One thing you will find in the gay community is a desire for it’s practitioners to appear pre pubertal. Why else the fetish with hairlessness?

Former Gez:
Transmission is the big cost in all renewable projects.
Big users, such as cities, should have renewable projects as close to the existing grid as possible to get the most energy and at least cost.
There is no discernible benefit in daylight hours or wind speeds of placing renewables in distant country areas.
The ‘big grid’ is old thinking that has been outpaced by technology.Then why aren’t solar panels placed on top of the city buildings?, and put on racks between them? Kind of like a roof over the city made from solar panels. And put banks of small windmills above the streets to catch the wind tunnel effect at about the fifth floor?

It’s hailing in southern Victoria.
Raining most of the day in this dryish SA region. 13 max and 20ml rain in 24 hours. Coming your way, Gez and Bushy.Sydney had a perfect autumn day though we will cop it tomorrow.
It’s only rain and a cold blast. Wait for the Budget on Tuesday and then we will cop it.

Have I explained my theory that the white Renault in Paris was being driven by Prince Edward? OK, maybe not today.
hmmm
he has to work through a few of them now to get to the top of the heap
eddie and his pr missus went off reservation early days but copped a clip and wisely kept his head down ever since

Dover Beach:
In Poland, the Monument of Gratitude to the Red Army, erected on the burial site of 500 dead Soviet soldiers, was destroyed live
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.
Perhaps we should build a memorial in Hyde Park to commemorate the thousands of Japanese Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who slaughtered our men and women PoWs in SE Asia. -
Coronation
The Choir is amazingHas anybody pointed out the irony of the Kyrie and Gloria being sung in Latin as part of a CofE service,when that chap in Rome has ordered it’s non use in Catholic services.
By god the Hallelujah is boring.
Sipping a good run on ice hanging out for Zadok the Priest then it’s bed for me .

Been plenty of Kyrie Eleisons at mass here and abroad, despite the current Pope’s lack of enthusiasm.
Zero reduction in Victoria in the right to have a Latin mass.My local parish allows the Latin Mass in the church hall which oddly enough is at the same time as the normal one. Makes getting a parking spot rather dicey.

Anthony Albanese and partner Jodie Haydon arrive at King Charles’ Coronation as flagbearer Sam Kerr leads the group of handpicked Australians
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Jodie Haydon arrive
Procession of high-profile Australians entered Westminster Abbey
Matildas caption Sam Kerr, a flagbearer, wore black suitDon’t know how to link to an image, but Jodie Haydon should sack both her tailor and her corsetoire.

Only make sense if preceded by a general confession of sinfulness.
But then that is a downer for such an occasion so it was skipped.
Pity. If Chaz had confessed to stooging for the WEF, being gullible enough to believe in climate catastrophe, not putting a stop to Covidiocy and a few hundred other misprisions, I might be persuaded to take the doofus seriously.

Little johnnie is the worst PM ever; he
1 persuaded turdball to stay in politics
2 did not obliterate the abc when he had thumping majorities in the house and senate
3 signed Australia up to alarmism and renewables.He is a mealy mouthed pip pipper who thinks there are rules when dealing with the left and will not get his hands dirty. By in effect re-endorsing turdball again he shows he is a complete piece of swamp shit.
The rot started with that streak of shit malcolm fraser but little johnnie performed the coup degras. -
Hey, prince tampon chilla big ears – “You can take your coronation and insert it into your lard laden palace sized yartz”
Meanwhile Betty Windsor and Phil the Greek are no longer motionless in their graves.
Time to Romanoff and Bourbon them all. Prince tampon first, followed by ginger and the whinger and the rest of them as soon as possible afterwards.
Enough, you useless illigitimate hypocritical parasites. Begone, in the name of a non existent deity, just go.

Another HOP Time™ worthy WEF Fascist.

For naval Cats, the RAN ship that was sunk by both the Japanese and the US Navy.
She was attacked by Japanese bombers and sunk on 26 December 1941 at Manila Bay during the Second World War. The wreck was salvaged, raised by the Imperial Japanese, and renamed Hatsu Maru. She served as an Imperial Japanese Army transport. On 13 November 1944, she was sunk after being bombed by United States Navy carrier based aircraft in Manila Bay, Philippines.
Sometimes life really sucks.

Well said. Fraser was elected in a landslide, a thumping majority in both Houses and a clear mandate to disband the whole, failed Whitlam experiment, but he was too afraid about what the Left in this country would say about him…

Orban;
We have stopped migration at our borders, we have banned the sexualization of children and gender propaganda in schools, and we are also working uncompromisingly for peace. It works. We have won four in a row. People feel that they are being played. They support the political force that protects and represents the interests of the whole nation. Yes, popular will, or democracy itself, is the main weakness of the progressive forces. Is this where they can be caught?
Ladies and gentlemen, there are two ways to take a city, as they knew in ancient Rome. Either you take the walls of the city, or you take the sanctuaries of the city. My advice is that we start with the sanctuaries, then we take the walls. We have taken great European sanctuaries in recent years. Budapest, Warsaw, Rome, Jerusalem, Vienna are not hopeless, but the truth is that the two main sanctuaries of modern democracy, Washington and Brussels, are still in the hands of the liberals. Let us make sure that this is not the case.
I wish you all God’s support and perseverance in doing so. And if we are to meet on May 4, may the Force be with you.

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.
What a pathetic species humans can be.

The question is not why children would like to view drag queens (after all, they’re colourful and brash and interesting from a toddler’s perspective). The question is why drag queens want to perform in front of children.
And a further question, if it was just about performance feedback why don’t drag queens perform for the elderly ?

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.

Why do we a Head of State when we already have a PM? What does one actually do? Saw Betty whe I was young and couldn’t understand what I was doing there and left. She did her job well and I think of her with fondness but really had nothing to do with me. A figurehead is a waste of time and money. When the king leads his trannies into battle I may have a rethink. Yeah…nah.
