Thanks, Cassie. Seems you and I were writing similar things at the same time. No collusion though.
You are right about the abuse of me here.
It absolutely stinks. It degrades the site.
It should by rights drive me right away, because that is what a sensible person would do. Depart this site with no regrets. No woman should let herself become a punching bag anywhere let alone on a site which claims to believe in the morals and values she believes in. Turns out its just as hypocritical as anywhere else.

The Greens are our very own Nazi party.
Greens MP made ‘direct attack on Jewish people’
Labor MP Josh Burns has described Greens MP Jenny Leong’s use of an anti-Semitic trope as a “direct attack on Jewish people in Australia”.
Ms Leong was accused of using an anti-Semitic trope at a pro-Palestinian event last year, when she accused the “Jewish lobby” of “infiltrating into every single aspect of what is ethnic community groups”.
In a statement posted to X, Mr Burns said Ms Leong should unreservedly apologise.
“The NSW Greens MP Jenny Leong’s description of Jewish people as having ‘tentacles’ and some form of sinister motive is reminiscent of old and dark antisemitic tropes.
“By suggesting Jewish community organisations join other ethnic groups to influence and control them, Ms Leong has depicted Jewish people in a manner that has no place in a multicultural and diverse Australia,” the statement said.
Mr Burns went on to say Ms Leong had issued a “conditional and loaded statement” that sought to minimise her original remarks.
“She should unreservedly apologise, and the Australian Greens leadership should take responsibility and demonstrate that Jewish people in Australia are safe and respected by their party.”
Goebbels speak. The party known as the Greens should be disendorsed.

Well said Cassie !
I don’t know Lizzie but I enjoy most of her comments, and if there are some that of no interest I just scroll on by.
Dover is very accomodating with comments on this site, although there’s a very small minority of posters who are exceedingly aggressive/nasty and appear to be looking for a stoush which for the life of me I don’t understand.
I don’t expect kumbaya here and vigorous debate/exchange of comments is always welcome, but there is already enough vitriol and unpleasantness in the world today and life is too short.
It’s really just a cover, because the demons possessed clown has nothing to add to any discussion. And thinks by
1. telling people it agrees with them
2. posting absurd over-the-top opinions
3. claiming victory in stoushes
makes it sound smart and sexy. Just a low-rent dickhead.

Beheaded babies.
Oh dear.
No one claimed 40 beheaded babies but Hamas apologists love to repeat that narrative.
Let’s be clear, there were babies shot in their cots, in their mothers arms, burnt to death, had their parents murdered in front of them, kidnapped, held hostage, separated from their parents, kidnapped and abandoned inside the gazan border and a couple who’s heads were attached to their bodies by a flap of skin, apparently by accident, taken from the womb of their dying mother and stabbed..
There were Israelies and others beheaded, (one with a garden hoe) eyes gouged out, raped, stabbed, shot, blown up with rpgs and grenades, set on fire while still alive after being raped, dead bodies paraded naked through the streets of Gaza, elderly and children beaten by ‘gazan civilians’ tortured, starved, drugged and beaten to death in captivity but oh just show your true self with your “beheaded babies’ comment.
Looks like Friday night biffo started early this week.
As to some posts regarding private family matters and highly sensitive personal information??
I may be a bit too private and introvert but I feel those should not be aired on a blog.
My personal opinion only as always.
Also one can make a comment about any matter without mentioning personal relation to the person in the comment, does not make it any more relevant or true.
What difference does it make to say “I used to know him/her” and then go on to tell about a foreign government action involving millions of other people of the same nationality?
Taking offense is a personal matter, depends where it’s coming from.

