JC.
I have a memory like a steal trap.
You know I left you alone and never got caught up in your nightly stouches as they were personality related.
I was here for the politics.
You were just taking out your frustrations with yourself with country blokes you are jealous of.
But then you…and the internet is forever…decided to wander in to my conversations and start calling me a red neck and other racist slanderous names.
You are now suggesting I am a cop killer.
The women here have stated they detest the word c..t above all others.
And they dish it out and use this langauge I’ve used …but they never say c…t….
That is irrelevent to you.
My principles are not to swear in front of ladies until I hear them swear first, or they continue to hang around sewers while arseholes like yourself with little man syndrome use disgusting language they claim to detest.
For best results, have them carry black broomsticks.
and even a steel one.
Channel 7 news has really got this power price thing sorted out. “Power prices will still go up but by $230- less.” You couldn’t make this stuff up, or should that be stuff-up?
calli, I did a big reno five years ago and got Bosch appliances for the kitchen and laundry – gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and combo washer/dryer. Very happy with them so far.
That cracked me up calli.
I think it’s pretty easy to understand Kezzer. You’re just being a very difficult pouty teenage gal these days. You were much more at ease when teaming up to belt into Liz, you cowardly little zero.

The first serious job I had 2 apprentices made a combo front loading washer dryer in their lunch breaks and after work. At least 20 years ahead of the pack. Only problem, the tooling was going cost the value of the factory. Might have saved them in the long run.

Dover, nobody expects you to sit on this blog 24/7 to monitor obnoxious posts from JC that deliberately foul page after page on Open Threads. A community member who JC doesn’t like posts something (unrelated to him) and in strides JC , attacking for no reason. 99% of the time, he starts the stoushes.
I’m not the only person who owns you.

It was an obscene pile-on by the media encouraged by government. I feel for the family and the two brothers. Yes, it should be scrutinized but the only person that I can think of capable of instigating such an inquiry would seem to be Malcolm Roberts.

A little c…t with hang ups about people who can weld, build sheds, drive big twucks, fix things, make things etc.
He’s full of piss and wind.
And he’s so thick that he even forgets who starts the stouches, the racist names he uses when he does start them, and then cries like a little baby when they get used back at him.
The only reason I’m going easy on him like this is that since the jab he’s just been a grizzly, sniffly , aggressive bore.

Thanks for the sitrep and intel, General mOntgomery. How could the Ukes manage without you?
The losses being racked up in Bakhmut suggest otherwise. It won’t be decisive but it will be significant.
Oh, that’s frightening.
And I don’t believe I’ve ever referred to you as a battered hubbie, so what’s your point? That’s reserved for the “specials”.
You’re here to post disturbing crap. Right off the bat, you started the morning abusing someone.
I’m jealous of country folk? Really? That’s a new one. Yeah , I envy you for living in rural QLD. There I said it. I admit it. You doofus.
Actually you did, but that doesn’t matter Senor Train. Don’t lie to me. It appears to be the default position for Queerslanders
Nope, but you’ve made some very disturbing comments over the past couple of years and if I were you I’d be a little worried about the front door being pushed in and a bunch of SWATTERS rummage through your house while your on the floor handcuffed. Especially after what’s just happened.
Sure.
Okay. So I should use your standard for contemptibles like you? No, you don’t make my rules, you redneck.
Totally.
When was the time Rosie swore at you? You called her evil today. You also called her some awful names just yesterday. Today, you were picking on Calli. Some while ago “Duk” for throwing abusive sexual innuendo against Rosie. Tough guy.

Sorry if my comments don’t make you feel any better, however you have the site’s angry Karen (GMH) rooting for you. That’s always a plus when you have angry karen onside giving you upticks.

The Belarus stuff is interesting. The Russians have been trying to get them in since February, but the Belarus general staff seem to be dragging their heels as hard as they possibly can. If the Russians have put a large force into Belarus and have convinced them into “manoeuvres” on the southern border it suggests some interesting arm twisting is going on. Which could be fun. Especially if Vlad has a plan to off Mr Luka and take over the place.

OK, let’s get serious here. You see how JC lies?

On Friday, cops stopped the father of the Vice President of the EU parliament leaving a hotel. When they checked, they found he had a suitcase stuffed with cash. It’s probable that it was a huge bribe from Qatar hoping to step in as a gas supplier to Europe now that Russia is embargoed. The VP has stepped down but it’s clear that Qatar shows the way to us all when dealing with the EU.
Thanks for CL’s post for the link from the Oz – but surely it’s just a “bit off” that Reynolds and Cash were told their legal costs wouldnt’ be paid if they attended Higgins mediation?
Reynolds and Cash both have an ax to grind with Higgins.
Okay, it’s a Free Country, but why should they be indemnified against the enormous costs of a get square in the Federal Court?
Either or both could still have attended the Mediation, but chose not to.

