I’ve been in all these shitholes. A young westen women in her own is just prey. When my family visited…
Forgot to mention that also on our tour of Casablanca was a Catholic Church of Our Lady and of course…
Given the state of the Iranian aviation industry and its aged fleets of badly maintained aircraft its very possible this…
We’re were in Casablanca on a tour from a cruise ship in 2019 and our tour guide explained that Morocco…

Higher than that I suspect. Newspoll by definition reports the intended votes of voters who respond to polls. I don’t.
Thereby confirming that he is now complicit in genocide.
Well done son, have a Darwin Award.
You find some curios on the Cat.
I knew the bloke who’d owned that terrace house. Knew him peripherally, it was his brother I knew.
Interesting what you find out. I knew they were cattlemen from Breeza Plain, didn’t know much else.
Except his brother, who I knew from mutual friends & his brother calling in to the pub from time to time, when on tour with the “Banjo Club” (a group of keen Australian poetry advocates who’d travel to various bush race meetings to support the bush)
Though they were mostly all well known to me, & sporadic visitors to my town, I had no idea the Banjo Club were racing identities. That never came up. Admiration for the bush, Australian history, and of course bush poetry, was all that was ever talked about (& red wine, my cellar may have had something to do with it, apparently it surpassed many in Sydney & contained bottles unknown to the fine wine shops of Woolloomooloo.)
Nor did I have any idea the brothers were excellent horsemen. “Learned to ride before they could walk” That was something we’d have had in common, topic never came up – then again, to blokes in the bush, being able to “ride before you could walk” is nothing to mention. For silvertails & plebs alike.
Had no idea the bloke who’d owned the terrace was an Olympic medalist. Shows you can know someone for years, & still be surprised.
The actual vendor of the terrace house would have been the estate of his widow. Whatever else went on around Paddington, I’d be very surprised if he’d been a part of the daffodil society. His purchase of the terrace may well predate the arrival of the “good with colours & decorating” cohort.
There was one helluva dust-up over the estate of the brothers. Went on for years.
I looked at a place at Mudgee, near the little village of Lue, before I bought my current property near Goulburn.
The house at Mudgee was bigger and not to old and a hundred thousand less than the one I bought. This place I have now had a bore and very fertile soil. The Mudgee property didn’t even have a dam and the land was very stony. But what really swung it for me, 2 hours from Camden versus 4 hours to Mudgee.
Two hours either way is an easy trip for one day. Family and friends visit regularly. Four hours, and you are into planning to stay the weekend territory.
We are 3 hrs from Sydney, and I have to agree that more than that makes it an arduous journey. We are about an hours’ drive from Mudgee – which makes it very acceptable as a pleasant morning or afternoon visit for provisions or winery lunch.
Visitors and family don’t have a problem with the drive from Sydney & enjoy a stopover or shop in one of the Blue Mountains villages.
However, you are right Pogria – it is at the very least an overnight stay – and most often 2-3 nights. But I find that this is good – as it spaces visits which can be time consuming when you have a farm, livestock and extensive gardens to look after. When we have 3-4 couples visiting I spend a fair time prior cooking & good part of a week after servicing bedrooms & recovering!
Nonetheless, I have always loved the Southern Highlands – especially Bowral and its environs. More civilised than our wild valley but very, very cultivated and beautiful.
Can’t see the point of Soyboy not revealing where the bodies are. Since he was a cop who used his service gun his sentencing is going to be at top end of the scale even if pleads guilty. He is young enough that he could still have a few years not in jail. Telling where bodies are might get him a slight jail discount. Is it NSW that brought in legislation that no parole if don’t reveal where body is ?
Meanwhile hitmen in the Mafia are already rolling around laughing that a cop should be so bad at crime scene cleaning up.
There was zero chance he was not going to be linked to the murders. He did not return the van and even took a friend to vicinity of where initially dropped the bodies.
to do this you need to cut through the window licking morons in the media (WIMM). Trump does this effectively, but that skill is not widely available.
Discovery of the bodies aside, the big question in this case is: Did any of his (possibly police) family have any after-the-fact knowledge or involvement.
They’re going to come under the microscope, as Plod searches for any hint they assisted him in any way.
I think it’s silly to think that the phrase ‘Free Palestine’ is genocidal.
Perhaps cut through with specific policies that reflect, not bury, the differences e.g. Nuclear as an option, NO to Voice, NO to Ute Tax, etc.
Much said about Mudgee.

So they don’t even have a system for checking when cops take their guns out. Surely there is a roster of who is doing the user pays shift.
Serious flaws in their gun supervision. Family of victims might want to consider NSW for negligence and go for a payout.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Lamarre-Condon was able to get access to his firearm last Sunday by claiming he was doing a “user pays” shift, performing duties at a pro-Palestinian rally.

