In his early teens when I knew him he was not the run of the mill. He was a Legacy kid. An only child. His mum took him every Tues to the Odeon picture theatre at Rockdale where they got all the latest releases. He was an avid film fan. He would also go to the Victory at Kogarah for the Saturday matinee.
He was in the Boy’s Brigade at Kogarah Presbyterian church at Kogarah which required him to go to church on the first Sunday of each month.
He didn’t have money to go roller skating and mini golf down at Brighton-Le-Sands. Most of us did.

But they did so well the first time round…..
Eight hundred half starved and verminous convicts, and two hundred Royal Marines – the mighty warriors of the “First Nations” should have wiped them off the face of the earth, without needing to draw breath, surely?
Thise “mighty warriors had only to cover 50 yards of ground after the first volley to stick their spears into those 200 hundred Marines. Surely dead (sorry) easy?
And they had around 30 seconds to cover that distance.

On the streets around Chiesa del Carmine Maggiore ( it has a beautiful majolica dome, you can’t miss it) is a fresh food market.
I bought a roll with a hard cheese, dried tomatoes, fresh ricotta and a sprinkle of dried rosemary, €4 and delicious.
The locals were queuing up for bread rolls, sliced open, gutted, then filled with a mystery meat and served with a squeeze of lemon. I suspect tripe so not tempted, there was another similar place selling something in a roll which I could not recognise, might have been liver. You could also get freshly cooked calamari and other seafood, I’ve paid to visit the church and cloister but it’s a bit so so so not recommended.
I’m planning to visit the museum of majolica a short distance from here shortly it’s on the top 15 Palermo places to visit list.

Yes they did. 92.7% of all Soviet rail equipment including 1,911 locomotives and 11,225 railcars were supplied under the Lend Lease program. Not withstanding, the Soviets started with around 20,000 locomotives and 500,000 railcars.

Iirc in 1943, the Allies offered to land in France, but they would need to stop Lend Lease for a period in order to have the equipment to do so. Molotov said the SU would prefer Lend Lease to continue.

It’s an odd experience, driving through Zulu country.

Watching the tennis – Paul playing Djokovic.
Final score: 7-6, 6-1, 6-2 to the Djoker.
Forget for a moment that this song is about a girl; it’s close to how Djokovic’s been playing this week.
https://youtu.be/Oy_ArpznZUs
12 months is a long time in the career of a top class sportsman. Djokovic has said he’s playing with an extra purpose at this year’s AO.
Wherever Scummo is, Djoker is playing like Teddy Whitten, and “sticking it right up ’em.”
Going from memory here, the USSR made many thousands of tanks, but without the 400,000 tons of Canadian aluminium they couldn’t make them with engines. The famous T34 and KV1/2 were just immobile pill boxes.
The engine blocks were indeed aluminium, but in extremis they could have most probably built them in cast iron. Power to weight ratio would clearly have been worse, but it’s not as critical as in an an aircraft. eg. Chrysler multibanks used in Sherman’s had conventional cast iron blocks and a massive iron casting to hook them all together.

‘Alice Springs will not host the Australian Junior Motocross Championship due to “safety concerns”.
It was the first time Alice would have hosted the July event since 1967. Apparently Motorcycling Australia consulted with local peak bodies, who evidently told them the joint was a shitshow and unlikely to improve in the short or medium term.
The ‘safety concerns’ would have no doubt been for the kids and parents being anywhere near Alice, rather than dramas with the event itself.
I’m not a rider, but geez. Golf clap, you NT government clowns for letting this happen. Can the taxpayers have the $1.5 million back you already spent on the event?
Slow, repetitive golf clap.

No, not walk it back! No, that’s not what I meant!
I never said that!

Edward S. Miller’s book “War Plan Orange” is interesting reading on the subject of “War Plan Orange.”
It seems as early as 1935, the U.S.N. had decided that the Philippine Islands would almost certainly be overrun in the first stages of any Pacific War, but their relief was no longer first priority. The Chief of Staff of the Army of the United States made no objections – oh, what was his name again? Yes, of course, General Douglas MacArthur, how could I have forgotten!
Re previous days comments af also and charmers at the tennis, the most memorable picture I have in my mind was Paul Keating and Carmen Lawrence at a AFL game in Perf – may have been a Freo game.

then I deliver what they need rather than what they want.

What troubles me is not custard’s wrong prediction. It’s the slightly loony basis on which it was made and the fact that instead of going back to reality and recognising that he’s been had, he’s doubling down. I like him, and don’t want to see him getting progressively loopier.
My radar tells me that won’t happen.
I’ve spoken with Custard IRL, he’s not going to be broken by it not coming true.
Furthermore, the resident bear baiters chanting “nyah nyah nyah” at him over it isn’t going to worry him.
Anyways, the deadline ain’t yet arrived.
Do you understand the difference between being one of the world’s worst tyrants and being Russia’s worst military leader?
Putin is destroying the Ukraine (which he considers Russian) and permanently damaging Russia so he can compare himself to an Emperor.
The primary beneficiary of this mess is President Xi.
It’s proper bullcrap pal, I hope you snap out of it.
He’s got four days.
When they’re up and trump isn’t prez, what should he do? It’s not enough to shrug and say “I got it wrong.” He needs to look at the evidence and arguments he made to generate the prediction and work out which were flawed. It’s called learning from your mistakes. Failure to do this exacerbates your problems.

Who gives a flying shit if you’re troubled or not
Custard made an outlandish prediction, which is his right to speak freely. Free speech doesn’t mean it doesn’t encumber someone to take responsibility.
The only reason you’re saying that is because you made stupid comments too laced with dishonesty and don’t want to be contested. You moron.
