40 years at the ALPBC. Talk about Hotel California Ultimo.
Haha. The new lead story at Paywallian.com: China tells other world leaders: be like AlbaneseBeijing has nominated Anthony Albanese as…
Still stuck on the 45. Yeah, people sometimes get stuck on facts. That appears to be a real problem, yeah?…
Presumably the only way to get a Mexican to mow your lawn for the next 4 years.
Beau could be brazening it out.
Did he go hire the white van after killing them or was it part of the plan?
Does he think no bodies, no conviction?
Or that his celebrity will allow him to skate?
Awaiting instructions.
Post sensibly JC. Forget the abuse.
We know you can do it.
There’s a column in to be had in Albanese’s intervention to get one of your rugby players into the US, after failing a club-based “has a problem with women” finding.

It sounds like a two year old trying to say Potato. And failing.
Does it have something to do with adult nappies as well?
I haven’t kept up with the music scene, it’s obvious.
An erection? An orgasm? Curious minds.
Mother Load:
Damn you.
You mentioned ‘fritters’ and I just had to make some.
30 minutes later and the entire batch gone, and I feel sick.
Next time I have to put some chutney or PMU sauce in the batter.
Hyphen-Soybean thinks he has an ace up his sleeve.
Probably thinks he can bargain down his sentence by revealing where the bodies are at a suitable point.
Or he thinks he can be a man of mystery by keeping the location to himself for future years. Bradley Murdoch who murdered Peter Falconio in the NT has the same attitude.
Falco’s dead. Tried a 911 trick, but didn’t work out.
I never saw him, but wifey and the kid have, perched on the side of buildings.
Greetings, Winston.
Still getting off on animals in distress?
You haven’t got mate in the NT who likes crocodiles and raping pups have you?
Not that Albo’s claim that he attended Raheen to discuss cost of living pressures is remotely true, but imagine being an industry titan glorying in your success and power and having that little beta male pulling your elbow while you are trying to perve on Katy Perry.
Andrew Bolt:
A disgraceful effort by Plod.
In a he said she said. Must have been the standard method, not special treatment for the artist.
I saw these some of her works at a special exhibition in Naples last year.
I doubt she’d have appreciated being thrown in with modern feminists.
in perspective
A good question Winston.
Did the Sleaze or his squeeze need to wear Pop’s Pads to the concert?
Albo’s claim that he attended Raheen to discuss cost of living pressures
did the little creep really say that?
Good lord.
What do know is I shan’t be going to that crazy place any time soon, unless hunting and very well armed.
I wanna see some crazy #%*€ try to go to chest to chest with a croc.
Just before a bloody death:
“Not many people know this, but crocodile skin is incredibly smooth, and hard, like me…”
I’d be worried, whomever they are if they have a little red car.
At the end of the day, you are not responsible for other people, not even by association.
It’s not your job to fix things you did not break.
Be grateful I didn’t work ‘whole roasted ox’ into the comment.
Hyphen-Soybean thinks he has an ace up his sleeve.
Whatever he does, he’s in Long Bay for a fair while.
Short life expectancy, poove &plod credentials will ensure that.
He’ll top himself – hope it’s before any trial to save the expense.
Taylor Swifties?
My word yes.

You are correct about Monty Roger.
And there is zero chance Aaron is a JC sock puppet.
He’s just a very sincere animal lover.
NY AG Letitia James has sworn to “Investigate this tragedy wheresoever it leads, and to bring Trump to justice. Again.”
Scott Morris took his family to the Swift concert.
Third time as they all went in 2015 and 2018.
Albanese carousing to Shake It Off though.
The very first time I’ve seen the name Aaron was when the turtlehead was spraying insults toward me earlier today for some unknown reason.
If the turtlehead doesn’t like him, he must have some attributes.
Has turtlehead eaten the Cat?
He’s thinkin weekend at Bernie’s.

Cats – can the gliberals win Dunkley, I asks ya?
From what I can gather, they’re running a candidate who may just be a chance (for a change).
Although why any allegedly normal person would place “Mayor of Frankston” on their CV is beyond me. 😕
Dot Shillington sez:
https://www.libertarians.org.au/dunkley
VOTE FOR CHRYSTEN ( – sorry I can’t bribe you like insufferable, anti democratic soy enjoyer, John Oliver).
This is not the first time I’ve been astonished to see police arresting the peaceful and not the violent to, ha, “keep the peace”.
But this is the first time I’ve seen filmed proof of the falsehoods they tell to hide this disgrace – their betrayal of their motto to actually “uphold the right”.
State police (both NSW & Vic) are not the sole source of this “selective” process of determining the lawbreakers. I suspect that the advice of our senior advisers in relation to Terrorism have advised the state plods against “interference” in the hostile attacks on the Jewish community. Indeed, my recollection is that this has been confirmed at least in NSW.
I think(in my humble opinion) that our Terrorism units are quite wrong re this advice on many fronts. Retreat has never been successful against the followers of militant Islam. I am frankly surprised that advisers have (if they have) pursued this line of thinking.
Now this is an observation re tactical effectiveness. In relation to the principles of our democracy and the recognition of human rights – there is NO justification for refusing to uphold the rights of Jews and other supporters of Israel to defend their beliefs.
I hope there is a recognition in the wider community of the danger of this choice of reaction to the campaigns in support of Hamas.
Hello, Bespoke!
Who cares? It’s like watching two drunks having a fight in the gutter in Kings Cross. Mildly interesting but completely irrelevant to anything.
I came across the word ‘furative’ in a detective book and tried to look it up on the interwebzy thingo via Google. It gave me any number of definitions of ‘furtive’ which I don’t need, and not one definition of furative. Is there a decent dictionary on the interwebzy thingo?
It’s back to the 1930s Cats – grab a pair of Jackboots while you can, before they’re sold out. 😕
The trustee boots I’ll be using to cave in the thick empty skulls of many, many moozleys … 🙂

