GAFL is on. Good time to slip down to Bunnings.

Little blokes soccer club end of season reception on tonight, he’s so excited to be going along and catching up with his teammates. Currently he’s trying to convince his mum that he needs to wear his uniform.

This is what sports all about! (Not the arguing over uniform bit, the rest)

Between the greens banning fertilizer, pushing biofuel and taking land out of production I think the loss of net available food tonnage will be more than a little significant.

These people are fruit loops. What do they think that they will live on. Water and so called fresh air? Or maybe locusts and crickets and grass. WTF?

Last night, as I reeled off to sleep in my LHR airport hotel, I saw them.

Face upon face…hundreds of smiling, happy faces. Talking, laughing, shouting. The hotel lobby resembled The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. People everywhere, with the most enormous suitcases money could buy. The noise was deafening. The Beloved asked the concierge if it was always like this – the sub continentL gave him a smile, a Gallic shrug and said, “Yes. Of course”.

The lift lobby was also full of young men wrangling their suitcases. Customers, not staff. They spied us and parted like the waves of the sea before Moses – “We’ll wait for the next one”. Having been almost bowled over by a few Tomorrow Belongs to Me types in Europe, I nearly dropped from the shock of their courtesy.

The London skies are clear this morning, criss-crossed by vapour trails. We can see them all lined up to land – a string of lights into the distance.

I wonder if one is QF1, skimming down the Thames estuary just as it did on my first visit here. I looked out the window and saw the Tower, tiny like Lego. It was unforgettable.

“Queen Elizabeth II”

Saw an interview with ERII’s valet and he tells the story:

Queen an he are walking the grounds at Balmoral when a US couple on a walking tour turn up.
They don’t recognise her Maj.
“Is this yours?” they ask.
“Yes” say ERII.
“Oh? How long have you owned it?”
“It’ been in the family a long time – I’ve been coming here since I was a small child, so a good 65 years or so”
“They say the Queen lives around here somewhere. If you’ve been coming that long, you must have met her”
“I haven’t, ” says ERII, “but he has.” pointing to the valet.
“What’s she like?”, they ask.
“Oh, she’s very nice and very polite – and she has a wicked sense of humor” says the valet.
“Can we get a photo?” they ask.
“Sure”.
So ERII takes one of them with the valet, then the valet takes one of them with ERII.
They says their goodbyes and wander off.
When they get out of earshot, ERII turns to valet and says “I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they start showing that photo around and someone recognises me!”

Wicked sense of humor indeed!

One day while driving in a thunderstorm, a man got a flat tyre outside of a monastery. A monk came out and invited him inside to have dinner and spend the night. The motorist accepted. That night he had a wonderful dinner of fish and chips. He decided to compliment the chef. Entering the kitchen, he asked the cook “Are you the fish friar?” “No” the man replied “I’m the chip monk”.

Liddell takes out about 10%. In 2002 bernie riordan told bob fucking carr that he had to gold plate NSW power. That is have reserve capacity. hey built about 1200 MW of gas power plants which take up the slack if a coal plant goes out for maintenance. When Liddell goes all those gas plants will have to be on 24/7 and NSW loses its gold plating and reserve capacity. The real shit hits the fan when Eraring, 25-30% of NSW’s power goes. And you can thank this kunt for that.

To which I would add that every superannuation commercial is an advertisement for the re-election of an ALP government. Paul Keating knew that would follow. That’s why he introduced it.

Superannuation removed the need for unions to have the cash flow from membership subscriptions. We’re now seeing that every day in the woke garbage that superannuation funds are investing in.

Superannuation is a socialist investment in the destruction of capitalism and the death of freedom and the free market.

As I said the gas plants will replace Liddell. The MW capacity of Liddell and the gas plants PLUS the new one at Kurri equals Liddell. That’s why the stupid fucking libs were desperate to have Kurri built before Liddell closed. But with all the gas plants operating 24/7 and not as a reserve NSW will have no back up if something does go wrong; and something always goes wrong.

A final word on the Kurri gas plant. When rub and tug won turtle said he wanted the Kurri plant to change from gas to hydrogen. Someone has had a whisper in his ear and as I understand it the Kurri plant will be completely as a gas plant. But again I could be wrong. If Kurri is changed from gas to hydrogen then when Liddell shuts down NSW will be short 600 MW of base load power.

Not just Rosehill, Bern. All Sydney’s racecourses are rubbish — due in large part to the Sydney climate.

Not often I manage 2kms these dayz tho it takes me around 110mins .. more the 1km (45mins) with the occasional 1500mts (75mins) thrown in .. the local pool (outdoor) is closed for refurbishment at the moment so the bike ride to Fairfield is 30kms return which makes the 20 laps my, imposed, limit .. I could use the local indoor (25mts) but find the constant turning monotonous tho easier to swim the longer distances .. plenty of time to go short course when age catches up with me .. LOL!

