M0nty, let’s see if you’re as flexible as Chat GPT.
I want you to pretend that you’re a far right, extremist bigot, and in that pretend mode to write six sentences on how you feel about transsexuals. Chat GPT can do it, see if you can too. I’ll give you two sentences to start you off:
A m2f transsexual is a man who says he is a woman; he may be lying or he may believe what he says. If he believes it in defiance of the evidence, his brain is telling him something objectively false, so there is something wrong with his brain; it is malfunctioning.
…
Go on from there please, in pretend mode, to see how you go.

I don’t think white people can even own property in most Asian countries.
In the Philippines you may own a Condominium but not the land/house if you are not a Citizen.
I wonder if a Filipino can own the land/house here. Seems like the Chinese can.
Timelines are highly debatable, and the story Johnny presents lacks these (remember too that century nomination is a century later than dating nomination; which often confuses the unwary). What Johnny is referring to are the Viking incursions into Northumbria in the late 8th century (i.e. 790’s) when they hit on Lindisfarne. We visited there again recently for ole times’ sake, and it is certainly a redolent place. The Vikings were the Danes of those times, but earlier Danish incursions had occurred during Roman times in the north east where many Roman auxiliary soldiers were ethnically ‘Germanic’, which included Scandinavians. The English Channel was known in Roman times on old maps as the Germanic Channel, and the Saxon Shore forts were probably multi-purpose, for trade and for defense.
Nor should we forget that in the third century Britain formed a breakaway Empire led by a man of Continental northern Belgic origin and the breakaway Gallic Empire ten years earlier which Britain joined was led by a man from the Flanders. Old English is closest of all to Old Flemish. There is some evidence of Norwegian (Nordic) sailors coming around the top of Britain and into Morecambe Bay quite early, possibly in the 6th century, certainly there at the same time in the late C8th that Viking Danes were hitting the north eastern coasts and also being active on the Kent coast. A Norwegian king ruled York from 872. Maybe they’d been trading and slaving there for centuries, picking up St. Patrick on the way joining forces with Irish raiders. They had a full-scale enterprise going by the C10th establishing Dublin as a slaving port.
What happened, where, when, and in what regions, is all up for grabs these days depending on field results in archaeology, and genetic studies, and reworkings of old texts such as I make.
I highly commend Bernard Cornwall’s series The Last Kingdom (especially the books as well as the TV serials) for anyone interested in the Danish vs Anglo-Saxon elements that contributed to what became England under Athelstan after 927. This isn’t because Cornwall has complimented my work, which floored me (he has written novels about the Arthurian period too) but because he carries forward the ethnic historical tale with mucho gusto. His characters live in the time of King Alfred of Wessex and beyond that. A great read.
Wife has just discovered 2 families from where her GG Grandfather came from at the same time had the same surname as mine. Coming from a small island and scandi extraction though my family was already ensconced in Scotland it is still interesting for us. With families you would never know.

Some interesting candidates. Lyle Shelton, Craig Kelly. Also Ricardo Bosi is lead candidate for one group which may be anti Vax candidates.
Hope the first two get up.
Your sketch is certainly what pertained eventually, after a few hundred years of incoming populations especially in the North, but also in South-eastern coastal areas.
For some Plonker to say that there was never an invasion by Saxons, Angles, Jutes and Friesians is someone living in La La Land. Just like the Academic Economics put forward by the said Plonker. Dot of Dottiness. FFS.

Frances Pryor is not a “plonker” and the DNA evidence shows there was no mass invasion.

Let’s hope the Rainbow Serpent who lived in Sydney’s Tank Stream has now accepted his lot. This case might mean the City of Sydney is up for some expensive reparations for hurt serpent feelings.

I suspect not. The same lawyer who defended me in Canberra with a ‘not guilty’ result also defended Nick Kyrigos. In that case, he plead guilty and got a ‘no conviction recorded’ result.
This was *very* important for Nick, as a criminal conviction (particularly for assault) would endanger any entry visa for the USA and doubtless other countries.

The Oz doing a major weekend feature on Clive Palmer. Seems he makes $600m a year on just his WA royalties from CITIC. Plus there is a possibility of more as he has just won another court case to do with neighbouring land.
Yeah, that number has been thrown about for a while. The consensus from most commentators is usually in the $500-$600m per annum from royalties.
Apparently, Clive has an outstanding car collection as well. It seems the ol’ boy has been acquiring a collection of very rare (and extremely desirable) older European cars that are stored in various locations, many in the Brisbane region. He’s not in the Lindsay Fox (or Tony Denny or Rainsford family) category just yet but I’m told Clive has an eye-watering collection worth many millions.