Ockham’s Razor… it’s a typo
“furtive”
Tho my shorter OED gives “Furacious”, given to thievery, from the L furax, thief.
Got to force it. In context with that topic it appears to mean a sudden movement towards a weapon in a confrontational situation. But it also looks to be a preservation reagent for biological samples, although ‘fixative’ seems to also be used in that context.
Getting anything useful out of Goolag requires a bit of art these days. The AI turning George Washington into a black guy was fun.
We might need to summon the Deadman.
Prepare the scrying mirror and obsidian knife.
Furtive may mean thievery or theft-like and furative may mean thief-like or the actions like that of a thief.
The tens of declensions a word can have in Latin are mind-boggling to dabblers.

Don’t be defeatist, BoN. I think we should all care very much who wins the bye election. The outcome will send a strong message to both parties.
For the first time in ages, I hope LNP win. Dutton has already shown backbone – raising the nuclear debate and pushing the No vote – and providing that he’s not stymied by his own party, I have confidence that he has what it takes to lead LNP to a win at the next election.
Let’s remind ourselves of what a germ Winston is.
Winston Smith.
Feb 23, 2024 6:51 PM
“Good Lord.
The mob across the street have just pulled up. They’ve gone into house and left the new dog in the vehicle – windows are down a bit and the engine still running so assumption is that the aircon is on.
The vehicle is rocking as the dog jumps around the inside of the car. So far I haven’t seen it but it’s started barking. I thought it was yelping. But it’s not. It’s barking.
No. It’s squeaking.
Just stuck its head through the gap of the window, and now it’s squeaking as it dangles from it’s neck.
Perhaps I should go and help?
No, I shouldn’t be a busy body.
Ten minutes later and the rat is still squeaking. Just not as loudly.
I should film this for Utube.
The Dangling Rat Story Continues:
It’s now 32 minutes and the rat is suspiciously quiet. The ‘parents’ have finally left the ‘ouse, giggling over something.
Giggles turn to shouts of dismay, as mum sees the rat dangling from the passenger window.
Car drives off.
Well that’s the entertainment for Friday over. I wish I could have slipped a camera into the car but that would have meant winding the window down, and incidentally allowing the rat to breathe.
Also breaking and entering”.
Cats, can youse answer a question that AI can’t?
Looking to remember a children’s book, beginner’s series I think, about a kid throwing a party and imagining the life that an unknown/unliked kid down the street has, as a mental excuse not to invite him. Refrain is “but I won’t invite Xxxx Xxxxxx”, final line is the reticent “I think that I will invite Xxxx Xxxxxx”.
Ringing any bell? Bing AI put me onto.. I kid ye not “Guess How Much I Love You”.
An example: Luigi the tax gatherer.
Always good to revisit.

Actually not ‘breaking and entering.’
More details about Hyphen-Soyboy:
It is alleged he then stored the pistol in a suburban police station, though detectives did not specify which one, before taking sick leave on Tuesday and failing to return to work on Wednesday.
and
Lamarre-Condon worked at the NSW Police Force Youth Command as a ‘youth engagement officer’ with schoolchildren in Sydney’s south.
The role saw him travel around the suburbs of Rockdale, Kingsgrove and Bexley acting as a point of contact between schools, community groups and NSW Police.
He would run programs with kids to help keep them on the right path.

Turtlehead reckons I’m Aaron, but I never saw the dog story until now. I just assumed he’d devoured the cat.
This is the person who claims he had a heart transplant, meaning a person was good enough to donate the organ to a prick who thought a pooch dangling through a car window was funny and wanted to film it for a youtube video. He left the dog to die and referred to it as a rat. Total feral.
One would certainly think so.
Risk Management 101 tells us that the perceived probability of an outraged Mohammedan ‘doing something’ multiplied by the public consequences of an explody/stabby session = High Risk.
From a public administration perspective it’s a no-brainer. On balance, over the side they go…
Australian society has ended up under a glass.
For the first time in ages, I hope LNP win. Dutton has already shown backbone – raising the nuclear debate and pushing the No vote – and providing that he’s not stymied by his own party, I have confidence that he has what it takes to lead LNP to a win at the next election.
Agree 100%- I can’t ever see myself rejoining the LP but I support Advance Australia and have been very impressed by their efforts. I know they are working very hard in Dunkley.
I’m not defeatist, I just don’t want either bunch to win. Until Dutton dumps net zero they are the enemy as much as Labor is.
So on that basis I think I’d prefer Labor to win. That way someone in the Liberal Party might then actually ask themselves what is it that they’re doing wrong.
(Hint: why would anyone vote for Labor lite when you could have the real thing?)

