Do anything that you want me to …
Cass, The Yeeros shop at Marrikville has great freshly done potato scallops as well as fresh potato chips. They are…
Let’s shoot the perfesser! 🙂
That was before Trump’s clear intent to dislodge Russia from China’s orbit came fully into view.You can’t blame the effort…
I have another confession to make, and it’s not even Yom Kippur!
The other day, walking into Town Hall station, I spied a fish and ship shop and I found myself walking in the direction of this shop. Standing in front of the shop, I eyed potato scallops, something I hadn’t eaten in….say…..over a decade, and I then greedily ordered four! I took one bite and then guzzled the other four scallops before I’d even talked into Town Hall Woollies
Fcking delicious!
I ask…who doesn’t like, who cannot like…..potato scallops?
lol
I don’t want to start an argument but…..
Potato CAKES
a good potato cake is getting hard to find
we’ve have a whole rating system for potato cakes going for nearly 20 years
local Chinese run fish and chips called Sharkeys hits an 8.5
try them with too much salt and French raspberry vinegar
the best!
Where is this place???
Mandurah?
Wait, there’s Sharkey’s all over the place!
(Hudson may-be right.)
2740.4 Km east-south-east of Mandurah
do the raspberry vinegar … it’s next level
Okay, I’m in. But post the address before you go to sleep.
nah
what you do is get on-line and find a good French provender who can supply raspberry vinegar, tarragon vinegar and green-peppercorn mustard
then you go to the local chippery with the A1 mix of thick-cut potato and crispy (not too crispy) batter on their potato cakes
order too many and dip them in the raspberry vinegar while saying frenchy things like … avec and Gâteau aux pommes
then you have a steak the next night with peppercorn mustard on the side and use the tarragon vinegar in the salad dressing
and drink pinot noir
and count your blessings
A cheeseburger with potato cakes instead of buns. Give that a crack.
Cass,
The Yeeros shop at Marrikville has great freshly done potato scallops as well as fresh potato chips. They are in my view, mouth watering. Old style Greek shop. Well worth the visit.
People need to understand there is a venture capitalist attitude in this administration.
It’s move fast and if people aren’t on board either change the people or pull the pin on the idea.
It is that simple.
There are unlimited places & opportunities for this administration to deploy their energy.
If you want to play hard to get or squeeze them for more money or dick them around, you’ll be dropped and they’ll move onto the next opportunity.
Zelensky just found that out.
Bern
100% right.
It’s a version of trader lingo. Cut your loss, move on and look for the next trade.
Didn’t get nearly enough coverage, Joe Gebbia, co founder of Airbnb has joined DOGE.
Worth a lazy 10bill USD, former democrat, Hillary & Biden donor, answered Elon’s call.
First stop, fixing the paper based retirement system for federal employees.
Hard to find an administration with so many people with operational & logistical experience at the pointy end.
the uke dwarf trying to scaremonger with all the credibility of a CNN journo.
Trump and JD were perfectly right to call it out for what is. utter BS
I think The Poot will take the opportunity to just move everything to the Ukraine Front and do a dash for the Dnieper, take everything East of it – leaving just a holdout pocket of Kiev and a means for resupply for it to feed the civies.
He’ll call victory and dare anyone to move him. Ideal defensive terrain – a largish river, the east side bank full of mud and swamp grasses.
And the winter river freeze is over for the next 8 months.
Hard to find an administration with so many people with operational & logistical experience at the pointy end.
Seriously and genuinely exciting. Just hope it rubs off on this side of the Pacific.
bwahahah
Sorry, just won’t happen.
Cats with Netflix, cool movie from Alex Garland is just about to leave.
Annihilation.
Once you get past Natalie Portman playing Natalie Portman the same way she does in every movie, it’s a cool sci fi flick.

UKRAINE: Secretary Bessent confirms this was the third time Zelensky has agreed to the terms of the mineral deal only to back out. This time it was staged for the media.
My reading too. And, I suspect, Trump’s and Vance’s.

