It certainly is when prices have been sliding so much the last few years. Friends of ours in the Dept 64 are good friends with a RE agent there- the impression they have is that the majority of Poms with properties there want to sell and have reduced the offer dramatically. Now, many are reconciled to being stuck with the property and flogging them as gites and AirBnB’s. Apparently the French red tape, taxes and the medical insurances are the killers for them.

Great stuff, boys.

One Jewish dude went off on a rant about how Musk is a terrible anti-Semite.
JC, your mate must not have heard about Musk’s recent trip to Israel. Although he was originally expressing concern for “innocent” Pallies, he apparently did an “about-face” when confronted with the evidence of the shattered remains of the kibbutzim & the horrific photographs etc. He was reported to have left “visibly shaken”.
I still say the best way of dealing with the doubters is to somehow get them to look at the videos, photos & stories of the first attendees of the carnage.
Using (justified) outrage works in short-term, but its a tactic the Palestinians have used and continue to use. Seems to require increasing levels of outrage over time as people get de-sensitised or lose interest e.g. Ukraine.

Musk. Reckons he’s the richest man in the world with an outside voice due to the X purchase. There’s nothing you can do with these people as they rationalise everything to comport with their ideology.
Wow, haven’t heard from him for at least two decades:
The Brits are still a slightly higher grade of foreigner in France – particularly those who own real estate. If you are a Brit you can enter visa-free to reside for 90 in 180 days – and property ownership is a near automatic qualification for a long-stay visa or a carte de sejour for multi-year stay. (Providing you have health insurance, can prove a modest income, and can tolerate bureaucracy that would make a Saint’s eyes bleed.)
The Frogues have just passed legislation through the Assemblée that actually makes long stay visa renewal automatic for British second home property owners.
The French certainly do prefer new builds and shun run down rural properties with rising damp, cracked plaster, shit plumbing, and leaky roofs. Hence Chateau ‘Iggins sells at bubble pricing – compared to what locals would pay, if at all.
For those interested in the case of Hong Kong businessman Jimmy Lai the blog Big Lychee has two posts up about his trial.
Not looking good for the brave man.
Even before 1997 he was speaking out which cost him a lot of money. At one point in 90’s his clothing business, Giordano, had shops everywhere in Hong Kong and many in China. He had to sell his share in the business as his political activities were impacting the business.
He then concentrated on his Apple newspaper business which attracted the attention of the authorities who eventually shut it down.

I think it’s patent that Toad-Ten have not proven that any intercourse took place*, (let alone “rape”), let alone demonstrated that they took any real steps to objectively satisfy themselves that it had. Even took extraordinary and dastardly measures, before during and after, to bury that doubt, so to speak, with their celebritney complainant soon proving she was an untrustworthy piece of work.

Well – that did it, didn’t it? After months of trying to pretend that this was just a continuation of Israel/Palestinian struggle, Guterres has finally acknowledged the scale of the horror of 7 October after having been persuaded to see the worst of the evidence and footage:
Guterres this week watched the IDF’s 47-minute documentary of Hamas atrocities from October 7 in a private screening at UN headquarters, after considerable pressure from Israeli officials, Channel 12 reported on Tuesday. Guterres had not attended previous screenings organized by Israeli officials at the UN, citing scheduling difficulties.
The footage includes harrowing scenes of murder, torture and decapitation from the Hamas slaughter in southern Israel, including raw videos from the terrorists’ bodycams.
According to Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan, Guterres said after watching the footage that the Hamas onslaught was “humanity at its worst.”

You know what- I had that thought, then realized that it was my anti-Brother racism leading me to assume that the fellow darkies would act as a pile-on. But, they never did for a start, not even when paleface turned the tables with a bit of WWF (if kids had been a few step closer to the kerb, say, let alone flat pavement, then Kid Crip would have needed a new spleen).
So, considering African American adolescent jumped the gammon lad from behind for starters, either the gathered crowd were all equals happy to let a bit of neighbourhood argy bargy play out as F*ck Around, Find Out… or it was a gang initiation thing which entailed hanging him out to dry.
Either way- much as I hate anyone over the age of three lashing out to prove themselves, and this just looks like toxic extended adolescence- I think it was on, for keeps.
That footage should be obligatory viewing for every single U.N. employee ( at the very least), and every current elected official anywhere.