It’s not a typo, thieving from Latin furate is just barely possible. I insisted to Google search that I meant what I wrote, but it didn’t believe me. I got a few references which themselves may well have been typos, then page after page of furtive.
I am not favourably impressed by Google.

Advance Australia is doing good work in Dunkley with ad trucks pointing out such liar disasters as the release of illegal immigrant criminals some of who may be in Dunkley.
The liar candidate is also a total bitch claiming:
Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, Jodie Belyea, has been urged to explain comments about the Voice referendum campaign after saying the “worst of white privilege” had been on display.
Almost 56 per cent of voters in Dunkley did not support establishing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament at last year’s referendum.
In comments on a LinkedIn post, Yes advocate Ms Belyea wrote: “I feel so many heavy emotions because of the display of what I can only describe as the worst of white privilege in this country.”
Leading No campaigner and NT senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said it was “an absurd smear on people who voted No, and especially a smear on those who voted No in Dunkley”.
“The Prime Minister foisted a divisive Voice referendum on the people of Dunkley,” Senator Price said.
“Does the Prime Minister stand by his hand-picked candidate for Dunkley’s comments on the Voice? And will the Labor candidate clarify her statement?”
Until Dutton dumps net zero they are the enemy as much as Labor is.
Actually no. The anal administration has proved it’s possible to be worse than scummo.
Oh, grate, just when you thought that Santa Sabina uniforms could not get any more unsexy – collectivist crones breach the barrier …
Thank goodness my cousin’s two beautiful young dottirs are out of there.
Every female in my direct family was educated there Cats, so the achievement of subterranean new lows in non aesthetic pleasingness will be noted.
In the meantime, there are schoolgoils getting around in the Sydney CBD in tartan micro-minis. If I hadn’t seen it I wouldn’t have believed it. 😕
She has the maddest eyes I’ve seen on a woman; and I’ve seen some mad eyes.
That’s about the same time you wipe your todger on the curtains and told the chick her mother was better?
Cohenite, it’s her “I need your vote but I despise all of you” deplorables moment. Advance would be making the entire seat cognisant of her misplaced moral superiority of them.
FMD what has been seen cannot be unseen. Albo dancing to Taylor Swift. Wowee.
This farting about over starting a conversation about nuclear power is so limp it makes month old lettuce look positively priapic.
Decisive it ain’t. Looks sad and apologetic.
Pull your finger out Dutton and promise if elected that you will build five nuclear power stations urgently, one each in each major state. Then do the usual this will create a thousand billion jerbs press releases. Back it up with Autocad graphics and expert talking heads and real audited costings. For extra credit buy Chinese, since they can actually build the things before everyone on the project team dies of old age.
Better still commit to ditching net zero and the climate scam, and legislate to keep all existing coal fired power stations open until such time as they are replaced by another power station of equal spinning reserve capacity.
I am disgusted by how weak the Libs are on this. They need some Trumpian balls.
Of course most of the Liberal Party has been subverted by the Kean Greens, so I suspect the only answer is for the party to die horribly and be replaced with a real right wing party. The Nats look in nearly as terminal shape.
That’s about the same time you wipe your todger on the curtains and told the chick her mother was better?
Could be. What else did you see through the window. My memory is a bit hazy.
So this ALP candidate is a ‘community leader’ and something called ‘wimmin’s spirit’. It’s hard to find a full bio.
I care not for rats.
Here’s a commentator who believes that Biden will win the next USA election (through cheating or otherwise) & then will resign in favour of Kamala Harris. Dems know that Harris is otherwise unelectable.
Interesting article on Sasha Stone’s substack:
Any other president at any other time in American history would be sweating. But Joe Biden isn’t.
It reminds me of this scene from the movie Quiz Show where the investigator, played by Rob Morrow, corners the President of NBC, played by Allan Rich, in an elevator. We have finally got you, Morrow says. Oh yeah? Rich says. Then why are you the one that’s sweating?
And so it goes with the Biden administration.
But there is no hiding it. Nate Silver is worried. The New York Times is worried. Politico is worried. Rolling Stone is worried. It’s so bad that they’ve given up towing the party line and are actually speaking out for the first time since Biden took office. They’re desperate for Biden to step aside and give the job to someone, anyone who will stop Trump.
But of course, he must realize that no white man could leapfrog over Kamala Harris. And that is the tell. If they genuinely believed Trump was the Greatest Threat to Democracy America has ever faced, they would sacrifice their woke bona fides and usher in Gavin Newsom.
Why are they doing nothing? Because Joe Biden has bigger plans for his legacy. He will win in 2024 and then step down, elevating the first Woman of Color to President of the United States.
No, Joe Biden isn’t leaving. They’re going to have to rip the presidency from his cold, dead hands. There is no way he is passing up the chance to make history. Years from now, when the dust settles, all that will remain is the face of Kamala Harris right alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR. The person who will get the credit for that is not Harris, who did nothing to earn her place, but Joe Biden.
Kamala Harris, they tell us, can’t win an election in the United States, but Biden will ensure the public must accept her as their leader anyway. And that tells you everything you need to know about what Biden thinks about all of us. His legacy matters more than we do, more than our country does.
His enormous ego means he would never step aside because of public pressure, like LBJ.
Even with a Kennedy looming on the horizon like a harbinger, Biden would never see himself as another Jimmy Carter. Trump isn’t Reagan, he no doubt assured himself, even as he trails Trump in the polls.
Biden Isn’t Sweating the Polls.
As long as Team Blue hasn’t changed their minds much, Biden knows he’s covered. He’s not worried about the independents and the undecideds. They will be taken care of with deep pockets and ballot harvesting. They’ll easily bank enough votes in the swing states to win; at least, that is what Biden thinks, and why shouldn’t he? So far, so good.
