Anyway, I’m happy to stay here and fight. Why should I be chased out of my home and the country I love.

I am interested in this ‘limited experience’ you mention.

I’ve seen one example first hand, and photographs of a couple of others. Normally results in a big dent or flattening. Pipeline steel is low carbon, so it is relatively easy to mash out of shape, but hard to get it to tear or crack.

Shy Ted:

I predict India will get lots of coal and boundless minerals and we’ll get lots of elderly Indians.

I went to Prince Charles for my transplant checkup and tried to get to the skin clinic. Not quite filling the doorways with Asians and SubContinentals, but no chance of getting in.
It’s a first come first served so there’s no chance of getting an appointment.
No, I’m not sour about it, but I did manage to run over four of them as I left the car park.
Make that five.
Or six.
Accidently.

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.

Was just looking at candidates for NSW Senate.

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.

DrBG munty is always in pretend mode, its the only way he can exist. Reality is not something the left can cope with.

Drama in the Proud Boys trial yesterday after FBI agent caught lying on the stand

That is totally hilarious!

However, a close examination of the agent’s [spread]sheet revealed over one thousand hidden Excel rows of messages.

She put all her texts into an Excel spreadsheet then used standard settings to hide all but 25 of them? And expected no one would notice? Wow, these people are so dumb it blows my mind.

For my money, the most disgusting aspect is that one of his neighbors made the original complaint.

That Monkey Werx fella reckons he tracks human trafficking airliners, even military (good) ones to Gitmo and “military tribunals” for anti Trumpists are ongoing.

He’s also on a mission from God.

A totally reliable, trusted blogger of superior intellect.

Ooh a SITREP! I can’t wait to fantasise how Donald J Trump is STILL President.

The waterway passes between Mr Maddox’s front gate and his home and is prone to flooding in winter.

He said there had been a crossing at the site even before he moved in nine years ago, but that it was made of gravel instead of concrete.

After several years of winter rainfall washing away the gravel, Mr Maddox decided to hire contractors to install something more permanent.

“We laid a concrete bed right across the top of the bitumen, across the full length of the crossing,” he said.

“That’s had the effect of giving us an all-weather crossing.

“It doesn’t matter how much the creek flows and how much it comes down, there’s always the ability to access your house and your sheds.”

I’d argue that the Rainbow Serpent should appreciate his new home, with no more gravel rash.
Clearly he can flow down the creek as usual when the rains come and the gentleman being placed under ridiculous amounts of stress over this can actually still drive through to his house.
Win-win in my book, and in the view of anyone sensible.

“I was patted on the head in the chamber by a Greens senator and I was completely demoralised, and even thinking about that still, you know, hurts me,” she said.

Oh no! She got Blocked Roached for her stupidity!

Noooo! Senators must be treated like the sovereign himself!

I was sexually assaulted four times and I didn’t go to the police! I’m super serious guys, give us money or we’ll have a tantrum and act like teenage delinquents well into our retirement years!

Oooh! I’m scared now guys, we better give the bigot inspector our wallets!

Baiame’s pet Rainbow Serpent in Sydney has to pay a lot of rent. He should move out to Jordan Springs, really.

Here’s one for lawyer cats: If a person is charged with an offence, found guilty but no conviction is recorded, can someone claim he has a criminal conviction?

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.

“I’ve never been patted on the head by anybody and I’m not nobody’s little black girl and that’s how I felt. I felt belittled.”

She’s not actually a ‘little black girl’. She’s as white as my nephew’s daughter.
Same level of aboriginal input. Brought up in terrible public housing conditions.
Nephew’s daughter has married a good Christian man and has two small children now.
Working hard together, they purchased a house in a Newcastle suburb and have nearly paid it off.
Dealt worse cards but doing better than Lidia, I think.

For my money, the most disgusting aspect is that one of his neighbors made the original complaint.

That’s one of the problems with Australia, there’s always some government loving c’nt at hand.

When I got terminated I built a large shed for my mate out of an old mezzanine. It didn’t meet the council definition of shed because it was open on two sides. His c’nt of a neighbor dobbed him in, $50k and counting later….

Mother Lode:

Chalmers is like a wild ravenous beast. Now he wants to double tax dividends.

He is the Administrative State personified. Doesn’t care what damage he does, it’s like a Zombie Treasurer who sees brains.
“Bwainz! Tax it! Bwainz!” Drool. “Bwainz!” Shuffle. Lurch. “Bwainz!”

Who has 500kg of RDX on-hand?

RDX is the base for many military explosives – so anyone with a military, or informal access to military materiel.