ABC News just did a cross to Myer music bowl where a memorial service for Archie Roach is about to kick off.
A few punters were given the chance to say something and we heard from a group of four youths dressed in hoodies, caps and sunglasses. They were all obviously white. The tallest of the four talked about how much Archie meant to ‘us blackfellas’.
His mate, hearing those words looked up and laughed openly.

Electricity prices plunge as Greens hail cap and “beginning of the end of gas”
Yes rosie and Tim Blair picks up on another piece of fuckwittery related to your post:
“I will treat the Greens and Senate with respect as I will treat all members of parliament with respect,” Albanese told the Australian Financial Review.
“But we have a clear mandate,” Albanese continued, “and we put out very clear positions on issues like climate change, national integrity commission, childcare, aged care, women’s workplace safety, and I intend to implement exactly what we said we would.”
Well, guess what. Prime Minister Albanese and Labor have just done a deal with the Greens in order to get a bill through parliament.
And it’s a deal pointed squarely at you, if you happen to have gas heating and gas hot water or prefer to use a gas stove.
Labor’s energy package, including a cap on gas market prices, is now set to pass parliament after Labor agreed to Greens’ demands to develop a further package that will take aim at gas-fuelled household appliances.
“The Greens have secured a significant package that will help meet the costs (for) households and businesses to switch over from dirty and expensive gas,” Greens leader Adam Bandt gloated yesterday.
Bandt added that the Labor government would “work with the Greens in the development of those measures” in the months ahead of next year’s budget.
Which party is in charge here? Labor, with its claimed mandate, or the Greens – who’ve now got the government going after gas stoves?
As for that gas cap, Energy Minister Chris Bowen had this to say: “This is Australian gas. It is from Australian soil and Australians have a right to expect they will pay a fair price for that gas.
“Australian gas should be sold for reasonable and fair prices.
“While the cap is on, there will still be a market but we’re capping the prices.”
So it will only be a market up to a certain point – which really isn’t a market, and will likely be judged as such by investors.
Everything Labor is doing here ignores the main issue: energy supply. The Greens, evidently senior partners in this administration, should ask themselves one question about their electrification dreams.
Where is all that extra electricity going to come from?

I may have looked like a right royal dickhead, but I wore a mask in stores today to try and avoid spreading this crap. Flu A is a real nasty piece of work according to the Doc and it’s going all through the US like a pandemic with lots of folks in hospital.
Joining every single one too, you nasty little queen.
The entirety of the ASIO file on the Cat:
“Mostly harmless.”
It is definitely aimed at me; gas HW, gas ducted heating gas cook top.
My daughter is having to replace cook top at hers with an inducted, I don’t think they give you much of a choice these days.
Having performed her role in bringing an end to the Coalition government, today Brittaneeeeeee da Knickerless received her remuneration, a handsome sum I might add, courtesy of us mugs, the taxpayers of this country. All of this was signed off by one of the early instigators and collaborators in the Brittaneeeeee saga, a very mean bitch by the name of Senator Katy Gallagher. No conflict of interest there!
The stench is palpable, a miasma of Labor political malfeasance. If the Liberals can’t see this and if the Liberals won’t act on this, they deserve never ever to hold political office in this country again.
Now that Brittaneee has received her financial largesse, to match her physical largesse, perhaps someone could suggest that she go out and buy a few pairs of bloomers.

So have at it. Start punching your perceived Nazis. You wouldn’t make it past Lizzie you clown.
Yeah, St Ruth.
Enough.
Astoundingly beautiful singing and music. Well worth a listen.

Now I’m double definitely getting flu shot and covid booster before heading overseas.
I’m not harmless.
But I choose to use my Ecky Thoomp skills for good and not evil.

They offer choice but it’s not palatable. High gas prices for the consumer or make a switch to rationed electricity. Meat or bugs. Etc etc.
Poor fella my country.
He was so pretty when he was younger, time has been moderately unkind. Being a luvvie he would have to go for the Labor party so that part is not surprising.
Basically the position Albrechtsen took in Teh Paywallian. Ball squarely in the Lieboral’s court now. Where’s Spud?
Rowan Dean’s evening program canned. Blot has banned Latham, Jones has gone, now Dean. I don’t know if his Sunday program, Outsiders is still going to be on.
Sancho, just a tip, perhaps you could ease off on the bear baiting.
Reading “struth is a wanker” following by an undergraduate pun on random truck brand names isn’t doing much for the blog.
We’ve got the message. I’m certain Struth also has detected your general antipathy.
It is difficult to see you post consistently that level of drivel, and to believe you had a professional career.
Post updates on how much weight your weaners are gaining, or something.
“Rowan Dean’s evening program canned. Blot has banned Latham, Jones has gone, now Dean. I don’t know if his Sunday program, Outsiders is still going to be on.”
Outsiders is Sky’s most watched programme. They’d be mad to terminate Outsiders. If they get rid of Outsiders I’ll end my sub and I won’t be the only one.
We just installed a new hot water boiler.
Just in case ASIO is reading this it is totally electric.
Well mostly.
The fan and ignition is electric.
The burning bit which heats the water is a teensy, weensy bit … gassy.