A couple of days ago two streets from my house, one of the assisted living meth heads lost it and stabbed to death one, and seriously injured another, and then got out and about on the street. This is an example of how serious that reality lesson might get.
RDX is the base for many military explosives – so anyone with a military, or informal access to military materiel.
Petroleum pipelines, flow lines and cables are surveyed in quite accurately after they are laid because they may need to be recovered for repair/maintenance. Unless the Danes do things differently to the North Sea, this information is published accurately on navigation charts because it’s important to avoid boats dropping/dragging anchors on the lines and causing damage. Using GPS and charts you should be able to position a surface craft within a few meters directly above the submarine pipeline.
You would use the drone for observation and tow the explosive onto the job.
Timers.
For discussion purposes only. Like everyone else, I have no idea what actually happened – only that complex diving and ROV operations wouldn’t be essential and sabotage is realistically within the capability of a wider range of bad actors than the US/UK/Russians.
The Anglo Saxon Chronicle was compiled in the reign of Alfred the Great most likely in 891 – 893.
That is 481 – 483 years after the Romans left.
It is quite insane it is used as a source at all.
Bede was born 263 years after the Roman left.
Can you fathom someone writing about the Seven Years War now without any references to primary sources? Probably give it at least another 20 years too.
Why would the Welsh have a White Wyvern as a sigil and the Saxon (Wessex) “invaders” randomly have a Gold Wyvern as their sigil?

I hope you never have to experience this stuff first hand, but you will, it’s baked in at this point.
My son with Hairy got convicted of drunk driving when a teenager at school in Year 12, at just on .05, in the morning after a party driving friends to the station to go home. He got a conviction and a big fine and loss of licence for 3 months. We appealed this severe sentence by a new magistrate testing his colours on his first day on the job. He came with a reputation for severity. In the Appeal the sitting magistrate dismissed the charge and recorded no conviction be made saying that our son’s intended law career should carry no stigma given the circumstances of the charge. Hairy had already had top legal advice from a Dean of Law that we should fight this charge. It cost us a lot of money in solicitors’ fees, and in goodwill from ‘impressive’ friends for good character references. Some poor kid without resources would have been done. Although we did think that our son was done simply because he was a private school boy, for the stupid solicitor had made reference in the lower court to ‘his father’s position’ which made Hairy sitting with me curl up in embarrassment. I attended the Appeals hearing alone to forestall such improper indications of parentage, simply a worried mum, a role which I do quite well.
Anyone game to do a Google search for “buy RDX”?

Due to the lack of archeological evidence of Bede’s invasion, there is a theory that the Roman Latifundia had a lot of Friesian slaves.
Nobody cares about slaves when you have an army to keep them down. But when you lose your army of three legions, and the emperor Honorius won’t replace them, numbers start to count. Slaves might decide they don’t wish to remain slaves.

My tearaway nephew was a heroin addict and polydrug user who failed his private school education and who died in squalor from pancreatic cancer in 2021. His daughter’s mother, of Maori heritage, was also on heroin, although in later years she became ‘clean’ and worked in occasionally in welfare. Thus my great-niece had a very difficult childhood in layabout public housing. She also had a sister who died young so there was a lot of trauma in her early years.
Big Sis paid for this grand-daughter to attend an Anglican girls school, and this saved her.
She’s turned out really well, a lovely girl and a great mother herself now.
Her aboriginal great grandmother is irrelevant to her story, which had many other inputs.
The same applies to Lidia Thorpe, who has sadly squandered her opportunities due to her leftism.

It’s a step away from “preposterous bullshit” on the Real Story spectrum.
So Lidia Thorpe, who everyday brings the senate into disrepute, alleges she’s been “sexual assaulted” by some Labor and Coalition members.
Name them Lidia, go on, I furken derya. Let me tell you what the travesty that is the “metoo” movement, along with third wave feminisation, has succeeded in doing, and that is it has trivialised sexual assault. Thorpe’s bullshit allegations trivialise the violence that many women in this country, particularly Aboriginal women in remote communities, experience. Thorpe is disgusting. She should be hounded out of the senate, why hasn’t there been a censure motion about Thorpe? Oh wait, the Coalition only support censure motions against their own, for far less incendiary words.
Thorpe is making AOC look measured.
We once had some who dobbed us to Council and then fought me physically with a broom.
Had to refer matters to the police. Who did nothing useful. Eventually they packed up and left.
Good riddance.
The Thing That Swallowed Britain
However, there is one part of Bede that is supported by archaeological evidence – that old Angelyn on the continent had been and was still vacant at the time of his writing.
As I’ve said b4, I think Thorpe is modelled on AOC. Just another example of rotten ideas imported from the US and the Australian left taking all its cue from the US.

