He bemoaned middle-class consumerism as the cause for economic malaise and widespread mental health problems as he was being interviewed in a Melbin apartment with a white baby grand piano in the background.
Pianos were the go-to status symbol in early modern history by the wealthy, aping monarchies and hereditary lords.
I suspect the ASIO director deliberately let the cat out of the bag to force the issue about the spying pol out in the open, and for him/her to be named.

Not going to happen, even the UK doesn’t really consider anything above a brigade, and we would struggle to put one together (and could not rotate it anyway).
And pointless anyway, unless the top echelons are fixed. Think of the “leadership” of the Afghanistan commitment, from thousands of kms away.
Start at the top, and the lower levels would correct themselves anyway. See the US Army under Marshall, which also was without any significant cadre of experienced soldiers.
I’d suggest justice would be better served by him paying paying substantial restitution to the victim (over time via instalments if necessary)
I think in addition to the sentence given.
Maybe a Shakespearean remedy of forcing him to eat the baby-infused Big Macs.
(Wait, are we talking about the same case or not?)
Apropos of the Big Mac Baby Back Baby Back Baby Back Ribs guy:

It’s my belief that Sam Dastyari is a c^%*.
I’ve seen Sweaty Joe Hockey being vocal today about ASIO naming names ie they should do it immediately.
I was surprised that Burgess chose to raise the issue of the politician all in with the Chinese. If it is who many think it is – it is an incredibly stale bit of news.
I can only think that by referring to a Labor operative, he might get the current Lefties off his back if and when he pursues the Palestinian supporters when they go really “over the top”.
Or he is conscious of the anger of conservatives that the Palies have been getting away with outrageous behaviour and intimidation of the Jewish community.
A top former intelligence official believes there is evidence that Labor senator Sam Dastyari was deliberately targeted by the China government to advance its interests in Australia.
I really thought that this was a widespread belief in the political community.
I hold the quaint view that the less we know that ASIO is doing stuff, the better off we are for it.
They’ve not had an embarrassing public event like the Sheraton Hotel incident that ASIS did in 1983.
Things that make me feel comfortable:
Quiet security agencies that don’t get laughed at in the press
Major nuclear powers not guaranteeing deployment of ground troops
A low crime rate, a real one, not a faked one
The civil litigation will handle that.
Morris Blakberne or Slaytuh & Gawdin will already be in touch with the victim.
The case should be a lay down misere for the plaintiff.
Australia’s top spy boss has revealed a crack unit of spies ‘cultivated and recruited’ a former politician who then ‘sold out’ their country, party and former colleagues to help the foreign regime
Why does an old tale about Mark twain spring to mind. (though it may be a general tale not his)
“I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying ‘flee at once – all is discovered.’ They all left town immediately.”
Your belief is correct.

I just realised you are talking about the reenactment, and was going to give you a dozen upticks for being a funny girl/boy/thing.
I also think that by mentioning domestic risk groups, he’s pretty much suggesting they also need to keep an eye on things after the melee that occurred in New Zealand. It’s also a way of mollifying the left.
He’s a Swiftie?
Reading a book on the Frog revolution.
Robespierre was a shit.
Everyone who allowed the Paris mob to effectively “become” the revolution was a shit.
Also picked up a little detail I hadnt seen before.
Assignats.
Because Louis the headless was broke, the state he left the French was even broker.
First the repealed a lot of old quite unjust exemptions granted to noble families.
Then they still had nowhere near enough money so they nationalised and sold off all the churches lands/properties.
Problem: selling all that at once would crash the value and leave them just as broke.
Solution: Sell more slowly and issue assignats (paper interest bearing money/bonds) redeemable at a later date as the properties values were realised.
Problem 2: Politicians had found a magic money tree and couldnt stop printing the things until they were worth 5% or less of their face value.
Solution 2: Invade other countries to “liberate” them, then seize sell off their property to produce more assignats.
Havent got to the bit where Robespierre gets his comeuppance.
Oh dear.
A name, a name!!
Alex Turnbull, the son of former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, is quoted in news.com.au saying that he believes he may have been the target of an approach referred to by spy chief Mike Burgess.
He reportedly said he expressed no interest and forwarded the details immediately to the authorities.
Alex Turnbull told Guardian Australia:
Inoculation is cheap and good. Not everyone is going to be as attuned to the risks. If you spend your whole life in Australia, this stuff is pretty foreign and not something you normally have to think about. Asio needs to sit people down for a half day of training.
True
Tudge was mentioned here before monty.
Daryl Maguire too was targeted by the Chinese. That was pure swindling though.
It’s not Tudge, Asio honcho was referring to, Fatboy. It’s obviously from your “mob”.
A Chinese Government-owned company said it was going to invest in a 400 million AUD project in a town with 50,000 people in Australia living there back in 2012.
It was basically a hotel and a DFO.
Daryl was targeted for a long while.
Monty according to Saint lydia (faeces be upon her) the ALP are the party of “native police”.
“We know increased punitive measures do nothing to address the underlying social issues, yet this so-called progressive Labor government have a few native police officers in their ranks,” Thorpe said.
“Your own Marion Scrymgour is making disgusting calls to treat our kids even more harshly, when they are already being openly hunted, locked up and tortured, and then Senator McCarthy is giving black money to the police dogs, adding to the billions of dollars being spent on this racist system every single year. Native police in your own ranks. Shame.”