Gems from Parliament Question Time today:
1. Coalition accused by Labor bint of being “Chicken Littles”. This would be more appropriately aimed at themselves, Greens and Teals, all of whom suffer from climate change alarmism.
2. Labor: HECS has made it possible for vastly more young people to get a uni degree.
Translation: HECS has made it possible for our side of poltics to indoctrinate more young people who would formerly have done a trade and learned more about how the economy really works.
On the radio news just now…the NSW Police Commish saying they are calling in a team from Victoria to check out their gun handling routines.
HECS has made it possible for vastly more young people to get a uni degree.
But not get them job ready. Not many employers take any notice of a BA majoring in Gender Studies
Viki,
the family members that visit most have my three adored grandees. Dad works six days a week as he is self-employed. So Sundays are great for a big day out. Easier to plan than for than an overnight stay. You know how much stuff kids come with these days!
The two oldest will be old enough in a year or two to stay during school holidays. Can’t wait. 😀
We also found it nice to be down south (Goulburn area) – prices were good, trip easier than going North or west.
Plane hijacker Leila Khaled’s eco-conference: Albanese government urged to intervene
A woman who hijacked two planes in 1969 and 1970 is set to speak at an Australian eco-conference unless the Albanese government intervenes. TAKE OUR POLL.
DAILYTELEGRAPH.COM.AU08:36
The Albanese government has been urged to intervene to stop a Palestinian activist who took part in a series of aeroplane hijackings in 1969 and 1970 from speaking at a Perth conference on “ecosocialism” in June.
In a letter to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, home affairs minister Clare O’Neil, and immigration minister Andrew Giles, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry has asked that Ms Khaled be blocked from speaking, even via video link, at the conference.
Organisers of the Ecosocialism 2024 conference have promoted Palestinian “activist” Leila Khaled’s appearance at the conference, which is billed as a chance to “fight climate change not war.”
According to the conference website, “Khaled is a national committee member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a socialist organisation that advocates for the creation of a democratic, secular Palestine.
However Ms Khaled was also one of the PFLP hijackers who took over a TWA flight from Rome to Tel Aviv, forcing the plane to divert to Damascus.
Should Palestinian activist Leila Khaled be permitted to speak at an Australian eco-conference?
Yes 6 %
No 94 %
217 votes
The group had thought that then-Israeli ambassador to the US Yitzhak Rabin was on the flight, although he was not.
No one was killed in the hijacking but two Israeli passengers were held for a number of months.
The following year, after undergoing plastic surgery to change her appearance, Ms Khaled took part in the near simultaneous hijacking of four separate airline flights.
Ms Khaled was arrested by British police in the wake of the hijackings but later freed as part of a hostage-prisoner swap.

Ms Khaled “remains a member of the national committee of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an organisation which is listed under Australian sanctions laws,” the letter states.
“Given her criminal background and current associations, her appearance, actual or virtual, would be likely to have the effect of inciting, promoting or advocating terrorism to an Australian audience, to aggravate current social divisions and thus cause damage to social cohesion.”
In a series of incidents in 2020 and 2021, tech companies YouTube, Facebook (Meta), and Zoom have refused to carry broadcasts by Ms Khaled, citing terms of service and potential violations of US export control, sanctions, and anti-terrorism laws.

It’s most certainly genocidal. Don’t be disingenuous. Hamas and Fatah constitutional documents are quite clear on the subject. Polls make it clear what the local Palis want. Supporting “free Palestine” is therefore clearly supporting the aims and intentions of the Pali population, and that’s even before you get to the genocidal antisemitic verses in the Koran.
The Palis had a free state. It was called Gaza. They chose to behave poorly. Now they don’t have a free state and will not for a long time. They had the opportunity to behave like decent civilized people and they used it to attempt genocide on Jews instead.
I’ve listened to a rather indignant young lady, quite angry that no employers took much notice of her BA in Aboriginal Studies.
“The Daily Telegraph reported that Lamarre-Condon was able to get access to his firearm last Sunday by claiming he was doing a “user pays” shift, performing duties at a pro-Palestinian rally.”

Yep, Gez – the plans are all there & we are aware of them. Fortunately, we are out of the zone – at the moment – and added infrastructure on land that is not suitable for the size of the projects will probably forestall any further development.
Nonetheless, it is horrific that places like Cassilis and others – prime ag land – is up for grabs.
You accuse me of being disingenuous and then you conflate the simple phrase ‘Free Palestine’ with the constitutional documents of Hamas and Fatah and the the Koran. This is just trying to label any sort of support for Palestine as genocidal. It’s absurd.
100%.
There’s three categories here:
1) “Free Palestine” means free all of Israel of Jews and Christians.
2) “Free Palestine” means free Gaza from Israel (which it was until they decided to suicide themselves).
3) “Free Palestine” means to free Gaza of Hamas.
Option 1 being the most favourable to Pallis.
The Palis had a free state. It was called Gaza. They chose to behave poorly. Now they don’t have a free state
Exactement!
They blew it bigly.
Exactly. And no Israeli presence. But it is not enough. I have said it all along – they want the massive infrastructure & thriving economy built by others – namely, the Israelis.
The Israelis, btw, have a higher capita standard of living than the US. A miracle, given the span of their modern economy.

