Good evening
This thread is unfortunately dedicated to the MX5, long since confined to the dustbin of history. Or so certain people thought.
Earlier:
Part-time bovver boy, earlier:
Your MX5?
Your what?
Do you mean…. your Miata?
Oh my lord.
A snappy inch of rain in four or five minutes in D-Town.
Send ‘er down, Hughie.
Check out Lars von Retriever’s “North Korean Army Band” videos.
“I want to break free” is exceptionally well done – it fooled a TV station here or there, say so the comments.
Do not ever forget, Cats – Pol Dot is the Svengali behind this classic …
Let’s not have any cheap shots about existing in a Kampuchean jungle, I recommends ya! 🙂
Another MX5 driver.
Oh dearie me.
To be continued. Immense comedy value beckons.
Knuckle Dragger, we loaned $6k to our daughter for a 1998 MX5 British racing green, beautiful vehicle.
This was in 2019. Two days later she smashed it into my car in our driveway,.
She was working for Rick Stein at the time, managing his restaurant at Port Stephen’s, and we had to buy her a little second-hand Honda Jazz for the time being, it was actually a pretty car, and I kept it for a while after the Mazda went back on the road,,l
The Way, All Star or Its All Been Done is more like it for from that time Rabz you goon.
Quite frankly I thought I was going to see Kim Wilde crawling around in sweat and body paint.
Of course we never saw the $6k.
Anyway, the MX5 is now a rally car, we sold. It to the son of a sailing mate. Spouse and he sail a nice 38ft timber schooner, they have gone to Hobart a few times.
There are 17 and a half MILLION different combinations of three letters, three numerals.
Go three numerals before the letters, there’s 17 million more again.
Go letter letter, numeral numeral, letter letter like the poms, and there’s 45 million.
And yet we’re stuck with WA transport issuing all sorts of narrow profile plates, fancy flat plates, plates polluted with frangipanis and zodiac symbols, 80’s Eagles logos- and daftest of all, grey on black, or red on black, almost impossible for your average propositioned schoolkid or dingle victim to get a quick read of.
I shouldn’t be surprised that there are duplications, to boot.
WA shire plates have two letters, a “big spot” – which apparently bamboozles the AI digital photo readers and are being recalled- and numbers after. I’ve had my shire plates since my first car, last century. I’m so old when I can remember when it was quite a show when getting new wheels to get new plates and a new loooong number- now the inverse is trendy, the children of regional relocators put dibs on their grandparents shire plates so that they can show off VP.4 or WM.38 on their 2021 Toyotas. AU.29845 just doesn’t cut the same dash on the bypass or Maccas drive-thru.
Correction- the two-letter abbreviations were not from shires, but rather road boards, precursors of the PWD and then statewide Main Roads.
Three-letter combos came later, some for clarity with newly gazetted shires, some with mergers of depopulated shires. The spots aren’t as big, but still bug the traffic cops.
Wally: I’ve read a few articles on the internet tonight, thus in my new capacity of friggin expert on number plates, I unprompted share with you my newly gained wisdom;
In Australia vehicles are registered, as opposed to being licenced. (Yeah, that had me reaching for the heftiest volume of the paper/dead tree dictionary I can lay my hands on)
Apparently that is the reason behind why state government zombies who’ve been shoved sideways into the dept of selecting number plate combinations – as opposed to licence plate combinations – manage to sometimes have the same number plates in circulation in different states.
Funnily enough I know two people who have tried on the “sovereign citizen” routine when pulled over. ie more than try it on, dedicated off-grid wild types.
One of them has basically got away with it so far, maybe because he’s in the hills, doesn’t do many miles anyway and the local coppers can’t be arsed filing the paperwork.
It’s probably the work of a milisecond for ststes to get their databases together and work out what duplicates they have- but then what, how to recall them, esp in a live digital system where at any second a car could cop a speeding fine, parking ticket, or toll?
…
Once I was tempted to buy a private plate combo which would reproduce a very old plate from a now obsolete road board, but I thought nah can’t be bothered being one of those guys to the tune of $500.
Years ago I bought MF 135 to put on my Massey Ferguson… it was $310 then, but I was young and drunk on MultiPower.

