Whatever became of the ISIS psy-op?
Bueller?
“CIA Op?”
Correct
Get stuffed. I have a good book to read.
Is stage four lockdown when they weld the doors shut?
Yup.
And the vid I posted today was showing how it’s done.
especially the V8 rumble;
I’ll get some decent DPLRBL clips uploaded with better mic.
The machine sounds sik.
Headturning? Yup.
WOT?
Crazy lion roaring. Addictive.
#rightfootlyfe
Absolutely, Delta.
Some people should not be here for their own good.
The second time around Sinclair realised that and put her in moderation for her own good. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. She ended up back in hospital anyway.
P, cool lion pic.
I believe that. If the government promised a $750 pw UBI 81% would agree to a permanent Level 4 lockdown.
Yeah, it’s not an unbiased result.
Tracy has been pushing the ‘elimination’ barrow for the last few days, telling everyone that it was achievable. Even had Prof Tony Blakely (epidemiologist) on tonight, also saying that elimination was possible.
If you watched ACA (and couldn’t think independently) it’d appear as a no-brainer.
Zachary Rolfe: NT police officer’s parents sell house after Black Lives Matter activist threats
The high society parents of Constable Zachary Rolfe – who is charged with the murder of an indigenous man in the Northern Territory – are selling their home after threats from Black Lives Matter activists.
Craig Dunlop, Canberra Star
Subscriber only
The high-society Canberra parents of NT Police Constable Zachary Rolfe, who is awaiting trial for murder, are selling their dress-circle family home just weeks after revealing they had been the target of “conduct” so serious their son could no longer live with them while on bail.
Constable Rolfe, 29 is on leave from Northern Territory Police on full pay after being charged with the murder of Kumanjayi Walker, 19, after shooting him during an arrest at Yuendumu in November last year.
He has indicated he will plead not guilty.
The aftermath of Constable Rolfe’s shooting of Kumanjayi Walker saw tense protests around the country.
Constable Rolfe has not returned to the Northern Territory since being granted watch-house bail, after which he flew home accompanied by his mother, Canberra socialite and philanthropist Deb.
He has attended pre-trial court hearings by video link.
Constable Rolfe’s bail conditions included living at his parents’ home on Endeavour St, in the leafy Canberra suburb of Red Hill.
That changed last month when Northern Territory Local Court Judge John Birch rubber-stamped Constable Rolfe moving to an address — which is suppressed — after being handed a confidential affidavit detailing “conduct that is alleged to have taken place towards the defendant, as well as his family”.
The affidavit detailing the alleged “conduct” towards Constable Rolfe and his parents has not been made public, but the The Canberra Star has been told by nearby residents of “activists” who appear to be associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Constable Rolfe’s father, Richard Rolfe, is a successful and respected Canberra car dealer.
Requests for comment on his son’s case have been met with refusals from his staff.
The listing for the family’s five-bedroom home makes no mention of the apparent reason for the sale.
It is not being sold to bankroll Constable Rolfe’s top-dollar defence, which is being funded by the NT Police Association.
LJ Hooker agent Stephen Thompson told realestate.com.au the home was on a large parcel of land and would attract discerning buyers.
“In the true sense, it’s a character home, it’s good quality as is, but it’s like a farmhouse,” he said.
The Rolfe family has owned the house since 1999, when they started a “sympathetic renovation and extension” on it.
The home features a billiard room, a four-car garage, three outdoor areas and a formal lounge and dining area.
It goes to auction on July 25.
Another great Trump lady, Kathy Barnette, running for the house in 2020:

That’s totally wrong … in 1788 we were an honest penal colony where the crooks knew they were crooks, the troops knew they were troops, and the officers knew how to order the others around.
The Kafkaesque commie crap only started creeping in after 2000 or there abouts … a bit here a bit there.
NSW health are terribly pleased they’ve traced the Crossroads Hotel outbreak to a single man from Victoria.
I could have told them that, his first name is Daniel – last name Andrews.

