Sadly, i fear the fact that it is Andrew Bolt presenting an absolutely clear and correct argument on behalf of Australian taxpayers re Brit’s compo claim, will ensure Albosleazy will approve the cheque as quickly as he can get away with it.
Not that it will save Brit from the consequences of ripping off Australian taxpayers in this way. The sledging will be epic. But it could buy her a very comfortable buffer somewhere else on the planet.
It is a degrading insult to the effort put in by every single taxpayer to earn that money they are forced to hand over to the incompetent parasites of government.

Does he qualify as an “incompetent parasite” on your Clown Planet?
Yeah, nah.
Your Pom-Pom waving over lockdowns and coerced vaccinations throughout the last 30 months (including to suggest denying public healthcare to the unvaccinated) demonstrated your principles amply.
You absolutely are not defending any principles that I’ve supposedly abandoned. Let me assure you, I’ve never held the principles you defend. I’m not an animal, and the evil inside me is well under control.

A touring ventriloquist puts on a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting “I’ve heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes! What makes you think you can stereotype blonde women that way? What does the colour of a woman’s hair have to do with her worth as a human being? Its men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general, pathetically all in the name of humour!”
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologise but the blonde interrupts yelling “You stay out of this! I’m talking to that little shit on your lap!”

I went to a cafe recently, waited in the line and had exact change ready for my order when I got to the front, only to find they had a very small sign by the register saying they don’t accept cash. Card only.
I walked out, as did the lady behind me. Probably doesn’t cost them much business overall, but I wonder….
Was just looking to enjoy a simple coffee in a park and watch the world go by. Oh well, saved a couple of bucks I guess.

