Sounds like something Senator Palpatine would say.
Just sayin'!!

Under the umbrella at the momemt. It just started bucketing! Drizabone weather here now. But gee whiz don't we ever need the rain! My tanks will be full in an hour at this rate. Then when we have a moment, I will pretend to check my watch and with a deep exhale say "Its Friday, I think I might ...

:LOLS: Av .. beware grumpy old man syndrome 😏 I prescribe a vigorous dose of Mallorys at least one per day .. will lift your mood ... 😏 .. reinvigorate a vital sense of silliness which value cannot be overestimated. A course of Mallorys for two weeks should arrest grumpy man syndrome .. but occasio...

The Bill of Rights grants no rights. It defends the people against the government. The contemporary writings are unanimous that the rights protected by the BoR pre-exist the Constitution. None of them exist without defense - either by government or the individual. Sometimes I think that Australia i...

Wow there are people that think theres a liberal bias to math and science. I would think such fields were understood to be apolitical and areligious. Yes .. thats not actually a word but not religious.. and thats the problem for critics of that ilk ... because its hard to take knowledge that confli...

This week was all fire danger through inordinate 35+c heat coupled with nasty winds.\
Today we wont break 19c and the wind is cool. Likely down to 7 overnight.
Almost fireplace weather.

Thank goodness we have moved on from this kind of manipulatory media abuse!

HA
Yes the times have changed. Back then there were editors, as a conduit to the press, now with Twitter you can be a dropkick, high on a petulant fever and no yes man can save you! Progress!

The Irish breakfast tea is good today.. So old Duck lips with the wonky ankles is beating his chest. He is a sycophant so it is to be understood. Putin and Assad, Jerusalem and the Saudis, North Korea and the Taiwanese. . . . I have enjoyed some of the Commonwealth games. A touch of class from athle...

Yes yes... Pete, The Germans are throwing Boris under the bus on the Russian front. Nice to see they are dropping international law references, and presumptions of innocence before guilt as you were pointing to earlier, It is Friday! I think some IPA experimenting may happen this evening. I must rem...

Bill and Ben

Who the **** advises Corbyn! After a month of continual negative coverage, the press media had at last turned to a new subject, the military research laboratory Porton Down's refusal to identify Russia as the source of the nerve agent that poisoned the Skripal's in Salisbury, and instead of staying...

I wouldnt have pinched you Kizza 😎 How the hell could you know, for sure? Is there a secret "The Watch" ID card?... Vraith, One cold and wet winters day I was out on a fog laden rugby field. One of those days where it is so cold that you seriously question why you pursue these pastimes. I...

Sky, Largs is transforming into a housing estate or development...... has been the plan for a while. I don't know where they are up to with that actually.
Yesterday I counted 7 permanent speed cameras on a 75 minute roundtrip. I am back to using the cruise control more often. Even in 60kmh zones!

Ha! Thanks Pete. The Rabbitohs are a rugby league tesm. Named after the purveyors of rabbits who would raise funds for the club at the turn of the 20th century. People would stand on the corner with rabbits for sale - meat was hard to come by - and they woiuld call "Rabbitoh" to bring the ...

It was a stationary camera.
Not a soul around. . . . .
Revenue raising it is. Fines have doubled and trebled here in the past 5 or so years I think.
Worse still that's 3 points off the licence too.
Oh well. Still, The Rabbitohs won!

Where did Easter go? Tempus fugit. . . . Hope you are all well.
It's eay to think positively when the Rabbitohs win!
Even tho I got a speeding fine. $489.00............. 8 kms over the limit. 4:30am on a highway.
Still! The Rabbitohs did win!

They'll breed 'em out?

In my time as a "younger man" I played rugby league and union at reasonably high levels. Only ever played a bit of social or scratch cricket. Summer for me was always tennis and the beach. Anyway, more recently I always took my sons to their cricket matches each weekend, for years. I used ...

Peter, It seems that the media has forever caned Charles. Diana was such a hit that he was always going to come off second best. The scandal created through myths and rumours concerning Dianas death, and the parentage of their youngest son is pretty awful. Sometimes when people have big ears and a l...