Remarkable self-awareness shown there.
You should wear a t-shirt: “Instant arsehole – just add blogging”
Well, that’s what I thought too, Gilas. Benign Prostrate Hyperplasia would never require surgery in this day and age of medication, which they said was going to be undertaken. What they didn’t say was that a radical prostatectomy was the surgery being undertaken; yet that’s all it could possibly have been if it was surgery rather than a simple biopsy. Then they come out an announce, wow, there’s some focal points in his prostate of whatever (they didn’t say, but obviously staged prostate cancer cells) but there’s also cancer elsewhere, type unspecified.
If only they’d come clean at the start. There’s King Charles saying saying get your prostate checked in order to help all men, but he’s not saying what to get it checked for. BPH announces itself. You can’t pee. Prostate cancer doesn’t except in the later stages (as I understand it). Why confuse the two? Seems they were deliberately trying to downplay the word cancer at first. Now they’ve just made a medical dog’s breakfast of it.
Yep. All true.
You are, nothing to add to any subject as described above. Total headcase too.

Self reflection is not your strong point is it you rabid cur.
Doesn’t the Constitution of the United States provide for the removal of driveling idiots like this?
Yes!
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment states:
Section 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

In my case, not by JC, but by the usual female suspect spreading bags of lies.
JC has also been very supportive of me regarding the years of attacks I have been subjected to by JMH, such vile comments, who has transvested from old fogey male to huffed-up female clarion for ‘decency’ in commentary (really?).
JC’s biffs with his pet-named blokes I ignore because I can’t understand them.
I let him think I am just losing my marbles or that I follow what it’s all about, but I don’t. Sometimes I wish I was dementing. Life would be simpler, as getting old under constant attack for doing no more than exerising one’s natural and still firm intelligence to comment on many issues is no joy.
There is too much aggro getting in the way of commentary here.
Perhaps, as the Irish say, it’s da drink. Moderate it, chaps’s.
OK on Friday and Sat’dy nites, but not constantly.
Nothing’s going to change, I know that, but at least I can clarion on too.
Coming from a feral and bush pig. Finally they go together and mating.

Better than these ones i suppose.
I provide very little private information about myself. My life is too mundane to be of interest to others.
Now I will be personal. What happens here is nothing compared to what is happening in my personal life. For a while now an ahole has been insulting me. I just let it pass but now it is payback time. He is on a hiding to nothing because he is 83 years old, has a pacemaker, lost several toes due to diabetes, and probably has Alzheimer’s related agitation hence the insults and my patience. I’ve told him he needs to go into residential care but that makes him more angry. Here’s the weird thing, the ahole can’t handle being insulted, goes completely ballistic, flooding my inbox with insults and threatening to have his son commit physical violence against me. I know his son, that won’t happen. I’ll be seeing the ahole next week. He’s made a huge mistake because when I turn I don’t turn back, I will attack him at every opportunity. I’m weird like that because typically I couldn’t be bothered hating a person but when I do I’m relentless. My main concern is that because his health is so frail and he has a pacemaker, and I can trigger him so easily, I need to be careful lest his heart gives out. Or do I?
The hatred was there before AGW.

The SOB donated $1.75 mill. It went through official channels so it could not have been conditional on him remaining a member. The libs are just gutless.
This Melbourne spiderman fellow seems fascinating.
I now live in a country where a Greens senator stands smiling in front of a placard that calls for this country to be cleansed of people like me.
And today I read and listen to a recording where a NSW Greens MP says that the ‘Jewish lobby’ has tentacles that it uses to “influence power”. Here are her words…
“The Jewish lobby and the Zionist lobby are infiltrating into every single aspect of what is ethnic community groups, they rock up, and they’re part of the campaign,” she said in the meeting.
“Their tentacles reach into the areas that try and influence power, and I think that we need to call that out and expose it,” she said.
I can’t quite convey how sick I feel.

This is typical of someone who has no idea what an academic is or what one does and takes a most peculiar approach to the subject. Also, I haven’t been in academia for twenty years now. I don’t profess to be an academic, the simple fact is that I was one, and a good one at that. Eight nonsensical uptickers are clearly short of clue too.
Academia has been part of my life but definitely not the whole of it. I am self-educated, for a start, having missed early opportunities you probably did have JMH. I am these days, as I’ve been over time, a wife, mother, grandmother, traveller and whatever else any woman might be if she cares to work at it. What a lot of stupid envy and cultural illiteracy is on display here at times.
Now the fancy pants bio-science expert from Canberra needs to be brought before a committee on Macquarie street to show his working.