Nobody aged twenty, no matter their background or qualifications has the experience required to advise anyone, much less gov ministers. $200,000 a year for him, I suspect he is related to or knows someone high up in the party or similar. The fact the the fool ended up in the shit just demonstrates that he has no idea of how the world works, I feel sorry for him but the fools that employed a fool at $200k are just as stupid and ignorant.
“Not that it will save Brit from the consequences of ripping off Australian taxpayers in this way. The sledging will be epic. But it could buy her a very comfortable buffer somewhere else on the planet.”
I wish but Brave Brittaneeeeeeee da Knickleress isn’t going anywhere. She’ll stay right here in Oz, along with her sinister svengali partner (who’s long been the manipulator here), and she’ll carve out a career, on our dime of course, around being “Brave Brittaneeeee”. She’s become a celebrity. I reckon she’ll be awarded AOTY in the next year or two.
More importantly, the left can’t drop her. She’s their prized victim, their poster girl to trot out in order to change our laws so that all men who are accused of rape, and particularly white men who are accused of rape, are guilty until proven innocent. From day one the Brittaneeee saga has been about two things only, the first one was to destroy the Morrison government and the second one was trashing the presumption of innocence.
my rusty understanding of the Currency Act is that legal tender cannot be refused to satisfy debts. Individual transactions are another matter. I suspect I can demand that you pay me in gold, or bananas and pineapples, if that is what I require to exchange goods and services.
The definition of legal tender is also limits the use of loose change, such as using 5 cents pieces to pay a $5 account.
Tim Blair posted this brilliant summary overnight:
Australia, for example, used to work. It was difficult for Australia to do otherwise, given such an abundance of natural energy sources that our power prices were among the cheapest on earth.
Oil, coal, gas, nuclear … we had it all. We still have it, in fact, but we’re increasingly prohibited from drilling and mining, and we’ve never even been permitted to locally exploit our massive uranium reserves.
Instead we’ve been pushed towards renewable energy, because reducing our already tiny global carbon dioxide contribution to something even tinier is apparently going to save the planet.
As a consequence, the Labor government now plans to dish out via the states $1.5 billion in power bill rebates so energy-rich Australians can cover their energy costs.
“We were facing price rises next year of 36 per cent,” Energy Minister Chris Bowen said on Saturday, attempting to justify the rebate scheme and a plan to cap the wholesale coal and gas markets.
“That’s not acceptable,” Bowen, who would’ve fit right in during the Whitlam years, continued. “Either you intervene and you take the sting out of those price rises or you don’t.”
Interventions by green-infected governments and corporate climate activists are what caused those price rises in the first place.
Bowen believes rebates will see “real relief flow through to those who need it most”. In other words, everything is screwed up so badly that we’re now throwing tax dollars at people who’d otherwise be unable to pay their power bills.
In Australia. In a country where energy is everywhere. This is the equivalent of petrol rebates in Kuwait or ice subsidies in the Antarctic.
Speaking of petrol, we’ve now moved beyond the theory phase of electric vehicles and are meeting the reality. The cumbersome, inefficient, expensive, charmless reality.
Bowen finally has his first electric ute on the market, the Chinese-made LDV eT60. At $93,000, it costs twice as much as its diesel equivalent yet does everything worse.
But there’s apparently a waiting list, courtesy of emissions mandates for government agency fleets.
First the government devises stupid rules, then it makes you pay for them. Which means your money is sent straight to China’s communist party, owners of LDV.
Remember when Bowen posed in the US with a new-for-2022 electric Ford F-150 Lightning ute? “Range of around 500km,” Bowen gushed online. “Can tow boats and caravans and goes like you wouldn’t believe.”
Sadly, Bowen lamented, this electric miracle isn’t available here due to “poor policies”. He’s wrong, as usual. Ford doesn’t sell the Lightning here because it would be too expensive, retailing beyond $150,000.
At that price, buyers might expect their truck to perform truck-like feats. Which brings us to Bowen’s range and towing claims.
Earlier this year, US YouTuber Tyler Hoover bought a big new Lightning. In September, he hooked an empty trailer to the beast and set out on a 50km drive.
A the start of his journey, Hoover’s Ford promised 320km of range – but towing that simple, two-axle trailer absolutely killed it. After 50km, range was down to just 212km.
Worse was to come on Hoover’s return journey, with the loaded trailer now weighing 1680kg (not even half the Ford’s claimed towing capacity). That 50km jaunt consumed 145km of range.
“This truck,” Hoover says in his towing video, “can’t do normal truck things.” With such a reduced range, he explains, “you would be stopping every hour to recharge, which would take about 45 minutes a pop”.
Owners of Ford’s Lightning are now experiencing their first winter of EV trucking. As Hoover demonstrates online, cold weather also hammers the Lightning’s range. The vehicle’s user manual actually suggests turning the heater off to preserve battery charge.
Ford’s Lightning is the Chris Bowen of cars. It promises massive range. He promises $275 power bill reductions. Neither delivers.
Perhaps cars aren’t your thing, so all of this means little. Perhaps you’re more into cooking, which means you use a gas stove – infinitely superior to any electric nonsense.
Well, buckle up, kiddo, because you’re next. “A coalition of chefs, doctors, climate scientists and real estate developers have joined forces,” the ABC reported last month, “with the aim of removing gas from kitchens worldwide.
“Campaigners say in addition to heating the climate, gas stoves contribute to asthma and other health conditions.
“And that coalition thinks that if they can rid kitchens of gas, they’ll rid homes of the fossil fuel altogether.”
We’ll likely have little say otherwise. Developers have already signed up to stop putting gas appliances in new buildings by 2030.
Look around your house. Identify things that work. Prepare for them to be replaced with rubbish.
I remember the olden days, when you were NOT GUILTY until proven otherwise….crazy times I know!
Here’s a look at one of the seats Labor was thought likely to lose. if the Libs and the other freedom/conservative parties had preferenced each other then the Libs would’ve got around 52% of the vote and one. The fact that all of these stupid parties preferenced to maximise their own chances rather than get their side of politics up shows how stupid and short sighted they all are. Funny how all the 1st preferences the Libs lost went to the Nationals, there’s a message there of course but Pessuto and his mates won’t see it.

Monty can help us to understand the inherent nuance.
Roth is saying that underage kids are accessing hook up sites already, getting around existing barriers by lying about their age, so maybe it would be better to legalise it – for under-18s to only hook up with their age peers, not adults – and make it safe rather than let it run free for adult predators to roam.
In other words, he is arguing the opposite of what you say he is.
Suuuuure he is, m0nty=fa.
That’s why he was so vigorous in removing child exploitation material from Twatter. Oh, sorry, forget that ….