Sir Humphrey explains about polls.
Which is a front organisation of the WHO which is of course the UN, and also the Gates foundation and other sick bastards, launched at Davos, they tie in with Fauci and his expensive “Vaccines” and drug companies he is a major shareholder in, and they’ve been instrumental in poo pooing any other vaccine that is competition to theirs, which has not been proven to work.
However it will work because once it gets the go ahead the virus will magically disappear.
This has caused many unnecessary deaths.
Check out Fauci’s comments on a visit to the Vatican.
She is one of the main pieces of shit that organised the plandemic at event 201, and I’m sorry but it’s just too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence.
Jane Halton just happens to be turning up on her old mate’s show, the tall streak of pelican shit that is putting party politics before her country, Credlin, tonight.
They turn up here and there, as their profiles rise from the corruption and havoc they reek.
Piss week ministers and Sco Mo is one of them , definitely know what’s going on and what they are up to yet she is almost public servant royalty.
She is a raging left wing snot box of idiocy, she is not a medical doctor, but a globalist activist.
She is chair of an organisation that is run by and funded by the WHO and gates, so therefore she is part of a dishonest organisation that lied about China and is led by a Maxist terrorist who is also not a doctor.
If these people are at the top of our long marched through swamp, how easy would it be, really, to carry off this bullshit.
Do you think she is the only one?
Do you think that brain dead second CHO of Victoria , Van Die-men, wouldn’t be part of it.
How many more behind the scenes?
How many hospitals, schools, police stations, court houses , councils, any government department, etc fly the marxist flags of race in front of their buildings?
The top players know what they are doing and the so do many more below them.
There are those just following the money below them, corruption not a problem at all, and there is the completely politically naive working for them throughout the whole swamp.
People scoff at this shit because they seem to think that every single person enacting this evil upon us, must be in on a conspiracy or that is what we are suggesting .
Not at all.
I’m sure those in health bureaucracies that ordered their doctors to fudge CoD figures did it for the extra money that they would receive, but somebody had to provide that incentive, set that situation up.
Why would they do that?
Which
There’s so much more and it is not conspiracy theory when you can see video of Fauci, you can watch them work out how the plandemic would run in

Zachary Rolfe: NT police officer’s parents sell house after Black Lives Matter activist threats
Fuck that pisses me off. But this is what the right have to do to the left; at least publicly shame them.
Dr BG,
The bloke I was thinking of when I put the vid upthread, was Willy of Tim & Willy, well known radio identities from Phoenix.
May his wonderful wife who was his mainstay, R.I.P.
Grimshaw is a lesbian recluse who only has horses for company.
Lockdowns suit her lifestyle.
Delta, Co-founder, Thank you for your support.
What I have suggested isn’t difficult. It is a starting point. You’ve already stated that you are going to start writing more letters. That is already a step towards something positive. If you do get to writing and can share that (I am conscious of the need for anonymity), that is another step. And maybe, someone reading what you share could then be motivated to do the same.
I threw in the term Catallaction Club as a whimsical suggestion. I have a time-battle, I am not here daily. The spirit is willing, but …………..
Here’s what I suggest. If either of us (or anyone else on the forum) wants to contribute to “the club”, they mark the comment # Catallaction Club (as below, unless someone has a better idea). Otherwise the comment can get lost in the general forum comment pool. Although a dedicated thread would be nice, this is not my blog. Having this Open Forum is much to be thankful for.
Re, the Fed member who doesn’t reply. Perhaps the member hopes the tactic will work and those pesky constituents will just go away.
Boambee John has offered some good suggestions here. (Honorary club member? 🙂 )

# Catallaction Club
TG, ask the Doomlord for my email. I’ll hook you up.
Yes!
Sounds like KRuddish.
Johno, if I have offended you with my lighthearted comment about the weirdness of this year, I am very sorry.
I blame the Killer Hornets. And the imminent collapse of the Three Gorges Dam. And all the other b/s that has washed ashore in the past six months.
From an article on internet Chess during lockdown in the Spectator. I have always had trouble with sums, but the final calculation is either hyperbowl or designed to make me even more fearful of numbers.
“After two moves each, there are already 72,000 permutations. After three moves each there are nine million, and after four moves each, 288 billion. In a game of 40 moves (about average) there are more potential permutations than atoms in the known universe…”

“After two moves each, there are already 72,000 permutations. After three moves each there are nine million, and after four moves each, 288 billion. In a game of 40 moves (about average) there are more potential permutations than atoms in the known universe…”
No. Not all moves are equal; once you wean out the dumb moves you’re left with surprisingly few.
It was.
Thank you for asking.
And I am much better thanks.
The sea air is doing wonders.