Were I in the process of hiring, a BA in gender studies would be a negative. You’d never know when the employee would turn and bite you for a couple of dollars.
No Dover I am not conflating I am stating a fact. Which is widely understood, especially by Israelis and the Jewish diaspora. Anyone who says “free Palestine” is saying “eliminate Israel” . It is impossible to misunderstand it in the context of the current situation given how widely this is preached by the muslims and the Left.
It is literally no different from the regime in Germany advocating for racial hygene.
And yes it is disingenuous to claim that you do not understand this brutal and evil slogan.
Hiring working holiday makers (sometimes known inaccurately as “backpackers”) it is always wise to look at their background.
There’s some absolute shocker backpackers, who’re worse than any employer’s worst nightmare. Pre-covid I’d probably hire about ten total disasters each year. As I got better at reading-between-the-lines of their background, the number of total disasters was brought down to only a few each year.
& by total disaster, I mean total disaster – it can bluddee near be the end of your business & life as you knew it, if you hire the wrong backpacker.
Unfortunately Vicki once you’re in the zone the NSW government has legislated to acquire any land they deem vital to the plan even if it is not strictly within the zone.
The concentration of projects and the massive visibility of the infrastructure will destroy the amenity of the area.
You’re out of the zone now, just wait.
The best thing that anyone can do for the Palestinians at the current time is to urge them to surrender unconditionally and release the remaining hostages.
The Japanese finally surrendered and were occupied for several years. Once they earned the chance to govern themselves responsibly and in peace they were given it.
Israel withdrew from Gaza and gave those Palis a chance to do likewise. They didn’t take the chance. I am sure if they now surrender like the Japanese and behave responsibly the Israelis would eventually give them their freedom in like manner. After all Israel just wants to be left alone.
But we all know they never will be. And therefore the Palis are going to be up against it demonstrating good faith, which I very much doubt they ever will. But who knows maybe the horse will indeed learn to sing.
Israel has offered a two state solution several times, so there’s no reason why they wouldn’t try yet again if there was reason to believe it is viable.
“Free Palestine” is a really despicable slogan in the current context. It is very clear what it means. My contempt for anyone who uses it is vast.
So what phrase can be used that indicates support for a return to ’67 borders, for instance, that does not also mean ‘eliminate Israel’?
I’ve been busy, giving an interior designer a hand moving some stuff to a property in Bungonia. I just sat in the rented van while he moved the stuff into the dam. No, I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Hope I’m not going to be charged with assisting in the covering up of a crime.

In other news, the cop across the road has got rid of his Hilux ute. Over Christmas he managed to drown the motor. Hydrauliced the motor. He sold off the gearbox, guards and a door. Scrap guy comes to pick it up. I ask cop why didn’t he put the motor, exactly the same, from the saloon thats got dints all over it, into the Hilux. I thought he was going to cry. He needed a complete motor as the damaged on had a broken crank and cracked block. Cost too much to fix.
Pali’s have to be the stupidest people to walk this earth. Maybe green and labor voters are too. Close run event.
Palestine on 1967 borders now!
Which Olmert offered Abbas in 2008. So it is indeed possible. But Abbas couldn’t say no without being defunded. He couldn’t say yes because he’d be assassinated within a week, probably by his own bodyguard. So he did the only thing he could do, which is go to the men’s room and not come back.
The reason why Abbas, who is nearly 90, is still running the West Bank is that Hamas would win an election there if one was held. Hamas reflects the will of the Palestinian people.
“But, but….I’ve got a BA majoring in Gender Studies and also Aboriginal Studies!”
That’s alright luv, just come over here and I’ll show you how to wipe down the table after you clear away the plates.
If Hamas promised to “liberate” New York, what would your advice be to all residents?