A couple of books that made me a conservationist in my teens.
‘The Great Extermination” by AJ Marshall, well written overview of the massive hunting of native animals from settlement. There was money to be made and lots of animals with great skins and understandably the took advantage of it. I remember the chapter on saltwater crocs well, they were almost hunted to extinction, looking back now I think it’s a pity they weren’t.
‘Silent Spring’, again it scared the crap out of me and most of those who read it. Later I came to understand the weakness of her thesis.
Anyway I joined the newly formed ACF, met some great people most of whom loved the bush and the country and just wanted things to settle down and minimise the damage done to the flora and fauna. Wasn’t long till it was overrun by people who had different goals and they’ve never stopped since. I only lasted a couple of years with them.
Now the top of Australia is chockers full of crocs, places where you could safely swim and fish in the early seventies are just no go zones now. The process continues, their latest victory is Mt Warning.

Re the bloke on $350k a year and can’t afford a house. Something wrong there, for a million he can get a pretty good place in a reasonable area, that would be only three times his annual income, I think the median in Australia is ten times (which is insane). Apparently his missus works too so at least another $50k there. He could do what many of us did, buy the crappiest house in the best area you can afford and spend a lot of your spare time and money on fixing it up.
Sounds like he hasn’t got a deposit, and on that sort of money and aged 43 he should’ve a pretty big deposit saved, even so, with that income you can still get a loan on a 5% deposit, more expensive but still out there. I reckon he wants more than he can really afford.
A lot has already been done to make laundering clothes inefficient. When I was a kid my mother used to throw clothes into a top loader washing machine, sprinkle some detergent powder over the top and thirty minutes later they were clean.
These days I have to spray the stains before the wash and one and a half hour later the stains are still there. Not only are the spray and the detergent useless but the actual washing time out of the hour and a half is just 23 minutes. Ergo the old Spree and Hoovers and Whirlpools were much better.
So I take it the plan is to make the laundry detergents even less effective. Why not seeing as our betters only have dry clean clothes, no need for peasant level laundering.

Your description did remind me of outrageously arctic days on my uncle’s sheep farm in your area. Goulburn can certainly be bleak when it turns nasty.
Knew about the gas in the home.
Stupid to convert gas to electricity when gas to heat in the home is so more efficient.
My ducted gas heating and cook top were only replaced in the last couple of years so if idiots want me to replace they can pay for them, ditto my rather ancient but still steady hot and strong gas hot water.
Note that in his late night babbling in defence of Roth, m0nty=fa has still not addressed the main point, namely that Roth seems to have been, at best, dilatory in removing child exploitation material from Twatter. Might it have been better had Roth shown less interest in deleting photos of Hunter Bunter’s “nine inch hog” and more interest in removing material about much smaller “hogs”?
Until m0nty=fa addresses this point, his deflection about anti-Semitism (which is a bit rich coming from someone who has defended anti-Semites previously) is simply a diversion to evade answering the main question. Why was Roth apparently so dilatory in removing child sex exploitation material from Twatter?

That doesn’t seem to be supported by any evidence.
As for suggesting that it’s reasonable for grindr have a 16 to 18 division (impossible in fact when in the US age of consent laws vary from state to state) how could you possibly be serious knowing how much of a problem internet grooming is now?

I noticed Dot when I looked at a couple of trending hashtags and saw the porno promoters were very prompt in participating.
Bravo, bons.
The polite middle ground would be to place the cash so deep on the server’s side of the counter that they cannot avoid touching it- as soon as they do, a bright “There you go, keep the change!” and you’re away.

Why Strange Clots Form After mRNA Jabs, Treatments to Consider
Go on Monty, tell us again how public healthcare should be denied because they “will be an unwarranted burden on the health system and anti-vaxxers should have to pay their way given they are being deliberately stupid about it”.

I’ll hazard a guess that they didn’t care, stopping Trump’s mean tweets was much more important.

