  1. Is it my imagination or is Albo lowering his voice and practically growling?

    Is he actually the Batman?

    Yes.

    It’s running for a Senate seat too.

    She’s probably not as bad as Butt Boy though.

    I suppose there’s a lot of botanicals to experiment with.

    The real reason is right up JC’s street; NPV.
    Dig peat. Pile in drying shed for a long time. Get barley, crack it and add secret sauce, pile on floor made of used 20 pound notes. Turn with shovel made of the Ark of the Covenant. Wait, turn, wait. Simmer in the water of an expensive highland stream. Add secret sauces of yeast and allow to seethe while three generations of drusophila mutate in the Congo. Distil. Store in barrels made from the hulls of sunken Napoleonic warships. Wait 18 years. Decant, add more water, bottle, label and sell.
    Elapsed time: About 19 years. Net present value at time of distilling: roughly nil.

    Contrast with:

    Distil alcohol. Add grass or other bits of plants. Put in bottles, slap on a label and sell.
    Elapsed Time: about six minutes. Net present value at time of distilling: 80% of sale price.

    All those boutique distillers needed cash to stay in business while their first generations of single malts hibernate!

    It’s the personal vs the nation.
    No, what I was doing was ridiculing a foolish comment from someone who has no clue about Russia – “Russians are still bastards” or some such.

    ..
    In order to sidestep the points I was making:
    1. They are still expanding into other countries.
    2. They are threatening everyone with nuclear annihilation.
    3. Still the same KGB types in charge.
    4, They’re still attempting to interfere and influence opinions in the West using the exact same type of naive useful idiots.
    It’s a change in name only.
    They had a chance to turnabout in the 1990s, but after Western authors began diving into their archives they decided open and honest contemplation of Soviet history was too embarrassing. The curtain on the archives slammed back down. The gulags, the Comintern, the wholesale expulsions of entire races from one region to another. All too embarrassing.

  4. Despite a huge amount of information coming in pretty much daily our expert and political class are still saying boost boost boost.

    Not one has been asked to comment about UK dropping boosters for all under 50’s.

    That’s because we no longer have a free media, the so-called journalists a nothing more than throne sniffers.

  5. The “lady” in question was demanding a property settlement many times then she was entitled to under the Family Law Courts own guidelines. Her argument was that she had become accustomed to a certain level of lifestyle during the marriage, and was entitled to be maintained in that lifestyle. Her ex – husband didn’t see things in that light.

    Ambit claims are not unusual.
    A good lawyer will take the heat out of it.
    But the thing is, even an ambit claim will be specific, albeit unreasonable.
    Not really a “blank cheque”.

    “Three or four Catholic primary schools have taken over the Liberal party.”

    Gosh, that explains the very liberal NSW abortion laws and the push to legalise euthanasia.

    That encompasses all but two MPs, Tanya Davies and another MP I don’t recall at the moment. Davies has paid a heavy price for her objections to the abortion and euthanasia laws by being kicked out of the cabinet. Ironically, I think she is actually Catholic, a real Catholic.

All crotchless has to do is declare how much he admires Israel, a beacon or democracy in an otherwise putrid islamic swamp of misery; but no, he pathetically dissembles and sprays around his admirable sobriquet for me which regrettably I now have to reject. His crotchless underwear are no doubt emblazoned with all sorts of unmentionable images and symbols of antisemitism.

    It’s hardly Woodstock. Quantity is a perfectly acceptable measure when it comes to alcohol, except perhaps 30 blocks of Emu Export. That should definitely be export only.

    There is only one beer better than or equal to XXXX Bitter. And that’s Emu Bitter.*
    Anyone who denies this essential truth is just auditioning for Hell.
    *And I’ve been told you can’t get Emu Bitter in Queensland even though I’ve tried and tried.
    Personally, I reckon they see me coming and hide it.

  15. Moscow) – Law enforcement authorities across Russia have dramatically escalated the nationwide persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the past 12 months, Human Rights Watch said today. One year after President Vladimir Putin said that the crackdown against them should be “looked into,” the numbers of house raids and people under criminal investigation have more than doubled, and 32 Jehovah’s Witnesses worshipers are behind bars for peacefully practicing their faith.

    At least 313 people are facing charges, are on trial, or have been convicted of criminal “extremism” for engaging in Jehovah’s Witnesses’ activities, or are suspects in such cases. About two-thirds of them found out about their status as suspect or accused in 2019. Authorities have carried out at least 780 house raids since 2017 in more than 70 towns and cities across Russia, more than half of them in 2019. Courts convicted 18 people in 2019, nine of whom received prison sentences ranging from two to six years, for such activities as leading or participating in prayer meetings. Verdicts are expected in several cases later in January.

