Whats a collingwood?

Yes…but sadly the Bunnies got flogged by Canbra
Of to Cork on the bus tomorrow. The train goes via Limerick and only very late or very early so bus it is.
The walking tour from the Bishop’s palace around the Viking triangle was good, about 50 minutes, some good local history without treading on domestic bunions.
A couple of Australian connections, the inventor of the Irish flag Thomas Meagher was transported to Van Diemens Land for his part in the Rebellion of 1848 but escaped to America where he took part in the Civil War.
And in the Bishop’s palace museum was a walking stick once owned by Archbishop Mannix, given to his friend De Valera.
Huguenots also got a mention, they apparently introduced white bread to Waterford and the ‘blaa’ was born.
I wanted to buy one but Dunnes only sold four packs.
I’ve a little soda bread loaf I’m slowly working through anyhow.
That’s a very good bread indeed.
Oh and the Irish pronoun scone ‘scown’, which I though was an Americanism.
https://www.ucc.ie/en/theirishrevolution/feature-articles/a-forgotten-alliance-that-shaped-ireland.html
My Scottish forebears pronounced it that way to.
Rosie I think I read somewhere that the Americans call scones ‘biscuits.’
The NSW town Scone is pronounced ‘Scown.’

Tucker Carlson Live Interview With Gavin McInnes

Here in St Moritz, in the middle of Switzerland, with a warning for you: Do NOT come here and get your bike serviced – you have been warned! Near our (three-star) hotel is a bike shop. The one on sale out the front was a snip at Aus$8,632, or you can get a minor service for $705. Every second car is a BMW – the others are all Porsches, Ferraris and Lambos. Maseratis are the only real head turners.
From Zurich we took a 1928 paddleboat steamer, and then a train trip to Lucerne. Into the Alps and magnificent scenery of course. Moving around the cities to see the sights – Lindt chocolate factory was one – is easy with an incredibly efficient (and free if you are the right age!) public transport system. We took the Bernina Express to get to St Moritz, twice home to the Winter Olympics; which features in the Peter Sarstedt song “Where do you Go To my Lovely?”:
And when the snow falls you’re found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don’t
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed?
Won’t you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Apparently Sarstedt was earning £60K from it in 1998, even though it was released in 1969.
Tomorrow is skiing via helicopter, and then apres-ski with some shallow pretentious famous film types who have photographers trailing them. Magnums of Bollinger and impudent little skewers of well-done lamb before settling in for five courses and a string quartet. Alternatively it could be checking out some sights with the help of the 50% off Swiss Travel Pass. I’m sure Mrs TE will tell me.
People only look at Maserati coz they’re considered poor mans Porche.
Swiss trains are pretty good.
I can also recommend a trip/visit to Evolène and Saas-Fee
Oh, and the pizza shop next door to the bike shop was selling pizza by the slice – for $9 each.
None with pineapple I hope.
And the Swiss also to be elite use a different power plug from the rest of Europe.

When a mature coconut falls from its tree and remains undisturbed, a remarkable transformation begins.
Inside the hard shell, the coconut water starts to be absorbed by the inner seed, leading to the formation of a unique structure known as a “coconut apple” or “sprouted coconut.”
This coconut apple has a fluffy, cotton-like texture and a sweet, juicy taste that is both delightful and nourishing.
As the coconut apple develops, it provides essential nutrients to the growing embryo within the seed. This nourishment is crucial for the germination process, enabling the embryo to sprout and eventually grow into a new coconut tree.
The coconut apple’s role in this natural cycle is vital, as it ensures the continuation of coconut trees in tropical regions.
Credit: Earth Unreal
It’s a remarkable plant, Every part of the coconut is usable by humans, at every stage – for food, shelter and construction.
You’re one of many people Micheal Caine was talking about.
Fun fact. Another plant wiped out and kept out by custodians of the land.
Cook & Flinders were scratching their heads why the tropics of Australia had no coconuts but they were everywhere in the TI & south Pacific.
Turns out the custodians of the land worked out they were edible and like the megafauna promptly at them out of existence.
https://www.dark-emu-exposed.org/home/ancient-australians-the-worlds-first-9p2h6-hmgfm-tsr6f-wsjp9
Now NQ councils with greenies are trying to assert coconuts aren’t native to remove them from shorelines. Whitsunday Council is zealous on this one, they are at it again despite a few years back rate payers overwhelmingly telling them to leave their coconut palms alone.
How can a plant that has as a survival strategy the ability to float around and survive be ‘un-natural.’?
It seems that greenies only value things that are failures/dead ends.
Paris 2024 “apologizes” for ‘Last Supper’ sketch after criticism
No, that’s a dishonest non-apology. There was clearly an intention to do exactly that.
Oh you did Tony. That’s the problem.
That’s a bullshit apology if I ever heard one.
Woah. That’s doubling down on the insult.
This is not just the fault of the gay bloke who pulled it all together. This had to have gone through multiple approval and sign off processes. The French elite and its Olympic Committee have shown us exactly what they value. And togetherness ain’t it.
“Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [
Of course there was. To be expected from the first muslim country to host the Olympics.
It took the French to stuff up a 2000 year old cultural event. They deserve everything they get from the muzzies and the gays – they’ve surrendered again, without a fight.
Since October 7 2023, a hideous cauldron of leftist, far-leftist and Pallie Nazi supporters have been allowed to walk through London streets on a weekly basis, spewing Jew hatred, spruiking Hamas as freedom fighters, threatening people (particularly Jews), and waving Hamas, Hezbollah and Nazi flags. Muslim radical organisations like Hizbut Tahrir been been allowed to scream through megaphones….’Yahood, Yahood, Yahood, the armies of Mohamad are coming for you‘. All the while London plod have done nothing because you see, London plod are now big on ‘context’, apparently threatening and screaming death to Jews and waving swastikas in the air depends on the ‘context’ and so there have been no arrests of the aforementioned human scum, and the UK Tory government and now UK Labour government sit back and wash their hands, it was just all too hard.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, a British patriot, a lad from Luton, a man who has sounded the alarm about Islam for years now, a working class lad who’s the true descendant of Wat Tyler, organised a rally of almost 100,000 UK patriots, of ordinary men and women of all colours and religions who walked London streets peacefully, singing ‘Rule Britannia’ and “God save the King’, waving the Union Jack, waving the flag of St George, waving the Israeli flag, waving the flag of Imperial Iran, shouting how they wanted their country back.
Overnight the London Plod have again arrested this lad from Luton, this British patriot. And the charge? Well wait for it, don’t fall off your seat, the lad from Luton has been arrested under ‘anti-terrorism’ laws for leading an entirely peaceful march through the streets of London on Saturday.
Coz, you see, it’s all about the ‘context’.
But we here can’t point any fingers. Whilst the NSWaffen Police have been busy rounding up the Wakeley Church Christian rioters, not one Muslim or leftist rioter from Monday night 9 October 2023 has yet been charged…..
NOT ONE.