We are hounded at every turn by ‘experts’, many of whose actual experience is only the most glancingly tangential – but it is not their experience being sold to us but the revered sobriquet: Expert.
How else do you explain an obsolete mammal like Tim Flannery, for example.
But politicians love them because they claim to be acting under the authority of an expert for their most lamebrained schemes – and you have absolutely no business questioning it because you are not an expert.
Never noticed but obviously vital is that in choosing experts to listen to is also a skill, being able to sift through the family of similar but distinct theories, being able to discern when an ‘expert’ has drifted from the precincts of their oracular rites and onto grounds where they are mere mortals, and finally to be able to take the expert’s advice and weigh it up against competing priorities – it will hardly come as a surprise that someone who directs all their attention at a narrow and precise field does so at the expense of more general considerations, and this can lead to some idiosyncratic takes on life.
You just know that there are nuclear physicists out there who cannot see why their country spends a percentage of GDP on defence which we are not using when dedicating the same resources to particle colliders might help is research the nature of strings and quarks and bosons and leptons and whatnot.
Knowing when and how to draw upon expertise is its own talent, and far more rare than most people will suppose.
Politicians in general are not capable of the above. They are stupid people, myopic and only able to see things close to them, only stirred by something that looks like it might make contact with them, they seem dimly aware of their colleagues and sense that they are dependent upon them to some degree but they are not loyal to any particular one of them. Their one gift is the soundbite, and the ‘expert’ soundbite is merely one species amongst others like the ‘moral principle’ soundbite, the ‘defiance when accused’ soundbite, the ‘fairness’ soundbite, and the ‘for the future’ one. Just words, just empty formulae, but somehow (since their effect takes somewhere beyond the fog that envelopes them) they work.
Bowen is the worst example of this.

I’d have been tempted to airily say thank goodness it seems as if all the climate CO2 modelling is overblown and wrong, just like a lot of the Covid modelling, and quickly run through ‘the things that haven’t happened’ – ie. the usual things about floods, fires, polar bears, glaciers melting ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme heat – all being now shown to have variations that are well within normal historic levels. How good is that? you could ask.
Then I’d say brrr, it’s a cold summer this year isn’t it, and pull a cardie around me.

You are still (deliberately?) evading the principal point. Was Roth less that diligent t removing child sex exploitation material from Twatter? This is not relevant to his personal sexual proclivities, only to his willingness to enforce proper legal standards.
He seems to have been far more enthusiastic about removing mean tweets than about removing child sex exploitation material.
Now, answer the question. If you do not, we must assume that you are unconcerned about the child sex exploitation material that was not being promptly removed from Twatter.

ABCcess running cover for potential WA blackouts over summer.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-12/fears-over-summer-power-supplies-perth-southern-wa/101734252
Amid forecasts of a hotter-than-average summer across WA’s south, fears are growing about the health of the state’s main power system and whether the lights will stay on over the coming months.
Mr Wearmouth acknowledged recent pressure on the system was being heightened by a series of outages that have hit some major, largely gas-fired plants.
….
“The issue is that power systems are amazingly robust things, but they will only take so much.
“And there seems to be a real confluence of things happening at the moment.”
In June, the state announced it would close its two remaining coal-fired plants by 2029, leaving just one privately owned coal generator.
The decision came amid a deepening crisis in the coal hub of Collie, south of Perth, where one miner is in receivership and the other is struggling to stay afloat.
You just cut the throats of their major customers, gee, I wonder if that might affect their viability??
…
According to the minister, Synergy was dealing with challenges to fuel supply by importing coal from New South Wales and ensuring gas storage levels were in good shape.
He also noted AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) had gone to the market seeking extra back-up reserves of energy from generators and big power users who could pare back demand at times when the grid was under strain
Demand management – serious countries dont have industry which relies on intermittent power..
“I’m not saying that there won’t be individual outages for specific customers,” he said.
“But in terms of the grid itself, it’s ready for the summer.”
Country WA, prepare your Angus!
…
Rat chews hole in side of ship, leaves ship…
Liz Aitken runs renewable energy consultancy, Empire Carbon & Energy, from her home in Perth’s eastern suburbs.
She said she had become so concerned about the state of the grid that she took matters into her own hands three years ago.
“That’s part of the reason why I made the effort to install batteries and solar in my house back in 2019,” Ms Aitken said.
“I did not want to be disconnected from the grid or have my power cut when I’m in the middle of an important Zoom meeting.”
An important zoom meeting, where you will push for more/faster unreliables to e added to the grid.
Last summer, when problems with the poles-and-wires network sparked rolling blackouts during an intense heatwave, she admits she was one of the lucky ones whose supplies were unaffected.
But casting her eyes forward, she’s worried she might not be so lucky this time around.
“I believe we’re on a knife edge up until Christmas,” she said.
“Nothing can go wrong.
“We’re just hanging in there at the moment.
“If we get a run of really hot days, if another plant falls over, I think we could find ourselves in a situation with blackouts fairly quickly.”
Ms Aitken argued the government was being caught flat-footed by the rapid pace of change in the energy industry, calling for the transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable sources to be treated as an emergency.
I agree completely, the transition away from fossil fuels is an emergency, just no in the way this parasite reckons.
The rise in chronic inflammatory health conditions over the last 50 years or so has directly accompanied the rise in inflammatory stimuli from 2 main ‘big business’ sources:
1) Processed food (seed oils and carbs are both highly inflammatory)
2) Vaxxines (they are *designed* to stimulate the immune system, and contain various inflammatory ‘adjuvants’ to increase that)
You name the chronic illness, it has an inflammatory component: asthma, eczema, sinusitis, tonsillitis, obesity, Diabetes (Types 1 and 2), dementia (aka ‘type 3 diabetes’), hypertension, and I am increasingly wondering whether the explosion in behavioural disorders of children (autism, ADHD) is related as well.