Are you generating these navigation maps just before you employ the explosive devices or ahead of the scheduled explosions?

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.

The other thing is locating the pipeline with the drone is one thing, then you are going to have to use the drone to run the delivery device across the sea floor near to the pipeline using the yacht.

You would use the drone for observation and tow the explosive onto the job.

You would And you have to do this in roughly four separate locations early morning, then early evening, again, without being noticed even after the first explosions less than 24 hours earlier.

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.

Or, white Saxons, red for Welsh.

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.

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.

I hope you never have to experience this stuff first hand, but you will, it’s baked in at this point.

what stuff?

What do you think Lizzie? You know this area well from your youth.

Whatever happens, it’s safe to say that Bruce Lehmann’s life has been destroyed.
Well, not destroyed, but it has certainly taken a different path to what he thought it would.

Hang on. No one has jumped on you Winston and told you that you are both stupid and disgusting for expressing that opinion.

But then Lehmann isn’t a crazed gun toting defender of…something or other.

Horrible things happen to people and the sensible ones re-write the story of their lives. I hope he goes on to clean up bigly. The way our courts are skewed, I am not hopeful. He may do better overseas.

The story made up by Bede and other chroniclers IS that Horst and Hengist WERE invited in to stop Pictish aggression, as mercernaries of Vortigern, in 449.

I have to say the best neighbours I have ever had are right here. I had to move out of Sydney to find them. Dobbing neighbours are grim.

The fighting ones are worse. A friend has one moron next door who has taken to hosing her over the fence. Obviously mental, but what can you do?

You have a mathematics degree, you will be able to understand how it works.

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.

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.

And you having all those smarmy, useless ‘advisors’ living out their west wing fantasies.

So Lidia Thorpe, who everyday brings the senate into disrepute, alleges she’s been “sexual assaulted” by some Labor and Coalition members.

What, all at once, or in series?
She’s been a busy lady.
Is there’s $3 million on offer?
We should ask Brittany.

Just watching Air Force One for the gazillionth time. Gary Oldman being suitably evil, Ford as the debonair Pres.

I’m auditioning the current POTUS in the unlikely plot. Oddly enough, even my fevered imagination can’t make the leap.

The English kicked out all the invaders, bar William I.

The Normans remarried back into the Saxons through Margaret of Scotland’s daughter Matilda of Scotland (married Henry I).

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.

So now the bitter clingers to a Saxon invasion say Bede et Al were right but Vortigern did not invite in Horst and Hengist.

Hmm. Okay. Talk about being selective with your sources.

2dogs – the theory re Bede makes sense. Lindisfarne was attacked after England allied to Charlemagne.

Pulled into Gundagai and it’s amazing how many people go see the Dog On The Tuckerbox

Huh ! My sister was there this arvo, sent us a charming photo of her Dalmation on the plibth.

“It has been a very hard time for me in this place. I was sexually assaulted four times in my first six months,” Senator Thorpe said in an interview broadcast on ABC’s Afternoon Briefing.

Now that’s pulling a very long bow. Who on earth would want to have a go at Thorpe?

Been busy most of the day, is anything interesting happening?

well go on then …
I’ll try to cope with the technicalities

Phylogenetics, tensor analysis that allows for the reconstruction of the family tree. The crime labs use it to generate close matches from DNA, it is being used to catch serial killers.

So Lidia Thorpe, who everyday brings the senate into disrepute, alleges she’s been “sexual assaulted” by some Labor and Coalition members.

Fantasist.

Unless it’s “sexual assault” by Dirty Looks. That I can believe.

My very first MiL

First?

I’ve had only one MiL. Sadly deceased. Fabulous, smart woman of the non interfering type. Tried to model myself on her.

Appears to have worked as all my children and in laws are still speaking to me.

female state school teacher (nature and place of school apparently suppressed) who groomed and repeatedly shagged a student ‘unlikely to go to jail’, according to Victorian judge.

What a surprise (not)!

Meanwhile in NSW, a magistrate who dares talk sense gets slapped down.

Erk. That sounded boastful. I’ll never be as fabulous and smart as she was. But being non-interfering was definitely doable. 😀

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.

A late showing of Harold and Maude.

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.

is it too much to ask that the absolute-knowers here start bringing some absolutes?

I respect your ability. I am not going to try to teach you linear algebra.

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.

Had I known about the Big Mosquito I might have been tempted to drive them there as well.

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 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….

that’s nuthin’
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.

Amazing Polly is a loon. You were warned before.

Clearly you don’t think it was an intentional or accidental release by China.

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.