Keep on telling it like it is, Cassie, because there are few enough voices doing this at present in any media. I wish the Cat had a wider reach, even though I think it does get around more than some think. On the plus side of that, the Cat doesn’t come under too much official scrutiny, which makes it one of the best sites around for getting a genuine spread of views.

Karvelas runs a curious article this morning on the ABC talking about the Cabinet reshuffle but also citing an ANU study that indicates a significant slump in confidence in the Albanese government.”Confidence in the government has steadily declined from 51.2 per cent in January 2023 to 38.5 per cent in January 2024.” The conclusion drawn is that disillusion is not specific to one group but the level of education achieved (ie completed a degree or not) seems to be a factor, with those without a degree more likely to have lost confidence. Immigration and housing affordability are mentioned as key issues being addressed in the reshuffle.
I can’t help but think that both the study and Karvelas are misdirecting focus away from some of the biggest issues eroding confidence in the Albanese government such as the increased cost of living,energy costs and unreliability, the costs of doing business and anger that even though The Voice was defeated at the referendum, the general public is being subjected to increased Native title legislation, unsolicited unpronounceable Aboriginal name changes and a raft of other measures that are undermining confidence in the government. I would be interested in others views as I had difficulty unravelling the article. Linked here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-29/anthony-albanese-reshuffle-voter-confidence/104152634
No means NO
Not to them, it doesn’t. They are determined to enforce their woke narrative on us and are behaving as if we don’t have the right to complain about their Glorious Future they have planned for us.
It is interesting that the Government has also dropped the ‘Assistant Minister for the Republic’ role. Particularly after Murdoch stated that we would be a republic within 10 years and the ABC ran a long interview last week with one of the joint heads of the republic movement. The texts and emails selected for broadcast in response to the interview were surprisingly quite diverse.

Some years ago, I did a tourist trip around the Paris Sewers – yes, yes, I know, but it was fascinating.
One Fun Fact sticks in my mind. Paris is dog central and (as any pedestrian knows) they are generally allowed to crap wherever and nobody picks up.
Apparently this generates 50 tonnes per day of al fresco dog poo, much of which ends up in the Seine via the stormwater system.
It appears the €1.4bn panic sewer upgrade was not enough.

And in Victoria with the massive overbuild and in may cases not needed projects started but not yet finished under Dan, the public is being overwhelmed and now held to ransom.
Victoria is now a drag on the rest of Australia economically.
And will be for the next 10 to 20 years. Victoriastan is what, roughly 1/3 of the Australian economy?
A quarter.
Thanks. I work on WA as roughly one tenth, although punches well above this on exports.
New South Wales 30.3%
Victoria 22.2%
Queensland 19.7%
Western Australia 17.4%
South Australia 5.5%
Tasmania 1.6%.
And before anyone is tempted to Reeee! That nasty old calli is a homophobe!…
I’m sophisticated enough to know that there is a certain type of homosexual who despises women. They are usually very quiet about it, but it’s there. It’s latent in the mannerisms adopted, and finds obvious expression in drag queens and the like.
Fashion designers who want their models to look like pre pubescent boys being another example.
If they liked women they wouldn’t be homosexual.

We need anti-racketeering laws.
Labor aren’t going to enforce them*, nor will the Judges they’ve put in place. But they’re worthwhile anyway.

