Cross country riding is like those 3-wheeled predecessors to quad bikes – but with a 700kg flesh bike.

The Red army invaded Poland on 1939, and reinvaded in 1944.
During this second invasion, the Red Army indulged itself in the mass rape of Polands women and children, and forcibly impressed thousands of Polish men into the effort to subjugate Poland and its people.
Perhaps the rubble of this monument to Russian bastardry could be used to make a memorial to the victims of its rule – a suitable place would be the Katyn Woods.

I just realised I have not seen Prince Harry or hear anyone mention him. No camera showed him either, at least not while I was watching. Perhaps he was shown while I was channel hopping.
Fraser maintained he had been set up by agents of the notorious South African BOSS – the Bureau Of State Security – in retaliation for his support for Blak majority rule..
My only reservation is that President Marcia Langton would be worse.
Finally saw Harry, two rows behind William.
I need to add this before heading off to bed. It’s from the afterward of the music video to Sabaton’s cover of ‘1916’:
19,000 Englishmen were killed before noon, a whole generation destroyed, in three hours.
Those boys and men must be looking down on us now and feeling revulsion at the narcissistic, delusional, petty, disrespectful societies that we have become.
Ashamed, they turn their backs on us and weep quietly at the waste, knowing that on Anzac Day next, most of us will pretend we are worthy of our place in the lineage.

Yes, Charles does look lackluster and tired.

The most IMPORTANT (Life Saving) Blood Test you’ve NEVER had
I’ve seen the memorial to the missing on the Somme. I’ve seen the memorial to the Newfoundland Regiment. The communications trenches, on the first day, were blocked with wounded and dying. The Newfoundlander s launched their attack from their second line of trenches. The unit suffered heavy losses before reaching THEIR OWN front line, let alone the German front line.
The memorial is that of a Newfoundland caribou, bellowing in agony, at those losses.

The PM is not a recognized position and not the head of state. The monarch is. The system has worked well for Australia as we’re one of the oldest stable democracies in the world.
I really think the PM position is far too political to be head of state and if we chose to go the Presidency route a popularly elected president would want power and that changes the system of governance. Don’t mess around with something that works.

I found myself being unable to sit and had to stand up from my seat three times tonight when God Save The King was played.
Maybe it comes from the days when it was played at every picture theatre in the 40s and 50s and into the 60s, when everyone without exception stood up for what was then our national anthem.
I cannot remember anyone every sitting down when it was played.
I saw that and thought how cheeky of the TV crew to switch to it.

I’m a keen jigsaw puzzler and wonder if any of these Pall Mall parade images will eventually be made into jigsaw puzzles.
Yes, the place is full of tombs which you don’t see on occasions like today.
Surely some Baron could be given that job?
that’s not pomp and ceremony

So just like the Liar caucus room?
Queen Camilla has good posture for an old woman, couldn’t see Lady Susan Hussey anywhere?
I’m remembering some who tried to make a protest by sitting down, and felt the wrath of some of the “old and the bold ” in the audience.
Is that the sound of the rain in the Buckingham Palace gardens?
I’m amazed how those soldiers can see anything underneath the busby hats. They seem to be covering their eyes.
We were both watching that too, Cassie.
My choice of starting drink was Aperol of course with Prosecco and Soda.
Followed by a good strong Durif red, repeated.
Sky did a great job. The whole ceremony, from the initial coach trip to the return to Bucking ham Palace has been magnificent. So well organised. And the religious part suitably inclusive for a modern Britain but extremely traditional as a Protestant service. My ancestors in their little church near the Thames estuary, who fled to Britain from persecution for their protestant beliefs, and who slotted well into that little eleventh century Parish church and Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer, would have been proud. I was proud too.
Whoa. Hairy has now set me to watch in my study, while he commandeers the Foxtel in the other rooms for his ceremonial watching of the (recorded) Big Game. I insist on watching the Coronation thru to the bitter end. Just saw the ABC interview two darling women bishops, one black. Really lovely girls, I thought. Now we’re back to busines as the King and Queen, wearing their robes and crowns, watch the grenadiers and others as they depart.
That ermine looks real. Lots of little critters in that robe. Beefeaters (beef eaters?) saluting.
So much political incorrectness, I am shocked, absolutely shocked.
So the people are cheering the street sweepers who are sweeping up the horse manure. Only in London.