Oh dear! Horror!
From a staff of 6,083 (2018).
So less than 1% on a number two years old. My heart bleeds for them.
We had all that out LL.
You’re a smug arm chair critic who read in to our activities that which we did not say was our reasons as regard to the Anzac day protest.
What you wanted to think was our reasoning for doing it was not why we did it at all, but you had convinced yourself it was, so whatev’s.
Ancient history.
Boring subject and now irrelevant.
I don’t want to go there again, but if you want to make another comment about it I’ll oblige ……………….no actually fuck it.
Not worth it.
Get back to giving yourself high blood pressure about the Falconio murder.
That’s important right now.
What?
I checked my email. Nothing.
Oh. The other email. Hang on.

‘You are conflating two very separate groups of commenters.’
Yup.
Everyone pray that they’re never guarding prisoners in this guy’s army.
Sigh.
Although I mentioned this before:
Body language, and/or non-verbal communication is not admissible into evidence in any Australian court.
I think you can use it in the Pause The TV So I Can Make Notes Court of 21 Jump Street.
Natural instinct:
Bloody slow learners, aren’t they?
Try dropping the numbers 10% below the 2015 mark, and see if the senior admin people will take a 40% cut.
No?
+100 + eleventy-seven, Struth.
Especially the bit about “conspiracy theory”. One of the problems getting people to see all this, is their apparent need to lump it all together and label it all as one huge, impossible “conspiracy theory”.
Truth is far simpler. Lots of different groups, all with their own barrows to push, all jumping on a situation common to all. Our Liberals are on board because they see it as an election winner once they can start spending our super. WHO see the opportunity to become the preeminent force in world health control. The UN see themselves playing a leading role in whatever transpires. The Deep State Globalists see it as a means of beating the Chinese in their trade war. Gates and the the other Malthusians see it as killing off a lot of unnecessary people. And so on.
All with their own agendas, but all heading in more or less the same direction, utilising the same set of circumstances.

What if you have a series of newly migrated Indian witnesses, victims and accused?

Fucking hell.

“Truth is far simpler. Lots of different groups, all with their own barrows to push, all jumping on a situation common to all.”
Yup, no giant conspiracy, just a mutual confluence of normally disparate interests. Applies in spades to the global warming/renewable scam.
Why thank you.
It’s tough down here under the yoke of Dan.
Although we are outside the Iron Curtain, with no Dirty Dannograd visitors.
What Twostix said to Grigs re thinking you’re addressing 6th Class applies.
‘What if you have a series of newly migrated Indian witnesses, victims and accused?’
Not in our courts, no.
Although some of our Afghani, er, people have used kulcha related non-verbal things to mitigate their actions prior to sentencing (a good one is ‘but that child looked at me with those sexy eyes so I led him into the shopping centre dunnies ‘cos that’s what happens at home’) you can’t ask a jury to draw an adverse inference when adjudicating on guilt or not.
That Jo Nova really is a kook.
I see she is pushing for a full lockdown and complete elimination.
Sceptic my fat arse.

Jo “Karen” Nova. Blown whatever credibility she ever had about anything.
Stalker, I was talking about Jo’s work on alarmism. Now, don’t overreach. Just saying.
As well as rafiki?, Pickles and JABL are barristers IIRC, but I doubt they’re into online edumacation of the proles.