Complaining about a massive pile on here is not whinging. It is noting something rather awful about this blog. It may end up being the death of it. After me, of course. I will last it out till I am ninety even though it takes its toll. How could it not?

I am a disgrace when it comes to maintaining contact with old friends. So, it is no surprise that I didn’t learn of an extraordinary experience affecting a colleague with whom I endured the time wasting experience of national service.
My friend is probably the most placid, non-opiniated person yet born.
Hearing a noise at night he leaped out of bed to find two gentlemen or North African appearance in his corridor. Apparently these cultural enhancers are over represented in Numbers Bob’s bubble of ‘Woomba. Perhaps Numbers is a counsellor.
One of the gentlemen proceeded to hit him in the chest with a tomahawk.
Now the history becomes truely wierd.
As the visitors took off out the window through which they entered, the axe fell out of my friend’s chest. Incredibly, he picked it up and chuked it at his univited guests. He believes that he may have hit one of them but admits that that his recall may have been a touch impared at this point.
Being who he was, he didn’t believe that his experience merited any particular fuss, until he recounted his experience in Out Patients.

Rural sophisticate
One of the many benefits I’ve gained from finding this blog is the discussion of autism and mental illness, particularly Delta A and Lizzie B, writing of their knowledge and experience.
I have sympathy for Lizzie in her present troubles with her son; my family has a member with mental issues – basically a decent person, but narcissistic, manipulative and dead cunning.
He is my younger brother, he was very close to my older sister. They lived three hours apart, but there were constant visits and daily, and sometimes several times a day, phone calls. When my sister died, and he was left with just me, living a long way away, and limiting the phone calls to twice weekly (there was more, life was quite different for him), he seemed to take responsibility for himself. Over the years since he has established his own life with his own network of local support. It no doubt helps that he is now in his late sixties and has slowed down a bit.
Anyhow Lizzie, battle on and don’t let the b*stards get you down.

Cannibalism is very dangerous because it promotes prion transmission that wrecks brains. Broadly it is the equivalent of CKD, mad cow’s disease. The issue was even highlighted with a recent report that a few individuals who received human growth hormone from deceased humans’ brains developed early onset Alzheimer’s.
Anyhow.
I am sitting in the cemetery in Bonifacio, it is on the tip of the peninsula?
Little houses in the Italian style, not surprising given it’s built on rock and the place was formerly ruled by the Pisans, then the Genoans.
The haute ville is much bigger than I realised, with the medieval town close to the harbour, for obvious reasons, between that and the cemetery are ancient fortifications and a couple of large buildings, one of which appears to have been a governor’s palace, derelict but now being repaired.
I peeked in a couple of doorways in the town, the stairways are steep ladders, one made of wood, in a building that is four stories high, perhaps there is easier access on the other side.
There is, as I mentioned vehicle access up, if you dont fancy the climb, because it’s very steep up the ramp but the views across the Tyrrhenian Sea and around the coast are amazing.
Many of the buildings date back the the 13th century.
It is quite ouah

In other news, Ian Lavender, the youngest member of the cast of Dad’s Army, has died.
It was a brilliantly written and acted series, best of British!
That is very sad news.
The funniest bit of Dad’s Army is when they captured the U-Boat crew. The German Captain (welsh actor – Phillip Madoc) is struggling not to laugh when Ian Lavender sings his “Whistle while you work, Hitler is a twerp!” song. Arthur Lowe has his classic line:-
“Don’t tell him, Pike!”
It’s on YouTube, and is just fabulous comedy, looking at the actors struggling for composure.
When lying on his gurney, Sergeant Plod arrived and read out a formal caution related to overly agressive responses to home invasions.
George let off a chain of expletives that none of us had ever witnessed from him.
What happened then?
Bear in mind this:
CRIMINAL CODE 1899 – SECT 271
Self-defence against unprovoked assault
271 Self-defence against unprovoked assault
(1) When a person is unlawfully assaulted, and has not provoked the assault, it is lawful for the person to use such force to the assailant as is reasonably necessary to make effectual defence against the assault, if the force used is not intended, and is not such as is likely, to cause death or grievous bodily harm.
(2) If the nature of the assault is such as to cause reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm, and the person using force by way of defence believes, on reasonable grounds, that the person can not otherwise preserve the person defended from death or grievous bodily harm, it is lawful for the person to use any such force to the assailant as is necessary for defence, even though such force may cause death or grievous bodily harm.

