I also acknowledge that I have no plans whatsoever to give this land-and-mansion package back to them. Now, would anyone like a Gin & Tonic?”

Goes back a few years ago, but a certain prominent Social Justice Warrior here, in the Wild West was gravely saying that, in the interests of reconciliation, all land titles to agricultural land should be declared null and void, and farmers be prepared to re – negotiate those titles with the traditional owners of that land. She was aghast when asked if she would be leading by example, regarding her house in the leafy suburbs. That was HER house – she’d PAID for that land.

There’s been more chatter about da inequalidy between the rich and poor in the past few weeks.
Here’s a thought. Perhaps a Sundanese can come up with the equivalent of Amazon like Bezos has done.
In 1997, the stock was worth US$1.58. Last night it closed at US$918.38 a share. It’s been compounding at an astonishing 37% a year.
Nice story on Seven News just now, of the latest graduates of the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn today.
One guy has just graduated aged 62.
Marvellous. He gets to tick a bucket-list box and NSW gets a guy who’ll be lucky to last 3 years, until retirement. It really has become the NSW Police Circus.
Do the NSW taxpayers get a refund if he quits before 65?
What will the PTSD payout be after his first assignment?
Ya know, it would not have been beyond the realm of possibility to sock away 100,000 of Amazon stock back in 1997 for $158,000. The holding would be worth $92 million today.

I hope Bolt pursues Waleed Aly for his comments tonight on the AFP ‘accidentally’ using the meta-data of a journalist (illegally). Why? Because, Aly explained, police/intelligence agencies can monitor who a target speaks to and when (plus where) – without necessarily monitoring a conversation per se – and then leak those connections to the media to undermine their mark.
That is exactly what Obama did to Trump.

Who gives a fk what you think.
On the eve of Pope Francis’s visit to Egypt, Pope Benedict XVI has broken his silence, condemning radical Islam as creating an “explosive situation’’ challenging the future of Europe.
The retired pope’s words contrast sharply with those of his successor, Francis, who argues that “Muslim terrorism does not exist’’ and it is not “right to identify Islam with violence’’.
He should never have stood aside.
I’ll bet the next news story featuring this couple has them bawling, because no – one will rent them an apartment..
On the earlier subject about jeans. Despite what that sometimes idiot, Artiste says about me. I don’t wear creased jeans.
This convoluted nonsense goes back perhaps 5 odd years ago when I mentioned that wifey was away and the ironing lady was too. So I took my washing to ma and she ironed a center crease in my jeans. Since then he’s plaguing me with the same accusation.. along with other assorted and related nonsense.
I do wear jeans and I’m over 40. The only off the rack brand I buy are 7 For All Mankind, as they do make an effort to fit older people well.. I also had jeans made to measure by 3X1 who have their shop in SOHO NYC. They fit perfectly, but expensive. Chinos are fucking gay.
She’s the Australian editor of Vogue. Didn’t you know.

You big fking baby. You can’t launder your own clothes?

Just off the phone with my old dad, who’s 80 and lives in the mid north coast. He mentioned how he’d ironed all the pillowslips before his Singaporean guests arrived.
Needless to say I think irons are needless.
Hmmm … curious. I wonder what else the Fitbit counts as steps? Some of Groogley’s PBs might need to be investigated, although not by me.