Notice how the regime in Ramallah has been quiet as a mouse through all this, despite fierce combat in the West Bank, especially in Jenin. The IDF has even been calling in air strikes when required.
The reason why Abbas has been so quiet is that the IDF is conducting a hot war with Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters in his territory. It is to Fatah’s benefit that Hamas and IJ are exterminated in the West Bank, and I suspect Fatah is quietly assisting Mossad and Shin Bet with intel.
The concentration of projects and the massive visibility of the infrastructure will destroy the amenity of the area.
You’re out of the zone now, just wait.
Although I really can’t see them putting any infrastructure in our valley – I concede, Gez, it is possible. On the other hand, we are literally surrounded by NPWS land – complete with “sacred sites” in wilderness areas – so that would slow them down.
I would be tempted to invoke Aboriginal heritage (of which I have spoken on this blog) on our land – but would probably risk a worse end game!
The map looks very interesting. Had that been made public at the time Olmert would have likely gone the way of Rabin.
Sacred sites are negotiable.
Not very environmentally friendly.
The West Bank is also a lot more “liveable” than Gaza. I’m not sure the Gazans and West Bankers are identical groups of people. They seem to have less of a death wish than the Gazans.
Palestine on 1967 borders now!
Which Olmert offered Abbas in 2008. So it is indeed possible.
Not sure if it is now possible. The horrific circumstances of 7 October surely will negate any viable border with a Palestinian state. Even if “eternal vigilance” is promised and with stone wall security a mile high – can Israelis ever risk such atrocities committed with such ease again?
The West Bank is still a sh!thole (I’ve been there) but its “Mosman” to Gaza.
Jim Chalmers didn’t learn much during his PhD on Keating. Obviously he didn’t swallow.
I think Gaza should become the home of radioactive waste.
Obviously he didn’t swallow.
Oo, you are nasty!
The West Bank is also a lot more “liveable” than Gaza. I’m not sure the Gazans and West Bankers are identical groups of people. They seem to have less of a death wish than the Gazans.
Not so. Gaza, pre Israeli retribution had reasonable infrastructure. I have seen footage of the coastal resort structures, and, although there are few women to be seen (!) it was very “liveable”.
As for “West Bankers” they are just as capable of gunning down Israelis (and do regularly!). Who do you think are the thousands of Pallies in Israeli gaols that have been swapped for Israelis in past and present times?
The Israelis have long memories* and I don’t think they’re gonna let Gaza off the hook for ever.
I mean, they’re still p!ssed at Pharaoh (and they celebrate his demise with wine, song and prayer every year!)
*good on them.
Yes it wasn’t quite on the 1967 borders, but it gave the same area to the Palis. All they had to do was accept that a few sections would be politically difficult to give back, especially Arial near Jerusalem. But the Israelis were willing to give quid pro quo land exchange in a deal.
Olmert is a lefty, but it was clear at the time that almost everyone in Israel would go along with such a deal. They just wanted peace. Maybe Olmert would’ve suffered the fate of Rabin, but there weren’t any demos or protests against the proposal, or at least none that I can remember. He’s still alive and well now though, firing of caustic columns in the papers. He has a terrible case of NDS.
Free Palestine is a slogan used by folks whose view of October 7th is it didn’t go near far enough & should be repeated often & more vigorously.
Free Palestine is not genocidal in the same way that Sieg Heil [“Hurrah Victory” or somesuch] is not actually Nazi.
I have to take the HDI and Lysander’s word for it.
A breakdown of where they are from would be interesting.
I stayed with a friend who was renting in Darlinghurst. Got a bit claustrophobic after a while but plenty of great spots in walking distance. Driving anywhere was a nightmare.
Trying to rationalize statement by someone who set themselves on fire is follie.
Some underlying trigger will emerge. Not that I trust the MSM to follow up.

Re Constable Hyphen-Soyboy.
This is a long shot, I know, and I think sticking with “monumental dumb-arse” as a basic premise is wise here.
But what if he cooled down and realised he hadn’t committed the perfect crime and wanted to throw Plod off the scent?
He could dump the bodies somewhere around Newcastle.
Then drive to Sydney and find the most gullible bimbo in his contacts list, who will crumble and spill the beans under the slightest duress.
Make sure she sees him buy the ankle grinder, lock and weights. Drive down to Bungonia, drop her at the end of the road drive on, wait half an hour then pick her up and drive back to Sydney.
Pitch the ankle grinder and lock anywhere.
A long shot, as I say, but I cannot believe someone would bother creating an after the fact witness who was no practical use to him.
F around and find out.
From the Saturday Telegraph.
In 2019 a Mullumbimby woman died following a heart attack after taking “kambo”, a poison taken from the South American giant monkey tree frog.(for her health)
It appears that “kambo” has subsequently been classified as a poison and is now illegal.
No surprises so far but the State Coroner is a beaut. She made no recommendations because of the subsequent banning of the poison.
She is quoted as follows, “While regulators must balance the risk of harm with personal liberties…people are drawn to using kambo in circumstances where those who administer it…lack basic training in first aid.”
“Without wishing to insinuate blame or shame, it is…extremely regrettable that (Victoria Sinclair who administered the drug) had not equipped herself with the number for triple-0. Vital time was lost before triple-0 was called.”
So some nutter who was pissing around with poison from an Amazon tree frog which killed her patient deserves no “blame or shame?”
It is merely “regrettable” that the skank “had not equipped herself with the number for triple-0” and “vital time was lost.”
If the State Coroner Ms. O’Sullivan has been accurately reported then she has failed at her job.
Probably not so much riding on a byelection since that one Howard managed to hold on to and was around for another decade or so.
Albo -“Is this the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end?”