One of the former immigration detainees released after last year’s landmark High Court ruling has been charged with sexual offences in Melbourne.
The 43-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday, days out from the Dunkley byelection, in which Labor’s handling of the High Court ruling has been a point of political dispute.
Defence barrister Angus Edwards submitted that his client, who was working at Queens Wharf as plumber, made a mistake at a busy intersection and failed to keep a proper lookout for Ms Small. “He simply made a mistake he thought he had the green light when he didn’t,” Mr Edwards submitted

In this instance, both would be a good idea – custodial sentence to drive home the fact that he deliberately rode through a red light – “I’m riding a bike and saving the planet, so I’m untouchable.” then hit the idiot with restitution costs, and continue the punishment to all the arrogant arseholes of whatever type until they get the bloody message.
We’ve all seen it a thousand times. Cyclists seem to think the road rules don’t apply to them.
The area around William St and Victoria Bridge in Brisbane CBD has bike lanes (also used legally by escooter riders) and those lanes have specific traffic lights for the bike lane. The bike rider may have been intending to turn left to ride across the Victoria St bridge and the bike lane accommodates this – except there is a pedestrian crossing 10m before the left turn and bike lane lights would be installed there.
So, the bike lane lights are red but he obviously doesn’t care as the bike lane left turn across Victoria Bridge doesn’t interact with any vehicle traffic. The only potential slow down/stop is the pedestrian crossing before the turn.
Recently, I was working near the corner of George/Charlotte St and I can tell you that the (trades) people departing the Queens Wharf construction site between 2-3pm would routinely ride escooters and bikes without a care. Road rules were casually ignored. Very few wore helmets. Yet, not a copper was ever to be seen at would be an ‘infringement notice’ feeding frenzy.
Six months ago I saw an orange clad worker from the site ride the WRONG WAY against one way traffic down Charlotte St in the middle of the road. Oncoming traffic dodged and weaved to avoid him. He made it all the way to Albert St when I lost sight of him. No helmet and, didn’t care.
We’ve all seen these types of examples and it bewilders me that more cyclists are not skittled. To be fair, same can be said for some of the escooter riders.
I thought Monty had died of ass cancer…
Oh well, there’s always hope.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13138687/Dr-Nick-Coatsworth-exposes-Australia-got-response-Covid-wrong-restrictions-harsh.html
Dr Nick Coatsworth, who helped lead Australia’s response to Covid, says draconian pandemic restrictions went for far too long and states should be stripped of their disease control powers.
The former deputy chief medical officer stated ‘group think’ and exhaustion led to poor Covid responses in a 10-page submission to the special commission of inquiry being held into the pandemic.
On Wednesday Dr Coatsworth made the stunning admission that imposing vaccine mandates was wrong in the wake of the Queensland Supreme Court finding that forcing police and paramedics to take the jab or lose their jobs was ‘unlawful’.
Worth a read, its as though they allowed the Im saving the world” to blind them to the evils they were perpetrating.
I mean they even had a pandemic response plan (2019, WHO approved0 ready to go, but ignored vast swathes of it for unscientific politicking and knee jerk stuff which was already assessed as ineffective, or counterproductive.
Dover, any chance you could try and work out why my last 2 went into moderation?
No sweary bits, and if you cant stick evil people into pens full of hungry pigs!
Thanks Dover, that’s great.