We ought to have the UNRWA declared a terror funding organisation.
That is incorrect. Hamas released a mountain of footage on social media, some of it live, on telegram and other social media from day one.
It’s been removed from twitter etc but it’s still available on telegram.
It was wildly celebrated by far too many muslims.
International condemnation quickly changed the narrative to denial and claims the IDF was responsible for most of the death and destruction.
If you really need to see people being murdered by Hamas you won’t have to look far, it still gets posted by hamas apologists on twitter, or you can have a forage on telegram.
The problem is of course the Jews always lie narrative (unless independently verified by non Jews)
People demanding to see the rape videos are simply depraved monsters.
Here’s the current Reacher. Cruise would come up to his belly button. But you don’t get that muscularity by eating daffodils.

I thought the dirty old stink was just another failed socialist pollimuppet.
Using a false rape accusation, in league with ALP players (who says how high, a fish rots from the head, look at all the dirty money that coexisted with the false accusations against Pell, form with Porter with a concocted ball of lies), conniving and unethical prosecutors, a meddling jurdge, sub justice comments and a falsified conspiracy; scrubbed digital devices, lies about medical appointments: bringing down a government; our Federal and therefore national government, in control of national defence, to wit, a scandal arising out of the MINDEF office itself is not a “distraction squirrel”.
All major parties here have been trying on Digital IDs, internet licenses, mass surveillance/Total Information Awareness etc for over a decade and certainly since 9/11.
Consider that there are actually no distraction squirrels. They have authoritarian if not totalitarian ideologies now, far removed from their broadly classically liberal or compatible roots and their designs for utopia are so vast they beat Joe Public down with a colossal torrent of bad policies, they win the information war by sheer volume and overwhelming numbers.

No, all of this stems from the Muslim/Arab/Progressive Jew hating playbook. The denials about what happened on 7 October 2023 are no different to Holocaust denial. If you want confirmation about how the far-right and far-left have merged, fused and blended, it is how the far-left and the not so far left are engaging in 7 October denials. It emanates from the same repulsive and very pit that Holocaust denial comes from.
As for the Gazan Nazis, along with Muslims across the Arab world, Holocaust denial is rampant (you can always find copies of the Protocols and Mein Kampf in Cairo, Beirut, Damascus, Ramallah, Gaza City to purchase and read, having said that, no doubt you find them for sale in Lakemba too) but they’re not even consistent with their Holocaust denial, many Muslims either state the Holocaust didn’t happen or they say that the Germans didn’t finish us off.
Nobody should want to see a picture of a woman being raped or a baby being put in an oven to confirm the truth of 7 October.
It’s interesting to see how the view of most people here is that every Gazan killed is Hamas’ responsibility.
Many people are responsible for the death and destruction caused here.
Query: if I am ordered to fire upon people (civilian or military targets, doesn’t matter) am I no longer responsible, because I am “following orders”, or do I still bear some level of responsibility?
Am I responsible for the bombs falling from my plane? Or the bullets exiting the barrel of my gun as I press down upon the trigger?
Of course not… because I’m shooting at “bad guys” as defined by my government and/or commanding officer.
Second query: if I administer a lethal injection for a person sentenced to death, because I’m “just doing my job” am I a murderer?
Rockdoctor, the paparazzi economy is everywhere in the media — and the Daily Mail (which thinks gossip Down Under is worth a daily Australian edition) is one of its world capitals.

Was sipping cider through a straw.
I asked that girl, “How do you draw
That apple cider through a straw?”
She smiled at me and said that I
Might come up close and give a try.
And cheek to cheek and jaw to jaw,
We sipped that cider through a straw.
And all at once, that straw did slip,
I sipped some cider from her lip!

There are pictures of crematoriums, there are pictures and film of the camps when they were liberated by both the Allies and Russians. Both film and pictures show the skeletal survivors, they still unearth bones at Sobibor and Mauthausen, they still dig up bones in Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia where Jewish men, women and children were shot in pits and on and on it goes, and yet people still like to say it didn’t happen. The global Jewish population in 1939 was approximately 17 million. In 1945 the global Jewish population had been reduced to 11 million. The world Jewish population, even in 2023, has still not reached the level it reached in 1939. Now, why could that be? Perhaps it was because of a genocide?
Oh and I know three living survivors of Auschwitz, the only reason they survived was because when they arrived in Auschwitz, due to their age (they were respectively sixteen and seventeen at the time), unlike the younger and older members of their families they were not gassed on arrival, instead they were put to work in factories.
The population of Gaza has increased by one million in less than twenty years. So much for ‘genocide’.