And a couple of squadrons of Thunderbolt II, and re equip the RFDS with Osprey aircraft to train up a squadron for SAS insertion roles in a future conflict on Australian and island conflict.
Cats, it’s time to pay homage to the M12 (again).
The definitive polo shirt.
UB40

I’ve only got 12 of them (and seven that I can still fit into) … 😕
On the oirish …
Blundering ‘ome last noight after catching up with some Cats at the Crown in Sydneystan, metro only going to Central – caught an airport line train to Mascot (suburban) got off and hailed an uber – surrounded by 10 oirish “blue collar” peoples (including some tastee coleens) and when their uber finally turned up, said to one of the nearest proximity walleees – “Oirish Peoples, I’m not having it!”
The look on his big stupid face was instantly transformed, err, from good to … not so good. 😕
Anyway, they would have thought I was an Englishman, due to the accent (faked) and the M12.
Bwaaaaahhh!
Lindsay Graham has come out to the media several times and wiped the floor with his erstwhile bosom buddy Zelenskiy. He was the leading US Congress hawk having visited Ukraine 9 times and the biggest voice for arms and hundreds of Billion$$$ to Ukraine. A complete 180 degree flip.
That meeting with what looked a coked up Z has just destroyed Ukraine’s whole strategy to prosecute the war. Ukraine’s only other source for money and arms is the euroweenies, who are all falling over themselves on X showing their fervent support for Z. Big bad orange man gets the wagging fingers and scowls. But they wont pony up in blood and only meagre arms.
After the world kissing his arse for so long, Z looked absolutely gobsmacked as he was put in his place. Even called JDV a son of a bitch in bastardised Uke/Russo lingo. Trump was right. Z isn’t ready for a peace deal. He’s still hooked on the grift and whole notoriety thing.
@laralogan
Ukraine war for dummies:
Trump: End the war – too many people are suffering & no one wants World War III.
Putin: Ok.
Zelensky: No, Give me more money & weapons.
Globalists: Trump is pro Putin.
Wethepeople: F*** off.
End the war. No more money/weapons.
to be credible as a real super-villain Z(with two Y’s) needs a turtle-neck skivvie
Trump’s Ukraine Gambit
Zelensky is the perfect useful idiot for the demorats who are using him to attack Trump and support the military industrial complex and fuk the US and the West:
Democrats, Never Trumpers Inflated Zelensky’s Arrogance Before Oval Office Disaster
How do you deal with these bastards. They are destroying the West and they are impervious to reason and common sense.
Sydney Mardi Gras 2025: ABC slammed over its ‘terrible’ coverage as Lidia Thorpe makes an appearance following her ‘protest’ last year which brought the parade to halt
Daily Mail. Does Lidia Thorpe know that, in traditional Aboriginal society, gay Indigenous people had their legs broken, and were left in the bush to die?
@robinmonotti
At least it’s finally clear that NATO is the aggressor that is occupying Europe to suck the life blood of the European people like a parasite. It is not the “America” represented by Trump & Vance, it is the globalist oligarchy represented by Macron, Starmer & the EU kommissars.
Wow something just went kaboom in the ‘ville.
Shook the whole house. Came from south too.
Earthquake in Mt Stewart Army Training area. 4.7 on scale.

They’re all singing from the same songbook.

It’s almost as if this was all set up in advance as a failed NATO psyop!

Question the Covid response?
“Covidiot”
Question Ukraine war?
“Putin apologist”
Question net zero?
“Climate change denier”
Question the Covid vaccine?
“Anti-vaxxer”
These lazy gaslighting tropes are designed to shut down, smear and undermine any questioning of the narrative.
narrative denier
That’s been obvious for yonks. All it takes to deal with it is an indifference to being called names.
I don’t care, Margaret.
Cats, remember when it was only collectivists ranting on about the MIC?
Since becoming a non-collectivist, I’ve found some of my treasured beliefs while an erstwhile collectivist, returning (again).
Such as, “Thou shalt not bankroll pointless foreign conflicts with other peoples’ money”
and yes, Gil Scott Heron is indeed revolving in his grave.
The take I referred to above:
An Ozzie Rock ‘n’ Roll Classic … 🙂
You can’t blame the effort but it won’t work. He’s not going to forgot those that stuck with Russia these last three years nor what was imposed on them by the West.
Let’s shoot the perfesser! 🙂
Do anything that you want me to …
We’ll hold your coat, Keir.
Have at him!
I’m sure you’ll be able to sort Vlad out by teatime.