I moved down here eight months ago. I thought about somewhere warmer, having lived in warmer climes in my twenties. Much as I like the heat, it does something to most people. There is a sound basis for the term “Gone Troppo”.

By the way, it is absolutely bucketing down right now!
Where does this assertion that Twitter used to be a rock spider paradise come from? Where is the research? Or is it just something Musk said once that is now treated as Gospel by the loving hordes.
Jab jab booster booster booster aaaand …………………………………………
A controversial figure of late, Peter Marks, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been front and center in the regulatory agency’s aggressive greenlights associated with the COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic. Among other things, the agency has been criticized for dropping its rigorous standards during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency at least, when applied to the mRNA vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2. Interestingly, Dr. Marks has now gone on the record in a piece published in JAMA Network titled “Urgent Need for Next Generation COVID-19 Vaccines” in a clear recognition that the current “version 1.0”, first generation COVID-19 vaccines are no longer viable to protect the American public. This media has labeled the COVID-19 vaccines as novel, version 1.0 since the late spring of 2021, when it became very apparent that vaccine durability challenges coupled with a mutating virus (which was called out by critical scientists from the start) represented a challenge for vaccine durability. While TrialSite maintains the COVID-19 vaccines partially blunted the sharp edge of the pandemic, initially they did so at a severe cost.

On my last flight I was searching for a seat, and a kind woman who appeared to recognize me smiled at an open seat next to her. I sat down and learned she is married to a prominent government official with whom she was traveling. As we talked, she told me her story of taking one of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and then developing membranous nephropathy. This is a disorder caused by auto-antibodies directed against the phospholipase A2 receptor on podocytes, which are critical cells in the kidney’s filtration apparatus. Membranous nephropathy like so many side effects is due to the Spike protein and can occur with SARS-CoV-2 infection and with vaccination. Ma and coworkers recently described five cases with the infection and 37 more after COVID-19 vaccination—all with the genetic vaccines except for one with a killed virus vaccine.

There’s a place near me that makes roto moulded plastic products. They sometimes have seconds and sell them on the side at a discount. A while back I put myself on the waiting list for a fishing kayak, they used to sell seconds for around 25/30% discount on RRP, I guess about the wholesale price to dealers.
They rang me a minute ago and had a second for sale for $1300 plus $50 for a paddle. A quick search for prices shows them selling retail at $1350, inc paddle. I asked why they’re trying to sell me a second at RRP and they said it was a good price. I’m not getting myself a kayak for Christmas, they’ll never get my business again.

https://www.christianpost.com/news/is-twitter-cracking-down-on-accounts-showing-child-sexual-abuse.html
Under Elon Musk, Twitter has nearly doubled its suspension of accounts posting images and videos exploiting child sexual abuse, according to a cybersecurity expert. Yet, one advocacy group warns that while CSAM hashtags have been removed, such content is still easily found.
Andrea Stroppa of Ghost Data, who has been working alongside Twitter’s Trust and Safety team, tweeted a thread on Saturday providing updates on the effort to combat child sexual exploitation material.
“Twitter updated its mechanism to detect content related to child sexual abuse/exploitation material. Faster, more efficient, and more aggressive. No mercy for those who are involved in these illegal activities,” tweeted Stroppa. “The daily suspension rate has ALMOST DOUBLED over the past few days. It means that Twitter is doing a capillary analysis of contents, especially those published in the past. It doesn’t matter when illicit content has been published. Twitter will find it and act accordingly.”
Stroppa added that over a recent 24-hour period, Twitter “took down 44,000 suspicious accounts, including over 1,300 profiles that tried to bypass detection using codewords and text in images to communicate. Zero tolerance.”