What’s an “iron”?
Back to the Amazon story. The firm reported $35.7 billion in sales for the quarter. That’s like
$397 million a day!
$16.5 million a hour
$275,000 a minute
$4,600 a second
Incredible
I bought a new iron about six years ago. Put it away somewhere “logical”. Haven’t found it since; true story. 😀
Dude!
Pilling is when friction on a textile causes little balls to form on the textile surface. It’s really a type of felting which involves moisture and friction (erk) acting to weld the fibres together. It’s most likely in wool (because of little barbs on the fibres) but other fabrics can also be affected.
So these womens’ thighs were rubbing together and causing the problem.
Transparency happens when the knit is stretched so much that the gaps between the individual looped stitches become enlarged. In spandex type fabrics the stretching may be so severe that the fabric’s “memory” is lost and it becomes permanently distorted.
Unattractive.
Thanks for the clarification, Calli.
Fat women should wear running shoes.
Ironing was a 1950s big thing. Less in 1960s. Now why bother?
Regards tracks and Lululemon. I am quite fond of women dressed in Lorna Jane finery doing laps of the park, trying to run away from their bottoms. Long may it continue.
Really? You reckon an un-ironed suit loo0ks good, hey?
Thin women should wear running shoes.
And bespoke jeans are ?
What’s a suit?
Jeans, preferably dark blue or black denim.
On a serious note, denim must be the most successful material ever conceived.
We wouldn’t even know her name outside her corporate client base if the Media Party wasn’t obsessed with giving her every move free publicity. I can only assume a lot of news producers are hoping for invites to free corporate beanos. The issue, again, is the Media Party deciding what is and what is not ‘news’.
JC, suits aren’t ironed. They are dry cleaned.
No, the true crime against humanity are the ones who waddle round in the skin tight, black yoga pants, with the great, white roll of fat hanging over the top of said yoga pants..
You reckon an un-ironed suit loo0ks good, hey?
FFS, you don’t iron a suit. A suit is pressed.
A little history.
MS – media makes up ‘news’.
Hmm. Something used by an unbroken dishwasher, I believe.

This old thing still going?
Gab, there’s pressing involved no? That’s a form of ironing.
Pressed is steam ironing, you idiot. What do you fucking think pressed/ironed means?

Overweight anthythings of any age look awful in tight jeans. What is your point?
For the record, I have never owned, or worn, blue jeans. Thought they were rather common and conformist. When I was young and nubile, I owned white jeans, and cords, though. But they were not everyday wear. I mainly wore skirts and knee high boots.
I can’t understand the lack of self-awareness that allows pudgy middle-aged males to wear blue jeans. They always remind me of Bill Clinton in his “mom jeans.” Even if they are not pudgy, they look like the old roadies who wear Rolling Stones T shirts and ponytails, because they think it makes them look kewl.
The great thing about the blue jeans thing was that it avoided having to think about what to wear. The bad thing about the blue jeans thing was that it …

You ostensibly lived in Canberra for most of your adult life, but you were no conformist. Okay.
Oh yea, the Stevie Nicks ensemble. Got it.
Jeans don’t look good on fat women. Perhaps that’s why it was a good idea you don’t wear them.
For lord’s sake, they perform the same function.

She is or was the wife of the imbecile passing insider trading information to a plumber (if I recall), who got caught then dobbed him in. He worked at Macquarie and may still be in jail.(not the plumber obviously)
Interestingly, the father of the idiot made a ton of money in a firm peddling rare earths. I rode the stock for a short while and got the fuck out when this fucking idiot fee raker was put on the board, who I believe to be a crook.

“great, white roll of fat hanging over the top”
Known as a muffin roll. Look next time you buy a muffin, the name is appropriate.
As different to the rear view of a g-string combined with low slung daks, known as a whale tail.
That’s a new keyboard and a double Limeburners you owe me, Stimpson. There is one family locally – grandmother, mother and daughter, who present themselves down the street, cleverly disguised as bulging Lycra sausages, with painted fingernails, and heavily tattooed. Not a pretty sight.
Zyco, Roxy is one of those freaks that what passes for high society in Sydney throws up (almost literally.) She’s a publicist, married to a bloke who’s in jail for fraud, carrying on with various other blokes meanwhile, has a small daughter who is relentlessly promoted for money, yada yada. Anyone who has even fleetingly mixed in the circles of Sydney’s nouveau riche will recognise her type. Truly awful, toxic, amoral and uneducated to boot.
If she ever went to prison, she’d be top bitch in a week.
You prefer old rich, Johanna.
He went to prison for breaking insider laws, not fraud. They aren’t the same thing.