Fiji Time. This is a popular statement, made when anything is late or goes wrong, which on this cruise is frequently. Their word for it seems to connote rather what the Mexican word ‘manyana’ suggests, which is that life is lazy and there’s no use bothering too much about things. Well, fine in one of these ‘semi-subsistence’ (their description) villages in these outer islands, but it doesn’t translate as well to running mass tourism on a cruise. The time sheets handed out for catching the Zodiacs to various activities are hints rather than achieved realities. Case in point was the visit to a village church service. We got away well over an hour late and arrived just as the hour-long service finished and the congregation had dispersed.
The Chief welcoming us told us he had good news and the bad. The bad news was that the service was over, the tide was out too far now where we came in, and we had to walk a mile across a series of beachside volcanic rocks for the Zodiacs to beach safely now for our return journey after a walk through the village in the approaching dusk. The good news was that we could put our contributions in the collection dish now as he passed it around. As the village is obviously poor most of us dutifully put in our suggested five, ten or twenty dollars. Hairy donated ten. Middling appreciation. He and I had copped a big wave from the wash of the water as we entered the Zodiac and we were both soaked from the waist down.
They did allow us to enter and view the church, a rendered brick building unlike many of the more shantyish houses (except those solid homes of the elders and chiefs and their families). Young kids shyly wished us ‘bula’ (a welcome) behind louvres from the dark interiors of buildings. There was a primary school and a good playing field, some solar panels and a noisy generator going, plus rainwater tanks. Fishing tinnies with outboards seemed to be the main equipment, used a lot for travel too. We suspected Chiefly collections and ties to various Fijian organisations and government provided the main monetary incomes.
Apart from the fact that the people had a strong Christian culture and social organisation, the Big Man led culture of tradition seemed to us like many Australian aboriginal communities. But in Fiji, put a stick in the ground and up grows a breadfruit tree or similar, or dig up some root vegies almost growing wild, and you’ve got a ready food supply. Just add ocean produce for proteins. Reminded me a lot of some New Guinea highland villages I saw in 1965, although those were more primitive in style, non-coastal and had a sweet potato economic base. While we were in the church a kindly Fijian woman elder led a prayer for us which we all joined in for the amen, and the deep religiosity of the people was evident by the care taken to provide the church with its fiercely apple green curtaining everywhere, fully enhanced by elaborate white lacework around the altar and its setting.
Our trip back to the ship in the dusk was further enhanced by some Fiji Time loss of the lifejackets the Zodiac operatives had collected when we arrived. They had to go all the way back by Zodiac to our arrival point to collect the half of them (including ours) that they had forgotten to bring to this new point. Meanwhile a wind blew up more and the narrow gap we had to make between the reef edges became more indistinct and rougher. It was too dark to make out the cabin numbers on the lifejackets so they were passed out pot luck, with much fuss about making impossible readjustments to fit someone else’s size wasting further valuable minutes. Hairy got one that ended up clipping only above his armpits not around his waist.
We got back tired and unhappy, showered, missed the cocktail hour and were ready just in time for dinner. The food is reasonable, more home cooking than not, but they do try with the presentation, and we both regretted taking the tough duck rather than the nice-looking Osso Bucci, After dinner though, the fashion parade of traditional dress was a treat, fifteen minutes late of course, but so good-hearted you couldn’t object. The staff were the mannequins for the parade around of firstly the chief’s outfit, all decked out out in orange tapa with a train, the more tapa the richer and more important the chief. The chief was attended by warriors in the seagrass skirts worn by men more than women, fierce men carrying ceremonial polished but business-like knock-out sticks. Then came a bride and groom in traditional tapa with floral adornments, the effect probably enhanced by missionary attitudes, and much fun when the groom got down on his knees to propose to the giggling, hand over mouth, much blushing bride. Then came the admitted missionary-inspired clothing, very sensible and still worn a lot today, cotton shifts worn over easy-waisted skirts for both men and women, but differently styled.
All was forgiven by us when this adorned crew then burst forth into two long and marvellous Fijian hymns, sung with such affect and verve, with independent rills making up the whole, that it brought tears to my eyes. Such joy these people, staff on the ship, had in expressing their sincere Christianity, their belief in ultimate Salvation and their hope for their lives shared together. If only, I mused, they could conquer Fiji Time, and organise their kids into picking up the mess of rubbish everywhere in and around the village, then their future would be assured.
Vinaka!
Lovely Lizzie thank you so much!

When I was a young tacker I went off from my country school to St George’s College at UWA. Building and grounds in the spirit of the old Oxbridge colleges. The college was run by a very special lady called Matron. I know, I never knew her real name. Held in great affection and respect by everyone there, she clearly ran things with a firm hand. And a loving one.
One day I was running in the Quad, came a gutser on the eroded, sharp-toothed old concrete slab path, and chopped up the skin in my knees rather impressively.
Matron took one look at the damage; “Oooh, balum-balum!” she said.
She served many years in Fiji as a nurse she told me. Balum-balum means ‘hairy legs!’
For many inclined to alt-theories this is a feature not a bug.
Shirley not.
Calli, it’s a joint effort of enemies of the people, the train saboteurs and head loppers prevent the normal people from attending the Olympics opening celebrations while the “artistic” homosexuals insult all those who do manage to attend or watch remotely.
Frankly (ha) I am not surprised the French blew it, they truly had nowhere to go except down for the wow value. Degeneracy was their only option.
They would have done better to have had dancers dressed as bottles of French perfume and others as bottles of wine. Should have gone with their strengths like the Brits who had wheeled hospital beds as part of their presentations.
We can truly say that for a backwater country we had a classy act with The TAP DOGS at the Sydney 2000 opening ceremony. Even the Driza-Bone clad drovers’ whip-cracking exhibition was way above anything I have seen in Paris.
Oh, I don’t know. We had the Victa mowers pushed around on display.
We are little amused, Monsieur.
Lot of that going on right now.

Hey Cats, were you more scandalised by the Last Supper tableau during the Paris opening ceremony, or the headless Marie Antoinette? Tough choice, you lot still cry over the French Revolution.
It should be pointed out that the Olympic Games predate both Marie Antoinette and Jesus Christ. And that you are whiny little crybabies.
Oh, look, everybody, the resident Nazi is back.

I remember thinking the same thing in Spain. I don’t know if my observations are supported by statistics.
It struck me years ago when Michelle Payne won the Melbourne Cup on Prince of Penzance. Her brother Stevie has Downs and led the horse back to scale.
All the tall willowy blondes on morning teevee cooed about how “gorgeous” and “heart warming” it all was.
Except I knew they would all have the first trimester test for Downs and abort in a heartbeat if it was positive.
And be declared “stunning and brave” for doing so.
Whatever that means.
Meanwhile, the opening ceremony has reportedly been deleted from the official IOC website.
IOC would be well versed in whitewashing.
Even if they had not a shred of decency, at least they respect the €s.