Had a coffee and a cornetto intergrale around the corner from my apartment after paying a visit to the handy church of St Philip the Apostle.
The rugged up little very old lady hogging the only regular table and chairs at the cafe turned out to be a Londoner out visiting her son who has lived here for over forty years, told me it had rained in London for four months straight.
She was having a nice cup of tea before unenthusiastically heading out for lunch with the family, she was prepared to eat chicken.
You eat what you like when you’re 92.
I decided to circumnavigate Ortigia, so to speak, on this fine sunshiny day, got lunch at the famous sandwich place in the market, I guess it was worth the 20 minute wait.
The harbour side of Ortigia to the right of Fascist Avenue is where most of the eateries are, it’s much more sheltered from the wind.
I thought the peninsula was a military zone but turns out that’s only one building, there’s actually a castle called Castello Maniace, named after the Byzantine general who took Siracusa back from the Arabs in 1038.
The limestone castle was built in the 12 and 13th century, you can walk the rampants and the moat, as well as visiting the gunnery and a beautiful great hall. €5 entry.
Walked past the Jewish ritual baths, last guided tour for the day was at 13.00 and I dont suppose they do them on Saturdays so that might have to be another time.
Watched grey clouds chasing over the bay as I walked around the castle, just started to spit as I walked down the narrow lane to mine.
All was quiet, not a soul to be seen.
If I were Dutton, I would put on a Saturday presser every week outside any bankrupted business, closed craft brewery, shut pub, mothballed power station- even an empty Air B&B- and say
“This place was once a business, an employer, a producer, but now it has been taxed out of existence. Any questions?”

This George Galloway win in the UK by-election is very interesting.
The establishment line is that that the Labour chap would have won if he wasn’t dis-endorsed by the party for anti-semitic comments.
Maybe.
Others are saying that was a convenient excuse for Labour as they were going to have a massive swing against them anyway according to polling before the dis-endorsement.
The general election later this year will show which narrative is more correct.
If you’re a loud mouth with some form of profile/recognition anywhere on the political spectrum this is the election to try your chances.
Usually the Brit’s first past the post system favours the bigger parties.
Maybe because how little trust the punters have in the establishment, they’ll be a rack of independents getting up.
Sure the Tories are going to get smashed.
And maybe Labor ends up with an Albo style one/two seat majority.
Some people just lose the genetic lottery.
But for many, too much sugar, not enough animal fat & too little exercise.
This is why peoples brains are deteriorating.
A few days ago I watched a vid by a Brit who walked through a number of British cities. The decline is sad. Britain has huge problems with no obvious solutions. Other analyses I’ve come across paint a very gloomy future. It seems no-one has any idea about how Britain can recover.
APOE 4 carriers are big genetic lottery losers. Not just for dementia, also obesity, diabetes, and CVD.
Most people have plenty of animal fat but too often oxidized animal fat. Too much sugar and too little exercise are the big ones.

EXPOSED: The witch doctors scamming Brits with terminal cancer and promising £3,000 cure (1 Mar)
I suppose in part it’s due to the medical profession losing trust – not helped by supposed scientific things like masks and lockdowns which made things worse not better. And the climate screeching turns off the punters too. On the other hand in certain communities long traditions are very hard to get rid of – like out own aboriginal people. I wonder if this stuff is prevalent in some of our immigrant communities?