“There are thousands of gender clinics being put up over all of America,” he said. “As soon as [kids] go in and say, ‘I’m a tomboy’ or ‘This makes me feel comfortable,’ and then a psychologist says, ‘Oh, you’re transgender.’ And then the next day, you’re on hormones – the same hormones they are using for medical castration for pedophiles. Now, they are giving this to healthy 13-year-olds.”
“Does this seem right?” he asked. “This is why I am trying to tell America to wake up.”
….Beck said that when he began transitioning, it took just an hour-long meeting at Veterans Affairs to be offered hormones.
“I walked into a psychologist’s office, [and] in one day I have a letter in my hand saying I was transgender. I was authorized for hormones. I was authorized all this other stuff,” Beck said.
…”This is a billion-dollar industry between psychologists, between surgeries, between hormones, between chemicals, between follow-up treatments,” he continued. “There are thousands of gender clinics popping up all over our country. And each of those gender clinics is going to be pulling in probably over $50 million.”

Up here near South Head we just had a really violent thunderstorm come through from the West.
I was hoved back in bed having felt the need for a quick nap after brekkie and awoke to strange sounds as it was coming in an unusual way. I haul out of bed and open the doors to the verandah where a rack of washing is blowing every which way. I close our bedroom doors pronto and I drag it into the terrace room and shut all windows and doors, then for a moment the wind blast is so fierce that I resist going out onto the verandah again in case I am blown off. Everything in the horizontal rain was blowing horizontal. Thought we might lose a tree, but no such luck!
Coastal weather can be rough too.
Joe was a successful lawyer, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his career and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across an old country doctor who solved the problem.
“The good news is I can cure your headaches… the bad news is that it will require castration”. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles”.
Of course Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn’t concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realised that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men’s clothing store and thought ‘That’s exactly what I need – a new suit!’
He entered the shop and told the salesman “I’d like a new suit”. The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said “Let’s see… size 42 long”. Joe laughed “That’s right, how did you know?” “Been in business 60 years!”
Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked “How about a new shirt?” Joe thought for a moment and then said “Sure…” The salesman eyed Joe and said “let’s see… 34 sleeves and… 16 and a half neck”. Joe was surprised “That’s right, how did you know?” “Been in the business 60 years” came the reply.
Joe tried one the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked “How about some new shoes?” Joe was on a roll and said “Sure!” The salesman eyed Joe’s feet and said “Let’s see… 10-1/2… E”. Joe said astonished “That’s right, how did you know?” “Been in business 60 years!”
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked “How about some new underwear?” Joe thought for a second and said “Sure!” The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe’s waist and said “Let’s see… size 36”. Joe laughed “Ah ha! I got you I’ve worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old”. “The salesman shook his head “You can’t wear a size 34, it will press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache”.

Gosh. All that, and he’d never even heard a symphony orchestra. He had to be content with pan pipes and some harp strings.
I wonder what he would have made of a Chinese Opera.
If SARS-COV2 was made in a lab, which groups were targeted?

Dunno. Let’s ask his wife what chores she left him for today.

It’s a battlefield, and men have no clue about the rules because rules change all the time and without reason. A bit like woke politics. Our social rules are rapidly sliding into a mess where the victor in any conflict is decided not by the strength of their argument but by their position on the social justice totem pole.

Perhaps Smith should spend more time developing his own character and less time moralising before the press.
Well said. Haven’t Cricket Australia employed that renowned ethicist Dr Longstaff to guide our cricketers to better moral choices? Sounds like it is working well. I assume the Ethics Centre are being rewarded handsomely for helping CA.
Thanks for the PJ Watson vid up above. I watched it all, and found it extremely good on the excesses of modern architecture. However, I don’t want to go full King Charles 3 about it, I’d just like to see, as Trump ordered and Biden immediately repealed, a better sense of form in the built environment in both public and private new-build architecture, as well as in unsympathetic additions to old buildings.
I hate to think that my ancestral church will end up attached to one of these nightmares, given the pressure on building land. I will be checking it out with the diocese in our upcoming re-visit to the UK.

A random comment I made the other day led to the reply “You’re not defending the Church, are you Bob?!?”
I didn’t know that, RD.
That might explain Cummings’s global warming evangelism.
Seems “ethics” for our cricketers is telling other people what they should be doing. No wonder their stocks with the public are at a nearly all time low.
Back in the ’80s they used to have a chaplain who was a no nonsense fellow.
Is the UK SLEEPWALKING into a food shortage crisis?

