  1. And try this one

    Mr Rotten – That lyric vid is pretty much the best I’ve ever seen. Amazing what you can do with just the words. I don’t know who did it, seems it might’ve been Abkco, who is an independent label. The track is another Stones anthem of course.

    Btw your track about Liz is another anthem, as Rabz played earlier. Here’s a PiL version with some very fine graphics.

    Nice that John Lydon has turned out to be one of the finest righty fighters we have.

    UN Human Rights Committee finds Australia violated Torres Strait Islanders’ rights by failing to protect them from climate change

    Let them seek refuge from the rising seas in Martha’s Vineyard.

    Even dumb animals have the good sense to move to higher ground if they are in trouble. So please tell me how much has the sea and Ocean risen around the Torres Strait Islands in the last 200 years. Scientific evidence only please and not any made up BS.

    How I feel about existing in the West (such as it is) …

    How I feel …

    Dead Souls

    Not much Joy in that IMHO……………..

    Try this for a Larf’

    The title may be from the Russian novelist Gogol’s unfinished novel Dead Souls which was in part about the decadence of the Russia aristocracy nobility and how serfs burial sites were counted as living serfs to increase their tax share. Curtis had a tendency to reference literature: Atrocity Exhibition(Ballard), Colony(Kafka), and there are hints of T. S. Eliot references. Atmosphere has the phrase “walking on Air”, which might be a reference to a statement by Wittgenstein about how people live the religious life.

    Thanks Bruce and I have never seen anything like that before.

    Mr Lydon is a very smart person and he is on the right side of freedom and free speech. We need more people like him. I just pinched his name for a few website blogs. Hope I’m not getting into trouble for that…………….lol

    On Rolfe’s comments, lucky no-one knows of certain T-shirts worn in relax mode by members of the ADF on deployment in the Middle East. “Nuke it all from orbit” was the politest.

    Tsk tsk tsk, telling tales out of school there, TE.
    You know the rule.
    What happens on tour, stays on tour until the person who has the most to keep on tour pisses off the people helping him to keep it on tour and then it doesn’t stay on tour any more.
    It’s a bit of a mouthful, so people just call it the BRS rule.

    BB that one reminds me so much of Les Murray.
    He didn’t do AFL but he got a song written for him.
    I backed Norf before Souf moved Norf, then I had to back Souf.
    Which lasted until Mr Goodes got his black armband on.
    Now I don’t back any of them. Sad Les is no longer with us.

    I’ve a cassette of “Jukebox Dury” sitting in front of me with that track on it, which says (C) Stiff Records 1981. A lot of clever bastards frequent the Cat. Vale Mr Dury.

    I saw Ian Dury and the Blockheads at the old Capitol Theatre in Sydney in 1982 and it was Brillo. The Blockheads all introduced themselves at the start whereupon Ian charged out from left field onto the middle of the Stage and said. ‘And Guess What? My name’s Ian………………And then it all kicked off for nearly 3 hours…………….Magic.

    Tim , that’s some of the most laughable nonsense I’ve read from you in a while. The email would be like lots of business dealings – they’re unsolicited. I have to look back, but I’m reasonably sure the introduction came through this blog owner as I requested he ask if you would be kind enough to exchange emails – not that it matters. I was investigating service on a tax related matter. You’ve publicly state you’re a tax attorney and thought there could be a match. I appear to have dodged a bullet.

    If you think anyone would believe that heap of bullshit, JC, you’re stupider than you claim to be.

  20. Booker Prize-winning Wolf Half writer Dame Hilary Mantel dies aged 70

    Dame Hilary Mantel, the two-time Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, has died aged 70.

    Dame Hilary’s death was announced Friday by her literary agents AM Heath and publisher Harper Collins. She “died suddenly yet peacefully yesterday, surrounded by close family and friends”, they said.

    Best known for her acclaimed historical trilogy about the life of Thomas Cromwell, 16th century English powerbroker, Dame Hilary won the Booker Prize twice – for Wolf Hall and for its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies.

    The conclusion of the trilogy, The Mirror and The Light, was published in 2020 to huge critical acclaim. Longlisted for the Booker Prize, the final novel also won the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, which she first won for Wolf Hall.

    Dame Hilary was “one of the greatest English novelists of this century”, HarperCollins said.

    “Her beloved works are considered modern classics. She will be greatly missed.”

    The Wolf Hall trilogy has been translated into 41 languages, with sales of over five million worldwide. Both Wolf Hall and its sequel were adapted for film and television.

    “She will be remembered for her enormous generosity budding writers, her capacity to electrify a live audience, and the huge array of her journalism and criticism, producing some of the finest commentary on issues and books,” her agent Bill Hamilton said.

    “There was always a slight aura of otherworldliness about her, as she saw and felt things us ordinary mortals missed, but when she perceived the need for confrontation she would fearlessly go into battle.”