The White House confirmed President Joe Biden did not take a cognitive test during his annual physical on Wednesday, and insisted he ‘doesn’t need’ one.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed aside concerns the 81-year-old is not fit for a second term and touted his record.
She dismissed the need for a cognitive, despite the Department of Justice calling him an ‘elderly man with a poor memory’ in the special counsel report on his mishandling of classified documents.
His doctor, including the neurologist, do not believe that he needs one,’ Jean-Pierre said at Wednesday’s press briefing.
She responded: ‘Folks need to understand that the president passes a cognitive test every day!’
Hahaha – my dementia is hurting.
This claim is not consistent with any amount of video footage.
Aston Martin buyers regard buying the V8 entry level.
Does he pass?
I’m able to remember back to 2018, when President Trump was forced into seeing a navy doctor for a cognitive test.
At that time Trump was 12 years younger than Biden now is.
Didn’t Dastyari disappear straight into Crown during the Packer years? Probably picked up Xi at Mascot personally with one of those little cardboard signs.
No wonder Albanese would rather be partying at the Mardi Gras than on TV answering difficult questions.
Ton up in the last over of the day for Cam Green. Great knock. 9/279 on a bowler friendly wicket a good effort.
Folks need to understand that the president passes a cognitive test every day!
Now heres the question, does the spokesthing know the difference between an arse biscuit/ bowel movement and a cognitive test?
For that matter does Biden.
I suspect Biden might have trouble with “Who is the President of the United States?”
Barrack someone or other.
“Donald Trump. And I’m gonna beat him at the last election in 1963.”
“Do I get ice cream now?”

Everyone bookmark the CSIRO Megatrends thing they wrote in 2022.
Preparing to live in a hotter world
Yep.
Heat governance.
AT LEAST 80 TIMES CURRENT HEAT-RELATED DEATHS!
I no longer take the CSIRO seriously.
I think the CSIRO has an underground or resistance movement that keeps doing decent tech stuff.
They continue to incubate some interesting stuff that ends up in VC land.
But yes, the blob controls it & most of its output.
Another gem from the CSIRO:
Climate-driven mass migration
In 2020, less than 1% of the global land surface was classified as an extremely hot zone, but by 2070, this is predicted to increase to 19%, impacting 3.5 billion people who live in these regions.41 Moreover, the share of humanity living in areas that exceed a deadly
temperature–humidity combination for at least 20 days per year is predicted to rise from 30% today to 74% by 2100.42 Assuming a mostly stable Antarctic, 150 million
people worldwide live on land that could be vulnerable to future sea-level rises by 2050 and this could increase to 300 million if the Antarctic becomes unstable.43 Climate pressures could give rise to a significant wave of climate-driven global migration in the decades leading up to the mid-century and beyond, but this is dependent
on the broader social, cultural and political context.
Ah yes. Nice arse covering.
This “suggestion” is necessary in order to avoid accepting the reality that cold kills at many time the rate that heat does. “Research” to “prove” this will be produced at an increasing rate, and with increasingly hysterical headlines.
Like the Tumble Weeds cartoon, where someone walks into the bar and yells “Say your prayers cheater. Your time has come!”
Stampede for the doorway….
An interesting comment by Jim Rickards on the legal persecution of Trump by NY prosecution:
Trump’s Business Is Being Destroyed. Will New York Destroy Itself Next?
You’ve seen the stories about how Donald Trump and his businesses have been treated in the State of New York. The State Attorney General Letitia James ran for election on a platform of destroying Trump. She said so explicitly in her campaign appearances and TV ads. She brought what is normally a routine business records case against Trump. The allegation was that Trump had overstated the value of certain properties when making a loan application for financing secured by those properties.
Anyone who knows anything about commercial real estate knows that valuations vary widely, many different models are used, and estimates are volatile and can change rapidly. Trump’s loan application explicitly told the lender not to rely on the Trump valuations and to do their own due diligence. The lending bank did that. They decided to make the loan. The loan was repaid with interest on time and as agreed. There was no fraud in the transaction and no loss. The lender made money. There was no victim.
A case like this (even if the allegations are stretched thin) is typically handled in an administrative setting with a small fine, if that, or maybe just a warning to be more careful in the future. Instead, the radical prosecutor and biased judge railroaded the case into a $350 million award and over $90 million of back interest and collateral fines all payable to the State of New York. The total judgement comes to $464 million. Over $111,000 per day of interest is being added until it’s paid.
Trump can appeal but has to post a $350 million bond and is prohibited from borrowing the bond money from New York banks. He’s also banned from doing business in New York for three years.
This episode is a gross miscarriage of justice, an example of selective prosecution, and almost certainly unconstitutional as a denial of due process.
But is it worse than that? This article by noted business reporter Charlie Gasparino says, yes. Gasparino points out that other investors and entrepreneurs are watching the case closely. In many cases, these investors have a choice of investing in Florida, Texas, and other business-friendly jurisdictions. As they gradually move out of New York or simply decline to invest, the State of New York will suffer lost jobs, lost taxes, and declining business overall. That will cost New York more than it’s costing Trump. But politicians don’t care about the people or the state. They just care about their own headlines.