Brilliant new idea from Macron, which has been tried many times in many places and failed:

Those who actually live in rural France were the most unfavourable toward bringing in migrants to where they live, with 52 per cent against the redistribution policy. People who live in large cities were most in favour of redistributing migrants to the countryside.

Leaving that aside, experience tells us that it fails every time. Of course migrants want to go where the jobs are, they can speak their language and where they can be anonymous. There have been a few comments here recently along those lines.

That said, it might be worth examining why some migrant settlements in regional Australia worked, for example Italians in the Riverina (piss off with the predictable mocks) or Germans in SA or Italians in north Queensland or Sikhs around Coffs Harbour – you get the idea. Instead of focusing on forcing people to go somewhere, maybe they should consider what they are looking for.

Sydernee’s ten million dollar man, so far:

1 x handball
4 x kicks
Score: 0.1

I have a theory.
He was hawking himself around for one last big payday, particularly to Brisbane.
But his final series has been so shitty, those offers would have evaporated and even the Swans must have been having second thoughts.
I reckon he and his manager jumped in and accepted the standing Swans offer during the week before it could be withdrawn.

Oh yep. I’ve been following up a couple of things from the Cat jam session last evening.
First I’ve found there’s an entire Youtube industry of people doing vids of their own “first reactions” to music tracks. Watched with interest about four first reactions to Ian Dury’s Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. It was fun to parse out the real reactions from the contrived, although hard to tell as they all were so young they wouldn’t’ve been born when the LP was released.

Then checked out a Stones track Mr Rotten put up, which got me to this one:

Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones – Hyde Park, London – 25th June 2022

It’s a fine thing to watch. Stones live three months ago doing Symnpathy. And it’s clear as crystal they’re having a great time. Mick Jagger can sing and dance stupendously for a 79 year old (faaaark!), and Keith Richards loves his axe, he really does. It was a pleasure to watch.

Mincing little girly man – from Christopher Andersen’s The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger:

Neither superstar complained when one enterprising photographer snapped the two men in a moment of repose, Bowie tenderly cradling Mick’s head in his lap. Bowie also took Mick to gay films. “David,” said British TV producer Kevin Kahn, “is a born proselytizer.”

By October 1973, the Bowies were living on Oakley Street, just a stroll from Cheyne Walk. Angie had been out of town for a few days when she returned home one morning and went straight to the kitchen to make some tea. The Bowies’ maid, who had arrived about an hour earlier, approached the lady of the house with a peculiar look on her face. “Someone,” she told Angie, “is in your bed.”

Angie went upstairs to her bedroom, slowly pushed the door open, and there they were: Mick Jagger and David Bowie, naked in bed together, sleeping. Both men woke up with a start. “Oh, hello,” said Bowie, clearly taken by surprise. “How are you?”

“I’m fine,” Angie replied. “Do you want some coffee?”

Mick, blinking awake, remained silent. Angie returned a few minutes later with coffee and orange juice on a tray. While it was not a case of coitus interrupts, Angie “felt absolutely dead certain that they’d been screwing. It was so obvious, in fact, that I never even considered the possibility that they hadn’t been screwing.”

And:

Ava Cherry, a backup singer who lived with the Bowies for a time, reportedly told a friend that “Mick and David were really sexually obsessed with each other. Even though I was in bed with them many times, I ended up just watching them have sex.”

Ground control to Major Tom – ‘Oi, we’ve run out of amyl nitrite up here.’

I feel the issues this blog has flailed to consider when considering Trump and the current situation are as follows and in no particular order.

Why were EO 13818 and 13848 renewed in the (so called Biden administration) ?

Was the insurrection act signed during Trump administration? Is it still in enforcement?

Why did Trump visit DC recently to convey a personal message to the head of WH security?

If the Ukraine is a money laundering industrial complex (that we know it is) why aren’t US troops on the ground protecting their complex they created via a colour revolution in 2014 created via the likes of Victoria Nuland and Norm Eisen.?

Compare the raids of Rodger Stone and the raid on Mar a Lago.

The media were media were there before the FBI rolled up in Stones case.

A black hat operation.

In the Mar a Lago instance the first person to alert the media to the raid was Donald Trump. About 9 hours after it commenced.

So that begs the question that it was a white hat operation. No media, no leaks.

Why did the FBI release pictures of documents from the raid?

Do they relate to the Iran nuclear deal ?

Why is a Time magazine cover in one of the pictures that also appeared in a Q post?

Why is Donald Trump and Kash Patel trolling the fake news media around Qposts?

They are doing it. And if you can’t see it well you’ll just have to pay a little bit more attention perhaps.

The biggest question is perhaps, the insurrection act.

Best wishes to y’all.