If Alzheimers is an autoimmune disease, then add it to the raft of autoimmune diseases plaguing modern life. Allergies have exploded and diet alone, I don’t think can explain it. What coincides with this rise is the over sanitation of food and general life. Every time you ingest a sanitiser, you’re antagonising your micro biome. Some will die but others will survive but be forced to enact a defence mechanism. We see those defence mechanisms in nature as a biofilm. What if many of these diseases are caused by us provoking a defence mechanism in our micro biome? Perhaps among the billions of microbes, some defend themselves by manipulating our immune system?
Use traditional soap, sparingly, reconsider all your personal hygiene habits to reduce the amount of sanitation you are exposed to, processed food is sanitised heavily, that’s why it’s a risk factor, eat less salt and cured meats.
Perhaps this is an explanation:
We’re still adapting to some foods. Adaptation is worth it, but it has costs.

Liver king, lol.
Cooking a steak in canola oil is one of the least worst things you can do with it.
Canola oil if expeller pressed only and deodorised at “low” temperature and a hard vacuum might even be moderately good – preserving tocopherols and any other biological building blocks.
If the omega 3/6 ratio is whack, just eat baked snapper on Friday.
How you use the animal is a big deal. When I did full paleo for a bit I’d re-bake chicken carcasses.
What’s left tastes fishy. No I don’t know if it was a good idea, no acid digestion or a HPLC/GC/MS at home. Darker meat generally does have more omega 3 and fat content.
@ Rosie:
“AK47s?’
Interesting sound:
The general AK “family” has a fairly distinct “cadence” in “auto” mode.
What was on that clip sounds distinctly like “semi-auto”, one shot per trigger-pull. Where were the bullets going? Into the crowd of truck ransackers? Or, into piles of rubble or into the air, to fall and injure someone kilometres away, conveniently providing more theatrical opportunities?
What was the body count? GSW vs “crush” injuries.
The entire thing reeks of “Paliwood”

I’ll continue to wait until one is presented.
Canola = No. Salt = Yes.
My theory with Canola is if you don’t eat the plant, why eat its oil? Might be nonsense, or could be a monstrously conceived commie plot to sicken the population. Either way I’m sticking with it.

Not sure what it will be but it’s going to cost them.

Not an expert, but unless they are using coal, sails or electric, some kind of liquid fuel seems essential.
Bunker oil might (again I don’t know) need to be heated, but in the climate of the Red Sea, would probably seep into the holds if there are leaks in the fuel lines.
In either case, wise men might be a little careful approaching a potential bomb, even for a good salvage price.

Jan. 6 Journalist Facing an FBI ARREST Reveals Who’s Calling the Shots
The FBI has ordered investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker to turn himself in, but he believes the full story is even more corrupt than it sounds. Baker is facing misdemeanor charges connected to his reporting at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. But he still hasn’t been told what the charges are. Steve joins Glenn to lay out how he’ll respond. For starters, the FBI told him to show up in shorts and flip flops so he can be marched out in an orange jumpsuit and leg chains — which is an extremely unprecedented move. But Steve tells Glenn what he’ll wear instead. And he also explains who he believes is really behind his arrest and the prosecution of many others who were at the Capitol: “There is ever more evidence of the insane corruption at the top of the Capitol Police…they are more powerful than Congress itself.”
Extraordinary. It makes you wonder what would happen if some of these FBI/DOJ cowboys came to arrest Trump. What would his security team do?
Even the Victoriastan court system may not save The Chairman now.

2. if it’s digitised you can read it online
3. if not, follow the links and pay a set fee – about $25
4. they will email you when it’s found and photographed and placed online.
5. now read online.

Russia did the same with the Shaheeds for a while at least, they were operated by the Iranians. The usual wheezes tend to get used also, which is service personnel are “on holiday” or are mercenaries. The latter is a famous CIA one from memory.
One of the funnier ones was when Ukraine took delivery of some German artillery. About a week later the Ukies started complaining that the German guns were breaking down and were useless. It turned out they were firing a thousand shells a day out of barrels designed for at most a hundred. The Germans were horrified.

Feminism, gay movement, 3rd nations, alphabet folk, global boiling, pallis etc are all symptoms of societal decadence. When the basics are subordinated to the lies inherent in all of these movements than your society is fuked. The 2 areas which make sure social reality is coordinated with actual reality, science and the law, have been subverted so the gap between social reality and actual reality is widening and breaking.