Taut Tummage, leavened with a bit o’ McBoosage. The goil has it. 🙂
I’m watching the Channel 7 Carols in the Domain, very joyous. The Melbourne Carols on Christmas Eve usually get better ratings though I wonder if they will be less sumptuous this year as is everything in Victoria these days.
Does anyone click on Steve Inman links? After much scrolling past the Trickler posts these many months, I finally looked him up. He is a failed cage boxing person with a dog. Man I missing something?
Scientists have stumbled upon a massive forgotten colony off the coast of Australia that could have once home to hundreds of thousands of people.
Bruce Paxton was unavailable for comment.
LOL… at least until a Land Council confirms that it’s always been in their “songlines” and flex their custodianship over minerals and shipping.
Am I missing something?

Meant to be pissing rain from tomorrow night, through until Tuesday. Boxing Day cricket looks a washout.
Christmas carols as sung at the Domain and the Myer Music Bowl are such an exhibition of the Western civilisation as well as Christianity. These performances are the best of our world. Every performance is about joy and joy makes the world go round.

WTF are you on about?
Clarify.
At least the Sydney to Hobart yacht race will go ahead rain or shine.
I like the night life, Baybee! 🙂
Wally Dali, re SMSFs,
There is something going on behind the scenes. We set up ours in the Howard/Costello years, when you could pour as much as you wanted into it, and we added the kids when they began earning.
We have a few mill in there, we parents are in retirement, the kids are still contributing, but son in the mining industry is hitting some resistance with CBUS in rolling over his balance from his last job into the family fund. He has had to do a roundabout arrangement to get the funds.
Nobody from CBUS will give good answers. They obviously think it’s their money to play with, but we got it done this week.
People like Steve Inman are why I despise sports “journalism”.

One of the best ever.
Watched a doco a few weeks ago about the ’98 race. Yeah, takes a bit more weather to stop them.

And yet so many are responding to this Brittany bullshit, thread after thread, page after page, Ad nauseam.
Li’l Miss Ellie …

Oh look, another MSM article about Brittany….
Pull back the spring on the pinball machine and let the ball fly.
Spoke too soon. Hissy fit from eldest son on the phone. Problem with his sibling, they’ve had a spat over a computer, so he’s not prepared to share a car up here (which I will drive down to Redfern, to collect them Christmas morning), feels insulted and manipulated by sibling and shouting and angry, pours it all over me. Maybe I won’t come at all, he threatens.
Eff off then, says Hairy, can’t they ever leave you alone? When are these two men going to grow up?
Sadly for this one calling in, never, I sigh. It’s part of his autism problem to take easy offense, to confuse what’s going on, and he’s stressing and bereft because his on-and-off partner has taken his child to New York for Christmas. I just don’t want to cope with it tonight.
I like Tina Turner’s music but they should have left out the River Deep Mountain High song from the Carols in the Domain. I’m glad the cast of the Tina Turner show followed it up by a gospel song.
Miss Ellie – very special to you always, Rabzie.
Lover of beautiful goils.
We tried people for war crimes and executed them because they killed people under orders.
This is the Nuremberg Defence. The repudiation of this is that there are laws above laws. Or are you equating the Western alliance with Nazism and Nippon.
But it’s OK for us, because we were on the winning side that time.
Yes and we followed due process based on the above distinction.
Your position as it applies to Israel which is following Western principles and the pallis who are proven monsters is shit.
Ahmed Fouad Ali, interesting thread
I just listened to a live Twitter discussion in Arabic hosted by multiple Palestinian dissidents & activists, many from #Gaza, titled: “Gazan perspectives trample the opinions of Twitter Mujahideen.” They tore into #Hamas & offered opinions on the war in Gaza. Key points:
Psychopathic factions within Hamas, led by Sinwar & al-Deif, launched the Oct. 7 attack thinking that Iran, Shia militias & Hezbollah would launch a full-on regional war against Israel/its allies. Instead, the group was left to fend for itself; its backers gave faint support
Nobody from CBUS will give good answers. They obviously think it’s their money to play with, but we got it done this week.
Relative who is a plumber same. CBUS do treat it like it’s their own, he also had a SMSF that due to the union rules the worksite had to pay into CBUS not his SMSF but he waited till he left that site before transferring his money.
Funny thing too is dad had similar issues with whatever super the TWU ran 20 years ago now.