Fair enough you dickless pus-bucket. But take it a bit further: what would happen if:
1 All trannies were re-categorised as having a morbid and deviant psychology and were banned from having any dealing with children; and any one who in the name of trannies attempted to influence young kids would be jailed for 10 years.
2 The trannies had been dressed up as bearded muzzies leading around their child brides and be-heading some queers.
What do you think would have happened then dickless.

Was there really a need for that?
And you a confessed catholic?
Not even a cultural Catholic, actually.
I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that two of the likely bidders for summer 2036 are in Muslim majority nations (Indonesia, Turkey) while the third is in India which has 200m+ Muslims.
The Olympic “brand” is now associated with haram activities in Muslim eyes.

Voters aren’t going to blame Peter Dutton and Karen Andrews for 150+ foreign criminals being released from immigration detention.
Even ABC radio this morning came close to labelling Giles & O’Neil incompetent.
yawn. The Gimp’s awake.
On the Last Supper thing, it was a bit silly and gratuitous, but then again so was that Charlie Hebdo cartoon. You can’t amplify one and censor the other. Free speech, you know.
You’ll note I haven’t mentioned the Last Supper. I believe what was represented was a Dionysian bacchanalia. But that in itself, with its pagan context and transvestitism thrown in to boot, is an astonishing misreading of the worldwide audience, as the IOC has now belatedly discovered.
Since the olympics opening was big into the trannie movement, I’m guessing they are letting men compete against women in all sports, right?
Comrade Montgomery is to Catholicism as a fake vagina is to a woman.
Let’s make windows into mens souls.
So it turns out that tableau in the Olympics opening ceremony was not parodying the Last Supper at all, but was recreating a 1635 Dutch painting of the Greek gods. Which is apposite, given the Greeks invented the Games.
The painting was partially inspired by the Last Supper, so I guess you could say it was an indirect reference, but that explanation seems to invalidate your hot tears.
Don’t be even more stupid than usual Monty. The layout and the trannies were overtly in the positions of Christ and his disciples.
Bruce: the arm in the air on the person at the right at exactly the same angle is the giveaway. The director has confirmed it.
Keep trying to make yourself the victim in everything, though.
You are an idiot.
There is no educating people who are determined to stay ignorant.
Nor can I restore sight to the willfully blind.
Mirror, mirror on the wall ….
From my reply to your previous comment:
…that in itself, with its pagan context and transvestitism thrown in to boot, is an astonishing misreading of the worldwide audience, as the IOC has now belatedly discovered.
Sure, they referenced a painting that doesn’t even come up on a Google image search if you put in its specific title and the painter’s name.
Because billions of viewers will get that.
It’s entirely a coincidence that the colours of the costumes used, the positions of the players and their gestures correspond to the last supper.
But they don’t match. Did you even look?
I agree nobody was going to get the reference if they were aiming for the Olympian painting, so it’s a poor judgement on that front.
One might have a skerrick of respect for the deviants if they had stood by their blasphemy.
But to come out with this lame and completely unbelievable excuse that only a retarded child would take at face value…
Which is why the fat fascist fool did so.

Since the resident Nazi likes to trivialise mass murder, it is worth remembering that on 7 January 2015, at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, 11 men and one woman were murdered by Muslim terrorists.
More carnage occurred after the mass slaughter at Charlie Hebdo, a Muslim friend of the Hebdo butchers decided to take hostages at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris, murdering Jews.
By the way, prior to the mass slaughter in 2016, Charlie Hebdo ridiculed Christianity and Judaism just as much as it did Islam. Does anyone recall Jews and Christians turning up at Charlie Hebdo HQ to slaughter people for blasphemy? I don’t however I am happy to be corrected.

So much alt-knowledge, so little certainty.

No way were some of those mangled fire trucks caused by falling debris.
Actually the firetrucks WERE falling debris. Obviously fires were being fought higher in the building, and they needed the appliances up there.
Can someone please explain how, for example, using drag queens and assorted performance artists with all the talent of an arse-clown (Q&A actually had an Arse Clown on once, I kid you not), is “inclusive”? I freely admit I’m not the sharpest tool in social shed and I am highly introverted, but neither am I a fool. Just what is the reasoning that says the Olympics Opening performance was “inclusive” just because it resembled a freak show from an 1800 Barnum and Bailey Circus circa 1800’s…Celine Dion though, that was heroic.
Decline to shake hands is to decline the terms of engagement- instant forfeit, deport. Tho in this case i’m happy the mo’fo returned to the mat, i’d love to give him a quiet “inshallah, innit” in his ear between sobs

Was moving Senator Murray Watt from Agriculture to Workplace Relations a sideways move, promotion or demotion?
I got the impression he was going to be promoted. Or is the move an acknowledgement that farmers don’t like him?
I’d suggest workplace relations is a step up from ag in Labor eyes.
And farmers didn’t like him.
Yep. Although Burqa has already given them most of what they want. Still fiddling with part time and casuals.
Nobody likes him. He’s a goose.
Most of the farmers of my acquaintance think he should be tarred and feathered…
I am getting confused.
If it was not supposed to be the Last Supper why is the central character in the scene, with the crown/halo, described in the Daily Mail as Jesus.
It represents Apollo, Greek god of the sun.
Fake news.
They’re in damage control – “Do Not Believe The Evidence of Your Eyes.”
IOW, they’re a pack of lying bastards who thought their childish “Piss on the Christians Game” was seen as the insult it was meant to be.

Given what passes as an Australian movie the Sydney Olympics was a mere blip.