    I gave up less than halfway through Wolf Hall because it was boring me rigid. Written by and for the totally bookish.

    Cohenite, did I hear you this arvo on the radio talking about the Australia Act and changing the Governor General’s title to president?

    Yes you did. I find it amazing that so many people have not heard of The Australia Act which removed ALL legal and political connections with the UK which means we are in all but name a republic. There is therefore no need for any change. If you rebranded the GG a president that would do.

  23. I saw Ian Dury and the Blockheads at the old Capitol Theatre in Sydney in 1982

    Seriously seriously cool. I think I’ve been there twice: once for Cats, which was damn fine, and once where I saw Jon English hung by the neck. Which he suffered several hundred times. 😀

    Do we actually need a GG and state governors?
    Would it not be possible to have any real powers held by the GG exercised by the High Court, sitting as a Constitutional Court on the rare occasions it is required.
    Swearing in of ministers could be done by the Chief Justice.
    All the assorted ribbon cutting and lamington drive stuff could be assigned to junior ministers.

  27. Eels win! That put a smile on the beloved’s face.

    He turned 70 yesterday – I’m now married to a septuagenarian! A very youthful one.

    Leaving Zagreb today for LHR, but not before visiting the town square for one last time. Sadly it was packed with activists of the vegan/extinction rebellion/greenpeace genre. Soyboys and earnest, unhappy looking girls. The stalls were interesting – all advertising and selling products that looked like meat but weren’t. Why do they do that? If vegetables are so wonderful and healthy, why disguise them as something else? It smacks of deception.

    Tonight the ER loons will have a demmo there, poncing and cosplaying in their red draperies and white lead faces. And we will be gone.

    GG/presidents, appointed by the PM/Premiers (or by a joint sitting of both houses where there are 2 houses, or popularly elected, the most dangerous alternative) add an extra check and balance. Under the constitution the current GG has some definite powers and reserve powers. If you get rid of the GG and involve the court the separation of powers gets diluted.

    The pro republicans are motivated by revenge for what happened to comrade whitlam or in the case of the likes of pirate pete, turdball etc, ego.

  48. It seems to be increasingly obvious in US politics that there is in fact a “deep state” hidden in the shadows.

    Biden and Fetterwoman are extreme examples, but there are plenty more. “The Squad” and the rest of them.

    These people are merely “sprukiers”. They are the dudes standing out the front of the strip club enticing people in. Or in the bookmaking industry, the bagman calling out “best odds” and “about to jump”.

    They aren’t running the business, they are the employees.

  49. Wake up call. You can’t run a “business” without a bait. And politics is the biggest business there is. It’s massive when you can control the entire market, not just someone who wants to buy your particular product. Taxation is compulsory.

    As a bookmaker at “Royal Randwick” I’d show up in a suit and tie. In Bourke, I’d show up in a pair of shorts.

    It’s one of the main reasons the Democrats are in power in the US. They understand Hollywood, and Hollywood is bankrolling them.

  68. Gorton I believe was born in Melbourne but he did serve Kerang as shire president after World War 2.

    Gorton was running the family property when World War Two broke out.

    Dressed in “work clobber,” he went into a Royal Australian Air Force to volunteer for aircrew.

    An immaculately “turned out” R.A.A.F. officer surveyed the unkempt figure. “We prefer candidates for aircrew to have some academic qualifications.”

    Gorton returned the gaze. “Master of Arts from Oxford good enough?”

    Oh, and for all the kudo’s Goof Whitlam later received, it was John Gorton who began the withdrawal of the Australian Forces from Vietnam.

    Ahhh…better now. Your cheeks now have apples!

  78. I can publish private information about you

    You know this personal information….. how?

  79. you know

    if there’s a thing thing that’s annoying
    then a hand-full off ‘Report Comments’ makes it vanish

    just sayin’

  80. You know what to do. Stop wasting space on the blog. Either get the clearance or fuck off. But you won’t because you’ll try baseloading again.

    While you’re at it, you delusional, dishonest blowhard, prove the Turtlehead’s claim that I lied. Go on. I dare you.

  81. … I can publish private information about you …

    You know this personal information…. how?

  82. Calli, yes, you get fed lots of meat, doughnuts and coffee. Coffee everywhere with everything and I don’t even drink coffee, got some funny looks like what’s wrong with her. I had to keep explaining that I’m allergic to caffeine and then got even stranger looks.

  83. I have a theory about veganism and other food fetishes.

    Societies where hunger and the memory of hunger are still within living memory celebrate food and abundance in all its glory. Unashamedly.

    Fat, lazy, pampered societies embrace restrictions and control of the good things that keep us healthy.

  84. Societies where hunger and the memory of hunger are still within living memory celebrate food and abundance in all its glory. Unashamedly.

