I have never said anything to you about about maths

have you got brain damage or something?

listen, here’s the deal

you keep your babbling gob shut about me and I’ll refrain from making an idiot out of you

reckon both of those will be challenges … but anyway give it a try

Ah, no. No on both counts.

Seriously, if you keep this unfounded hysteria up you’ll turn into the late and unlamented _egg roomba. Looks for stoush – donk. Looks for another stoush – donk. Looks for further stoush – donk.

If the hysteria continues, you may wish to take up horse riding.

“Sliante” to all you mob.

Sitting on the verandah, punishing the single malt, and reading is an activity befitting a self funded retiree.

The reading is Robert Rhodes James’ biography of Anthony Eden – the first biography of Eden, written with access to Eden’s own diaries and private papers.

Eden was rather a tragic figure in English politics – one of the “Golden Boys ” of British politics, in the early 1930’s, he resigned after Munich in 1938, but was recalled to office when World War Two began. He spent YEARS “in the wings” as deputy Prime Minister, waiting for Winston Churchill to resign..his own term as Prime Minister ended in the Suez crisis of 1956, and his resignation due to ill health soon after.

Eden was invited to Court in the early 1920’s – he was advised that he would need a white tie, and tail coat, but knee breeches and buckled shoes were not required.

Damn fine reading – check it out.

Now that the suggestion isn’t coming from me, but from Donald Trump, and being openly debated across the right, what do people think about abolishing income tax, running a hugely reduced government off tariffs and gutting entire government departments?

They could even eventually fulfil my dream of ending public spending on “education”.

I think it would be better to keep income tax and end corporate tax. But no deductions. Every major business in the world would beat a path to your door.
employment and rising wages guaranteed.

If you want to break the back of government over reach, you have to starve the beast and give the people back their money.

This is what the FBI did to Roger Stone and his family.

They tipped off the media beforehand so they could broadcast the humiliation.

This is why the FBI firings are overdue and highly-deserved!

This is what the NSW Police did to Alan Jones.

They tipped off the media beforehand so they could broadcast the humiliation.

This is why Webb and Catley should go and when they do it will be highly deserved!

ABC TV news leads with footage of the medivac fireball crash in Pennsylvania…
Mobile phone footage..
Cameraman says “Allahu ackbar, what the hell!”
ABC dhimmi must have creamed himself when that one popped up on the feed. That’s definitely what the average moslem says, on the street, when surprised, just like I might say “gee whiz” or “Yama have mercy, but that stings”.

Watching A Knight’s Tale, on and off, with the girls
Our hero’s page announces him to a workin’ class action sports crowd- hailing him for bathing ankle-deep in Saracen blood, and saving an Italian virgin from the ravages of her Turkish uncle.
Good times, good fun- I can’t help but think that our hides have grown soft somehow, since its release date of (checks IMDB) May 11th, 2001.