The plus side to the rain is that at least the sky will have some lumpy texture to it instead of being perfectly uniformly blue.

I have been watching Channel 7 who had Angela Rippon as their commentator, very good.
My drink of choice tonight is Seaview sparkling wine which was popular when (then) Prince Charles visited Australia and Jane Priest surprised him in the surf.
Come to think of it, very practical so people don’t tread it down to Buckingham Palace when they head there for the balcony appearance.
Overall I’d call tonight’s spectacle magnificent.
Only twice I felt very uncomfortable:
When The Prime Minister, who is a Hindu, had a prominent role in Westminster Abbey with a reading from the Epistle to the Colossians.
and
The Gospel singers.
I was so nervous for Queen Camilla as that crown was first placed on her head. You know what it’s like when someone puts a hat on you – you always want to immediately adjust it slightly – and you could see that her fringe was getting into her eyes a bit and she had a surreptitious go at pushing it back under. She just had to leave it after that though, and then had to raise from her chair and walk with it on. Her dress was unfortunately just that little bit too long, and her steps thus had to be so cautious. She appeared almost terrified for that part of the ceremony. If she’d had to grab her crown to keep it on the gossips would have may hay with that.
Charles looked half out of it for some of the ceremony. I think the medieval thing behind the screens really got to him. Truly a bit touched by the holy spirit. The enormity of it had hit home to him.
I think his Christianity may have been enhanced by this.
Fashion of it now on the ABC. India Hicks looking lovely, with a simply grey flared skirt dress, with a bobbled seam on the bodice opening; and she’s wearing a superb brooch. Bring back brooches, I say. They look so regal and glamorous. And I have some which I haven’t worn for ages.
I used to wear them a lot on my jacket lapels, but alone on a lovely dress they looked extra distinctive.
Lizzie, I hope you are right.
Katherine, Princess of Wales, being applauded for wearing high street designer dresses.
Why not, indeed? Some British fashion you can buy readily is often so well designed and made.
Hats under discussion now by a woman with no hairdo. India’s hair is ideal for her dress.
Same here.
Ms Angela has a very good knowledge of royal trivia and her commentary was mostly informed and relevant to the occasion.
Unlike the two Aussie oafs who were prattling on like star struck schoolgirls at a rock concert.
How embarrassment (sic).
Aussie woman at the Mall being interviewed. Coming over despite 30 hour flight was the best thing she’s ever done, she says. She’s going long on souvenirs. Sent boxes home already and is filling an empty suitcase with them too.
OK, appearance time, they are on the balcony at Bucks. Doesn’t look as if the fly past will happen.
All the kids are there, and the rest of the ‘working’ family now joining the line up. Crowd going wild.
Helicopters in formation coming in now. I can count twelve.
♫♫ Did somebody say Headline Hog? ♫♫
Here come the display planes now, the red arrows in their red white and blue trails of smoke.
The Red Arrows flyover with red, white and blue contrails was amazing.
It is remarkable that this is the rhetorical corner in which you have painted yourselves. To be a True Conservative, now you must denounce young mothers – the cornerstone of our nation, the bedrock of our culture – as being perverted criminals.
There is not much coming back from here. The only place you can go is to join Bosi in faffing on endlessly about kids in tunnels and reciting thinly-veiled facsimiles of the Protocols. You have crossed into custard territory.
Not the full fly past, but noisy and good, now they are playing God Save the King.
Good sized crowd in the rain, looking down The Mall.
King and Queen making an encore appearance. He looks tired, but far more relaxed than before.