Skeleton Lovers? Couple Held Hands for 1,500 Years
Quick Fact
The story
There are ten pieces you can move on the first move, eight pawns and two knights. Moving a pawn can allow a bishop or queen to move to one of less than six squares moving the king’s pawn allows moving the queen or kb to one of nine possible squares. So after one move each there are 100 possible configurations, and after two moves each 10×10 ×19×19 = 36,100 possible configurations. It opens up a bit on the third move where there are about fifty possible moves, nearly all of them stupid, but this gives around the nine million he quotes. There are never more than 100 possible moves, all but half a dozen moronic, so you can see where he gets his estimate from, but I make it rather generous.
What does a possible Stage 5 lockdown in Victoria entail?
I’ve heard it can involve forced removal of foreskins. Is this true?
My response on the day was to a comment by Cardimona along the lines of “went down to the cenotaph in [????? Qld] this morning. Only five patriots there.”
My objection to that was that I would not be lectured by anyone about what patriotism means to me, and how I should express it.
This was followed by lots of sneering “Frank Thring” comments from the Cardigan Commandos.
There was also the implication that “this was what the Anzacs would have wanted”.
Presuming to know what Anzacs would have wanted is a misappropriation of their valour for your own ends.
Make your own case.
Don’t hijack the Anzacs as validation.
I’ve heard it can involve forced removal of foreskins. Is this true?
Let’s hope so; that’s all the hunchback is: one giant foreskin.
They sure breed conservative female pols tough over in NZ. A previous National PM Jenny Shipley went by the nickname “Tank Commander”.
A joke!
(in case someone mistakes it for God knows what else)
All I got was a cryptic message that said 91 kilo she male seeks love of his life for late night unrequited sexual miaowing. Is it code ?
That is a real head-scratcher for me.
On climate she is all-in for empirical evidence and forget the wild arse projections.
Then she sees one, well, wild-arse projection on Kung Flu and folds the tent.
Does anyone know Bjorn Lomborg thinks about Kung Flu?
Following his climate line, if he was consistent he would say, “well, Kung Flu is real, and it will cause some damage, but we are better to use targetted mitigation instead of blowing the whole joint up”.
I’ve got a lot of time for Michael Shellenberger. His arguments against alarmism and renewables are great. He’s got a good face for it too; he looks like a hippy. It would be a good combo to have him and Lomborg out here. I’ll get started on it.
‘Make your own case.
Don’t hijack the Anzacs as validation.’
I had hoped that odious comparison was buried.
A direct comparison was made that non-Anzac Day cenotaph attendees were smiling on ships, waving away the first assault boats going into Suvla in 1915.
Struth, you’re a lot better than that mate.
LL, the socialist Qld govt told socialist Qlders not to attend Anzac Day cenotaphs.
Who was I going to find there?
Socialists?
Where were you that dawn?
Obeying socialist orders?
LL, you’re a smart and funny Cat.
But you’re wrong on this one.
Ok, I’ve got the drum, the fire circle and the smelling salts all ready.
Oh please. That was sooo June.
It’s angry volcano otters now.
You prove my point Frank.
Do you realise that?
Get on with it sport, no time for you.
Plenty of room on the blog for all.
No need to interact with everyone.
Hopefully ADF will have a welcome to country and smoking ceremony organised before deployment.
Doc Beaugan:
Nah. That’d be stage five.
At stage four, they tie your shoelaces together.
Swine.

