Russia teaches Europe the lesson by watching, despite all their efforts via NATO, Ukraine being decisively defeated.
The only thing I could point to is retribution, thereby teaching the Europeans a lesson. But as I said, I…

Keep digging that hole……………………
Chelan Simmons.
Yes.
Jona Lewie.
That’s what Mick Jagger used to say.
To David Bowie.
This blog is getting very gay Iraqi Information Ministry vibes.
My preference for Our Kate (Upton) was “predatory”.
My preference for Chelan Simmons was noped to a “cute OWL”.
My preference for Prinny Irulan is that she is a 5/10.
Mick Jagger and David Bowie were never sprung in bed.
I never knew conservatives were so incredibly gay.
If your preference was NO to SSM, I should have respected that and I am genuinely sorry.
It looks like a barnacle on a worn out merchant trawler.
That’s unfair. For a start its symmetrical. Do you have any idea how rare that is?
That said – Princess Irulan is a solid 5, so there’s that.
I’ve seen better noses on Botched, before the boys got to it.
Saved from more Albo photo opps.
Be thankful for small mercies.
I never knew conservatives were so incredibly gay.
It was gayness that got Barton the gig back in 1901.
Then even more gayness that got him on the High Court for the following two decades.
Conservatives = gayness.
The two greatest colonisers meet in the World Cup final.
On Cadigal land.
The Hun:
Is that good?
Australia lost. Justice is served.
And the poor refereeing continues ……… English player getz yellow carded for kicking a dead ball 3 metres .. Spanish girl hoofed a dead ball the width of the pitch, Monday night, and both ref & VAR ignored it …….
Lotza media tears come morning but, at least, the “cycle” will have moved on by late afternoon …
So England goes into the lesbian soccer final.
Uptick, for you, FG.
Proof positive that nobody knows what planet Lidia Thorpe is on, but the mother ship left a long time ago…
In a way, it means our gals were less lesbian than theirs.
Had to endure 90+ minutes of this bullshit at our friend’s place pretending I was interested, but fell asleep.
Cash!

Yep.

LOL..perfect Bern.
Why am I not upset that we lost?
Don’t think for a moment the Liars , or at least some of them believe this trash talk about enhancing productivity with renewballs. Some know exactly what they’re doing. They’re in the bag to the renewball lobby and the unions.
Mark Dice:
Of Course!
Commonwealth Bank are positioning themselves to CBDCs, bigly. Notice of changes to the t&c’s on my kids’ bank accounts-
– CommBank will move to electronic-only statements, apps and mobile phone access
– CommBank will block any transaction if “you seek to make a payment to an account which we reasonably believe may be owned or controlled by a cryptocurrency or digital asset exchange”
– CommBank will “fairly and reasonably” spike transactions, cancel cards, suspend access, or outright suspend or cancel accounts without liability for a customer’s loss or damage.
Any other lurkers get this bullsh*t?
More importantly, any advice where to move the money which I’ve been pumping to Commonwealth for the last thirteen years? I’m very tempted to cash out both accounts over the counter, and take it to the gold exchange. All I’ve taught the kids about regular saving and compound interest all of a sudden looks second order to the lessons I’m going to have to give them about the deathgrip of the financial-government complex.
I don’t think they have a blanket ban, but it is for your own good.

We’ve been home for a few hours now. Attapuss over the moon. I glanced at the big game, thought the Englishers were playing rough, playing like men, says Hairy with some admiration. Then he moderated it down a bit to playing like women against girls.
Glad Albo didn’t get his public holiday, and his big promo after the game. My two little granddaughters in Brisbane will be very sad at the loss though, for their little hearts were given over to the Matildas. Anyway, they lost and everyone can calm down now.
I wonder if the craze about the Matildas is partly due to their name. Here’s a name that speaks to the Old Australia, to Waltzing Matilda, Billabongs and Squatters against the poor man in hard times. No aborigines in Waltzing Matilda note. Going for the Matildas is going for the true Australian heritage. Maybe that’s obvious but it’s worth saying.

Buy land.
we all suffer from CBA domination of the banking sector and their low standards for stability, performance and customer “experience”. I’d suggest any smaller bank that doesn’t run their services on CBA platform will be better than CBA.
From my Singapore account I can transfer money in direct bank-bank transfer to other asian countries with zero fees in real time. Here we are given rubbish service and stupid “protection” we never asked for && people think its normal service.
Buy iodine (and tinned tuna).
That’s not always an option depending upon what a person does for a living and what their financial situation is.
Banks are tightening lending requirements, cost of living is rising.
Unless your paying cash, it’s not going to be easy.
I’m working under the assumption that most people are in the situation where financing housing/land would be difficult.
I think energy will be where it’s at. I’d go 50/50 on coal mines and small nuclear.
Dutton was really talking up those small modular nuclear systems, saying get in line now because the rush has started. Can’t be too bad an investment in that case.
Also, nothing wrong with fine wine. It improves with age, unlike food, and would be a tradable asset like gold in a financial crisis. Stores easily too, not flammable like petrol.
“The two greatest colonisers meet in the World Cup final.

Wot’ is Gadigal Land BTW. I didn’t fink’ that there was any ownership of the land on this Great Continent before 1788.
Maybe refer this to Tennis Elbow, Burney or Chairman Xi or ……………………the UN. LOL.
Plasmamortar> Perhaps we could issue a crypto stable-coin (“COALZ”) backed by Aussie Coal. Useful in winter and also when CBDC has been enforced for payments && fiat money has gone.
Anyway, I’m done in with all the travel.
I drove first this morning and we had travelled 40km when we got a call from the apartments saying Hairy had left his ipad plugged in. So we had to turn around and go back ‘cos his life is on that and I had driven 80 km to get back to where we began. He took over then, and later I took another go. And so it went.
I can’t complain. I left my laptop on a counter top in the Novotel when I went to get the freebie coffees and we’d lugged everything down to the basement carpark before I suddenly shrieked ‘my laptop!’, for my life is on that. Hairy kindly went up to get it for me. Thus, today, one good turn etc …
I dunno, I can’t complain about the service provided by Australian banks. I have several accounts and never had problems receiving or sending money and credit card.
I also get service from a private bank and the banker will do anything for me like getting tickets to shows and takes me out to lunch every couple of months.
There are plenty of choices in Oz for the services you require.
Lastly, you can get online brokerage or full service.
“The two greatest colonisers meet in the World Cup final.

Isn’t it Gadigal? More typos?
And one coloniser raped, killed, pillaged and stole the treasure and took it back to Spain. And left a Big Mess. Not very good colonists at all.
The other helped make and develop the foundations for a Great Nation. And to have everyone speaking English with property rights and the rule of law.. No longer now as the Left (LayBore/Greens) and the stupid Libs/Nats are destroying it all.
Vale Australia,
Nope. Cadigal land. Lesbians in cardigans. And comfortable shoes naturally.
If you really want to know what a weird banking service feels and looks like, try the US banks where they still use a chequing system. Cheques can be sent online through the bank or physical cheques.
I make monthly payments through an online chequing system via the bank’s website. An electronic transfer can cost 25 bucks.
Matildas lost, so there will be no Saint Albo’s Day holiday.
He will have to bribe us with something else to compensate for the The Whisper (formerly Voice).
I need to re-read it, but I thought CBA were limiting transfers to crypto to $10k a month.
At least that’s what I thought the letter said.
Gawdalmighty, Half of Australia fixated on girly soccer while Albo fiddles.
‘Nite Cats.
New OT up.
Forget about Muellerween, now it’s Faniween.
“who wants to hang around someone whose only interest is the end of the world? Such people are not only depressed but depressing.”