Any number of contributors here could get a gig. Send off an audition tape, I’m sure Rita Panahi would love to take people here on for the show.

Another example of how the political class is at war with demos.
Gotta admit, I never thought I’d see a day when “Installed bog standard hot water system” as having to be a clandestine operation, on the bingo card for “subversive methods of resistance”.
Ball squarely in the Lieboral’s court now. Where’s Spud?
Having a larf.
Reynolds and Cash decided not to attend Mediation without free legal representation.
The Commonwealth saved a lot more than $3 million by doing that.
Kinchrome is OK.
Teng Tools is the go.
Does anyone know what has happened to ADH TV?
Oh how are the mighty fallen. Britain has turned into a shithole.
Sure, your both Labor Trolls, but do you think Albanese hasn’t got advice that Higgins had a strong case and Cash and Reynolds would be hopeless witnesses?
Albo protecting taxpayer money?

but do you think Albanese hasn’t got advice that Higgins had a strong case
Is crotchless piss taking?
Eddles, we know every bit of the case.
Thanks BBS, I had thought of a full parody, but got lazy.
but do you think Albanese hasn’t got advice that Higgins had a strong case and Cash and Reynolds would be hopeless witnesses?
So you think the way to go is to hand over taxpayer money? Since Brit herself wasn’t that good in the witness box it’s a low bar they’d both have to jump over to be really hopeless witnesses.
Worth noting that Mt Hotham yesterday recorded Victoria’s coldest ever summer minimum at -5.4C, and Glen Innes in NSW this morning recorded -1.7C which was its first ever subzero temperature during any summer.
Cobar MO this morning 8.0°C, the lowest December temperature in 67 years (airport AWS 6.9C coldest December min since opening in 1993) Narrabri this morning 5.6°C, the lowest December temperature in 60 years Tamworth this morning 4.6°C, the lowest December temperature in 65 years Burrinjuck Dam this morning 4.7°C, the lowest December reading in 50 years
All in line with Australia’s cooling climate over the past 11 years, Perth recording its 16th coldest ever November day, Melbourne also recording its 16th coldest ever November day as well as its 23rd coldest day which is the first year ever that two November days have fallen within Melbourne’s coldest ever 23.

Why are below average temps in a La Niña period in any way surprising.
Crikey!
Popped in for a quick look at the Cat, only to find a full on bar fight with broken chairs, shattered windows, blood and teeth flying, women screaming and sirens approaching in the distance.
Run away, run away!
So you think the way to go is to hand over taxpayer money?
You’re a pensioner, aren’t you, so it’s not your money.
Since Brit herself wasn’t that good in the witness box
11 Jurors bought her story, the other one sabotaged the Trial.
it’s a low bar they’d both have to jump over to be really hopeless witnesses.
Reynolds has already called Higgins a lying cow in front of witnesses.
Squeaked a groveling apology and paid $20 grand 5 minutes later.
But yeah, give her a Legal blank cheque to slander and vilify Higgins and the miserable old bitch will send the Country bankrupt.
Here’s the future with Free Legals for Reynolds and Cash:

11 Jurors bought her story, the other one sabotaged the Trial.
Your evidence for this assertion. Were you one of the eleven? If not, how do you claim to know this?
You’d have seen one or two such proceedings back in the day, though, Pedro?
That’s terrible. Duck out of a couple of hours and find the joint aflame.
Aflame, I say!
This calls for a Dark ‘N’ Stormy, followed by practicing my workplace lecture tomorrow on ‘er indoors. Again and again and again.
Apparently there was a bar fight Pedro.
It started from the ladies’ lounge where a portly gent with long socks, a brand new Akubra and man-boobs was wailing about the live music quality.
“context is irrelevant” said the judge
said the Devil … that’s right, it’s all light and shade
AJ was crook then Pawle took over. Their show podcasts were a bit slow in appearing on the app.
That’s all I know .
You’re a pensioner, aren’t you, so it’s not your money.
No, and yes it is.
Reynolds has already called Higgins a lying cow in front of witnesses.
Not the same as in the witness box
Unless the Westoz vernacular differs, that is an Americanism.
The correct ockerism would be: “a full on pub blue”
Never, Zulu.
Mining towns and camps are quiet havens of gentlemanly behaviour and the residents always have great consideration of their neighbour’s comfort and welfare.**

“11 Jurors bought her story, the other one sabotaged the Trial.”
Sure Dick Ed, sure. Ever thought that perhaps 11 jurors didn’t buy her story, and one sabotaged the trial?

The wet in a normal La Niña is well understood and expected but the cold being experienced is from the amplification of Antarctic weather systems.
These two factors aren’t necessarily linked and are more of a coincidence just like the negative Indian Ocean dipole phase that further enhances rainfall during this La Niña.
On how cold it’s been: so far, I’ve only managed four swims. Got one in today despite the strong easterly.
Crikey!

Pretty much. It’s over, Dover. Pity, really.