Polls don’t tell you who will turn out and who will stay home on Election Day. In 2016, polls favored Clinton so much that voters in the swing states stayed home. The polls gave them a good reason not to bother.
The New York Times gave Clinton a chance of winning by over 80%. In addition to blaming Bernie Sanders, Jim Comey, Putin, Facebook and the media, the Clinton campaign would blame lazy voters who didn’t turn out because they assumed she would win.
That was one of the things the Democrats would take care of heading into 2020. Eliminate the need to motivate voters to turn out. Pick up their ballots instead.
This is what the 538 polling looked like heading into 2020:
Had the Democrats not implemented their ballot harvesting scheme funded heavily by $400 million from Mark Zuckerberg, there is a chance the Trump side could have surged on Election Day. From Politico:
Most of the error came from underestimating Trump’s support, as opposed to overestimating Biden’s. Comparing the final election results to the poll numbers for each candidate, Trump’s support was understated by a whopping 3.3 points on average, while Biden’s was overstated by a point — turning what looked like a solid Biden lead into a closer, if still decisive, race.
Trump had them on their heels, winning not just the bellwether counties, but the all-important trifecta of Florida, Iowa, and Ohio. But there was no way they could catch up to the ballots the Democrats had collected long before Election Day.
Now, as we head into 2024, Trump is leading Biden by almost 2 points. He never led Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Joe Biden in 2020.
So why isn’t Biden sweating? If Trump is so dangerous, as they all insist he is, why are they playing with fire? Because it’s been a long con from the beginning. They never believed Trump was dangerous. They didn’t want someone in power they could not buy off or control. It was an unreality foisted on the American people as their actual reality.
They didn’t like that he gave a voice to the working class they had abandoned long ago. It was never about Trump; it was about the people he brought into the room, people whose needs they did not want to address – people they routinely throw away like human garbage. As Batya Ungar-Sargon explains:
Ever since 2020, America feels like a ghost town, with all of us numbly going through the motions and pretending that this is what our country is supposed to be like. It’s not.
When the Democrats took control of the media narrative, for fear of the now-defunct blue-check army on Twitter, none of us could have a shared reality. Each side is told a completely different version of the day’s events.
A new counterculture might be building outside the system on sites like Rumble and Substack, but for now, the Big Tech overlords have almost complete control of our perceptions of reality. They don’t care about the older generations; they are targeting the young people coming of age online. They believe if they can condition them not to be RACISTS, they can change the world.
Sounds good, right? But the price we all pay is a disconnect from reality, like having a president who is too old but can be carefully edited and delivered to Gen-Z in meme form. Who would ever be the wiser?
Unreality is what defines the Left now.
It’s like Google Gemini. They don’t tell you the truth about the past, present, or future. And they shame you for even knowing there was once such a thing as a white family, a white scientist, a white leader, as though the word “white” is somehow evil.
Here is a search I did before they apologized and tweaked the algorithm.
But if you think Gemini is the only Big Tech AI out there that is “woke,” think again. This is the entire worldview of the Left. This is our new normal if we don’t find a way to stop it.
Corruption Unbound
Any one story about what’s happened to the Biden presidency since the disastrous exit from Afghanistan would have brought down any other president. But Joe Biden is either too powerful or his former boss is too powerful for anyone to notice or to care.
While the corruption scandal involving Joe Biden and son Hunter is heating up, an overt cover-up is going down at CBS News. This is worse than the Watergate break-in if it turns out either Joe Biden or his former boss, Barack Obama, are involved.
CBS is refuting the story, as reported in AdWeek. Only Conservative outlets have been reporting on it, at least for now.
It’s hard to believe CBS would fire such a good reporter as Herridge, but perhaps she was saying things the administration didn’t like. A viewer captured this story just before Herridge was fired.
It’s hard not to think of Michael Mann’s The Insider, a film made by an industry that still believed in holding the powerful to account and was not too afraid to tell this story.
The GOP in the House is hot on the trail, doing the job investigative journalists used to do.
Joe Biden isn’t sweating. Be he should be.
The Trump side doesn’t have to do much to close the gap in the swing states. They do have to compete with money, ballot harvesting, and mail-in ballots. But if they can do that, Trump can win.
The true story of the rise of Donald Trump has never been told in the mainstream. Instead, they’ve sold a dangerous lie. They keep selling the lie because they know there is no chance the people they think matter will ever want to know the truth.
Even if you don’t like Trump, or you think he’d be a terrible president, or you think he lies, whatever Trump is, he’s not what they’ve said he was.
They have lied about him, which means we’ve all been living with this lie, which has destroyed us, divided us, and made it impossible to see what is real and what isn’t. To the Left, to get rid of Trump will mean they get their utopia back.
And that is how a society gets to gulags, concentration camps, and segregation. We’re almost there now. That so many of the country’s richest and most powerful people have gone along with this grand delusion means there are no safeguards against the worst inclinations of our species.
Once the deception unravels and the truth becomes unavoidable, the people will be angry at Joe Biden. Nobody likes being duped. He said he was a moderate, but it turned out to be anything but. He cared more about his legacy than the safety and protection of the American people. He said he would unite us, but we’re more polarized than ever.
The only thing propping Biden up is the shared delusion on the Left that guarantees fear, because fear is the only reason anyone would vote for Joe Biden.