Amazon share price is a completely depressing insight in to the Wall St mind: it isn’t what the actual profits are, it’s the built in expectation Amazon will eventually put every other retailer on the planet out of business.

Great match.
There’s a trainer on the Dogs’ bench who looks like Ron Jeremy.
GWS stole their theme song from the ‘stonecutters song’.
No kidding, malls and department stores in the US are in serious trouble and Amazon has been mostly responsible. It has a market cap of around $450 billion. That’s certainly very very large, but it’s not extraordinary. There is a real, credible story there.
He’s the doctor.
JC is off with his lies again. His blind hatred turns him into a public fool. For example:
I lived in Sydney for most of my adult life. You just made that up.
My clothes predated Stevie Nicks by some years, and anyway were not that style. But, even if it was true, so what, dickhead?
and Ent, according to Morningstar, these are the biggest institutional shareholders in Amazon
So, 25ish% is owned by institutions meaning the balance is owned by regular people (mostly). That’s not just Wall Street believing in this story.
Stimpson! Don’t you ever, ever, ever, ever, fucking EVER do that again!!

Brisbane stole their tune from the French national anthem. Obviously they had to tone down the lyrics somewhat to please the SJWs at the AFL.
Funny story: A mate of mine was in Paris watching the granny in a pub back at the beginning of the century when the Lions were winning grand finals. None of the locals were paying any attention to the game until after the end of the game and they played the Lions club song. The Frogs all stopped and looked at the tele with a collective WTF.
And I have so very many more…

Okay, so lets be accurate. Dead accurate. You have claimed to have worked as a tax hoover for half your working life. That’s not most, but it’s obviously 50%. That’s not “Slouching Towards Gomorrah”? A truly long time to be stealing off the taxpayer. Too long.
Stevie Nicks is ancient. How old are you then, Sweetness.
You once claimed to be 130 kilos. Now you claim to have been very slim, strongly suggestive that you’re a porker nowadays. Also, the food you discuss at times – that you seem to prefer- is not conducive to slimness and healthy living.
God is merciful at times. Having said that people who have met you have referred to you as fat… among other things. Now, I’m not trying to cause a fight or be harsh on you Johanna, I’m just putting it out there.
Really, like you haven’t heard of the pot and the kettle story?
As it happens, as part of the endless unpacking exercise, I did come across some photos along those lines. Whoever said that youth was wasted on the young was right. I had no idea what a hot little number I was, and mostly frolicked around having a good time. No agenda, it was never going to end. Never had much money, didn’t care, everything would work out. Which it did, usually.
The great thing is, I never shared the enthusiasm of many of my contemporaries to completely change the world. The world seemed pretty damned good to me. And, I was right about that.
No. There is no salvation – only alcohol can numb the mental torture, and stop the screaming in the brain.
FWIW, I can recommend the new Christopher Bell title on “Churchill and the Dardanelles.” Good reading, check it out. Seems quite a few people thought the Gallipoli campaign would succeed, but Churchill was prepared to accept full responsibility, while others ducked for cover…
I always thought it was Oscar Wilde, but George Bernard Shaw actually penned those lines.
Which means either of two, possibly three things.
1. You never saw a mirror in your life.
2. You weren’t a hot little number at all.
3. You’re totally delusional.
Good looking females of course know they’re good looking, because other people tell them and they look in the mirror.
Stop lying.

Depends the type of jeans.
Levi 503s are the jeans of choice for the over 40 set. Slightly flared and comfy as anything. Cool.
As you get older you can take the vee out of the flares and sew it into the arse.
You are a God damned legend LL. Trumble would be proud of your innovative innovativeness.
JC, you have been eating the wrong mushrooms again.
Suggest you change your pizzeria.
Another thing you just made up. Prove it, or apologise, you creep. It is another lie.
And to top it off, you once told us you’re 6’2, Johanna. Hot little number you weren’t. Giant pain in the arse more like it. 6’2 for a female is Amazonian levels.
What do you claim to weigh then, Sweetie?