No, none of the files I require are available online yet, and there are several dozen of them, which makes it a bit too steep for me in a financial sense, given that I don’t know if the content of each file will be useful until it is viewed.
Hence why I’m seeking a ‘real person’ to copy the files for me. A couple of hundred for a day or so for a researcher (someone who’s retired perhaps, and looking for pocket money; No, I’m not meaning yourself, T.E. (I couldn’t afford you!), versus maybe $750 to get 30+ files digitised. Having dragged myself through the last few years of state-sponsored financial and mental torture (where’s Amnesty International when you need them?), money is being counted down to the cent.
I’ll ponder other options a while longer. I simply thought you might know someone in a social sense. Cheers.
As I’m sure you know, eighty-one years ago today was the beginning of the short-but-brutal ‘Battle of the Bismarck Sea‘ where U.S. and Australian aircraft sent 16 Japanese ships of a convoy of 20, to the bottom of the Huon Gulf. After the Battle of the Coral Sea, I consider it to be the most significant naval combat event in the SWPA, though no Allied naval vessels were directly involved.
The loss of perhaps 4,000 troops (and supplies & equipment) affected the Japanese Lae-Salamaua force’s ability to make a second attempt at dislodging the Australians from the Bulolo Valley.

I admit I was reaching to call an Air B&B an “employer”- at the very least it’s hard to tell from the kerb- but in as much as they are in the sights for shutdown via regulation by half the shires in SW WA.
But, they are of course businesses, if only for the self-employed, and sometimes for cleaners. And they are the type of business activity which are brought into calculation y the beancounting spruikers of such lines as “The Mardi Gras generates $800 000 000 000 for the state”.
And the yr 9 class was coached by their pinko teacher as to how Air B&B was leading to the rentals “crisis”.
Another- mate with a holiday house further down the coast was told to deregister Air B&B because it was a bushfire hazard. Well, what’s more of a hazard or a headache for emergency services, an unoccupied house with gutters full of leaves, or a place with occupation and therefore traffic, turnover, income, neighbours and maintenance? He’s now put it on Facepage D&Ms and has still filled about half this avergae calendar with a lot better-behaved clients- had to put the cleaner on cash payments, who was happy to do it for a good whack less to boot.

Homosexuality has always had a demonstrative, performance arm, just as there has always been monogamous old queers living like spinsters in the suburbs and husbands rogering each other in public toilets on their way home from work to the wife preparing dinner for the kids. AIDS was the prelude for Covid. In Australia at least, predominantly if not exclusively, a disease for a certain subset of homosexuals once the transmission process was understood. Good luck in finding that anywhere amongst government communication.

Ah! I was scrolling backwards and saw Top Ender’s post prior to Peter’s.
Many thanks, Peter, that would be greatly appreciated.
I will contact Lord Dover, and we’ll get the ball rolling.
Cheers.
Muddy, as I said up-thread, I can do it for you for just the costs they charge.
Dover can give you my email address.
Couldn’t get past the first few minutes, miltonf. Sickening platitudes.

That sound you hear is the beep and buzz of deleting information. And the whirr of shredders. Michael Warner reporting on something other than sport in the Hun:
Daniel Andrews has been ordered to hand over his personal telephone and credit card records relating to a Blairgowrie car crash involving a teenage cyclist.
As I have said before. What about the Insurance Assessors Report on the incident, assuming that the car was insured and that a claim was made. This never seems to have been mentioned in any reporting of the accident that I’ve ever seen.
Sydney does seem to have an attraction for a certain demographic.
Is Elton John moving to Australia? (1 Mar)
Much better weather than Pommyland at least.
With all the talk about pub carpet last night, it’s a wonder there was no mention of the dreaded carpet burns (maybe because pub carpets were too moist to generate the required heat)
Shades of Popasnya.
Yellow card for moist.
I used to and prefer regional Victoria.
I live in Melbourne and visit NE Victoria on a regular basis. The regional areas are no better. Speaking to a friend up there who teaches at a local high school. She mentioned about the gender fluid issues they have to deal with. I asked her where is all this sh!t coming from? Why is the school pushing it? She responded it wasn’t the school it was certain zealot parents pushing it on their kids and forcing the school to affirm support. As if kids and teachers do not have enough challenges in education / life but now have to endure this made up religion foisted upon them.