Rosie – That’s only them not knowing what the definition is. If it is a technical term like this one you may need specialist sources. For example the word “crud” has a highly technical and exact meaning in my business. It means a material which accumulates at the interface between the organic and aqueous phases in a solvent extraction mixer-settler. Everyone in my business knows that’s the meaning of the word. But a simple search of ‘crud def’ won’t get you that definition unless you know something sufficiently specific to force the search.
Err, erratically gyrating to the blonde airhead’s (BIRM) hideously awful “songs” – if they could be gifted with such a term.
A real, proper blonde showing how it’s done, Cats.
The licks purveyed in the carpark at the beginning being part of the business. 🙂
Just ignore The Thurston. He’s been traduced.
The jury is in, Cats. There is no English definition, although I’m happy to fabricate one, if you’d like 🙂
Bruce is right, Dutton needs to get more assertive on abandoning net zero and embrace nuke power, stopping the green ruinable disaster and getting behind coal.
He also needs to get serious on reducing Govt size, cut immigration to less than 100k pa, cut foreign aid, cut taxes and excise, auditing the indig industry and a RC on child abuse in the communities.
There are no vote losses in any of those issues and plenty to be gained.
Have a good time, BBS.

IIRC Winston has been beset by feral neighbours with feral, incessantly barking, dogs. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to read rule .22LR to such creatures.
Roger, I gave you what I thought was an accurate report on the evacuated hospital residents after the Beaufort fires. Brother informed me today that those residents are still in Ballarat, their travel plans changed by the heat, wind and dry lightning expected from Wednesday.
He has, as always, a pragmatic view of it all: if the house burns down, damn! So much paper work for the insurance company. OTOH, he doesn’t have to clean it.
For example, one of his characters by way of invective calls someone a ‘scybalum’. I am saving it up for any particularly egregious behaviour of one of the fatuous class.
From TE’s link, earlier:
Ah yes. ‘Youth engagement officer’.
It is said by some, and in certain circles that ‘youth engagement officers’ are selected for their inability to perform basic general duties in divisional vans, and also attract volunteers who are keen for day jobs and don’t want to do shift work.
‘Specialist unit’ indeed. Pfft.
LOL!
Rosie.
Please don’t use the word “plan” in relation to this bozo.
I assumed he had torched the van.
But, no.
I saw on the news tonight the van being loaded on to a tow-truck.
Outwardly in pristine condition.
Ho, boy! The interior of that van will be an El Dorado of forensic evidence, potentially linking the Three Amigos to each other.
What a maroon.
He is so dumb that he thinks that the Mount Everest of circumstantial evidence won’t be worth anything without the bodies.
All the absence of bodies will do is keep him in the clink for life.
Possibly. No doubt he is an uber-narcissist. I think he totally over-estimates his status as a celebrity hanger-on. I will bet that at some point he has squeaked, “I cannot believe this is happening to me!”
If you want evidence of the narcissism, there are 2-3 separate photos of him in uniform on the job. These are not merely happy snaps on the i-phone. They are carefully staged and framed “publicity shot” type photos.
Dafuq is that rabz? Bike shorts and a security guard blazer?
I’m having the same problem with ‘fissidity’. I get from Google a link for ‘fissibility’ which demands I pay money to find out from the OED. It tells me for free that the word has been used only once since the seventeenth century . And has a frequency of one in a hundred million words.
In the same book of course.
As long as he’s holding together, Delta.
Thank you!
Pol – the latest statement from Santa on those wonderous new uniforms:
Santa Spokesthang: “We are not willing to run the risk of the carbon based lifeforms attending this presdidigitous learning centre being sexually objectified evah, I tells ya!”
And then everyone with a functioning brain went off and desperately searched for a bucket. 😕
Mrs Stencho Pantyhose. Please count your paragraphs as you are on thin ice. In fact you will run out of breeches the way that you are not going.
You hypocrite
The best I can do is furtive means concealed from the old meaning of stolen or from thieves, and furative means related to furtive activities or the furtherance of furtive actions or the actions of thievery or the furtherance of being a thief or clandestine operator.
Furtively, Agent 007 dispatched the three NPC guards with a single round between the eyes each, using his furative silenced Walther PPK chambered in 0.32 ACP with seven in the clip and one in the hole, using heavy, smokeless powder-propelled subsonic rounds. Each stroke of the angel Azrael’s poisoned sword sounded like a mere dry firing. A cap gun would have brought more attention to any boys playing Marshal Will Kane vs the Nazis.