NSW head copperette on the skids:
Karen Webb has again been caught on the back foot when she should be instilling confidence
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb says questions over her leadership are “offensive”. Rather than attacking critics, she should lift her game in public communication, writes James O’Doherty.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb has a major perception problem; time and again she has been caught on the defensive when she should have been on the front foot.
How many chances should the state’s top cop get to lift her game in communicating with the public?
The Police Commissioner on Monday declared criticisms of her leadership were “offensive”.
But instead of attacking journalists, perhaps Webb should look at her own response in times of crisis.
As Commissioner, Webb is supposed to be the figurehead of the Police. She rarely fronts the media to speak to the public; when she does, it is clear why.
She now stands accused of going into “hiding” over her delay in fronting the public after one of her own was charged with murder.
Webb was publicly absent amid the frantic search for Luke Davies and Jesse Baird last week. It then took two days after Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon was charged for the police boss to break her silence and express her “heartfelt condolences” to the men’s families.
Webb argues she was tied up at budget estimates on Friday and attended a sunrise service in Coogee on Saturday.
On Monday morning she revealed that she had tasked Victorian Police with reviewing how a serving NSW police officer had access to his firearm out of work hours, which detectives say was used in the killing of the Sydney couple.
Webb on Monday left it to her Deputy Commissioner David Hudson to provide operational details of the murder investigation, before lashing out at suggestions she had been caught short.
As Upper House MP Rod Roberts told The Daily Telegraph, it’s Webb’s job to “instil public confidence in the NSW Police Force – If the public has no confidence in the police force themselves, and that always comes from the top, things start to unravel”.
Her lacklustre response to the alleged murder of Mr Davies and Mr Baird is the latest in a string of bungles.
First, there was the response to the tasering of 95-year-old great grandmother Clare Nowland, when police took two days to acknowledge that a taser had been used.
The Telegraph later revealed that fourteen hours after the incident at the Cooma nursing home, Webb’s chief of staff told colleagues that the state’s top cop intended on taking a day off.
That day off was cancelled, something which should have been immediately obvious.
She was also missing in action after protesters burned Israeli flags and shouted anti-Semitic chants outside the Opera House on October 9.
Rank and file police officers are increasingly unhappy with Webb’s performance, and Premier Chris Minns was hardly effusive in his defence of the state’s top cop on Monday.
Minns will not sack Webb, but he would be desperately hoping that her performance improves.

I would have thought that was an obvious issue for anybody who wasn’t Aboriginal.
Not impossible to break into the industry but there is one very large and obvious obstacle. With a plan, dedication and time, it would be possible to overcome but would require genuine effort – not something all Uni graduates are known to possess in abundance.

Is there a breakdown between private and public sector wage differentials? I can’t imagine there would be. They certainly wouldn’t like that data getting out.
The article I linked about the €1 houses in Italy.
You have to get them habitable within three years.
No requirement to to be an Italian citizen or live in them.
They can go straight onto airbnb, you can farm out the management to a professional airbnb host.
Not sure about the deal with Japanese houses though generally they aren’t as defunct as the Italian ones.
Though if the roofs are solid not so bad.
There aren’t really any renovators delights in Cefalu, though I’ve seen a couple of properties being renovated, it’s status as a tourism gold mine has saved it.
Not like Sassari and Cagliara and so many little towns in the hills in Sardinia and Sicily.
Not even talking about big commuters to centre like Catania.
It’s nuts that Australia is so big yet so expensive while Japan and Italy are so cheap.
Just to point out, the Driller didn’t say it was an “unacceptable topic.” He can’t, because he has zero rights on this blog to determine what is or isn’t an acceptable topic of conversation.
He basically made fun of the discussions because they weren’t focused more on motelling, outbacking, croc dundeeing, or halal kebabs,
I haven’t taken much interest in the subject, but it’s certainly topical seeing how quite a few people are chatting about it.
This is someone criticizing topic discussions after running a vanity blog with 279 comments in 15 years.
Also, you have the Rooster posting the most boring drivel ever encountered in global blogging, but the driller has issues with the murder discussion, and apparently so does the follower now too.
It appears impossible for these two muttenheads to introduce topics that others find interesting.
“Perhaps we could have a dedicated thread for people complaining about what other people choose to discuss.”
Isn’t that every thread? 😀
55 years ago. If she wasn’t hanged then it’s too late now and she’s no threat. I presume she did a decent amount of gaol time and hasn’t jacked any planes lately? What’s she going to do? She is 83 years old at a minimum, I presume. Hit us with her walking frame?
Most crooks stop in their mid-fifties. They’re just tuckered out, it seems.
I’m at a loss as to why you told such a stupid story in the first place.
Then you accused JC of being Aaron.
Satp didn’t complain about those high quality contributions.
Sure.
Has areff been given proof of life for his pussy of late?
I think you need to send him a photo of the pussy sitting on a copy of this week’s Hicksville Gazette.
Have you been ordering fava beans Hannibal Betty?