Shatterzzz,
they deserve a pass this time.
They are elite athletes, they have been training for years. Food is fuel, it is a huge part of their performance. They are not complaining, they are starving.
Remember when Mike Obama decided high school students could get by on low-fat, low-protein rabbit food?
It did not end well.
Once upon a time it was a fine city.

Crime
Mum jailed for forcing daughter to marry her killer
A mother who forced her 20-year-old daughter to marry a man who later murdered her in Perth has been jailed.
Sakina Muhammad Jan, 48, did not react as Victorian County Court Judge Fran Dalziel sentenced her to three years behind bars.
She will be released from custody on a recognisance order after 12 months and faces deportation to Afghanistan once released from custody.
Jan forced her daughter Ruqia Haidari to marry Mohammad Ali Halimi in August 2019.
He killed his young bride five months later and is serving a life prison term for her murder.
The court was told Jan coerced Ms Haidari into the marriage after the 20-year-old’s first arranged marriage ended in divorce.
Ms Haidari was considered “bewa” by the Hazara community, meaning she had lost her value.
That will have Clammy burning her keffiyeh.
I’m surprised that anyone would be surprised that the opening sarah moany of the corruptocrat games was totally shite.
Who’da thunk it. When you’re in a competition (ptp) to plumb even more ridiculous subterranean depths than a bunch of brainwashed idiots pushing around hospital beds “celebrating” a socialised “health” system that slaughters thousands of society’s most weak and vulnerable, the only option is to go full retard.

What Has Happened to Australia’s Economy
I see the Slushing Slug is demanding that Barnaby Joyce be sacked for his ‘bullet’ comment. Yes, Barnaby’s choice of the word ‘bullet’ was, ahem, insensitive but it is hardly a hanging offensive. Does Joyce deserve to be sacked? No.
But I am sure the Liberals and Nationals know how to return fire (pardon the pun) or perhaps not. If not then I am more than happy to remind them. I can kick them a lesson in how to play mean and how to throw the swill back. After all, it’s rather infamous incident, anyone else recall, as I do, how the Slushing Slug once shouted out, in parliament no less, to a female Coalition MP the following words……..
smash her, smash her, smash her
I don’t recall the Slushing Slug ever apologising.
Memo to Liberals and Nationals….return fire.
I’m old enough to remember back to when Paul Keating was Prime Minister & all the talk from ALP politicians was about holding a blowtorch to the belly of a political opponent.
The press gallery adopted this term & used it whenever an ALP politician or operative talked tough.

I’ve been reading an Australian true crime book. It appears that I knew one of the dodgy characters in the book. Met him through his sister. I looked him up on the internet and yes the family resemblance is uncanny. I won’t say is the name as he was very matey with a couple of bent cops I met through his sister as well. I had one of his cars stored in one of my workshops. I heard later his place had been raided the next day. Tipped off no doubt. Never knew about the real dodgy stuff but reading about it filled in a lot of unexplained things that you notice but don’tthink about. His sister was one of lifes innocents so I don’t think she knew.

I’ve never heard of ‘manyana’, it’s mañana, which means tomorrow or in the morning and it just means putting something off til tomorrow and is used everywhere in Spanish speaking countries.

And while I appreciate that the hospitality industry is under pressure due to government policy it’s also bizarre that mixed shopping strips like Glenferrie Rd Hawthorn are now a bewildering array of cafes and restaurants three different Mexican alone, and all three mediocre.

Free speech isn’t freedom from condemnation or criticism, it’s just a very stupid argument to shut down the free speech of others.

Oh that is lol especially when the obscure Dutch painting is based on the Last Supper.
Thanks Rosie.
I’ve been at stitch n’ bitch so never got the chance to call it.
They’re really trying to shut this one down with nonsense. As for the Dionysian feast…so what? Any painting of a group at a table could be just that. But this tableau was meant to mock, Hebdo style.

I didn’t find the depiction of the last supper offensive, I’m a grown up so I don’t take offence. But celebrating perverts as ‘tolerance ‘ doesn’t impress me. I do tolerate perverts. So long as they stay out of sight. What they do to each other disgusts me, what they do to children infuriates me, and I’d be in favour of putting them all in asylums. That’s me being tolerant. I wouldn’t be in favour of throwing them off tall buildings, though I can understand the urge.

Looking at it from a neutral view re Christianity vs Islam, it was as offensive as the stunt that Lauren Southern pulled that got her banned from the UK.
But Southern wasn’t conducting an official event funded by French taxpayers.
The problem with Europe is that it had culture, what passes for culture in post-modern France and Europe in general is rehashing the past and turning it into trash. This is of course what post-modernism is; bittering everything.