I am getting the distinct impression that this job was firstly a source of cash to finance Constable Hyphen-Soyboy’s hobbies with minimum effort, and knowing any complaints of slacking can be fended off with a counter-claim of homophobia.
Secondly, the job would provide him with a level of access to advance his hobby. That is, inventing the job of VIP Protection for himself, and making contact with celebrities. The other access question which would be interesting to follow up would be how many unauthorised searches he has made on the Plod Database … both celebrities and random hot guys he might see driving around.
Unlikely, he never harrassed me.
To paraphrase Kissinger, the US government doesn’t have friends, it has interests.
Steady on, champ.
Dover was talking about slabs of cut ‘n paste shit from easily linked websites, like the one run by Marty Armstrong the Fraudster.

Please report to Mrs Stencho Pantyhose for your breeches as well as the Blog Owner for said violation
As Mrs Stencho says – You are on thin ice and the Stencho is monitoring you. LOL
Guaranteed those enquiries have been made. From reading the noos, they are red hot on that.
Sooooo hot right now.
Report for a pair of tight pants? What?
Oh, you meant ‘breaches’.
Once again – another (fake) Pom inconversant with his own language.
Upset fake Pom is upset.
Primarily with the inability to converse in his own (apparent) language.
I am beginning to get the impression the fake Pom is in fact a Fillo, like his ladyboy friend.
Sorry Mrs Stencho Pantyhose. You were the one going about me doing just 2 paras. Thin ice? Lol. You have a short memor.
And it was another poster who complained first.
Dover has made the rule so just talk to Vicki the two of you. If you want to be a Blog Milk Monitor that is along with the Stoush Nurse. Junior Cretin.
Iodine Betty killed a dog?
Really?
Are you kidding me?
There’s a reason why I’ve labelled the Libs (Never heard of ‘The Nats.’ Are they an actual party?) as the Festering Zombies: It’s because politically, they’ve been stone-cold dead for a long time, but few of their voters want to acknowledge that status. I get it; you become attached not to something or someone, but to the IDEA of that something or someone. You might realise at some point that your perception is not the same as the perception of others, but acknowledging that is a whole other Taylor Swift album.
Plus, in the Right Light, these zombies appear as though they are moving, and talking, and … maybe, possibly, could they be … thinking? So we stick with what we know and what is comfortable. It’s a very normal human trait. Change is rarely something we choose, but is often thrust upon us. It is especially difficult when the change involves walking away from part of our identity. A Conservative voter. A sugar addict. A T-Swizzle uber-fan.
Just like the TaySwiff, the dripping zombies are not our friends. They see us only as prey. Again, just like Taylor Swift. Without a carpet of zombie corpses (No, that’s not a euphemism for Anti-Swizzles to break the lore (sic), there will be no opportunity for a fresh party (lesbian vampires maybe?) to rise and roam.
Forget the Festering Zombie Party – They don’t even realise you exist.
Seems like this is a Blog where rules can be broken.
Just heard Sam Crosby say that Dominic Perrottet is his best friend. Sam ran as a Labor candidate in elections and his wife, Rose Jackson, is a minister in the Minns government. No wonder Perrottet was such a dreadful Liberal premier, his heart was not in it and he probably would have been an average Labor premier. Is there anybody in the Liberals who is not compromised*.
*I don’t want politicians who want my vote to fraternise with the enemy.
BTW Where is the Stoush Nurse? The one who wanted to be a Male Nurse. Maybe went to Thailand to be a Nurse Ladyboy.
Because you don’t understand them.
Because you don’t understand English.
Or Engrish.
Cats – FFS, enough debatage about the non existent term “furative”.
The Doc should just accept that it was typo, not some mysterious word used (widely or otherwise) in the muddle ages.
“They spent a furative day together avoiding the telescreens and the cleverly hidden microphones”, said no one, evah.
Sacré bleu.
Big questions on how he manipulated the system to get the Glock out and even more over how it could ever be considered as a suitable recruit for NSW Plod. Apart from gay hiring targets to fill the Mardi Gras float.
Constable Lamarre-Condon was charged on Friday with two counts of murder, and remains behind bars on remand where he is allegedly refusing to speak to homicide detectives.
Police sources said a review was underway of Constable Lamarre-Condon’s claim he was doing a user pays shift, and also of his psychological profiling which allowed him entry to the force in 2018.
And NSW plod ignored this!
The Daily Telegraph can reveal Constable Lamarre-Condon often posted photos of himself wearing his gun on social media, which is understood to be a breach of the police media policy
Two things.
1. I have explained it to you in Engrish. The 2 para rule applies to slabs of shit lifted from the Fraudster Marty Armstrong’s website (which he, in turn, has usually lifted from somewhere else). It isn’t about original writings put up by posters.
2. This is a private blog run by D’Over O’Beach. He can apply the rules with any level of discretion he chooses. Take it to the Blog High Court. Oh, wait … there isn’t one.
Now go run a bath for the Lady Boy.
They seem to be capable of ignoring quite a bit of late.
Cats, this is not good. Could we please stop attacking each other about the most imaginary pre-fabricated rubbish?
There are many, many other thaings we can whip* ourselves into a self righteous frenzy about.
labore and greenfilth politicians, for starters. 🙂
*Term used advisedly

It wouldn’t surprise me.
What?
I have heard that is straight-out sackable, regardless of who you are, where you work, length of service or homo counter-claims of nastiness.
Someone, somewhere high up in NSW Plod has a sphincter going five-cent fifty-cent right now. Sweating bullets, as they say.
And what was said late the other night as the Angel Gabriel visited the Plonker –
Words along the lines of – “I am bored and drunk and depressed”
How true of the FW1
Come on down Junior Cretin
Nope. Fissidity means something like divisiveness, from the Latin. Were my Latin less faded, I could work out furative.
The summoning of deadman didn’t work. He’d have been able to tell me what was furative about a cow lifting up a gate with its head, I have little doubt.
I don’t see a problem with that.
KD – you don’t exist in the same state as I do, Squire.
No one in NSW plod is giving a rodent’s backside about whatever lurid allegations might be dredged up about the “gay, celebrity chasing, manslaughtering, homosexual, police officer alleged to have killed a braindead FTA TV presenter and the subsequent meeja imbroglio”.
If you can ride out an inexcusable obscenity like October Nine, you can ride out anything.