I bow to no man.
You don’t rule me mate. My recorded antecedents in that land go back hundreds of years before yours and I ain’t even allowed citizenship thereof.
Piss off.
I can’t believe I’m watching the ABC and not finding it objectionable.
Don’t know who these people are, but they are commenting well, especially pointing out that this is about continuity. Asian guy won’t accept ‘nostalgia’ from the female coordinator – says is a loaded word – and would prefer to describe it as ‘tradition’. I’m with him. He notes that the ceremony stays fundamentally traditional. Their discussion on the ‘faith’ vs ‘faiths’ issue is seen as something QE11 also encouraged, in terms of protecting rights of all faiths, including none.
Issue of incremental change? Point made that the monarchy is not modernisable, and that it stands for something people care deeply about. Maintaining relevance is crucial, they agree.
That’s Charles’ challenge. His German visit seen as a new approach and a success.
Wasn’t protestant back then, I suspect.
My daughter messaged me mentioning how like a Catholic mass the coronation was.
I guess if it’s based on a 1000 tradition , it probably is.
Note to Chuck:
You can’t be woke and progressive AND the King. Pick one and commit to it.

dover, I cannot believe what that random youtube hyperlink turned out to be. But that is what it was.
Constitutional monarchy being highly praised, for it’s lack of turmoil and its unifying nature.
Well, that’s what I’ve been saying here all day, so time now to head for bed.
Parish churches were protestant when my ancestors took over this one, in 1650, having arrived in Britain amongst the earliest Huguenots in 1615, but being burned out of their initial refuge in those troubled times.
..
It’s a silly idea.
And it’s only appeared stable in modern times.
See wars of the Roses and princes in the Tower etc.
Plus they tend to inbreeding.
Every Egyptian Pharaoh married his sister or his mother.
The music was the full spectrum of a high musical tradition. Glorious, in the true sense of the word.
Ex-chorister of The Temple Church refilling my glass was singing along to some of it. At his school, The City of London School, boys could chose between belonging to the Templar’s church choir, or the Choir of St. George, who sang today.
I am glad it all went well today.
Arky, at least you got your apostrophe correct. I didn’t, used the apostrophe as a possessive for its.
Shouldn’t do that.
On the rest of your views, I differ. But that’s ok. Rabz is my friend, but he hates the monarchy.
I watched UK TV. ….BBC . Twas excellent. Brits understand less is more. …cept for teh right at the end. ‘The planet needs savings as we all know and the king will work to make it happen..’

I’ll keep my oath, but I won’t suppress my views.
It’s a silly idea to choose a person for office because of their parentage.
William seemed pretty cold towards his dad.
P, I didn’t mind Rishi Sunak’s reading at all. It was sensitively read. His schooling at Winchester School and then on to Oxford has provided him with an excellent understanding of British Christianity and he is Prime Minister, so a prominent figure for a reading.
Like you, I blanched at first with the Gospel singers, but Hairy and I agreed at their conclusion that their Aleluia was rather beautiful, not holy roller stuff, and as he noted, the Anglican church is growing strongly in Africa now, so an African mode was not jarring.
Watching the females here go all soppy about people playing dress-ups could depress my proud spirit, if I’d ever expected anything different.
I hope you sober up tomorrow.
I’m going I tell you. This time, I’m , I’m really going, so there!

Careful girls! You’ll be “you lot-ed” next. 😀
Not particularly soppy here, I was interested in the service as it might be the only one I ever get to see. ERII’s was always going to be grainy black and white, which probably added to it’s antique nature and mystique.
It was, essentially, a Christian service very much like the commissionings and confirmations I have witnessed in the CofE (now Anglican) here, with obvious bells and whistles. The Psalms, the reading from Colossians, and the entire musical program pointed not to the temporal king but the heavenly one. It was only when they got to the hardware that it really became about Charles.
That screen for the anointing interested me – I must find out it’s provenance, but it may have been done especially by the Royal School of Needlework. The scene was a tree and all the leaves had the names of Commonwealth countries on it, and there were some seraphim and other angelic beings floating around. The cloth of gold surcoat was prepared by another royal garment maker – it looked as though it had been done trapunto style (or what the French call boutis). All technically interesting for a stitcher.
Not so impressed with the Look at Me fashions of the guests, though some of the ladies went for style over flamboyance from my brief observation.
And now it’s over. I won’t speculate on Charles’ faith. That will be between him and the Almighty. His other hobby, Gaia, is another matter. I hope he took the Colossians reading to heart – it’s all under control and isn’t up to him to “save da planet”.
Being Sunday .. let’s start wiv a bit ‘o religious fervour .. LOL!