Nampijinpa Price says work for the dole is a priority for McCarthy
Paige Taylor
Coalition Indigenous affairs spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says fixing the dormant work for the dole scheme in remote communities must be a priority for Malarndirri McCarthy as she begins work as the Albanese government’s new Indigenous Australians minister.
The program – known as the Commonwealth Development Program – has been voluntary since 2021 when politicians on both sides of politics acknowledged it needed to be overhauled. The CDP was found to barely function in some locations in part because it required participants to have a wifi connection, a mobile phone and good English to meet reporting requirements. In consultations with communities in every state and the NT, the jobs program is being redesigned with mutual obligations including that participants must attend work.
Senator Nampijinpa Price told The Australian on Monday that she hoped Senator McCarthy would succeed in getting the work for the dole program back on track.
“The Indigenous Affairs portfolio is languishing under the Albanese government,” Senator Nampijinpa Price said.
“Too many organisations such as NAAJA, the Land Councils and other aboriginal corporations are showing signs of being unfit for purpose.
“It is my hope that Malarndirri McCarthy will use her appointment as Minister for Indigenous Australians to improve these bodies so that they start functioning the way they should be; to get the CDP back on track and to ensure that resources in the portfolio are being used effectively to improve the lives of some of our most marginalised who Minister McCarthy now represents.”
On Monday the women-led Uluru Dialogue welcomed the swearing in of Senator McCarthy as the new Indigenous Australians minister and flagged its intention to continue to work towards constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians. Uluru Dialogue campaigned for a constitutionally-enshrined Indigenous voice to parliament which was voted down at the referendum on October 14 last year. Co-chairs Megan Davis, UNSW Scientia and Balnaves Chair in Constitutional Law, and Pat Anderson, who has been appointed an officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service in Aboriginal health, are now leading a movement with support from some of the 6.2 million Australians who voted yes at the referendum.
In a joint statement, Professor Davis and Ms Anderson said that they agreed with former Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney that the opportunity for a referendum would come again.
“Linda said the result was a great opportunity that was missed but it will come back some day. We agree. Awareness of constitutional recognition, and the First Nations support for it, has never been more critical,” they said.
“While we continue to review the data and build the movement with our 6.2 million fellow Aussies, we celebrate the appointment of the Hon. Malarndirri McCarthy as she takes over the portfolio. We warmly welcome, congratulate and look forward to working with her.
“With Linda’s retirement and Malarndirri’s appointment, we celebrate the formidable leadership of First Nations women.
“Our work continues.”
The opportunity for a referendum would come again…and again….and again..until we get a “Yes?”
Jacinta Price is one fantastic woman. I know nothing of her father but her mother certainly put her on the right track. Very grounded.
It was many years later that I discovered that I worked with the no 3 man in the Sicilian mafia in Sydney in the the late 70s. I was reading a book on the Mafia, and there he he was in a photo with the nos 1&2.
It was only then that the meaning of his words when I left the company ” if you ever have issues with anyone, let me know”, became clear
Wife worked in a bar for Abe Saffron. He told her never go downstairs no matter what.
I was to do some work for a bloke in Perth. Asked my wog mate about him. No, no, no. Mafia. All the older Italians I became friends with were all great hard working blokes. Their sons I’d have very little to do with. Same with the Lebs. They were all Maronites, good to work for. Only one was a ratbag, a lawyer. BiL was selling an empty house which shared a common driveway. He dug up the driveway so it was hard to show peoplevthe place. He thought he was going to get it cheap. The house sold cheaply, BiL brought it coz owner wouldn’t sell it to tge lawyer. He still lives there on 8 acres.
There’s been enough backlash from north south east and west for the Olympics people to get the ceremony off social media and their website.
The faux apology is noted.
Your own piece, the one you linked to, says Italy dropped out a several months ago. Seriously, did you read it or just made that assumption?
On a lighter note, talking about records.
Wesley Vale football club veteran has broken the Tasmanian record for most goals in a game.

I definitely find it instructive.
The obfuscation, the limp pointers to other works when the subject matter was so obvious, the flurry of sorry not sorries.
I’m also glad The Almighty rained on their parade. A bit tough on the athletes, but they were secondary to the kulcharal extravaganza.
Stop the presses! Dutton’s standing by the Beetroot! From The Oz…
Peter Dutton said Barnaby Joyce’s apology was appropriate
As indeed it was. Maybe something has changed in the Liberals, although I don’t and won’t hold by breath for too long. However, if this gaffe had happened under Scumbag, the Beetroot would already be pickled and thrown to the lions, such was Scumbag’s endless quisling kowtowing to the his ideological opponents.
Well done, Mr Dutton.
What’s the Beetrooter done now?
“when people are doing it tough the still like to spend”
That doesn’t explain the explosion in cafes and restaurants many of which, as vr points out, are conspicuously empty.
Covid was the pinnacle of uber eats, not eating out, in Melbourne. We weren’t allowed out.
I suspect some are PR palaces but still it’s not sustainable.
I recall a former colleague with skin in the game saying ten years ago Indian restaurants could be bought anywhere in Melbourne for pin money.
It’s a pathway to residency & sponsorship of more family that neither party’s have closed that loophole. Other half used to work with Indian “students” that never went to school in one job. They were quite open about what they were doing.
My other half cleans atm but helps out in the kitchen of her establishment. Last few months the hours have dwindled and her employer has told her upfront business is flat so they can’t give her anymore hours till there’s a pick up.
I’d say it’s more a trend than a once off…
Not enough fat for a 30% ticket clip at any time.
You’re right about Indian restaurants. The number that no one goes to, must be funded from India as an immigration scam.
This stupid system won’t let me paste a comment.
Venezuela’s Madura apparently won this weekend’s election even though the polls showed he was 25% down.
Incredible result. LOL If Maduro can go from 25% down, so can Kamal Toe, and it’s a lesson the Demons can learn from their southern neighbor in terms of how to win elections coming in on the back foot.
Just to appreciate what socialism can achieve, Venezuela’s economy has shrunk by 80% since this socialist genius took office. Even with Venezuela being a large oil exporter, shrinking by 80% is truly a big achievement. It would be extraordinarily hard to do.
Our own little Trot is trying as hard as he can. What with Wallet Wizard on the job how can he fail.
Incidentally this is Andrew Tate.