A clear sign of Global Warming, Bruce.
more to the point why is it harassment for a man to respond to it.
this is just more neo-marxist Hegelian direct conflict creation. They have weaponised normal human interaction

WTF?!?
Seems a comment of mine last night generated some discussion I missed as I generally don’t frequent the blog after the early evening.
It was question as to whether Paul Murray’s very public atheism coloured his commentary on the Pell matter. I think that’s a valid question, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked it. Why did people of various persuausions regard Pell as guilty when the evidence presented was so weak?
That’s not to say all atheists might have been equally influenced on the matter by their beliefs.
Always important not to attribute more meaning to the words of a contributor than they actually indicate.
Having said that, there’s certainly a debate to be had about how our philosophical presuppositions influence our thinking, because they clearly do, although with variations in individuals, but that might be for another day.
Liz there is an interesting hypothesis floating around that prior to language there was music. “The Singing Neandertals” by Steve Mithen is a prominent example of that and the idea goes back many centuries.
“Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.”
Emil Cioran
Och. Aye Laddie, ye not be banning my wee kilt!
Climate change is less real than the urban heat island effect which fools city types into believing the weather is hotter than it used to be.
Avalon in the far west of Melbourne is 11.7 degrees at the moment as a fresh SW is blowing in from the countryside.
Olympic Park which is just to the east of the CBD is at 16.5 as the wind is blocked and the tar and concrete radiate the stored heat back out.
The average minimum temperature for Olympic Park is one degree higher than Swan Hill for December.
Let’s frame energy policy around this absurdity, you know it makes sense.
People who have experienced such trauma often irrationally identify with the accuser. Thankfully in my case C.L and others made a rational and hyperbole free case that prevented me from doing the same, Roger.
Another good column by Albrechtsen in today’s Paywallian. I imagine it’s not just Brittany feeling a bit sick this morning
In Danisbad* and Sydeny we have constructed two enormous heat sinks.
Not enough mass to carry us over the winter, but we are getting ever closer.

It’s a ‘must watch to the end’. Most of us here have twigged but he gives a very good run down on how we are being manipulated into trusting the experts.
10/10 if you want to understand the scam.

At least he wasn’t crying/blubbering. .

And remind them on every possible occasion that the Klimate Alarmists are already moving to base their future Klimate response on the COVID response, which did so much harm.
The thing about the climate catastrophists is that they never think that the rules relate to them. But what was found with the CCP lockdown controls is that everyone was under the thumb of the govt.
(I realise that the BLM crowd had that march in Melb) but as it went on, no-one was exempt. Gee, even that twit NSW minister lost his position because one of the papers showed him staying at his Central Coast holiday home rather than his principal place of residence. And there also was that group coming up the coast in a boat to get out of Melb, who got pinged.
Yes, the increasing cost of power is affecting everyone to a greater or lesser degree, depending on your bank balance. But the push to remove natural gas appliances – which will affect everyone in the same way (and 4x drive ICEs) – is not something that those luvvies on the Climate Change bandwagon will like.
Reduced allowance to fly, to purchase what you want, when you want, that will affect the higher spenders. Yer no longer special, mate. Maybe the Great Reset is in the beginning of itself being reset by us all being equally screwed.
Neil Oliver on the joy and meaning of Christmas, which they are trying to take away from us.
Even more poignant in the cold and expensive Christmas being served up in the UK this year.
As we saw with Covid though, ‘special’ people can obtain exemptions, and don’t forget that a lot of it will be done via pricing mechanisms, which will simply exclude a lot of people from things they used to do, like travel. It’s happening already with airline fares, and while the airlines say this is due to getting back up to speed due to Covid, you can bet that return to full ‘speed’ will will soon be throttled back, reduced by fuel restrictions and other ‘green’ mechanisms limiting the number of flights – which will then become hugely expensive. Transfer that sort of thinking to all of the things people enjoy in life, such as reliable ICE cars, holiday accommodation, cook’s gas kitchens, home extensions and choice of schooling, and the middle classes will suffer, but have no voice. The rich will thrive.
People already financially struggling, holding ordinary jobs against the tide of economic change, or the young trying to estabalish a marriage and children, will be the biggest losers in the new great re-set.