I was soppy over something…two things actually.
All those beautifully groomed and well behaved horses. Hundreds of them and barely a peep. And Princess Anne’s mount being a little bit temperamental and she barely took any notice of it, sitting tall and proud and still youthful in figure.
And the children – the ruffed choirboys reminded me of my brother and The Beloved in their robes and medals (and church mums trying to iron in all those starched pleats), the little chorister welcoming the king, and the Wales children (I noticed Louis disappeared for a bit, smart move).
Unlike St Paul’s the Abbey looks intimate when it’s packed, regardless of the massive roof space. It’s all vertical…as it should be.
The Goodies (Ecky Thump)
No sloppiness over the coronation here, I watched five minutes of it.
More than enough for me.
I see the resident hater here has been busy doling out Zeros to Lizzie’s comments overnight. So that puts the lie to Bespoke’s theory that it’s a caching issue.
You really need to look at yourself man. You hide behind an anonymous screen name and lack even the courage or intellect to refute what a genuine commenter says.
Lizzie, wear your Zeros with pride as I do mine. It means you’ve really got up some numpty’s nose. 😀
I think we can agree that the Coronation was better than the Dockers game.
I would dearly love to have had David Starkey do the commentary for the Coronation. We would have had explanations of the meaning of what was going on, not just fluff about some page boy wearing his Hotspurs jumper under his uniform.
Craig Foster talks absolute shit.
Err I said mostly, calli. No need to add to the paranoia.

It’s called incitement and it’s still in the criminal statute. But its main current user, the media, is both a parrot and enforcer for the American ruling class (even in Australia), so it’s not being enacted as it would be in a system that upheld equality before the law.

Many aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak, and response have been problematic. For example, why was the lab-originated hypothesis rigidly shut down for the first couple years of the pandemic? A new set of questions are raised by a set of contracts that can be seen here. The first document, dated November 6, 2015, is between Moderna and the US government’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Titled, “Confidential Disclosure Agreement,” the contract states that NIAID’s proprietary information relates to vaccine research for HIV, influenza, Ebola, and MERS, while Moderna’s “proprietary and confidential information [is] related to design and manufacture of a messenger RNA platform…” This agreement was then amended many times to extend its duration. The next relevant document is a contract from August 22, 2016. In the appendix, the agreement posits that, “Moderna’s vaccine development efforts have spanned various infectious diseases, and include world-class expertise in mRNA construct production optimization, up to and including cGMP drug product manufacturing in order to bring clinical candidates forward through regulatory processes in the US and EU.” More agreements between NIAID and Moderna were signed in 2017 and 2018. A reminder during 2015, Ralph Baric and colleagues from University of North Carolina and elsewhere including Wuhan Institute of Virology world published in the journal Nature “A SARS-like cluster of circulating coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.” This risky gain-of-function-esq coronavirus modification methodology made its way to China according to an important piece by Rowan Jacobson titled “Inside the risky bat-virus engineering that links American to Wuhan.”
Is two days to create a COVID-19 vaccine credible?
Next, we fast forward to 2019, a mid-December 2019 Material Transfer Agreement between Ralph Baric and team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and NIAID as well as Moderna, states that the later parties will transfer to the university, “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates developed and jointly owned by NIAID and Moderna.” (Italics added.) Also, according to a New York Magazine article published December 7, 2020, Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine had been “designed by January 13” 2020. The piece’s author David Wallace-Wells noted that this was only two days after the SARS-CoV-2’s genetic sequence was made public by Chinese researchers. The New York Magazine article reported that “the Moderna vaccine design took all of one weekend. It was completed before China had even acknowledged that the disease could be transmitted from human to human, more than a week before the first confirmed coronavirus case in the United States. By the time the first American death was announced a month later, the vaccine had already been manufactured and shipped to the National Institutes of Health for the beginning of its Phase I clinical trial.” An amazing feat.