Zulu, stop taunting – I am to to the stage where it’s either more red or Scotch, preferably with a Ronald Welch novel.
Chaps and chapesses fighting over boots and skirts ladies, stop right there.
This is what you’re after.
Forgive my ignorance – aside from John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War” series, Bernard Cornwell, or George MacDonald Fraser, I haven’t read a novel in years. Who is Ronald Welch?
Very slow US economy.
Females more reactively violent than males study finds.

As an Adelaide friend once remarked; “She’s got legs like Payneham road. They lead all the way to Paradise.” (A suburb of Adelaide for the uninitiated)
LOL. I had a pair of white 501s which were promptly co-opted by my girlfriend at the time who opined “they look a lot better on me than they do on you, trust me on this” and that was that.
My white red tab jacket was not negotiable, however. Still have two of them, among a collection of trucker’s jackets that includes an originals of sixties vintage (a sky blue corduroy).
Cohenite renovates houses, I collect Levi’s. To each his own.

What does this mean?
Arseless chaps can be converted to arsey chaps?
BTW, could I record my sympathy for Rabz in his moving traumas.
Moving house is the pits, and (as long as you are within Australia) it doesn’t much matter what the distance is. I’ve done it many times.
About six months after my latest move, which was only a few kms but over State lines, I am still getting the shockwaves. The ACT government wants to fine me for not voting when I no longer lived there. If I had voted, they would have fined me for that. I phoned them and explained the circumstances, but they said I needed a Statutory Declaration and other documentation – or I could pay a $20 fine and the problem would go away.
So much for the integrity of our voting system.
WTF are these “chinos” that people are speaking of?
A type of coffee or people(s) hailing (presumably) from the orient?
Okay, we all know where this is heading after the first couple of sentences.
Isn’t it that special cloth one uses to wipe down a car after washing it?
Massive reduction in illegal immigration and refugee numbers into the United States thanks to Trump. This is really good news. Even if the wall doesn’t get built because cuck Republicans want to be loved by the Left, the administration’s executive actions are having a big impact. As they should. No country needs to admit illegal aliens from Central America, and taking in Somali refugees is just dumb. Really stupid!
Time for the libertarian movement to get smart about this!

We don’t need new verses, we need a new song. It’s a woeful dirge.
Something like Ride Of The Valkyries would be better.
Oh, stop trolling.
Your trolling has no wit or humour or point.

I had no idea they were pants until recently.
I always thought chinos were the Asian version of winos, you know those homeless alcoholic white guys.
I thought they were very rare as I had never seen one.

The scope is limitless. Flare arsed chaps are no longer beyond the realms of possibility.
Comments are open on YAM’s possible future here.