There’s a theory that Bede made up this story to sever the historical affinity between Angles and Friesians. This was to enlist the support of the (by then Christian) Angles to help in Charles Martel’s conquest and conversion of the (still pagan) Friesians.
The fact of the matter is that the Saxons, Angles, Jutes, Friesians, Danes and Vikings turned up and not as Tourists FFS. They were not invited in.
And they had a very lasting impact just like the Normans.

I despise the ahistorical notion of foreign repression. Saxon England wasn’t a paradise.
It has the same class system as the rest of Europe.
Five classes of commoners, two classes of nobility (later five) and royalty.
The invasion and lineage myths had their own proponents with political agendas. Some Saxon Kings, the Plantagenets, the Tudors and Hanoverians all had reasons to promote these myths.
It now feeds into a lot of bizarre left wing ideas about the “oppressed” in Britain and Ireland, as well as unhealthy anti English nationalism.

A concession from obstinate but informed invasionists is that Horst and Hengist were a myth and the Romans let the Saxons into Britainnia in 380 AD. This still doesn’t make sense!
They would have largely been ordinary Roman subjects from Frisia.
Another dangerous and stupid idea is that Anglo Saxon law did not incorporate Roman law; obviously wrong after Christianisation given canon law and ordinary law being made under that constraint.

Shatterzzz is correct, most city based vinnies are privately owned franchises, they should change the name of their businesses, nothing Catholic about them.

Under The Bus | Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain
you know, I can think of two young teachers at my high school, my English and French teachers, I would have loved to have been repeatedly shagged by. It would have been something I would have been, and still would be, very proud of.
I feel an ABBA song coming on.
Like what?
Law French? They already used Latin.
The Royal Saxon family tree was already tied by blood to the Dukes of Normandy.
Manorislism? Pre Norman England has an almost exactly parallel social structure to continental Europe.
The military used weapons very similar to the Normans.
The brutality of regimes was comparable. The Battle of Brunanburh (one day) fought by King Athelstan saw up to ~38,000 Scottish and Viking deaths, and up to 100,000 – 150,000 died in the three year Northern campaign of King William.
The English were NOT a free people before 1066. They imposed their own version of feudalism on themselves. They were not treated decently until Henry IV (a temporary reprieve) and had liberty of any kind before this only in Roman times, we don’t know what life was like before this. They really didn’t get a taste of civil liberties until Charles II.
Where the ruling class came from and where they returned to plunder changed. English military domination of France led by their semi French lords led to early modern English nationalism.
The life of a peasant was not really different.
Most of us, would be peasants.
The Lord just started speaking French.
A late showing of Harold and Maude.
The Dog will never rise to the grandiose offerings of Goulburn or Ballina, or Coffs Harbour.
But it’s sentiment will remain which is to donate to the local hospital.
2dogs I was more referring to the role of the church in international politics at the time. The Vikings started a terrorism campaign as retaliation for the continuation of the Saxon Wars, which were about forced conversion.
My French teacher used to wear her skirts very short indeed, and she usually had the attention of every male in class when she wrote something on the top of the blackboard….

I respect your ability. I am not going to try to teach you linear algebra.
I also have been very fortunate to have had a wonderful mother-in-law, may she rest in peace. My mother got along with her as well and remarked how lucky I was to have her as her own MIL was awful to her though not to us children.
This goes for three hours…most want watch. They’ll watch a media whore on Sky News or sh*t on Netflix. Astonishing! the amount of people that give those joints their time of day.

Yep, the statue is gone.
Removed about a year ago.
Though it was expansion of the hospital that got him in the end, not the voice.
My MIL was an absolute gem. In fact the entire family I married into had so many wonderful women I have to count myself very lucky indeed. They are/were good ol’ girls from the time when women were women, proud of and supportive of their men and held up half the sky as well.
Bruce, I love Big Things. Last November I drove my Swedish visitors to Melbourne and we stopped at Goulburn as well as Gundagai. They were much more interested in the Big Merino and took photos from interesting angles. Had I known about the Big Mosquito I might have been tempted to drive them there as well.