Yes I could have put that better.
Now tell us how your Ford shares are doing. It seems to have some bearing on your filthy mood tonight.
Lizzie.
It is my melancholy duty to inform you that I agree with Nurse Betty earlier today.
The episode where the Power Hog left lunch to collect cigarette butts was clearly an attempt to embarrass you and leverage you into coughing up*.
And, whilst I hinted at it being a “teachable moment” I didn’t raise the issue of what happens when you “cark it” as Betty so indelicately put it. However, now that it has been raised, it is a consideration.
Someone else also raised the issue of wills and bequests. One thing worth considering is that adult children often successfully challenge wills by demonstrating that they were effectively still dependent upon the parents**.
Leaving an audit trail of picking up the tab for expenses would, in fact, support that claim, to the detriment of other intended beneficiaries. If required, perhaps the occasional contribution in kind, rather than cash, might be more appropriate. Perhaps the occasional provision of groceries? Way harder for a shifty lawyer to establish a trail and quantify that as ongoing support.
…
* The ideal response to the cigarette butt stunt?
“That’s nice dear. Be careful you don’t pick up any menthols.”
** The one which comes to mind is Brian Naylor, Channel 7 newsreader who died in the Black Saturday bushfires. He had excluded one son from his will after several unsuccessful bail-outs of his junkie lifestyle. The son challenged and got a payout. Perversely, the bigger the no-hoper, the greater chance of a legal win.
Hey Cassie,
I thought you may enjoy this.
It bought a tear to my eye.
Death of the blog, Gabor? I was not speaking of me but of the appalling pile on behaviour and general nastiness that blogs seem to be prey to. Good commenters get fed up with it and find other places to put their time and energies.
I am perfectly disposable, as any individual is.
Turtlehead
You’re not capable.
Last time I traded Ford was over a decade ago, you dissembling slug, so would I be talking about Ford stock?
How are the political bets you claim to have taken in virtual reality or the virtual gold hoard you claim to posses, nurse Betty? You think anyone buys into that?
My mood? Just because I think you’re a waste of space with ridiculous (feral) pretensions of being a public intellectual doesn’t put me in a bad mood. It makes us laugh. Next time, either come back in reasonable time, or stop trying to play the delayed reaction in the hope that it puts your trolling in a better light. It doesn’t fool anyone.
Hey Cassie,
I thought you may enjoy this.
It bought a tear to my eye.
Thanks for that Pogs, it did make me cry, tears of joy. I’ve been sitting here with tears down my face after earlier watching what that Greens skank said about us Jews. So, it was really good to watch that.
My God our canine friends are special creatures. There’s a Midrash story that honours our canine friends….that when we left Egypt the dogs stayed quiet, they didn’t bark and nor did they howl, so as not to alert the Egyptians that we were leaving.
I just love them.
Who is “us”?
Name them.
Swift/ Biden
” Biden collected enough votes to win from a late youth surge mail in vote”
It’s narrative setting for a fresh surprise result.

I have nothing much to say about Swift. I don’t know much about her music except that it sounds childish.
What I find amusing is that the Dementia administration and the American left are sending vibes that she would be a great recruit for political gain. I find the proposition laughable.
But then for a political party that has nothing to run on except TDS, calling people racists, DEI and moving kids around sex-wise through surgery etc, I guess they would think Swift would be an excellent spokeswoman for dementia.
Bloody hell! JC has given the turps a hiding this evening.