2 minutes.
“WTF are you on about?”
That’s what I was asking about the Steve Inman thing.
The Public Image, Cats … 🙂
The huge Merry Christmas sign over the Carols in the Domain stage is a definite proof that Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings are not enough. Things are turning back to tradition.
I agree in principle that copious bullshit is flowing (despite my Daily Mail style comments today).
However, it’s not about prurience, or washer person gossip. There is a massive set of legal/political/governance issues sitting behind the twaddle about how Brinny spends the loot.
And it all points towards serious institutional corruption of the system that is supposed to exist to support Australia.
Beethoven’s Song Of Joy is being sung now to a fireworks display. Glorious.
Slainte to all you hairy mob!
Geseënde Kersfees en Gelukkige Nuwe Jaar aan almal op die Kat!
Rockdoctor, re CBUS, the evil bastards, I am now helping out a mate’s son, recently left underground mining, his super is with what used to be the Miners Federation super fund, but CBUS has some control over it. Like our son, he is in early 40s, wants to get it out of union hands, having same trouble.
Time to find some Christmas music that hasn’t been played a gazillion times on commercial radio.
Found!

“At least the Sydney Hobart race will go ahead, rain or shine.”
Maybe for not much longer.
Boofhead Bowen the moron is intent on building two massive floating windmill estates off the Illawarra and Newcastle/Port Stephens, 10-25k offshore, directly in the path of all shipping, commercial and recreational fishing and whale migration. And directly on the Sydney-Hobart race path.
Early days yet, but the man has no ear to consequences.
Yes. I also get it why people get sick of 24/7 ‘oggins.
Tim Wilson may have some insights into CBUS and their stranglehold grip.
We went to a small town – very, very small town – Christmas Carols last night. Part of our parish, it was great to see so many from our church driving the 40 KM to participate.
Such a simple, unsophisticated event, yet so enthusiastic and sincere in welcoming everyone who attended. Of course, Santa arrived in the fire truck with lights flashing and sirens blaring, and a gazillion excited children running behind. And a pop up Karen rabbitting something about OH&S, completely ignored.
Free sausage sizzle and gifts for all, most provided by the wonderful volunteers in our church. A wonderful evening.
Too many wonderfuls.
Edit at your leisure.
Thanks for that re Stake Super, Dot.
I will pass it on to our son’s mate, I know there are quite a few of these lads in their late 30s/early 40s who are having a real thing about moving money out of CBUS, as they do not trust the union or the fund.
Spot on commentary from the Rev.
You go back, you stay there.

Ahmed Fouad Ali, interesting thread
This is a really interesting insight. But look what has been initiated –
The overhaul of prospects for Palestinians after the moribund Oslo.
A world wide genocidal uprising against Jews.
Transparency of the depraved antisemitism in western academia.
Part positive for Jewish interests, part negative. But nothing positive for the lives of Palestinians, except if anyone believes hatred of Jews in other countries improves the lives of Arabs in “Palestine”.
But it hasn’t placed on the agenda – at least not yet
Dissolution of UNWRA and retraction of annual anti-Israel resolutions.
Retraction of anti-Israel reports of “human rights” NGOs.
A personal opinion – this core rot would have been a target in a second term of Trump. His defunding of UNWRA was a small start.

Correct, and a leader of a main political party that happened to be in opposition at the time, along with senior members of that party weaponised a rape allegation for political and ideological reasons to bring down a sitting right of centre government. I think this warrants serious analysis. But here is what is worse, if that’s possible, and that is that the allegation in question has, over the course of the last three years, destroyed lives, ruined political careers, resulted in a failed criminal prosecution, and ended up with a new Labor government quickly and quietly paying hush money to the originator of this ‘allegation’, that money being over two million dollars of OUR MONEY. It was hush money for services rendered.
The bullshit that the Liberals had a “women problem” was confected from the beginning, orchestrated to permanently damage the Morrison government, and it worked a treat, primarily Morrison was inept. They fell for it hook, line and sinker.