I’m curious as to the purpose of an angle grinder in the murders.
Don’t even need to do that. Just cut out one of the links and put the lock between the new end pieces. That way anyone with a key to the locks on the chain can get in or out.
JC would seem to be drunk, unhappy and looking for a stoush.
Situation normal. On all three counts.
LOL yeah these days the Turtlehead fancies himself as being the head of the CIA Psy-ops. Really, like I’d use an alias to criticize this imbecile. It’s actually offensive to even consider.
So it seems Pogria.
It’s just not cricket.
There’s been a fair number of towns making offers like that.
Complete list of Italian villages offering houses at 1 euro (Oct 2021)
I wouldn’t take up such an offer in Sicily or Calabria, one might get a visit from the local capo. But Sardinia, Piedmont and Tuscany sound pretty good.
Seeing that you’re such a clever boy, pat pat, outline your plan for the Iranian people to regain their country from the Religious nutters.
You can do that, can’t you?
Then mail it off to Albo the Great. He’d love to have such a clever boy on his team.
Oh yeah, the frameup that I used that comment about myself when it was directed to trans.
In the end, all these clowns have a lies and dishonesty.
I’ve loved the recent small intros referencing the “pub” over the past few days. Obviously thinks he can bamboozle people into believing this horseshit.
JC
It’s a wine cellar, JC.
Glad you like it, as any topic is open for discussion.
Pray tell, which part is “horseshit”?
Turtlehead, did you actually believe that I was using an alias when someone by the name of Aaron came after you because of your appalling lack of human scruples to avoid a dog being killed? You filthy, disgusting, worthless male nurse.
Yes of no?
I have not had any interaction with blog prefect for 2 weeks but I guess he is needing a stoush since he mentioned me.
I found this comment aimed at Sal hilarious :
‘because he has zero rights on this blog to determine what is or isn’t an acceptable topic of conversation’.
Totally lacking in self awareness.
Big mouth when behind a keyboard.
In real life, not so much. Why would that be?
How do you do that without a key?
And replacing the lock means the owner will know straight away next time they turn up.
If you’d bothered to read upthread instead of having a girly hissy fit about the number of posts I made on the matter, I had already explained the cleanest way to do this.
Cut a link out of the chain in an obscure spot, and replace it with a split link before you go. That way the key still fits the lock when the owner turns up, and may not notice they replaced link.
What’s all the fuss?
Not uncommon to find dogs in cars.
As anybody who’s read Boys Own type novels is well aware, all prefects are serviced by a “fag”
That you own a traditional country pub. Never have, lied about for 20 years and now attempting the subtle nuance to convince people you do. Horsehit.
Don’t you feel like an Anzac at Lone Pine, Driller?
You could clear it up for us once and for if you give the all clear to discuss it, re the no show.
Go!
Hence on many chained gates the chain is inside shrunk-on plastic tubing.
Turts claims he was married to a woman though.
Absolutely, there should be no differentiation between discussing topical subjects and loopy theories, say about the CCP invading Victoria using commercial aircraft landing at Melbourne airport at night.
Please produce evidence of this claim.
You make it a lot – we all thought it is just you being full of shit, as usual.
Which is what is the case. 😉
Why?
Rosie, if you’re going to chip someone over something they’ve posted, you should at least get the quote correct. 😉
Then they go on disability.
Which is really hard to cut through.
Not.
It looks like my work here is done.
Winston puts the lid back on the tin of Chum, watches the self winding duo of JC and Stencho run wild for the next 10 minutes and wanders off to his “Fallout Shelter” knowing they’ll still be ranting at 2300. Then probably asleep for a little nap.
Most crooks stop in their mid-fifties. They’re just tuckered out, it seems.
To quote a scallywag acquaintance some years back ” it’s a hard life being a scumbag Mr Pepper”
Haven’t heard from him for a long time now, I suspect the life of a pimp/ drug Hoover/ grower isn’t huge.
73 years old
Everyone is stoushing or too bemused to note my error. 🙁
Can I just say, JMH and ‘Chilli’ are different people, and I’d prefer the latter not be discussed here.
Quite so. Declaring someone else’s words/idea to be shit is easy. It is not for Sancho to say why an idea is shit, or (horreur) present a valid idea, it is his role to sling shit.
Like an ALP member.
Says the man, the real man
Falsely claiming he’s owned a pub for the past 20 years,
Puts on a show that he’s the rea-life croc dundee,
The outbacking,
Requiring 53 licenses to run a motel (not a pub),
Always winning at Fairwork
Only person to know how to operate GST in hospitality.
Oh, and the boss, a real boss firing people left and right.
Much much more.
Real men don’t lie about themselves. They don’t make up shit every second day about what heroes they are. Dickheads losers do though. Vulnerable narcissists.
I don’t think Iodine Betty has ever denied that loopy theory about secret CCP troop landings at Tullamarine in unmarked jets in the dead of night.
It was rife on the Queensssland loopy-web at the height of Covid.
There is a God.
But near impossible to replace/repair – making it immediately obvious that the gate has been cut open.
Stencho –
Here.
You idiot. Had you spent any amount of time in the country, you’d have seen this.
There’s a thousand country pubs in Queensland alone.
You’ll be quite busy going through title deeds to each one, proving the owner is not me.
You should just nail your balls to the workshop bench & put your dick in the vice – it’d be easier & more fun.
Get back to us when you’ve completed your thousand years of title searches.
Loopy?
I never knew this, but according to KD he moved the theory to up north. The CCP was going to use disused runways in the Kimberley. I saw it last night. Damn, I missed that one.
Leila Khaled is a Palestinian refugee, former hijacker, and member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Geez! .. with that sort of CV “plenty wrong” & Luigi will have her, thoroughly vetted, citizenship certificate, the red carpet and a guard of honour on hand when they greet her off “our” best VIP jet at Mascot ……… FFS!
Yes there are, but he’s never owned one.
And the justification/s are simply appeals to emotivism or one sort or another.
What Happened To Russia’s New Doomsday Sub – COMPILATION
The sub, only one built, biggest sub built, purported to carry a nuclear powered Poseidon torpedo that has a 10,000 km range, a speed of potentially 300ks, can remain active for 7 months, then return to a refitting ship.
The T90 sucks.
The new body armour being developed will stop a 50 cal machine gun bullet. Yeah … .
All the claims reminds me of the Russian program Combat Approved, available on Youtube. Good for a laugh.
You will not be able to prove this. The dementia is getting to you dude.
By the tirade above at 5.56pm (brokeback mountain time) the casual observer would deduce that dear brother Cat JC is jealous of me.
The casual observer would be correct. This is David Marr fuming about Tony Abbott level jealous frustration.
Deal with it you old goat.
Not sure if will be still there but Daily Mail had an article about YouTuber Mr Beast.
Seems his income from YouTube and a chocolate brand is about 550m pounds per year. He is mid 20’s and been creating content since 13. A lot of his income is given away whilst creating his content. Houses and cars etc.
No Dover I am not conflating I am stating a fact. Which is widely understood, especially by Israelis and the Jewish diaspora. Anyone who says “free Palestine” is saying “eliminate Israel” .
Hear! hear .. 178% correct ..! Anyone who conflates “free Palestine” with some sort of humane ideal is kidding .. FULL TIME …..!
“Free Palestine” meanz .. Death to all Jews …… nothing less ……..!