Thanks, Peter.
I was a bit slow finding your reply, but I’m about to email Dover.
Wife and I are seniors, and every time we go to the doctor we are asked to take yet another Pfizer jab, MRNA, to “boost your resistance to COVID”.
We say no. The latest Seniors newsletter does the same promo job, seemingly oblivious to the growing list of people more injured by the MRNA than by the virus.
Cool.

Why does Dan have trouble finding golf partners?
Does he have trouble counting?
He won’t let me borrow the knee pads.
And a facade it is.
It is a thin veneer of victimised sainthood resting lightly over the top of a decomposing elephant carcass of bitchiness, gang bangs, drug use, jealousy, domestic violence and internal power struggles – all at levels the bog-standard heterosexuals could never hope to achieve.
Still playing out:

Tow it into Aden Harbour and let the Yeminis sort out the problem they caused.
Very much an Ultimo issue. ALPBC Rural is arguably the only bit worth saving. They even have people run for the Lieborals or Nationals periodically but we won’t hold that against them.
Interesting:
The Telegraph’s (UK) poll of Rochester voters revealed 67% thought cost of living was a major issue (followed by crime in the town centre and waiting lists for government services like the NHS) while only 8% said the same about the conflict in Gaza.
One respondent is quoted saying, “There’s no point in tackling world peace when the area you live in is a s—hole.”
‘All politics is local.’
Could it be that Elton John debauched the Old Dart and now wants to escape what it has become?
What cost in terms of blood and treasure for Putin?
To save the joint, we have to burn it down?
Blaming the decline of the British Empire on Elton John is a bit of a stretch. His music isn’t that bad although not really my cup of tea.
New Shogun series on Disney is very good so far.
From the OOT:
They aren’t denting supply on the front. Still, the problem here is that Russia is large, it has established industries deep in its interior (Urals and beyond) and a effective rail network that can move gear westwards along multiple lines, and they can repair lines that are disrupted. There is just no scenario in which moving large numbers of tanks, etc. across large distances is better by road than by rail.
As someone who has lived overseas for years, Sir Elton could probably afford to buy somewhere modest in Sydney.
I’ll say.

There are several solutions to Britains problems. And the solutions are obvious. It’s just that no one is going to risk being called ‘racist’ – obviously a fate worse than death.
But have no fear, the solutions WILL be enacted when enough shit has hit the fan to stir the peasantry into action.
Lord Dover.
I’ve just sent you an email asking if you can forward it to Peter Greagg, please.
No hurry. Thanks.
From the OOT:
It can certainly fight a defensive battle on four fronts. Whether NATO can sustain offensive operations on four fronts and win is an open question. At some point it would have to choose at least one of these fronts for a decisive operation and for the life of me, the Russian Pacific Coast would be the dumbest to choose, given the distances, terrain, weather, etc.

Nice try. WW1 and WW2 broke the UK. All downhill from then on. And who needs an Empire anyway? The only Empire I remember as a boy was the Empire Cinema down the road near the Docks.

Very well said Winston. And the same goes for Sunny Australia.
Post war Britain was certainly no fun. Worse than Rotten’s jokes.
She responded it wasn’t the school it was certain zealot parents pushing it on their kids and forcing the school to affirm support.
And until these weirdos are confronted, opposed and nuked they’ll continue to destroy our society. They will because they don’t want affirmation and acceptance. The bastards want revenge for their weirdness and because they hate normal society. But no one will stand up to them.