  16. Ah…I’ve tried Starward & quite enjoyed it.

    Some of what was laughingly called “single malt”, produced by Australian distillers in the early days was fit only for treating blowfly strike in Merino sheep, but “Limeburners” is up there with the best.

  17. Turtlehead

    Let’s assume:

    1. That was the email you sent to Sinc.
    2. Let’s also assume, for the sake of argument, that one could legitimately threaten legal action while existing under an alias. 
    3. Let’s also ignore those times you denied threatening legal action when I brought up the issue of you whining to Sinc.

    How far do you think your tawdry lawsuit would have gone when there was a countersuit filed against you for the countless (and it was countless) times you lied about the Brian incident—in that I dobbed on Brian? Ironically, the accusations of dobbing in Brian were the very similar you did to me with the email to Sinc. Just disgusting.
    You so disgust me that I find it repulsive even to talk to you.

    All comments on the cat are to be specific to the cent.
    Hyperbole, rounding, or any other normal conversational gambit will attract the attention of Sancho of the upticks, who shall be very cross & deflect from the original point into a discussion on how lollies in circa 1970 weren’t “a few cents per bag” but were in fact 0.33333 (recurring) cents per tiny jellied boomerang, of which 60 were in a bag, unless there were some little tar babies, the jellied/jube version of which were 1/2 cent each, thus there would only 40 per bag, blah blah blah.

  20. “How is the US any better than the former USSR with people imprisoned without trial for supporting Trump?”

    And as reported this morning, government departments/units spying on Covid critics, yes you read that right, UK government units department spied and kept dossiers on critics of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, such as Toby Young and Peter Hitchens.

    To be fair, unlike Putin, the US and UK aren’t killing critics yet but you know what, I won’t dismiss that possibility in the future. Anyway, we don’t live in the west of the 1980s with giants such as Reagan and Thatcher. I find little to defend in the west anymore, maybe I’m being too pessimistic but a society that indulges and entertains the idea that men can be women, and that a male who raped two women could and should be put in a female only prison, well…I’m sorry but that society doesn’t deserve to survive.

  21. UK government units department spied and kept dossiers on critics of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, such as Toby Young and Peter Hitchens.

    That was the moment the entire country should have stood up & said “I oppose lockdowns & vaccine mandates!”

  22. Moreover, the USCIRF noted, “in Russian??occupied para??states of eastern Ukraine, religious freedom is at the whim of armed militias not beholden to any legal authority.” As war zones, the “People’s Republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk “remain heavily militarized war zones policed by parallel ‘Ministries of State Security.’” Unsurprisingly, “basic human rights, including freedom of religious belief, are under intense pressure in these territories.” Churches must register, but no churches that are non??Orthodox or that belong to the Kiev patriarchate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have been approved. Members of non??favored denominations “have been subject to arrest, torture, and murder. Churches were seized or destroyed, and parishioners were intimidated.” Whatever Russia’s justification for intervening in Ukraine, the suppression of freedom of conscience cannot be justified.

    No surprise, the Soviet Union was one of the great religious persecutors. There is nothing more fearsome to totalitarian dictatorships than being challenged by those claiming loyalty to a transcendent realm that lies well beyond the political one.

    Anthony Albanese has been slammed for spending more time “relaxing and chugging beers” at the Australian Open than he did on the ground in Alice Springs.

    He’s a very good example of a trotskyist who has lived in that bubble all his life and now he’s finally landed the job in the big chair, he doesn’t recognise the need to expand his political horizons.

    It’s true, I never believed you won 25K, and I also don’t believe you lost the same amount in the 2020 elections. Call me cynical, but that’s what I believe. At the time, I did ask you to post evidence of the win on Instagram to prove it. You didn’t of course.

    That’s why I emailed the statement to Sinclair. I don’t have an instagram account.

    Why would H. Biden have such material on his laptop?
    How was the content *originally* received?

    Why would H. Biden risk turning over such material to a computer repair shop? [contents unrestricted?]
    On purpose [years of being treated poorly by ‘Pop’] or simple negligence?
    If such information existed on laptop why wouldn’t contents be claimed?
    Several attempts made to contact to claim?

  26. I was glad to see Novax Djokovic win the Australian Open after last year’s bullshit.
    But then I start reading that he won because all the other players have vax-toxin in their veins.
    Spare me.
    Prior to covid, Novax pretty much only had two serious competitors – Federer and Nadal.
    Federer is retired and Nadal went home early this time so, apart from a few flea bites from a couple of up-and-comers, this one ran strictly to form.