I already put time and energy into Social Media places that would make ye hair curl … assuming it wasn’t already ..
I go there to find out how people think .. and they dont think like you folks do … AT ALL …..
But they are all people .. I like some of them … sometime I can see why they think the way they do for Honorable reasons … mosy often not .. jusyt like here .. but that is the way the planet spins …
Doesn’t matter if I like you or not (happens that I do) … but in either eventuality you are a worthwhile person … Hey ..coming from a Bloke you have hit up with quite some heat … I dont mind …
Just Chill ..you are Fine … stick around … Hey I am a nomad and “wouldnt be lost without you ” but it might disappoint me a little bit … but these people need You .. don’t desert them in their time of need …..

mini-me floats in like a turd though a sewer.
Sancho, thanks for your kindly interest in my son and his issues. I mentioned them only because of their general interest. As I mentioned in part of my response to Johanna’s snide remarks about inheritance, we have taken detailed legal advice concerning this son and the content of our Wills. We heard some horrific stories of wills being challenged due to ‘dependence’, to the detriment of other beneficiaries. Anything I do to assist this sad son is done on a temporary basis and with legal oversight. We are not heartless though to any of our family in need.
Not a drop in about a week, Toad. Don’t even think of it.
You need a new career.
Everyone should take 3 minutes out of their life and listen to ‘Don’t let the old man in’…
RIP Toby Keith, sadly passed at just 62…
Cassie,
I remember you mentioned a while ago about the dogs staying quiet. I had never known that. I have four moochers. 😀
The Jewish lobby and the Zionist lobby are infiltrating into every single aspect of what is ethnic community groups, they rock up, and they’re part of the campaign,” she said in the meeting.
“Their tentacles reach into the areas that try and influence power, and I think that we need to call that out and expose it,” she said.
At best she is an evil chalice of green slime. May she and her ilk in Gaza rot in hell…
The cops don’t care…this lack of care for our common law and civil rights has shocking consequences.
The tolerance of deliberate lies by police and prosecutors is intolerable and such malicious prosecutions need to be punished. Incompetence is not an excuse, these are competitive positions.
I know an old friend who was tried for assault, on seeing the CCTV footage, it was immediately dismissed. Then we have Dr Duk’s infamous case. Both cases involved obvious and unpunished perjury by the police and any advising DPP lawyers.
We need a purge and I am not joking.
Professionalism, a duty to the truth and discernment of facts tempering any zeal for justice needs to be the bare minimum.
Don’t you freakin’ “Sigh!” me, champ!
Dot,
It’s taken Argentina around 80 years to try and purge itself of the damage done by a fascist/socialist mindset and even now it’s not a given Milei will succeed.
How do you propose a purge?
Joseph please stay
All you do is sniff other gals
This weave is difficult but it’s real
You do know how long

A sweet story.
As I age, I understand more why some are so passionate about caring for animals, particularly those who have been mistreated and discarded. I probably shouldn’t admit in public that I can imagine being a not-so-angelic avenging angel on behalf of the animals who cannot fight for themselves.
I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Commonwealth!
People like her do not get into positions like a VP of the US by not having any qualifications.
Oh yes they do. If you followed her career progression you would see knee pads as her greatest assets.
She was so bad she didn’t last past the second primary in the Democrat selection process and got no delegates and only 844 votes in two states in total. Worse than that, Donald Trump, who is not a Democrat and was not on any Democrat primary ballot got 1217 write in votes.
Biden got 19 million votes…
She is not where she is because she is smart, she is dumber than a bucket of rocks. She is there because she is black, female and not a threat to the bowl of blanc mange who is currently in the Oval Office… even her knee pads can’t help her there.

Some say Uncle Ho was Evil and John MaCain a squish or a Hero .. so hard to remember the conflicting contentions… may be i got it backwards?
Hard to keep the Evil Ones in the spotlight Eh ?
Is this a good time to bring up Ricky Slater?
I’m now being adventurous trying a dish called ‘le tonton’. All google tells me is it is slang for uncle.
Hopefully doesn’t involve tripe.

