Second!
Interesting day. Saw a new method of euthanasia for hosses, instead of pumping in a litre of green dream and hoping they don’t thrash around too much- just withdrawing 30mL of cerebro-spinal fluid from the base of the skull and injecting lignocaine, which is a neurotoxin. Instant brain death, heart and lungs very soon after. Means you don’t have to worry about water table or scavenger contamination either.

Rome: Thoroughly recommend the Hotel Qurinale, Via Nazionale. An echo of glory from years gone by. Comfortable, clean, central location, great staff … and a fabulous open “salon” to sit in at night and enjoy a glass of pinot grigio … or two … before bed.

Forget the tourist hotspots … Trevi Fountain (drained, being refurbed), Parthenon (charge to enter; queue about 100 metres long), Piazza Navona (being refurbed), Colosseum (they had clothing mannequins with “sale specials” in some of the lower arches! Spare me!).

Having said all that … it’s still Rome. Nowhere else in the world even vaguely like it!

For those interested in such things suspended Dr William Bay is saying he got a very good 3 day hearing in his case against AHPRA. Judgement in a few weeks.

M Steyn poses an interesting question.

Why is Kamala going to Texas to campaign?
Texas is hardly a swing state, but as Steyn muses, without Texas Trump cannot win.

Maybe the Dems are trying the biggest election heist in history and steal Texas?

Good luck with that.

  1. M Steyn poses an interesting question. Why is Kamala going to Texas to campaign? Texas is hardly a swing state,…

  2. Check out the gladiator school ruins across the road from the Colosseum – you can look into them from above.…