John Nolte has given Disney an epic serve today:
Nolte: Disney’s Child Groomers Drag ‘Guardians 3’ Down to Lousy $110M Opening (6 May)
So how is it possible that the Marvel franchise that seemed to carry more audience goodwill than any other opened to just $110 million this weekend, which was “at the very low end of expectations” and a whopping 25 percent below its predecessor?
…
No, no, no, no… this is bad for Marvel and Disney, a mixture of superhero exhaustion, too many terrible Marvel movies, and the child predator-stink Disney is getting over everything it touches.
If the very real Bud-Lite implosion tells us anything, it’s that America is sick of fascist corporations looking to normalize and celebrate mental illness, perversion, fetishes, women-minstrelsy, and child grooming.
What else could it be? Super Mario Bros. is about to cross $500 million domestic. But that movie is innocent fun. No one’s using Mario and Luigi to get into your underage son’s pants or your underage daughter’s locker room. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the degenerate Walt Disney Co.
Disney burst out of the satanic closet and openly targeted the innocence of our children with their obscenities. Earning back our goodwill might be impossible at this point.
Coruscating. It’s a shame that Disney has fallen in this way after entertaining us for so long. Shows how the Left destroys everything it infects.
Cast your mind back a couple of weeks to his “I’d make sure of it.” comment.
Yesterday was provocation for provocation’s sake.
Tom, this isn’t an America only problem.
If anyone was serious about enforcing Incitement as a criminal offense the Voice BS would be at the top of the list.
Enabling the racist bullshit has to stop.
“Watching the females here go all soppy”
I like history, ritual, majesty and tradition, if you want to call that “soppy”, well that’s your prerogative but “soppy” doesn’t describe me, and I reckon it doesn’t describe most other females here. I know Lizzie and Tinta pretty well, and I would never describe either of these women as soppy. I’ve met Megan and she ain’t soppy. I don’t personally know rosie or calli or pogria but I also wouldn’t describe them as soppy, sentimental or self-indulgent.
Just on the monarchy, and the naysayers here. I voted yes to the republic back in 1999, but I won’t be voting “yes” in any future referendum. There’s more than one reason why I’ve changed my mind but the primary reason is that given the ghastly politicised world we live in, any republic, any president, would simply be yet another tool for the left to daily bludgeon ordinary Australians with. Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and co live thousands of miles away, they mostly act with dignity and regality so, I’ll take King Charles any day over President Adam Goodes, President Lidia Thorpe, President Kevin Rudd, President Malcolm Turnbull, President Kim Beazley. Anyone who thinks a republic will not be politicised by the left is living in la-la land.
Oh and my steamed golden syrup pudding was superb.
Regarding Nambas post about Moderna.
How come it is Moderna that is setting up production facilities in Australia, Canada and UK. Wasn’t Pfizer interested as after all we used far more Pfizer than Moderna.
Often overlooked is the fact most European countries stopped Moderna for younger age groups.
Damned generous of them.
However, if they detect Granny watching Coronation Street without a licence,
there’ll be trouble.
Somebody last night posted about Charles being a better option as head of state than Adam Goodes.
If the Yes vote wins and next is the Republican referendum than you can pretty much guarantee the first head of state will be First Nations and we all know it is not going to be Jacinta Price.
From social media it seems many did not like the ABC coverage of the Coronation. However hardly a surprise.
Outsiders giving the ABC a serve for their petty and ahistorical take on the coronation.
The highlight is footage of Nick Cave taking his seat. He was very well dressed and cut a fine figure. Nice work Nick.