Mmmyes.
The mincing poodle artistic director slipped that one through in the run-down with a non-descript tag something like “tableau of Dutch painting by Van der Fagg comes to life”.
No-one asked and no-one was told.
If it had been listed as “Pisstake of the Last Supper” on the running sheet, it would have ended up on the cutting room floor.
One thing is for sure.
The closing ceremony will be getting the fine tooth comb treatment as we speak, and the alleged artistic director being told to pull anything offensive. Along with a reminder that Mincing Poodle Productions will not get their final payment if anyone pulls a stunt by going (wink nudge) “off script”.
Keep one of these charts in your wallet or purse. This is what socialism does to country that at one stage was the one of the wealthiest nations in South America, then a socialist dictator took hold.
St Louis Fed shows in 2011, Venezuela had a PPP GDP of US$700 billion. By 2019, the fcking socialist moron had run it down to US$7.1 billion.
That’s a collapse of 98.9% of GDP when measured in PPP.
This chart shows real GDP in dollars. Between 2013 and 2019, real GDP fell by ~70%
On balance, Maduro is likely smarter than the Kamal Toe.
But its cheerful squalor.
And you cant put a price on that!
Good.
She adamantly refused to acknowledge she’d broken any law.
Back to the Stone Age. It’s a much bigger problem with the Pakis in theUK.
I object to keeping her here for 12 months. A flyover in a C130 out the back with a parashute for the squeamish, without one for people like me.
Ditto, but justice needs to be formally satisfied via the sentence.
Didn’t miss it one bit. But if they pulled out only several months ago, the likelihood of going back to it would be zero. There was not a single mention in the piece they even discussed the point, but of course you must have read it between the lines. It’s a feelz thing?
Also, from your link

Quite so.
The Ennertainment Reporter on 3AW put what he thought was a Dorothy Dixxer to their Johnnies on the Spot this morning.
“Is it actually causing any angst among the French?”
Expected answer : “Not at all. The adverse reaction seems to be restricted to Far-Right Philistines in Straya and the Red Neck Bible Belt in the USA.”
Actual answer : “My Lordy, wordy, yes it has. The French are decidedly unhappy about it.”
Probably not so well received outside the avant garde bathhouse sector.
Much like ALPBC2 self identifying comedy.
Lol, first for correcting my spelling and secondly for thinking your world view wouldn’t change if you became a Christian.
Incidentally, I’m not sure I’m offended. It’s the sort of trash you expect from progressives, especially grovelling apologists for trash like Monty.
I’m annoyed a little girl was included though.
Groomers.
Today in calm millpond sea we travelled dry by smooth Zodiac to another village associated with the famed Sacred Island, said to be the first place where Fijians arrived in the Pacific. Requires a kava presentation for entry. We didn’t go there, waited for the afternoon run into the major village of five on the island, to visit a boarding school and then go for a village tour.
We all purchased some Fiji sarongs from local fat ladies (as they mostly are) sitting patiently for our arrival, and some even purchased other artifacts, but being beware of shells due to Aussie customs. Then the school visit, where a crowd of very eager primary school children sang us songs in their main hall, and the very walls were alive with the echoes of happiness and they did hands, nose, fingers, feet and face for us in song and actions. The sixty of us all clapped and gestured along. After that it was Fijian songs, loud and clappy, traditional stuff led by a six foot four teacher almost as wide as high, who kept those boys in order with a glance; kind but firm. The boys and girls sat separately, as the sexes also do in church.
One of the items was a sort of courting ritual, where a girl and boy passed each other, did a double-take of interest, and then went into sex-appropriate paroxysms of delight, concentrating on attracting the chosen one. It was done in individual acts, reminiscent to me of some birds courting. Two teams chosen at random sent out a member to do the individual turn: when a largish girl of about 12 matched up with a squib of a boy about 8 then sparks flew; the girl put on a great ‘female’ show and the boy went wildly OTT with his dancing and posturing. A great deal of hilarity ensued from everyone then due to the tremendously creative displays the kids produced.
This is free primary education using the ‘pigeon’ language known to all far-flung islanders, and also in English. The three R’s were big on the list. Like my own childhood up on the wall: geometry and angles, times tables, days in each month, the area of a circle, and maps of where other countries were.
We purchased stationary kits for the school and also donated money to this very worthy cause.
This village was totally different to the last one. There wasn’t a skerrick of rubbish anyway, all was very neat housing in one long row, mostly breeze or cement block construction, very well cared for and people were proud of their homes, still working on making pathways and surroundings. The chief is dead, the heir apparent is absent not interested, and the place is run by women, who showed us around, including the formidable local nurse. Go figure. The pastor comes regularly but doesn’t live on site. The church is huge, and well-appointed, for major festivities drawn in from other villages. We gave a good donation to the church box because it is the church life and the women who hold this village together. Some young guys were busy making Kava. Also traditional.
Oh and I seem to recall you being very offended when I mocked your Cuban exploits.

Was Jesus present at the Big Bang, Titus?
Well:-
For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him He is before all things, and in Him, all things hold together.
Any Christian, Catholic or Protestant would answer yes, according to Colossians 1, however we understand the beginning.
Your trolling doesn’t seem to be up to your usual tenth-rate standard.
Where was he exactly when it happened, Titus?
The point I am trying to get at is that once you start mixing theology and cosmology, you quickly descend into silliness.
Smart religious scholars know not to take the Bible so literally.
“Smart religious scholars”?
Is that your description of yourself, someone who claims to be a Catholic, but is completely ignorant of Christian theology?
Was becoming a (nominal) Catholic a condition of your marriage into the upper middle class? It certainly does not seem that you have any deep Christian beliefs.
Smart religious scholars know not to take the Bible so literally.
uh huh.
Which “religious” scholars? How do you define literally?
What parts are “literal”? What are not?
So when Jesus makes statements about himself; i.e John 8 :58 “Before Abraham was, I am”, is he making a big theological statement? Or is it a sort of Ron Burgundy statement of “I’m kind of a big deal round here.”
Are St Paul’s great Christological statements in Ephesians and Colossians saying something that the Church Fathers and most theologians liberal and conservative would agree with.
Plus, when talking about “literalism” and the Bible, are you talking about historical narrative? Apocalyptic literature, New Testament epistles and so on. Dismissing taking the Bible literally can mean all sorts of different things. I am theologically conservative, but not everything I believe is literal. I.e I don’t believe “the trees clap their hands”. But I do believe that many other parts of the Bible can be taken literally.
I don’t pretend to be an expert, but I have at least read and studied theology for a little while.
But I, of course defer to the wisdom of a fantasy football fellow and ocean going, Olympic standard rubbish troll.