No that’s a shammy.
I refuse to use it’s gay French looking correct spelling out of principle.
What would you know about humor, you mirthless fatso. As for trolling, you spend entire days bullying other females here.
Go to bed, as you’re annoying.
Hah ha, Baldrick, you’re such a romantic. We did laugh at your latest effort. My fella thinks you’re probably a latent homosexual. He says that would explain your fixation on Grigory and Septimus and the references to transvestites, and now a liking for men in jeans.
Because as we all know, the universe is crying out for more Vogon poetry.
LOL.
This one’s for Infidel Tiger. There is only one version of “Ride Of The Valkyries” fit for a national anthem. Could have problems with the accompanying footage, though.
I was sitting with some friends in a shopping centre around eleven this morning when a great big balloon in a display suddenly got brushed by someone or something, and the thing burst with a very loud BANG. People everywhere were just about ready to dive under the tables until they saw what it was. We live in nervous times.
Also, old photos are great. Photos we remember as ones where we thought we looked awful suddenly come good. Hey, I wasn’t so bad after all. Even in that one. Everyone should review their youth in photos regularly. Have a laugh at the fashions and resolve to do better now. 🙂
Hairy has just whistled all of Carrickfergus to me. So tunefully, in a beautiful clear whistle.
I didn’t even know he could whistle, let alone carry a tune doing it. People are full of surprises.
Take either the old option (the service revolver in the library) or the modern one (the necktie in the ladies toilet), you jerk.
Without any foundation, you’ve called me a fat, drunken, whore and numerous other foul insults here over the years. Unlike our most special snowflake here, I have not run to Daddy (Sinclair) and have taken my knocks. But, as one perceptive commenter has noted, you seem to imagine that you are some sort of Traditional Owner here, and have special rights.
Here’s the news, raisin testicles. I will never back down. Learn to live with it, pal.
And abusing kittehs, especially those who wore skirts and long boots in their heyday, is not going to end well for you. 🙂
Chamois.
There y’are Stimpy, you can have a lend of one of mine. Principles, that is.
Not a chamois.
Shammy, good for soaking up hooker’s blood.
Another thing is to find out what a “moose knuckle” is.
New thread.
Free of boring clothes discussion
I don’t know why you bother with JC, Johanna. He be-clowned himself on this blog in rather a spectacular fashion,nearly two years ago, was had for breakfast by every ex – serviceman on this blog at the time, and has been thrashing round trying to recover his credibility ever since. Give it away, he’s just not worth it.
Chinos are a very fine woven cotton, often has a slight sheen, and can be with a slight twill weave.
Mens’ pants are often Chinos. I think it is a Mexican term, but as I am going to bed, I can’t be bothered checking, but youse have all night to get it right.
Clothes maketh man, Zyconoclast.
There is nothing more important.
Especially important in human evolution.
I bet you’ve thought of doing just that a few times, haven’t you sweetie.
I’ve never called you a whore, you dishonest porker. What I’ve called you is an attention whore, which is true because despite accusing others of this very thing, you do loads of it yourself. Self reflection never comes easy for you, does it? “You hot little number”
Oh sure you have. You’ve threatened to sue me for mocking you with the very stories you’ve told about yourself. Recall the story about your horse riding issues? Umm… You’ve threatened to try and find my wife’s Facebook page and tell on me.. as though you would be a credible source about anything. You’ve made comments about the appearance of people you’ve met as just unwarranted attacks. No fucking wonder you’ll never score an invite with the people who live in Canberra…. Sweetness.
Everyday it’s a breakdown for you.
The so called knocks you’ve taken are when it gets a little hot for you and you run away for days licking those wounds on your very expansive body rolls.
Oh yes, the perceptive commenter ..that spiv Mickie Goldcoast who encourages and eggs on the mentally disturbed. That “edacated” commenter.
I couldn’t imagine you ever backing down as you’re physically unable to. The comment also shows the quality of the female you are to be commenting about testicles. Such lady-like comments. Such femininity. Perhaps nasty, attention whoring, obese slapper comes more to mind than a h0t little number.
Yea, “the hot little number”. I could very well imagine.
I guess Oliver isn’t around anymore.