It seems to be the latest talking points missive from that global alarmist media collective whose name I can’t remember.
Here, there and everywhere I see statements like ‘heatwaves are the biggest natural disaster killer of all, and there are more and more of them.’
So many lies in one sentence. Anything above 25C in England is now a ‘heatwave’, as is the dishonest assertion that temperatures above average constitute a heatwave. The meaning of the word ‘average’ is lost on innumerate churnalists and their readers.
As Cohenite, Bruce and many others have pointed out again and again, it is statistically undeniable that cold is the biggest killer. What’s more, if the proponents of ‘equity’ really care, cold disproportionately kills poor people who are homeless or who can’t afford to heat their homes. Skyrocketing energy prices not only make more people homeless because they can’t pay their bills, they leave poor people who have homes shivering in the dark.
Yet, this lying assertion pops up all over the place and not a single scientist, epidemiologist (spit) or statistician is ever reported as refuting it.
There are real victims of the ‘climate crisis’, just not the ones reported in the fact-free MSM.

Taormina.
Second day of grey skies and the coldest day since I’ve been in Europe put a cloud over my Taormina experience.
Both museums of interest to me were closed, even though there seemed to be enough tourists around. I had a look at the Roman Baths, but the gate that would allow you to wander was locked.
Several of the churches had been repurposed, a couple of church shaped buildings not acknowledging their past.
Lots of beautiful gothic facades for which a little history card would have been greatly appreciated by me.
If I came this way again I think I would stay in Mazzaro, where the cable car descends to, which is far more lively than the tiny village I’m in, there is a bar restaurant down on the beach, you have to go under the train line to reach it but it’s closed. About half the buildings here are derelict, though mine is a recent renovation.
Opposite the station, which featured in The Godfather III is the Hotel Moderna, long abandoned, with broken windows, flapping shutters, and blackberry overtaking the garden at the side.
It is for sake though, so someone might one day rejuvenate, more likely as an airbnb enterprise, there are numerous hotel ruins winding up the hill to Taormina.
Behind my place is an overgrown set of brick stairs set against the cliff face with buckling metal railings, I climbed to the first landing, a shadow of a building on the ground, there were more stairs and railings further back suggesting more buildings higher up.
Another hotel complex, I’m guessing, too dilapidated even for Italians to leave standing, perhaps the overhanging cliff was too prone to sharing.

When their revolution comes, you’ll be his pick against the wall but I’m sure you’ll be happy as long as he says “please” before he shoots.
The term “NSW Labor figure” is now being used by some who might be in a position to know.

Oh and I thought you had been to University. Was trained in the arts of Elegance and Discourse and such ? Are you challenging me and others to Fisticuffs ? Oh I blush for you ..

It isnt 1917 and Monty never said anything like that.

“You lot…”
For all Montie’s short comings he was only ever a self satisfied flatulent Leftie.
I will take him to task over that but no more , I would NEVER wish Him terminal Illness.
Here is the thing … I have seen others wish such on others and wanna know what .. Satan is listening.
But You should be listening to yourselves first.
Yep, you are new here in comparison to many of us who’ve been here well over a decade and seen his vile posts that would sicken Ted Bundy.
And BTW – Munted wants it to be 1917.
Out to You
Jesus? Is that you?
Thanks for popping by.
I think Burgess is holding the name of the traitor over Albo’s head, as it is a Labor politician, to get increased funding. If he doesn’t get more funding we might find out the truth, if he does get the money he will say it was Dastiyari after all which is inconsequential as he is a yesterday man. Then again Burgess may chicken out altogether and once again it will be Dastiyari.