I know you follow “The Metatron” on YouTube like me, fellow noble one.
It’s funny, the edgy atheist soyience lovers are now decrying him for declaring that he’s a Christian.
“Christianity is a whacky religion!”
The problem for most people who would say this in the West, who has common law or Roman law, who is a Slav or speaks English or uses Latin or Cyrillic script, is that they are very, very likely culturally Christian, if they like it or not.
Okay retard buddy. This is a weird LARP Bird.
“I don’t know who Luke Skywalker is, but I know who Golda Meir was, who Spinoza was and who Captain Beefheart were…”
Yep, seems legit.

We can go on and debate whether Harris is or isn’t capable, but it really doesn’t matter. People (including a big majority of demons) think she’s a complete dud and scores lower than Dementia in polling. There’s no way the Demonrat establishment would let her near to the oval office.
I know you follow “The Metatron” on YouTube like me, fellow noble one.

Yeah, Metatron is great, and he knows his history. I think he’s originally from Naples. I love Italy, Italians, Italian food, anything Italian. Ashkenazi Jews and Italians share close genetic markers and that makes me very happy.
I’m not surprised he’s a Christian. I’m happy.

Help me out here … are Jedi Evil or not … ? Some guidance please.
J.C:
My replies are delayed because I have to do stuff. I don’t sit by the computer all day pressing the reload button so I can keep up.
You really do need to get some psychiatric help. From what I see, you are becoming more and more irrational in the way you attack people who are minding their own business.
You are sounding paranoid and delusional – constantly claiming you never start fights, even when it’s been pointed out to you that you do.
Cassie these people are “special”.
They don’t know what day jobs Copernicus, Mendel, Lamaitre etc all had.
There’s plenty of atheistic un-science too, see Lysenko and the Ahnenerbe.
Knackered!
Spent the whole day in Parliament House meeting with pollies as part of the Reckless Renewables rally.

I’ll gone Cats a roundup when we’re finished.
All is well.

Onya Dot! You’ve got my vote!
Now about the election promises you made last time – you remember, $10,000 a week, and two women in every bed?
Someone was running it like a business.

I’m 8th on media covering Alan Winston Filion
The media is ignoring this huge story
Because its not Right Wing crazy enough for them.
In fact it leads right back to radical leftists who paid to have @RepMTG and catturd2 and many others swatted.
Wait until the ones who purchased the service get arrested its going to be interesting.
gone – give
Told you I’m buggered.
We did have a few sherbets after at the Civic Pub.
A promise I made to myself.

Julius Steicher, the Gauleiter of Nuremberg and publisher of Der Sturmer, would’ve have been proud of that disgusting statement.

“Cassie these people are “special”. ”
Oh Goshhh Dot I am sure you arent “special ” like all of those other people and would thank your’e lucky stars and so would Cassie … That you werent “special” that is …. and you know what a lot of famous people did for a Day job!!! Hey on My Quiz Night Team any time Sparky !!!
Your replies are deliberately delayed because, for some insane reason you believe it gives you a leg up. You’re posting countless add-on fluff to other people’s comments before a trolling reply to me. The above shows your stupid strategy.
Sure, you do. If you’re not posting stupid add-ons, you’re furiously up and down ticking comments (your own and other people’s) and trying to ruin the blog because you’re an old woman holding grudges and suffering from an inferiority problem.
For what, because I think you’re a moron? How would a mental health expert change that reality? Why would he?
From what you see? I posted a comment—call it an “add-“on”—that referring to an empty and full plot in the same sentence is idiotic. You agreed, even though the Bush Pig tried to cover for you. How is that irrational, you dickhead?
No, I’m not. I’m very clear about what I think of you and will continue to say so when I see fit. You call it irrational, lying, or paranoid because you have no response. Claiming that I start fights is laughable. The bush pig started this one, like he does all the time, and then falsely claims that I do. You really are stupid. You think that by repeating this bilge people will buy into it. They don’t, as we all have a measure of your incompetence by now.

Did cross my mind Sancho, but if it was, it was very tasty.
It’s a very popular dish today, the ladies in sensible shoes at the table next to me saw what I’d ordered and followed suite or is it suit?
I’ve just realised ‘carte bleu’ is not accepted, think I have enough cash or it’s quite a hike up and back.

