” and there are “no cost-free options” as she set out an estimated £150 billion emergency package. Energy costs are being capped which means a typical household will pay around £2,500.
Wholesale costs will be limited to bring down bills for businesses and institutions such as schools, hospitals and churches for six months.
Ms Truss said failing to take action would harm the country and economy but she warned long-term supply issues must be tackled now as she announced the ban on fracking will be lifted.
She told the Commons: “This is the moment to be bold. We are facing a global energy crisis and there are no cost-free options.”
A total cost for the package will not be announced by the government until Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng gives his first budget later this month.
But the measures are expected to reduce inflation by five per cent, in turn bringing down the cost of servicing the national debt.
The price cap controlling energy bills had been expected to go up from £1,971 to £3,549 next month for a typical family and soar next year to as much as £6,000.

The passing of the Queen will reignite the debate over becoming a republic: How much was opposition to the change the result of loyalty to the Queen and how much to the Monarchy as an institution?
Ironic that impetus may be given to the republic push by the accession of a monarch who’s actually lived in Australia for a time.

Australia’s drug regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), now calls for feedback on whether the agency should allow the use of repurposed, off-label ivermectin as an antiviral regimen against SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. TrialSite reported last September that TGA took their gloves off with physicians prescribing the drug off-label, formally placing a national prohibition on off-label prescribing of the drug to all general practitioners (GPs). This was a comparable move for what TGA did with hydroxychloroquine in 2020. The agency limited ivermectin access for COVID-19 to specialists. This media reported that this action didn’t occur in a vacuum, rather it involved the citing of lack of evidence, but in fact, comparable actions were occurring in multiple developed economies. Was this a carefully coordinated and orchestrated government action to stop all treatments other than those the government deemed acceptable? This media pondered: was the underlying mission to stop any activity that interrupted the mass vaccination program?

More important news. From the Laydee Pages.
Ex-porn star Lana Rhoades desperate for another child but ‘doesn’t want to talk to men’
Ok Ill bit with an old joke…
Lana is in hospital about to give birth, she motions the doc over and whispers to him “Doc i was a little naughty around the time of conception and am unsure of who the father might be, can you tell me the babies colour as he comes out so I can narrow it down”?
The doc is a little taken aback but agrees.
The baby crowns and the cap of the head looks a little yellow/olive, so he tells her.
“Oh that would have been Huong Long from the “enter, with drag on movie”.. she murmers.
Then the shoulders and chest appears, black, the doc is amazed but tells her
“”That would be the “Brothers in another mother” movie”, bugger, theres about 4 blokes it could be there…
the lower part of the torso comes out and it has a distinct copper tinge, the doc reports to her..
” Oh no, not Enormous Chief jackhammering Bull from “Custers last stand at the Alamo”..
Finally the legs drop out and they are white, the doc is resigned to it by now and tells her.
“Johnny Bongsmoke from “built like a greyhound, all prick and ribs”..
The doc hold up the bub and smacks its bum and it begins to cry.
“Oh thank you Jesus”, cries lana in a heartfelt voice
The doc reconsiders his hardened attitude, maybe even the heart of a turbo-whore can be turned by the miracle of new life….
Until Lana continues ‘for a moment then I though the little bastard was going to bark”…

The Queen was not a “peer of Churchill”, she was a young teen when Churchill became PM in 1940. She was not even born when he became a Minister of the Crown before WW I.