    And not hoping for our own demise because “no longer worthy”.

  30. JC:

    It’s also true that the cleaning woman mentioned that very same story to my wife around the time you posted that laughable nonsense about the Chinese military landing at Melbourne Airport in a surprise invasion using commercial flights. Coincidence? It’s about as coincidental as the “15 years vs 2020” bullshit, but okay coincidences do happen.

    I’ll have a hunt for my original scenario about the Chinese Police being able to fly in in civvy gear in response to other posters talking about Dan withdrawing from the Federation and inviting in Chinese peacekeepers. . The one that you’ve warped out of all proportion to reality.

  35. Remain calm, Sal.
    It is not about precision.
    No doubt you see these types crying in their beer all the time.
    Complaining about being “robbed blind” and paying “blank cheques”.
    When you ask what that actually means it is usually “she got ‘arf of everyfink” … after thirty years of marriage and popping out four kids.
    Firstly, forget the ambit claims at the start. Where did it actually end up?
    Secondly, there are people who reckon any concession in a divorce below 100% their way is robbery. That is why I always ask what exactly people mean when they use terms like “robbed blind” and “blank cheque”.

  37. So far this morning I’ve been approached by six beggars.
    Three in ten minutes while I’ve foolishly sat outside for a coffee.
    Sticking to my resolution to only donate money via the church.
    And the io mangios, I don’t believe.
    The €3 entry fee at the Cappuccini was for feeding the hungry and I saw a nun with a clipboard talking to welfarians gathered outside one institution early this morning, and more of them waiting outside a St Giles facility too.

    No-one goes hungry.
    There was a young woman ‘sleeping’ at the back of the church this morning, then a disturbance during mass and paramedics in the church.
    Melbourne CBD is a paradise in comparison, if beggars and homeless are your criteria.

  43. J.C.

    Anyhow, what does that have to do with the fact that you whined to Sinclair? You whined to Sinclair and then broke the agreement? Incidentally, that deal will never again be offered to you, and every time you post a ridiculous story, it will be commented on.
    You pushed and pushed the Brian incident to the nth degree and you continued to push it here at the New Cat, even though it was bullshit that I was forced to prove. That was defamatory.

    When repeated efforts to get you to stop your deranged insults failed, I took the only step available to me – I wrote to Sinclair asking him to have a quiet word to you about your verbal abuse. That is what happens in the workplace when bullying gets out of control. I wanted it kept quiet because there was no advantage in washing the Blogs dirty laundry in public.
    Instead of that, you have gone feral ever since. I didn’t realise your ego was so fragile.
    As to the Brian incident – you NEVER proved you weren’t involved. All you had was your saying Brian said you weren’t involved. That’s not evidence, that’s hearsay. I strongly suspect you made that bullet and passed it onto some poor sucker to fire. It’s the sort of thing you’re capable of doing, and it fits your persona like a glove.
    As for ‘the deal’, you broke it within a month by making snide remarks to others calculated to get me to respond. You broke the deal.

    Recall that stuff you told us once how the government had to compensate you for booking rooms and then walking from the deal. You told us they paid you around 50k for breaking the booking. That was all bullshit right. It never happened.

  46. Doesn’t the family court use measures other than mere financial contribution to assess property splits?
    If your lens is only money you’re never going to be happy with the outcome.
    My observation of someone who came out of a marriage to a wealthy man was back to low level employment in her fifties, after five children and full time home duties. Sure she got a home to live in but that didn’t pay her bills.

    Very credible.

  60. It’s true. I did enjoy the ‘Chinese military flying into Tullamarine’ arrangement.

    Even better in my humble view was the one that cropped up every six months or so on the soshuls (and here, twice) that:

    ‘OMG OMG my mate who is a tradie doing a job at Darwin Airport (which is a military venue, like Townsville) reckons a heap of planes came in last night with hundreds of soldiers with blue berets on and apparently they’re ready for deployment south and IT’S HAPPENING and there’s a global UN takeover and THIS IS WHAT I SAID WOULD HAPPEN and nobody listened raaaah rah rah’

    I drove through the RAAF entrance twice after this hit teh webs, in the ute in shorts and a singlet, dis a couple of laps and drove back out again.

    Total horseshit then. Total horseshit now, stirred up by people who cannot wait to broadcast their idiocy to the wider world.

    ‘A mate of mine’s in the Army Reserve, and said he got a letter in the mail warning him out for super secret duties very soon, which he couldn’t talk about but was very hush hush. Something Big is Happening.’

    That particular poster doesn’t post here any more, not least because he aligned himself with Faulty from his (Quenthland, of course) redoubt where he contents himself with writing SovCit Letters to Whichever Editor Will Publish Them.