Top Climate Scientist: ‘Global Warming Emergency’ Is a ‘Lie’
Dan Andrews certainly has the personality for it. “NSW Labor figure” might be an effort to confuse.
Before I run (to watch the Swans whose game is running late due to a blackout), a **hat tip** to Roger!
Your “you people” quote of Munted was a fantastic parallel.
obsequiousity, in the wrong channel.
If you were writing a novel or a screenplay premised upon espionage in Australia in which the agent of influence/villain was an Iranian-born unibrow midget university dropout your publisher/producer would say, “Don’t be ridiculous. Nobody would believe it”
Mr. Dastyari denies all wrong-doing, btw.
Except it’s coming from sources close to federal Liberal members with security clearances.

1. I survived six shipwrecks in my career
2. Aged 67, I helped evacuate soldiers from Dunkirk by sea in a small boat

I agree Zulu. I tried to post that but I had trouble with the internet. I needed to put another shilling in the gas meter………………………Said Eccles !!!!!!
Quelle Surprise! They’re both from the southern poverty law center.

Here we go again. Comment after comment of personal abuse. Boring and pointless. Nothing that hasn’t been said before. Kindy kids go wild!
As for Burgess, a distraction if ever I saw one. Dozens of possible candidates. No reason to do it except to blow smoke. And it’s working.
There is a Battle of the Bands happening here – The Shrieking Cockies vs the Yelling Currawongs. It’s deafening out there.
A few raindrops, hope more will happen, as it’s 29C and humid.

She’s back. As nasty as ever.

Zulu: Charles Lightoller, of “Titanic?”
Well done that man.
Other clues were going to be:
3. Was awarded the DCS for wartime exploits
4. was awarded the DSC again – so DSC and Bar
5. commanded an RN destroyer in WWI
6. rammed and sank a U-boat
7. survived the siking of the Titanic in 1912, as Second Officer
I am Charles Lightoller

You Folks are the very worst of the Normiewaffen In Vitro, to be observed and horrified by .
If You exemplify “Rock Ribbed ” Conservatism ..
Well ..
What the heck are you on about? Wot’ is “Normiewaffenin Vitro”? A new brand of German shite red wine or what?
Four Corners journalist Louise Milligan will front the report about the Bellevue Hill school.
I imagine this would have been through the legal wringer so many times there won’t be anything of substance or juicy in it.
Rog, I trust you’re not implying that (unnamed) NSW labore figures are beyond parody?
Four Corners journalist Louise Milligan will front the report about the Bellevue Hill school.
This person, if I can call her that, is NOT A JOURNALIST. Get it right the ALPBC. You Plonkers.

@MikeBenzCyber
Here it is. This is the key paragraph from the NYT CIA Ukraine piece that reveals, explicitly, why the CIA hand-selected the NYT to publish highly classified intelligence & invited hand-selected NYT journalists onto a secret CIA base:
It was to pressure Republicans in Congress.
One of the soldiers, being evacuated was told that Lightoller had served on the “Titanic.” He retorted that, in that case, he might as well jump overboard now, and not wait for the boat to sink. He was told that, if someone could survive the “Titanic”, he could survive anything.
Until there is and taxpayers end up getting stung for the consequences of her shoddy j’ism (again).
Not at all, Rabz.
I’m suggesting that publishers and producers lack imagination.
😀
“Those people go on to run our country for better or for worse.”
Best not to ask what goes on at Labor party youth conferences then.
Haha, you should see what it’s like here Johanna. They’re like Montagues and Capulets. The currawongs love tweaking the tailfeathers of the cockies and the cockies bite the currawongs. No love lost, not at all.
Best event of the day was when I was out walking. A peewee unexpectedly landed on my shoulder. She’s a graduate of the Cafe and now has a territory about a km away, on my walk route.
Has any ALPBC program fallen further than Four Corners? Nilligan not afraid to get in the gutter to further the narrative.
Currently on Sky: “Questions surround empty Victorian prison”
Reminiscent of the empty hospital in Yes Minister.
“the arts industry is the backbone of the Australian economy because it employs more people”…
Tell that to Coal, LNG, Wheat, Wool (and sheep) and the blood sucking Feral and State/Territory Guv’ments (who rely on the taxes and royalties).
As the Minister of the Yartz, Sir Lez Patterson, would say, Yes and more booze if yer’ don’t mind. We need it. Well I do anyway.
Will we get Jamie Packer’s spiral diary entries from Vail?