    How would you test this with Americans? They love food. They eat too much of it but the country has never experienced hunger forever.

  85. I suppose that’s where the saying “You can never be too rich or too thin” comes from. When you are wealthy you don’t have to worry about being able to afford food.

  86. … I can publish private information about you …

    You know this personal information about me …. how?

  87. How would you test this with Americans?

    I don’t know. Because the USA is so culturally diverse it may come down to ethnicity or “tribes”. It’s easier in Europe because cultures are more clear cut.

    I would describe the “Diet Coke + gargantuan fast food feast” as a type of fetish. The Diet Coke presumably having magical properties.

  88. Stop repeating the same thing.

    You’re beginning to sound intimidated.
    You claim to have obtained personal information ….. how did you obtain this?

    Was it my name that gave me away? (Salvatore Stupid) you looked me up in the white pages?

    You don’t have to reveal any of this …. confidential… information you have on me, … just how you obtained it.

    2
  89. You’re pitiful Driller. Absolutely pitiful and don’t think the blog owner isn’t aware that you start all the stoush trolling against me. He is. It’s hard to hide without a decent crew of pile onners these days, hey?

  90. You’re delusional

    So speaketh one who claims to have confidential personal financial information based on nothing more than a blog name.

    Sure.

    3
  91. Go get the clearance

    Nobody is preventing you from obtaining a clearance.
    After all, it is you who so badly wants it.

    I thought you’d dug yourself a pretty deep hole when you chickened out of a serious bet.
    Turns out you can dig deeper.

    Seek help dude. Seek professional intervention, before you blow a gasket old man.

    Tell you what Driller. Obtain a clearance from the blog owner that I can publish private information about you and I’m more than happy to show you.

    That way you won’t be hiding and you won’t be able to peddle dishonest crap about yourself every again.

    Even better, why don’t you just go away to another Blog and give us all a rest. You are like a Broken Record. Boring, boring, boring. And vote for Desperate Dan in Stasi Victoria…………………..

    12
  93. You’re beginning to sound intimidated.

    Delusion watch in real time.

    Was it my name that gave me away? (Salvatore Stupid) you looked me up in the white pages?

    Yes.

    Stop repeating the same question and go get the clearance. Go!

  94. Cultures and food is always an interesting subject. Both parts being endlessly fascinating.

    I ate truffle pasta again last night. I could smell the glorious waft as it came from the kitchen.

    In the market yesterday the small stalls had a wealth of different types of mushrooms, from the beautiful golden chantarelles to meaty porcini and some enormous field caps. There were some I’ve never seen before.

  95. Salvatore is my second name, dickhead. You’ve no idea of my first name of my surname (they’re both far more unpronounceable).

    Lay out your methodology for knowing how I do not own the pub. Start with… er.. how about the … starting point.

    ………GO!

  96. Nobody is preventing you from obtaining a clearance.
    After all, it is you who so badly wants it.

    Lol, that’s persuasive. Everyone will believe that.

    I thought you’d dug yourself a pretty deep hole when you chickened out of a serious bet.
    Turns out you can dig deeper.

    There’s nothing to dig and there was no serious bet. You lied.

    Seek help dude. Seek professional intervention, before you blow a gasket old man.

    Driller, you don’t own a pub. It’s been a lie for years.

  97. you don’t own a pub. It’s been a lie for years.

    You know this……… how?

  98. You want this “clearance”, you’ll have to grow a dick & balls and contact Dover yourself.
    You do not require Dover’s blessing to tell how you know personal information about me.

    Perhaps you’re intimidated by Dover?

    1
  99. People who would like can catch me at Adam’s from now on.
    Thanks Dover for this blog. I hope it continues into the future and wish everyone here all the best.
    Yeah, yeah, I know, the libertarian farewell “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.
    Won’t be sharing any sort of space or replies with you from this point on J.C. I wish you good health, ongoing prosperity and happiness. Look after yourself.

  100. You want this “clearance”, you’ll have to grow a dick & balls and contact Dover yourself.

    Just sad. Sad and pitiful

    You do not require Dover’s blessing to tell how you know personal information about me.

    I sure do.

    Perhaps you’re intimidated by Dover?

    I am and you ought to be a little more careful as he’s more than aware of your stoush trolling behavior. Publess.

  101. you ought to be a little more careful

    Oh Lordy, is this a threat?
    You are one helluva sad case you old flog.

    Grow a pair & confess you made up these two items:
    1/. You don’t own a pub.
    2/. I could publish personal information about you.

    You sad pathetic old wanker.

  102. you ought to be a little more careful

    Oh Lordy, is this a threat?
    You are one helluva sad case you old flog.

    Typical, you truncated the ‘you ought to be a little more careful’.

    Grow a pair & confess you made up these two items:
    1/. You don’t own a pub.
    2/. I could publish personal information about you.

    No, because it wouldn’t be true.