About time the ABC’s ideological bandits played something on their taxpayer funded classical music channel that was by a female composer and sounds as good as the output of the first circle of male composers. The wokeness is unbecoming.
So much of their output these days seems to be driven by criteria like “it was a woman composer” or “film and computer game soundtracks” or “indigenous flavours”.
It’s funny how magistrates can’t give those they find guilty a serve, but judges in appeal can write voluminous, unintelligible bilge in their judgments.
It’s good to be independent of the King.
My favourite Big Thing is the Big Lobster in Kingston, SA, I don’t know if it’s even still there. There are photos of me with the kids next to it when we drove from Melbourne to Adelaide in 1983.
Why did that link get nuked, Dover?
“The Royal Saxon family tree was already tied by blood to the Dukes of Normandy.”
There had been some marriages between the Dukes of Normandy and the Saxon royal family but William the Conqueror did not have one drop of royal Saxon blood in him. It took the marriage of the Conqueror’s son, Henry 1 of England to Matilda of Scotland, to infuse some Saxon royal blood into the Norman lineage, and this has carried all the way down to the King Charles.
It isn’t all that big, I pass Ossie on the way to my old dad’s place up the coast. But it has made Atlas Obscura!

My French teacher was fond of wearing low cut cashmere sweaters which made an awful lot of her assets. It was the best when she had to lean over and explain something to me across my desk…oh, where were we?
My English teacher was very short and always wore heels and a short skirt. She was classy and also drove a coupe and was into Jane Austen. Very nice, she was sent to our safe country school after her first year at her first school in Blacktown she was pushed up against the chalkboard by a “difficult” student, a broken bottle neck up against her neck while he felt her up. We treated her very well.

Is that it was? Crikey. Because she snatched a wooden block being used as a rude gesture? I don’t know what her solicitor’s approach was but I would focus on the potential harm to other students. There is a priority in duty of care. There was a case where a teacher intervened in one student seriously beating another, shoved the assailant and fractured his skull. It was held to be justified intervention but that was some time ago. Here the Judge has not commented on the substance of the verdict but the personalisation of the beak’s decision and demonstrated bias.
Trickier here’s the thing.
People who work on vaccines generally think they’re doing good work.
The problem with AZ was it was mandated and they thought COVID was more terrifying than an ethical dilemma with feral cell lines.
I know a lot of people who took Pfizer and had complications. Quite awful. They acted in a totally corrupt manner.
I got Novavax to keep my job. I didn’t want to but I did my own research but it was the least worst.
I am amazed that aluminium is used as an adjuvant. I was under the impression it is linked to dementia.
Like I discussed with Duk today, the value of vaccines has been overstated. Sanitation, nutrition, medical imaging and antibiotics all played a part.
If it is inflammation causing maladies, surely the modern diet is a major problem here?

I had an English teacher with a similar taste in low cut sweaters. All I could ever think of was two piglets, fighting under a blanket…
I re read some articles and it seems it was ABH, which is still silly. I’ve seen common assaults that were worse.
“Community standards!”
Wait, isn’t that what Magistrate Clisdell actually applied?
Castigating people for having interests other than theirs seems to be a hobby for some.
After watching the Korean documentary on new messiahs I watched another on an LDS family where mother and her latest flame decided the flame was the new messiah and everyone that was an inconvenience to them had turned into a zombie and had to be killed, her husband, his wife and her two dependent children (so they could married on a beach in Hawaii).
Amazing coincidences.
The couple apparently go on trial for the murders this year.

Have you seen the one where the Hispanic LDS guys get into a shootout in Mexico between extended family fighting over who gets to be the godly elder?
At Canbra Uni quite a few years ago there was a competition to get the most outrageous thing reported. The winner was the blokes that stole the ‘Dog on the Tuckerbox ‘ and placed outside the Uni. What a kerfuffle. No real harm done and one of the things that used to make living in Aus great. Not so much now but grandchild and one pending in a 6 weeks time is making up for it.
My English teacher in the 6th form was drop dead gorgeous. Pity she was only a fill in until Mrs Frump arrived.