What Aaaaron doesn’t realise is that no one has the right to break into another persons car to do anything, and that when the people who ARE responsible for their dogs entrapment are inside a house that is guarded by 3 pigdogs, it’s not my duty to put myself in danger over THEIR failure to keep their pets safe.
No Mrs Stencho Pantyhose
You tried to be cute with your post to me about being on thin ice and that you are watching me. Lol
Well you being the A Licker for the Stoush Nurse. You look after your breeches. Maybe you are one of those Horsey people.
Or, most probably a horses arse.
Big questions on how he manipulated the system to get the Glock out and even more over how it could ever be considered as a suitable recruit for NSW Plod
According to my mates in the force, the NSW police have a massive recruiting problem. The attrition rate is big. Due the way they were used by the politicians: i.e. COVID enforcement and the BLM rubbish. The dykes rule.
As I said upthread, there are a few photos floating around of him in uniform which aren’t merely photos taken in passing.
They were clearly posed Insta-moments.
So there was enough time out a busy shift chasing crooks for the odd Tik-Tok moment.
Breaches.
Again.
Wodney.
Easy, tiger.
Get the lady-boy to give you a massage.
Maybe even happy ending.
You’re stressed out, champ.
My Latin remains with me, Doc – so here we go:
“Furative” (N), a portmanteau of Furtive and Figurative, example of usage: “Muttley furtively sought to avoid being denounced as a figurative imbecile, but his pathetic efforts were not even remotely furative.”
I tells ya! 🙂

Questions around Constable Hyphen-Soyboy.
1. How did he pass the psych vetting at recruitment? Or did he?
2. He tasered a guy in the face a couple of years ago, and was cleared by an internal investigation. The other guy copped a few trumped up charges as cover. Why?
3. How did the social media photos with the gun get missed?
4. Ditto for the general self-promotion of personal profile and business ventures while he was on the job. Why wasn’t the chain pulled on that?
Dunkley should be VERY interesting. You can bet da bruvvas will be paying close attention.
A global phenomenon just being a normal goil.
This is why I find her so zeexee … 😕
Mr Panzer at 8.35;
This is a gigantic shitshow, put directly in place by a plod hierarchy terrified of being unpopular with 1% max of the population, and who have become accustomed to pandering to minorities within and without government.
Every other jack force in the country should be taking careful notes as to how this came to be – all the way from recruiting to the current ‘hold my breath until I pass out’ in respect of where the bodies are – and use it as a teaching moment to get their priorities in order.
As it is, Karen Webb – the current Commish – is done. She won’t survive this, or shouldn’t at any rate.
Maybe Albo’s first loss from Cabinet will be him? Dreyfus, Gallagher (and Giles?) will have to wait.
Rabz Feb 25, 2024 5:14 PM
It’s possible, Billy Bear, it’s possible.
The mayor role should help with recognition and he’s drawn poll (sic) position on the ballot. Of the candidates, half have preferenced him over the Labor (“leave out U”) candidate including the Democrat. Who knew the Democrats were still a thing?
There’s one independent who’s a tradie but his policies are a bit of a mix of Weet-Bix and Fruit Loops.
As usual, Antony Green’s guide is useful including links to websites and how-to-vote cards. He’s the only bit of the ABC worth it preserving, in my opinion.

I used the interwebs to order a small doohickey from a supplier in Queenthland last Wed afternoon Perf time.
Supplier had only one delivery option. Delivery cost an extra $4.75.
Said doohickey arrived at my inner-suburban Perf address on Thurthday afternoon.
Strangely enough the Post-Master General was not involved.
What this killing “a dog”? I’ve killed so many I’ve not a hope of remembering how many. Dozens. Though probably fewer than one hundred.

It’s OK, Delta A,
Occasionally the 6 O,clock Hate needs an excuse to happen. It allows some the opportunity to boost their self esteem by acting out. Aaaaaron is just dusting off his chest and fluffing his hair, thinking “I gave that prick a good serve, didn’t I?”
Almost post orgasmic sense of relief at his bravery.
Lucky it’s in Franga. Will it be enough?
Phrasing!!
It can be a stab in the dark either way.
In the middle of November ordered a Christmas present, dispatched from Melbourne, carried by other than Australia Post.
For various reasons, since the beginning of December someone has been to the courier shed once or twice a week, to enquire about any parcels/packages for us.
Late last week, while there on yet another search for freight, one of the staff there muttered “Are yez ever gonna pick this thing up? We’re friggin tired of it cluttering the place up”
The “arrival date” stamp on it was dated the beginning of December, three months ago. The package is the size of a small piano.
Had similar with the Post Office, a desperately needed spare part was languishing for weeks. Probably one third of articles in the post are collected only when we receive a “this item is about to timeout, collect now or it will be returned to sender” & we ruddy well insist, over the protestations of the postal staff, that there is a parcel for us.
From an Indolent link above, a 10-minute YouTube bit about the U.K.’s economy (interesting for an illiterate like me, but probably won’t tell any of the sharper Cats anything):
Just magnifique, Cats …