    You sad pathetic old wanker.

    Okay.

  103. You have confidential personal financial information about me, yet aren’t able to say how you got it?
    Ergo, you got nothin’

    You’re about to lose serious face on this blog if you can’t show that much.

    6
  104. I bet you will, Leadership. You pretty much said a similar thing earlier this immediately after new year.

    Can you take Driller and Turtlehead with you? Both would add a ton of value to the Lollipop cat.

  105. Driller

    Stop making shit up. I don’t have confidential financial information about you. No-one needs to have your confidential information to know you’re publess.

    You’re about to lose serious face on this blog if you can’t show that much.

    Oh please. You’re such a drama queen.

  106. Lol, dickhead you do not need a clearance. You’ve never worried about printing bullshit before.
    Why the sudden coyness?

    3
  107. 1/. I own a pub.
    2/. Anyone claiming to have information that I do not own a pub is full of shit.
    3/. There is no problem publishing complete bullshit on this blog.

    Go for your life you old goat. Tell us what you “know”.
    Someone needs a laugh.

  108. Driller

    Calm down. Of course I would need a clearance because you’re more than aware that would be doxing otherwise. Stop trying to send us on a squirrel chase. I’m not being coy.

    The info of course could be wrong as it was told to me.

    You say your middle name is Salvatore, but in the past you’ve told us it was a made up name. Also, you’ve often said your heritage is British Isles. Forgive me, but I didn’t realize salvatore was a popular Anglo name. You’re making shit up as you go along.

  109. This will be like your stupid greenhorn blatherings that there is no such thing as an open-cut mine with a linear pit that is 20km long.

    Idiot.

  110. Drills

    You’ve often made comments about how much you hate Italians or folks with an Italian background. This evening you’re coming out as Salvatore? Give us a break.

  111. that would be doxing

    It is only doxing if it is true.
    With that nugget in mind everyone can spot your problem.
    Everyone except you…

    Do the voices tell you anything else about me, or any other personality on the Cat?

  112. 1/. I own a pub.

    I’m pretty sure you’re lying.

    2/. Anyone claiming to have information that I do not own a pub is full of shit.

    It appears to be pretty accurate.

    3/. There is no problem publishing complete bullshit on this blog.

    Yea I know. You supported dishonest upticking.

  113. You’ve often made comments about how much you hate Italians or folks with an Italian background.

    Gotta hand it to you, that’s pretty solid evidence that I don’t own a pub.

    2
  114. Gotta hand it to you, that’s pretty solid evidence that I don’t own a pub.

    You’re lying that your middle name is Salvatore.

  115. You supported dishonest upticking.

    Yet you are unable to produce even one copy/paste or link where I have done any such thing.

    Do the voices tell you anything else?

  116. You’re lying that your middle name is Salvatore.

    You know this ….. how?

  117. I’m pretty sure you’re lying.
    It appears to be pretty accurate.

    I’m pretty sure…. It appears…..
    That sound we hear is goalposts starting to move….

    1
  118. Silence… FMD… don’t me the stupid dickhead believed his own bullshit & has gone off looking for some evidence I support this dickless upticking?

    Oh lordy lord, this is too funny!

  119. Oh my gawd, I need a wall to lean on while I die laughing.

  120. You know this ….. how?

    1. You once told us it was made up and someone picked you up of the fact that you had confused Salvatore with you previous blog name, steve. You thought Salvatore was the Italian equivalent of Steve. You fuckwit.

    2. You’ve also described hating people of an Italian background.

    3. You’ve said you’re Anglo and Salvatore isn’t exactly a popular Anglo name, you big idiot.

    You need to stop lying.

  121. This is funnier than the time he tried to nail his old feller to the bench while simultaneously tightening the workshop vice on his balls.

    2
  122. You thought Salvatore was the Italian equivalent of Steve.

    Yet you will never produce a copy/paste of link to support this.

    Now do the name I used on here before Steve.

    1
  123. You thought Salvatore was the Italian equivalent of Steve.

    Crikey, this moron does believe his own bullshit.
    That explains a lot.

    Er… you jes’ keep on lookin’ for where I supported dickless upticking…. (heh heh)

  124. Oops, Duty calls. Gotta zoom.
    I’ll check back in a coupla weeks, see if Dunning Krugman has surfaced for air in his search for dickless uptick supports.

  125. Zatara:

    …but this summer, the supply was contaminated by raw gas which means the CO2 is useless and has led to a shortage of the gas that is critical to the brewing industry. You know where this is going: the supply chain is being wrecked and prices have jumped as a result.

    There is an alternative – mead – non carbonated mead.
    And Zulu spears, and Andrea the barmaid/enforcer.

  126. Clinton filth wouldn’t look out of place with the bag ladies at the Eddy Ave bus stop. It must be that Clinton is a drunk too.