I reckon Lady Boy has gone home to visit “sick mum” and hasn’t come back.
Or possibly worse. Maduro allows the export of oil. The Green Nazis would ban our gas and coal exports, which are two of our biggest sales outside of iron ore. They would almost certainly have a go at banning that too.
Tonight after dinner we are all going to watch Tom Hanks in ‘Castaway’. I’ve seen it with girlfriends, Hairy hasn’t. We spent yesterday early arvo at the ‘Castaway’ island enjoying the sun (me) while Hairy went snorkelling. On the beach someone has kept going the film’s writing of ‘HELP’ constructed out of logs. We sat under a small bamboo shelter possibly also from the film (or maintained from it) where I spied a length of bamboo pipe that I seemed to recall Tom Hanks using to direct water down from a stream; still there, the pipe anyway, the stream was always a movie myth. Most of the islands use artesian-drawn water.
Our shelter was also invaded by some Russian speakers seemingly from an impressive ocean-going yacht that had just pulled in, the only other craft around. They yabbered on in Russian for a while. Were they Oligarchs? Hairy suggested to me, so I said are you speaking Russian and they said Yes. Enjoy your beer, Hairy said to them in Russian as we left which quite surprised them. Alternatively, they might have been Ukrainian crew assisting the Ukrainian ship’s engineer on our own cruise. Whichever, they were young men of military age escaping the draft, either which way, Russian or Ukrainian.
After the movie tonight we have to pack ready for transfer away from this ship to port and then to the airport back to Sydney, where we’re told it has been freezing. I’m just finishing off the Captain Morgan Rum with a little Coca Cola.
Lucky us to have missed that cold weather, the intention of it all as it happens.
Jeffrey Lawrence Oreo: 53-year-old walking around Broome toilet block naked and high on meth finedKatya MinnsBroome Advertiser
Mon, 29 July 2024 11:11AM
A 53-year-old man walking around a Broome toilet block for hours while naked and high on methamphetamine was fined $1000 by a magistrate.
Jeffrey Lawrence Oreo, 53, appeared before Broome Magistrates Court on July 22 via video link charged with one count of obscene acts in public.
The court was told on May 9, Oreo — who was wearing only shoes and a hat — was caught on CCTV multiple times between 3.45pm and 6.30pm walking around a toilet block clutching his genitalia.
Speaking from custody unrepresented, Oreo admitted he was high on methamphetamine which “just affected (his) behaviour” and pleaded guilty to the charge.
Magistrate Deen Potter said the offending was aggravated by his criminal record and imposed a $1000 fine plus court costs.
Keep that in the NT.

Extra points for doing so while orbiting a toilet for three hours.

I think we established that was a two week package in Noumea with a dash of lurid imagination thrown in.
Slum tourism is a real.

Your memory is very faulty.
I got a hat with a red star out of it.
I never knew when reading news items there was never any room to read between the lines.

My new phone has kept all the photos off the old one. Every so often it sends me a collection of five year old pix, last week I got a lot of Maria and her daughter. I couldn’t have imagined the daughter. She was a horror.
That whole trip was epic Cat awesomeness. Excellent stuff DrB!
I’ve never heard of ‘manyana’, it’s mañana, which means tomorrow or in the morning and it just means putting something off til tomorrow and is used everywhere in Spanish speaking countries.
There is a coastal village on the south coast of NSW called Manyana.
Ha. Well sad ha.
I saw a fellow sacked when announcing the name of a new product. “It is an aboriginal word with a meaning similar to manana but without the same sense of urgency”.
They came for him from everywhere. We the audience thought that it was hilarious.
Also the subject of a joke about an American professor of linguistics on sabbatical in Dublin.
Sure, but there should be some plausibility, but in this case there was zero.
Also, it’s Meloni’s first trip there as PM while you stated she was back there to mend relationships, which is patent nonsense.
Someone posted this earlier about muzzie attacks on Christians:
He ‘Wanted to Kill as Many People as Possible’: The Persecution of Christians, June 2024 :: Gatestone Institute
There is a site which continually lists and updates muzzie attacks which the scumbag Western msm does not touch:
List of Islamic Terror Attacks (thereligionofpeace.com)
Interestingly google will not list this site.
Until the West deals with islam as it deals with the West the average people in the West are going to cop it.
She was a horror.
She looked cute, little girls often do, but she had the personality of Godzilla.
Another good site which has compiled muzzie terrorist attacks on the West which the deadshit msm ignores:

Hard to believe this nonsense is still playing out in the courts 3 years later.
As I wrote above, our political caste has no shame.
De Russo and Tognini needed many…many words to condemn Vance over his comment to Carlson. It was quite funny to watch the huffing and puffing over what may well be a true observation.
Obviously not all childless women were targeted, just the bitter old crones who make other people’s lives miserable through busybodying and political influence. We know who they are.
Compare and contrast with the cultural willingness to brand all men as potential abusers. From both sides of the political divide.
Identifying some women as potential cat ladies has nothing on that.
I am disappointed with Gemma Togninni. I expected her to be more aware of the silly attempt at sinking Vance.
This is one of the reasons I do not seek the company of women. You only have to look askance for a split second, and often a normally robust woman will take offence.