BoN is one of the best contributors to this blog, a chemical engineer and very well read on a daily basis about technology and politics.
Dis him you may, but unless you do it from a position of intellectual superiority and informational superiority, you run the risk of making this blog just another stoush-ridden, ignorable small billabong in a vast landscape.
You’re not able to either, because you’ve never owned one.
If we can boot Djokovic out, we sure as heck can refuse entry to her.
I can’t believe with her background entry to any Western democracy is even considered .. How far down the “appeasement” pole have we slid … FFS!
The “be nice to us and we’ll leave you near the end of the list” attitude of of Western gummints to the “religion of pieces” is frightening …..!
All this we don’t negotiate with terrorists guff is sooooooo 2019-ish .. FFS!
Po-mo politics, dover.
You should have heard some of the “arguments” for decriminalising abortion in QLD from the allegedly conservative LNP.
Marr wasn’t the only fuming about Tony Abbott. You were too. Recall. 🙂
I feel like the only Anzac at Lone Pine.
What a grifter you are Driller.
JC at 5:56.
How could you forget “I am being stiffed by ScoMo. I can’t get JobKeeper because I can’t work out my pokies revenue”?
Sure.
Of course, the questions ensued.
There were no answers.
While on fire, he repeatedly yelled “Free Palestine.”
I would have replied
Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!
Righties are having lots of fun with Google’s ultrawoke AI.
US media personality calls to shut down Gemini after Google’s AI chatbot refuses to say if Hitler or Musk is worse: ‘No right or wrong answer’ (26 Feb)
Who was the better person? Libs of TikTok?…or Stalin? (24 Feb)
It does seem to like mass murderers more than righties, although calling Elon a righty is a stretch. And as I linked this morning it would rather the world be destroyed in nuclear fire than misgender a tranny.
Not as obvious as attaching your own new lock, which the owner does not have a key for, as proposed by Iodine Betty.
Dunkley polling still shows 12% voting for the filth. It’s a mental illness. Just like TDS. I was talking to a guy who I used to respect the other day. He started sprouting the usual anti-Trump tropes and bullshit. I started to reason with him but quickly realised his mind was closed and there was no point. So I bashed him.
With the story as it’s developed to date and each new revelation being more outlandish in it’s demonstrated stupidity, has anyone considered that these clowns may have engineered an elaborate hoax?
This is really cute.
Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait Islanders in SA to vote for state-based Voice (Sky News, 26 Feb)
So only aboriginals get to vote? When did South Australians get a referendum on this? Oh that’s right it was last year and they voted 60% against it.
Not going to further the cause of recognition and racial amity one bit. Fury and hatred more like. Nothing worse than an unelected bunch of people telling us what to do.
Who’s going to define “Aboriginal?”
SA isn’t exactly TI traditional land.
NAMX hydrogen car video.
…. never ever rear-end a hydrogen car
SA isn’t exactly TI traditional land.
Yes apart from pollimuppetts giving the electorate what the electorate voted against, I’m intrigued about the TSI ‘flag’ appearing in places like Melbourne and Parramatta. It’s 1000s of miles away. What are they up to?
Earlier, and apropos of people returning shooters to armouries in cop shops:
This was mentioned a couple of days back – but pretty much, yep.
Access is not restricted, but audit trails of swipe card access to such places will reveal relevant times and dates. Basic maths at the time revealed that this would occur over 8700 times in one station alone each year.
The alternative is to have a bloke individually checking weapons out (as I have heard used to happen in some such places quite a while back), but in this case also asking:
‘Now, are you or are you not planning to kill your gay lover and his new squeeze before bringing this back? Because if you are, I’m not going to give this shooter to you.’
It also reflects that there is no One Nation or Fat Bastard Party this year in Dunkley, which means, if you don’t want to vote for the Filth or the Liars, you have no choice but to vote for the Stupid Frigging Liberals, who this week waved through the Victorian parliament the Liars’ green dream that calls for 95% hippie electricity in the next 20 years.
The state LNP leader Proscuttio hates those who want to vote for him and is a recipe for permanent opposition. He needs to be arseholed toote suite or the Stupid Frigging Liberals will never again hold government in Victoria.