Now might be a good time to ask him ” what is a woman” before the crying game begins.
Now about the election promises you made last time – you remember, $10,000 a week, and two women in every bed?
Indian chap on MAFS.
Very disappointing, he hasn’t asked for bobs and vagene yet.
People keep mentioning MAFS. WTF is that?
Indian? Did he steal petrol?
Just talking to Hairy about prostate cancer. He mentioned that his specialist whom he saw the other day is looking much older.
That’s absolutely what you want to see in your cancer specialist, I say delightedly.
It was his ten year check up. All good. Hairy thinks Charles likely has advanced metastatic prostate cancer. Not good.
We are watching The Late Debate. It is such fun. I needed that.

re. Harris, let’s hope she never has a chance.

There’s no reason to hope. She doesn’t. That of course excludes the possibility that the corrupt child fiddler doesn’t croak between now and November.
No. It’s not. There is such a depth to it.
Yesterday Sancho put up a video called Kumbyah.
A pisstake? I viewed it anyway.
It broke my heart. It was so full of Christian feeling.

Nah Trump is going to win though it doesnt enthuse me much this time around … I hit the “virtual” Hustings for Orange Man back in 2015 … put quite a bit of effort in. This time around not so much… Old Boss … New Boss you know the set up. Sure anything has got to be better than the Jabbering Cadaver but .. Hmnn ..we gonna se WWIII either way … what is the point?
It’s a real mystery.
Wanna know what would make my Life complete? To pour Julian Assange a glass of my nice cold Home brew in the “Booka” .. I know it will never happen because people that call them selves Conservative .. are anything but.
Ruth, who rarely comes in, but lurks. I just scrolled back a bit checking my phone issue and saw your comment about your brother. Glad things got better for him as he aged. A friend of mine, a doctor in a jail near Brixton in the UK, used to say in his youthful wisdom you just have to keep them alive till they gain some sense. Sadly for such a clever and thoroughly well-read and intellectual man, he was later to join ‘them’. Morphine addiction. I haven’t heard from him since that news came through the grapevine of old Cambridge friends of Hairy. Tried to send some good wishes, but don’t know if they arrived.
So true what you say, Ruth. Thanks for your understanding of what you and I know to be an intractable and consuming problem when it hits your own family. I did drug counselling to comprehend more about it.
The iconography in that video. Stunning and sensitively done.
The ‘heart’ of the matter. So lacking in Islam’s 7th century poor imitation.

Islam is not a tottal disaster zone .. sure …They dont have the Word of Christ as clearly as we might ..and likely they may not have to .. in my darker times I was closed to Christ but it didnt mean He left me go swing.
Islam is treading the correct path … IMHO..
So derivative and so, so solipsistic. Hegel, where are you?
Happy eating, Rosie.
If it’s not poisonous, some human somewhere will be eating it.*
One of the joys of travel.
* watch out for fugu fish. Special chefs prepare it in Japan to remove its poison.
If you die, the chef loses his right to prepare.
Personally, I think if you die, he should die too, with the same badly prepared meal.
And Guys that Docco you are discussing .. ~disclaimer~ I didnt see it .. so count me a bit clueless on that score ..

That’s a very good article, Indolent. It clarifies a couple of issues that appear to have been made murky by a Leftist media.
Many upticks.

This is classic example of your paranoia.
I made a first post today at about 1130am. This means it will appear at @1130am. Nearly half a day after your post @1059pm. Then you invent a 4 line claim that I’m sitting here half a day later, until now, dreaming of ways to get at you.
You can add Narcissistic to your Paranoid Sociopathy. on just those 4 lines alone.
You are nuts. And getting nuttier.
Look, give the blog a break for a week. Take a holiday – even buy or rent a yacht. You can afford it. You can afford it even more than you can afford the breakdown that’s in your future.
The stockmarket will take care of itself while you’re away – you’re not that big a player that the US economy will take a nose dive into the dunny while you’re lying on a beach in the Bahamas.
I may have missed it, but has anyone given any thoughts on how the BRS appeal appears to be going?