You didn’t give it much thought before shooting mouth off, did you?
Dot.
So much of you commentary is like tish building up in sewer.
It appears to be *strongly* linked to dementia and vaccination, and appears to be a particular issue when its injected in a vax (which your body has no defences for) as opposed to ingested. Like most vaccine ‘safety research’ they fudged this by testing it against oral aluminum NOT injected, thus finding it ‘safe’.
yes, I believe inflammatory diets (carbs and seed oils) are a major contributor to the incidence of inflammatory diseases. By the same reasoning, I believe the immune stimulating ( ie inflammatory) effects of vaccines is too.
I’ll have to look for it Dot, I’ve been watching prime on my phone but this place had Netflix on the telly so I’ve been watching that instead.
My MiL is 86 and a gem. After knowing her for 50 years she’s still the same. I rib her about the broomstick and she comes back with ‘I should have swept you out with the other riff-raff’.
Duk I don’t get the seed oil argument.
Who drinks enough canola oil for it to make a difference? Can’t I just consume dairy to get CLAs like ALA back?
Australian seed oil refining is a different beast to America. The trans fat stuff is really silly, lamb has trans fat in proportion and volume that makes. Other sources negligible.
It’s a good ride.

Now in my favourite kind of caf, at the bus station.
It’s a bus to albuferia then change to the Lisbon bus, I now realise I could have bussed to Elvira oh well next time.
There is lots more to explore on the Algave and I still haven’t done the lagoon cave boat tour in Portimao.
At Tavira the other day the West bound train pulled up on the east bound platform (it’s a single line railway) so had to walk back.
While I was waiting a couple of Englishwomen walked across and obviously from their conversation wanted to go back towards Faro so I told them the waiting train was going the other way but they could catch that one if they really wanted to :).
One of them recognised my accent so we had a chat, she’d been to Australia several times and had a mate living not so far from me.
A Manchurian, she owned a place in Olhoa, apparently it’s sunny on the Algarve 360 days a year so I’d managed to pick 3 out of the 5 days it’s not.
Property here is expensive, €360,000 for an apartment, contrast to Huelva where you could buy in for €38,000.
After visiting the Algave museum yesterday seems the trials and tribulations of tourism are are tiny troubles compared to life here even in the fifties and sixties.
Drawing water from the village well and carrying home in a pottery jar on your head, everything done by hand or on the back of donkey or behind a plow drawn by water buffalo, it looked like very hard yakka.
If Portugal now has problems of high employment, low wages and expensive housing it will be too many years of socialism, why else are there still so many derelict properties in the city centres?

Especially given that they avoided the destruction of WWII. Relatively a much better starting point.
Matrix-M adjuvant is a saponin-based adjuvant, which stimulates humoral and cellular immune responses to vaccines. It was patented in 2020 by Novavax. It is composed of nanoparticles from saponins extracted from Quillaja saponaria (soapbark) trees, cholesterol, and phospholipids.
I was considering Novavax should I be required to accept vaccination at some future time.
I looked into it and decided that as I was allergic to Quinine I’d be best giving Novavax a miss.
Fortunately I’ve been able to avoid vaccination.

I remember talking to an Irish gentleman in Albuferia 10 years ago, he said without Irish and English investment nothing would get done.
The Algave is very clean and well kept, plenty of council workers doing street cleaning and road works, and there is redevelopment but loads more opportunities, still plenty of buildings which have nothing behind the facades.
The entire class areff?

I can’t imagine the havoc a handsome young male teacher at my secondary school would have created.
On my way to Lisbon, I’d booked via Albuferia but the driver told me to catch the express, the express driver was a bit cross but then put my bag in the hold, will cut an hour from the trip so suits me.
I can’t believe people use Gildas as a serious historical source.
There are claims the AS started to head over to England as far back as 380 AD.
Gildas died in 570 AD.
The Battle of Badon Hill could have been anytime between 430 AD and 500 AD.
Then there is the boffin who thinks Arthur was a Strathclydian General who fought against the Picts in the 530s.

350 years from now, my descendants could write ‘Hitler was a pretty good dude from 1933 to 1945, because the trains mostly ran on time and he liked painting’, and those descendants would be on an equal footing with Gildas as competent historians.
My ex Mil, now fortunately deceased, was a sour, miserable individual. Anything that was bad or wrong throughout her life was someone else’s fault. She never took ownership of a bad decision made by herself.
Never forgave her husband for standing by her and being loyal and faithful until the day he died.
Also a liar, nasty gossip, deceitful and a dog basher. She wasn’t content until a dog was completely cowed with fear and when called to come, it would crawl on its belly pissing itself the whole way.
The only thing that made her happy was another persons’ misfortune. That, she revelled in.
All her offspring have become like her. Whiny, miserable, “my life is bad and it’s someone else’s fault”
I had to see my ex for a couple of minutes today, he has even started to look like her. He started whining after he handed my mail over. Ignored him and drove away. That will have given him a couple of hours whining when he meets with his brother and sister and in-laws for their weekly coffee clatch whine-off.
Bullet, thankfully dodged.