Access is not restricted, but audit trails of swipe card access to such places will reveal relevant times and dates.
I’m thinking of a system used by a tech manufacturing business that I know of in the US that uses a QR code-like function on their “production line”.
Stuff can’t move to the next stage until you QR code release it.
Means 100% accountability at every stage.
Your QR like function is bio metric so you can’t give your device to someone else.
Maybe plod should have something similar on their gun lockers.
Instant traceability that some AI could monitor weapons that are being checked out at odd times.
Also, if someone like the chap in Sydney tried to check out his weapon but wasn’t rostered onto do anything that needed it, it would set off alarms.
Doesn’t seem like an onerous system/procedure to put into place.
https://www.swordandscale.com/the-worlds-oldest-criminals/
Maybe they should only put that in place in the month before Mardi Gras. It’s a bad look to have coppers offing their gay lovers just before the Festival Of The Date. I wonder whether NSW Plod will have a float this weekend like they usually do?
Under The Bus and/or Sour Grapes news (the NT News, paywalled):
Doubtless this will be third-hand or worse information, but still.
That term is not restricted to the NT jacks, nor is it only in Alice Springs this occurs.
That’s not what he said during the trial.
And:
Mr Rolfe appears to have been told about a lot of things, without actually knowing them.
Really having a crack, it would seem.
Hmm.
I’m actually not sure what Rolfe intends to achieve here. He’s obviously been told that as this is a coronial matter rather than a trial, the normal rules of evidence and burdens of proof don’t apply.
By the same token though, he has absolutely opened himself up to open slather when counsel for the NT jacks has a crack at him.
I hear that Rolfe was a mad rooter of chick cops while in Alice Springs, which is fine (if not laudable), but I also hear he was extremely disparaging to them afterwards in the presence of all sorts of other people in and out of the jacks.
I sure hope Rolfe hasn’t had – or still does have – a stash of intimate chick copper pics, taken without consent and forwarded to other people that he thinks the brass don’t know about, and that counsel haven’t got hanging over his head.
I suuurely hope.
I wonder whether NSW Plod will have a float this weekend like they usually do?
The organisers of the poofta parade have said to the wallopers don’t bother turning up.
Shane Gillis slayed SNL.
Possibly their best show in over a decade.
Bodies ina float.
Actually more noticeable than a replaced lock.
A new (i.e. different) lock is not noticeable unless/until one attempts to open the gate.
Shrink-on plastic tubing removed is noticeable on a drive-by.
this is not funny & here ought not be a place to incite or glorify violence.
Yes definitely, two of them donated several pints of blood for that extra level of authenticity.
Ber, is there a link?
Bern..
Yes it is. I laughed.

Smashed a Cafe record this arvo. A wild little corella accepted bread from my hand five times. She was suitably encouraged by two large and very loud kids going waaaah! Nothing like mouths to feed to encourage risk taking.
Previous best was twice in one day. Wild little corellas are much less intelligent and trusting than cockies, so despite lots of trying I’ve not had much luck with them. It’s weird because rainbow lorikeets are that much smaller again but are easy as pie to get friendly.

S. Trickler got bashed last week – perhaps he can compere a dedicated thread on bashing and how much fun it was & is.
For fear that members of parliament would be murdered if they did not vote in accordance with the wishes of the “From the River to the Sea” horde choking the surrounding streets, the UK parliament just halted a vote. The UK parliament went to quite some breach of convention to ensure that vote was never put to the floor of parliament, to avoid angering the “Free Palestine” horde.
If there’s a way out of this, without shooting our way out, let’s hear it …..
“Cue bashing jokes for the remainder of the thread.”
I’ll have a bash at one after dinner. 😀
Cheers
I do not recall. Apart from disappointment at his about-face performance as PM, I’ve barely commented on him.
You need to work on your memory. (Or produce the citation from your extensive file of “everything is saved in screenshot”)
Not happy reading Bespoke- I real eye opener though. Daniel Greenfield is brilliant.
The murder of a young nurse by an illegal in the US, was the perfect opportunity for Lt Sulu to make it all about himself. 🙁