Zulu, I finished Alan Moorehead’s Gallipoli just last week, and have no doubt it would have succeeded. The navy was the key to it all and there were several points where just one more push would have succeeded. I’m sure you know all this so will spare you the details.
In retrospect it seems cursed by the gods. Ian Hamilton was an amazing man.
Oh look who shows up. Ronery the group warrior, getting in line as usual.
Sad.
Factcheck status: True
Oh yes.
The hard man from the top end.
Interesting paper
http://physicsfromtheedge.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/quantised-inertia-from-fundamentals.html
Actual paper: McCulloch, M.E., 2016. “Quantised inertia from relativity & the uncertainty principle”, EPL, 115, 69001.
Who’s Ronery? Poor sad old JC, had for breakfast on this blog, on June 22nd, 2015, and trying to recover what ever credibility he may have had…Most amusing, JC, do keep it up..
Hey Dot
What do you think of this stuff?
http://www.simulation-argument.com/
I don’t buy into that, but there are strong reasons to believe that the 3D and above universe is a projection of a 2D “ultimate” reality.
Well if that theory is right JC, we’re proof of AI.
Poor JC, whipped more often than a red-headed stepchild, and it is he who is doing the whipping!
I think the word used for dudes like him is “massacre-ist” or something.
But Johanna was being kind with the raisin testicles remark.
In fact they both fit on a pin head.
Ronery’s been talking about me being had for breakfast for the past two years, usually late at night, never on his own and always drunk.
No life other than making ridiculous and inappropriate comments for years and years.
Really sad.
We gotta stick to the facts, hence that story gets repeated oft.
Works for me, you Thumtack dick.
It’s an interesting theory. One theoretical physicist reckons that there’s proof of this because the past is impacted by the future and if this is case, as he thinks, it could only occur in simulation.
Most amusing, JC, do keep it up. Is that the best you can do. No, didn’t think so. Badly unhinged and totally inadequate.
What are chinos, exactly?
What are frogs, Scully?
Of course Pubbler is the reasoned, objective voice at the Cat. There’s no truth the rumor he’s hurt because he can’t pubble nor outback here anymore after it was smacked out of him. Just kidding.
So to sum up, pubbler’s upset because of the above. Ronery reacts to being mocked because he has only variations of two topics he feels he’s competent to discuss here. The 1860’s east Congo uprising and not liking aboriginals.
Good work ladies.
Sure Ronery, like getting drunk every night and bawling here about being cuckholded 30 years ago. You sad little sissy.
Informal regular trousers.
Earlier on, Fatso reckoned that only men below 40 should wear jeans. She later admitted to copying Stevie Nicks’ attire in her youth when she was a “hot little number”.
Hmm, but Trump said it was going to three if his tax cuts get passed. Yeah nah.
I see the Obamacare repeal effort failed yet again. 100 days are up tomorrow. What a SCOAMF.
Wow, so you believe he was going to over 3% in his first 3 months of office. No wonder you failed first year economics.
It’s repeal and replace, but no matter it will get done.
If it gets done, JC, the GOP will lose the House in 2018. It is poison for Congressmen.
It won’t get done. Moderate Republicans aren’t that stupid. And if they are, they will disappear.
Ms Doolittle gushed over the expensive bottle of wine you brought along, was all “I could never afford such a thing” about it.
Go, Melbourne Cats!
I dunno Fatso, you seem to think that whatever you’re trying to say about a bottle of wine is supposed have meaning. Deep meaning.
I bought that wine from a wine dealer who posts at the Cat and trades in expensive imported wines. Trust me, you’d never be able to afford it, which I guess gets to you. Keep wearing the green dress, it looks perfect on you, you angry drunken slug.
BTW, since JC will never see forty again, the wearing of blue jeans by painfully inadequate males pretending to be hip and fooling no-one is relevant here.
It’s like Jacquie Lambie wearing tassels and a G-string, boys.
Give it away and get a decent tailor, or a mirror in the shop where you buy your strides.
You’re seriously one weird old chook. All men my age wear jeans, but you wouldn’t know because you live alone and have no experience with men, or haven’t for a very long time.
You’re a personal shopping adviser now Johanna… all the way from Bergdorf Goodman, Queanbeyan?
Bruce of Newcastle;
Ditto.
Have two pairs of uggs – one for Outside, and the newer ones for Inside Formal.
Plus a T Shirt and Flannelette Western shirt to complete the ensemble.

Presumably, a bit of a jibe.
Most tradies over 40 wouldn’t resemble Steve McQueen, they’re probably fatter than shiny arses, but you must meet ‘active’ blokes who work in the field who haven’t gone to seed?