I watched the vid, for the sake of brevity he didn’t mention that the NHS is a disaster, the economy is now London and the rest of Britain, that 1 in 5 of working age are on welfare yet there is a labour shortage, that there is a housing crisis. Britain is stuffed.
The quote you provided is another example of why long ago I stopped supporting the major parties. I vote independent or minor party and over the last 20 years that trend has increased, which gives me reason to hope that finally the electorate is waking up.
Ah, Dolores.
LOL, NKP, I noticed that when trying to conduct some preliminary research on the possible outcome.
For how many decades has John Schitt been dead? Not enough, evidently. Just get a load of that suit – bucket worthy. 😕
Nicole Flint on shortly. I must say she is rather beautiful.
Slightly old news now, but nonetheless of interest:

There’s also a brief article on the same site regarding torpedo production issues for the U.S. Navy. (While I find this site worth visiting now and then, the lack of detail in the articles can be frustrating).

Feb 25, 2024 8:18 PM
Rabz, sorry, I was just wanting to see how far and how fast a story could go as certain characters grabbed it firmly in their jaws and ran, baying for blood into the night.
The incident didn’t occur.
The people concerned had a rat dog, but they were wise enough not to take it into the property that housed three pig dogs who wouldn’t have noticed Li’l Rat Dog unless it barked/squeaked at them from under a pile of pig dog poo.
They spent about half an hour in the house, came out, were joyously received by Rat Dog and drove off.
But the story did bring out some expected and unexpected comments… which was its purpose and Rabz (Take a bow, Rabz.) was the only one with enough sense to work it out.
I’m a bit more cynical than yourself, John H, regarding the ‘waking up’ bit, I mean. I don’t think it’s because of a lack of intelligence in the broader population, but more a case of being keep busy and distracted by both the profound and mundane challenges of life.
Since the covidiocy, I’ve vowed to never again vote for a political party which existed during that period of mass delusion (a satisfying delusion for many).
Don’t tell mUnty, but Wussia, Wussia, Wussia is a thing again this year, but with the targets reversed.
Bring back Mueller!
No bites here.
Other things that didn’t occur:
PLA invasions via Tullamarine;
PLA invasions via dirt airstrips in the Kimberley;
Indians stealing my fuel; and
Nuclear attacks in regional Quenthland requiring iodine stockpiling.
Things that have actually occurred:
Overrepresentations of male serial killers with nursing occupations.
I grok that. It’s taken 20 years for a significant shift to occur but the major parties remain the same. So while a small portion of the electorate has turned their back the major parties continue to behave as they always have. That defeats my hope because the dream was that with decreasing support the major parties would change their behavior.
The problem isn’t just with the electorate, it is also the intransigence of the major parties. The last major shift in their behavior was when Hawke became PM but even that shift has been eroded. The current PM and treasurer aren’t worthy of the breathing Hawke and Keating farts.
I’m only too proud to say I despised both Hawke and Keating.

Another pro tip mate.
Hire companies keep very tight records of odometer readings.
They would know what was on the clock when he hired it.
They know what was on the clock when he dumped it (without torching it – silly soyboy).
They know where he has been – mostly.
Take the excess kms over the known travel and you start getting an idea of other picnic spots he might have visited.
Apart from that, some hire vehicles have anti-theft GPS locating devices (not all with the ability to record history, it is true).

Whatever happened to having a fishing trip and meeting your end and erasure with a Wedderburn oven?
Rabz,
The viewing was from a morbid fascination, nothing more.
And it showed the script included criticism, not simply cheerleading.
Wealth is a more abstract concept than money. Wealth is what other people have. Money is what we personally possess or desire. That may read as a semantic argument, but I suggest if you asked individuals about their approval of the (forced) redistribution of wealth, and the (equally compulsory) redistribution of money, there may be interesting responses.
Yup.
Not that he wasn’t before, but yup. No amount of selfies with Tay Tay will save him from being pineapple-cored every two hours (if he hasn’t been already) for the rest of his short life.
What a sh*tshow.

A worldwide shortage of Wedderburn ovens.
Blame the COVID virus.
Yes, he was going to be done in by the circumstantial evidence big-time.
I am having a quiet side-bet that he ballasted the bodies with something highly identifiable to him.

Marulan is not that far from Belanglo State Forest. Constable Soyboy, though not very bright, has a sense of theatre.
I don’t mean to simplistically reduce this to a ‘social media is evil’ pose (cue Ben Stiller as Zoolander), but I think part of the problem is that social media has transformed the feedback mechanisms that politicians (or their legion of ‘advisors’) take notice of.
The gay aspect is really neither here nor there (he sounds like a complete fruit cake) but it’s not a good look. The rainbow unicorn just took a dump on Mardi Gras.
oh … things that ‘actually’ occurred heh?