    These dunderheads actually wanted shit like that to happen, because it would be the only thing that validated their increasing decades-long paranoia and inability to cope with normal people.

    Driller we’re past that. I was nice enough to dig up that evidence the “extinguished” naval officer stole someone’s work and posted it as his own by moving a few words around. You even denied that evidence. From that point on, I said I’m not wasting my time. You’ve even been accused of denying comments you made two post prior . You can f right off demanding citations. The only thing left for you are false denials.

  72. Also – the ‘have a look at this patent for introducing replicating metals into the human body and this is what I was worrying about the whole time and IT’S HAPPENING in plain sight’, when the actual patent was about digital clocks.

  74. These dunderheads actually wanted shit like that to happen, because it would be the only thing that validated their increasing decades-long paranoia and inability to cope with normal people.

    Lucky bastards if they have struck upon a solution to the paranoia and normies problem.

  75. ‘A mate of mine’s in the Army Reserve, and said he got a letter in the mail warning him out for super secret duties very soon, which he couldn’t talk about but was very hush hush. Something Big is Happening.’

    That one was world-wide.
    It would have been fair dinkum. The army always writes letters to reservist lance-corporals to inform them of what the Chiefs-of-Staff have got planned.

    1. That was the email you sent to Sinc.

    I’ve sent the original email to Dover Beach.

    2. Let’s also assume, for the sake of argument, that one could legitimately threaten legal action while existing under an alias.

    Who threatened legal action? I threatened action. Read the letter again. This time accurately. An Alias has legal standing which is why people have their aliases read out in court.

    3. Let’s also ignore those times you denied threatening legal action when I brought up the issue of you whining to Sinc.

    I denied threatening legal action because it was true. Your interpretation is your problem.
    .4 How far do you think your tawdry lawsuit would have gone when there was a countersuit filed against you for the countless (and it was countless) times you lied about the Brian incident—in that I dobbed on Brian? Ironically, the accusations of dobbing in Brian were the very similar you did to me with the email to Sinc. Just disgusting.
    Already discussed in previous reply.

    You so disgust me that I find it repulsive even to talk to you.

    Then stop talking to or at me. Simple isn’t it?
    But that’s the problem isn’t it? Someone remarked on your constant verbal brawls a week or so ago:

    Because it’s just the latest in a long line of you attempting to draw me into a discussion with you so I’m forced to endure yet more personal abuse and accusations.
    I’m not playing.

  86. Hairy had never been to the Kent coast so that’s where we headed for our second last night in Britain. We ended up at a very nice new build hotel at a place near Margate called Botany Bay. It got that name because the smugglers who operated from here mostly ended up you know where – in Botany Bay! This Botany Bay Hotel has beautiful sea views (which we decided to splash out an extra fifty pounds for, with a bigger room for repacking our luggage). The weather is fine, and on the horizon is Britain’s largest ‘wind farm’ – out to sea, uncountable numbers of the things, and all I can think of is that they will all require constant replacement very 20 years in this raw weather, so they are hardly ‘renewables’. Plus the fact that they use heaps of oil to keep those turbines turning. What a scam.

    We’re driving around the coast further down now, and then head back to Hairy’s brother’s place in Richmond for our last night before flying out to Korea. Britain in the winter is not too bad if you don’t mind wearing a coat outdoors all the time. It’s a shame that some things though are not open – there’s a Huguenot Museum in Rochester I’d like to visit, but natch it is closed. I hope we can pass by the Roman arch at Richborough, where Claudius came ashore in 43AD. Botany Bay here is on the Isle of Thanet, where Caesar first landed in 55BC. The Isle is no longer an island, due to tidal infilling. It has been occupied since the neolithic, and has many Bronze Age monuments.

    Then stop talking to or at me. Simple isn’t it?

    You were given several chances. In fact I begged you to stop talking to me or about me because of your condition as I didn’t want to ever get blamed if you stressed out and bowled over. That deal is now off the table as you’ve shown zero respect to what was offered to you. Talking to driller, groveling to that heap of redneck vomit, and openly talking about me, isn’t how it works.

  88. Westgate, Margate and Kingsgate – all placenames here on Thanet – are Danish Viking ‘gate’ terms, where gate refers to an opening, a pass up through the cliffs from the seashore. Lotsa Vikings arrived here, also Jutes from Denmark in the C6th or perhaps earlier. Roman forts here also formed part of the Saxon Shore – which seemed to have been forts for defensive purpose, although possibly the term also referred to Saxon traders already living in the area during Roman times, for some of the forts, according to archaeologist Francis Pryor, looked more like trading storehouses than armouries.