Hahahahahahaha; ah, hahahahahaha.
His majesty apologising unreservedly in public, for being a shithead. We can guess what brought that on.
No need to wish it on mUnty. We are all suffering from a terminal condition, we have all been born, we will all die.
Bolton is very disappointed in you lot. For shame.
Mark Bolton, you are an appalling, unthinking fool who imagines that a conversation comprises an exchange of inane pieties. Nobody else here, not even m0nty, is that stupidly mindless.
You really don’t belong on a blog where most have a sense of humour and the concomitant sense of proportion. For everyone’s sake, go away.
Let us all say a quite prayer that SCOTUS decides Trump does have immunity and the Appeals court tells letitia and engoron to suck their dicks. That will leave fani and her rainy night in Georgia and the other fat black bastard alvin.
“Senator Thorpe, siddown and shuddup!”
No, nor any other program. ACA’s dogged pursuit of dodgy washing machine repairmen looks like a paragon of investigative journalism in comparison.
Consequently – Fockorners, moreso than any of the ABC’s stable is now generally ignored. As it should be.
The currawongs love tweaking the tailfeathers of the cockies and the cockies bite the currawongs. No love lost, not at all.
Not surprisingly, the animal life in the suburbs are more comfortable with people than their rural cousins. This arvo we had a “standoff” between the rainbow lorikeets, a couple of maggies & a lone water dragon. All were on our top balcony where they bully my husband into feeding them.
Of course the dragon and the birds have different tastes, but it doesn’t stop the dragon from charging the birds if they get too close to his dinner plate. I might add that this particular water dragon also lunges at husband’s bare feet.
Must be the smelly toes.
It both shocks and pains my ego to write this, but ‘credit where credit is due.’ To do so publicly, deserves acknowledgement. I’m impressed (on a sub-atomic scale), but also bewildered. I think my medication needs adjusting.
Hang on DBG.
Oh wait. That’s about right.
Smelly toes!
I don’t have any water dragons sadly, and nor does my local creek. Sometimes I see itinerant tortoises though, so the creek does have some inhabitants.
Consequently – Fockorners, moreso than any of the ABC’s stable is now generally ignored. As it should be.

That’s great coming from you Johanna, personal invective. No mirrors in the motel then?
Good to watch with just still pics. Also good to know she received some decent coin in the long run. David Gilmour said yep. This has to be rectified …. 30 quid for this initial performance.
It involved legal.

I’m embarrassed to say, it’s been posted on the wrong blog. Seriously.I thought i was on CL’s and pressed post. I’ve asked Dover to remove it.
In the interests of inclusivity, most everybody else here will happily reciprocate that sentiment back to Mr. Bolton.
The Moonlight State was his high tide mark.
And, mind you, that would have been impossible to produce without the work of a handful of honest QLD police officers who had everything documented.
I thought everyone knew that about Dastyari.
I’ve listened to some of the Lex interview of Tucker.
It is more interesting hearing him discuss his interview with Putin than the original interview itself.
He intimated that off the record, before the interview started, Putin made it clear he wants a deal in Ukraine to end the war.
So wishing lingering death. Infantile pub car park call outs … Lieing instantly and shamelessly about what others have said. Represents the pinnacle of urbane sophisticated upwardly mobile Normiewaffen badiniage.
VicPlod isn’t really up to the job is it.
How are the nanowrigglers?
You really do have zero sense of humour.
Sounds like nanowrigglers are about done and ready to move on.
As of today, Mr. Dastyari has denied being the ex-politician in question.
We might reasonably expect six more such denials from others before the Sabbath.
Dammit, JC!
Did I just give you credit when I didn’t need to?
(Heh. Funny though).
I reckon it’s someone more important, more influential.
If you weren’t shipwrecked in those days were you even trying? I read one book where the guy was away about 6 years and came home to find his wife had remarried with kids. I think he just set off again, which seems fair enough.