Penny Wong does not age well.
Every new day brings yet more butthurt for the CCP and the Western losers who back them. Soon it will be impossible for Chinese companies to list on the US exchange. Suck shit, globalists!
https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN24E2XW?__twitter_impression=true
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Trump administration plans to soon scrap a 2013 agreement between U.S. and Chinese auditing authorities, a senior State Department official said, a move that could foreshadow a broader crackdown on U.S.-listed Chinese firms under fire for sidestepping American disclosure rules.
I am being serious here Fault so take it in that vein.
Most posters here have no fucking idea if someone is adopting a persona to post here and putting on various guises to get a reaction or whether they are genuinely running off the rails.
I mean, Googlery played every trick im the book to elicit sympathy (and possibly dox anyone who dropped their guard).
Re the person you refer to.
I genuinely thought he/she was playing a game, oscillating between “you are all homophobes” and “the pooves have rejected me”.
I took it as a trolling pisstake.
Do you deny you used a phrase like “went to the cenotaph. Only five patriots here”?
No match for Marcus Adonis.
Good thing – the caste system is one of the more repugnant customs from India – it has no place in Western culture, especially when it is practiced by the class that plays the race card with such frequency.
Indians can behave how they want in India.
We have imported about 250,000 Indians since the year 2000.
I suspect the caste system came with some of them.
The way this is going, it won’t even matter who wins in November. So much carnage is being written into the US-China relationship not even Beijing Joe will know how to fix it. Trump has a few more cards to play but if he’s seriously behind in October he might as well go for broke and recognise Taiwan, at which point the “engagement” doctrine will be as valuable as space junk.
Not for a second, LL.
Now stop changing the subject.
Where were you at dawn last Anzac Day?
Cowering in your driveway because socialists told you to?
Single never married ex Hong Kong Headmaster free to give same.
OK.
I agree with that sentiment, particularly in light of the subsequent laissez faire attitude to BLM gatherings.
I was not critical of your mode of protest.
I simply objected to any implication that this was the only form of protest, and anyone who didn’t toe that particular line could be adjudged unpatriotic.
Did I read too much into that, or was that a reasonable view to take?
It was no one’s fault but her own. Her comment about Pell and telling Delta to ‘suck her mouldy dildo’ indicated mental instability that was mollycoddled by others with their own Selfish motives. The final straw came not from anything that Cats said, but rather from having her antics ignored.
Zyconoclast
Without doubt
Heard a story from an acquaintance about an Indian gentleman who complained to a APS selection committee that they had promoted a lower cast gentleman. That was probably around twenty years ago though.
Said the late Canadian poet:
The question is not “would there have been Socialists at the cenotaph?”
The question is “can you legitimately label everyone who wasn’t there as unpatriotic?”
Australia has some way to go in downgrading relations with CN but we’ll get there. 2 years of no migration, inward investment, international enrolments etc and it’s over. Eat it!
Did I read too much into that, or was that a reasonable view to take?
You read too much into it, LL.
There were three types of Queenslanders that dawn.
Socialists. people sucked in by socialists, and patriots.
I was there, with five patriots.
The other two categories folded to the socialists.
#quotefail
Those that don’t like what I’ve got to say, ..what can I say to that.
Boo fucking hoo.
To me Frank, and I’ve honestly forgotten why I called you that, you will always be wrong about the reasons behind attending the cenotaphs due to the simple fact that if you reckon attending was bringing the Anzacs into a political protest or some rubbish, then every year previous people were doing the same.
I was not going to let politics interfere with my attending the cenotaph and would not be told by totalitarians that I was not going to be allowed to do it.
It was to not allow politics to stop me going there as I did the year before and so on back.
So you’ll never let yourself see why I did it and it’s pointless continuing with you.
Scroll me, got no time for anymore bullshit about that.
I’m told our ministers can’t even get their Chinese counterparts on the phone for months now. That’s basically where we need the relationship to be indefinitely – no dialogue, no possibility of influence.
Not at all, LL.
That was neither stated, nor my intention.
They were sucked in by socialists.
That drivel is worthy of Notaclue.
Birds of a feather.
Melbourne University epidemiologist Tony Blakely on the ABC reckons we should tighten up the category of an essential businesses.
He thought we could do without butchers and hardware.
Academics should never be let near authority.
No.
No code.
No email.
Just reliving the Great Triggering experiment.
I was reminded of it by the “Pile On” hissing earlier today.
Just because three people disagree with your position does not necesarily mean they are acting in concert.
Clueless forensic troll on the attack again.
But victim of a ‘pile on’
Boo hoo.
And yet they are still buying record loads of our iron ore and coal.
They need us and it kills them.
Ol’ LL just out of hospital up for a few more swings.

Fair enough.
That was the impression I took and what I objected to.
It wasn’t immediately apparent that alternate protest modes were acceptable.

Right on cue with Nick and LL – the Vicco trifecta.
KD doing the whiteknighting.
KD has ex wife and kids in Townsville, Mark50’s old stamping ground?
Tommy Tuberville, arguably the best name in US politics, has defeated the cuck sessions 63.5% to 36.5%.
Are we having a civil war in vic yet?
Quelle surprise!
You had a few free swings this morning while I was busy, Ms 91kg of lean muscle.
You’re clocking up 36 hours straight of publicly dissecting made-for-cash-by-crooked-lawyers TV shows while labelling dissenters Agatha, and so on while epitomising what the FB folk call a Couch Colombo.
But hey. Gotta find something to do while the meth burns off.
Hey, you haven’t yet mentioned that you started your blogging career with the Melbourne Truth on your Vic 20 in 1988 for a week or so now. That’s a nice story. A nice, lean, muscular story.
About 91 kg worth.
I tend to agree.
The Pell comment in particular was disgraceful and genuinely exposed the blog to litigation IMHO.
Consider this, Fault.
Do you think he/she was flying totally straight and level until being triggered by people here … or …
Is it possible that he/she was an emotional trainwreck who was going to be set off by something or anything?
‘KD has ex wife and kids in Townsville’
You probably want to keep up with current events, 91kg.
Sinc.
Can we please have a members only thread for people who racked up a minimum of 1,000 posts at Ye Olde Blair Blogge?
FYI, I posted as “Barry from the Barossa” back then.
Melbourne University epidemiologist Tony Blakely on the ABC reckons we should tighten up the category of an essential businesses.
He thought we could do without butchers and hardware.
Looks like a leaf eater.
Soooo …
Anyone up for a chat about Dick Pussey?
You got that bit right, Struth.
Lo Lowe is a Master Manipulator of language.
You referred to people who attended Dawn Services as “patriotic”.
Lo Lowe adroitly restated that as you claimed those who didn’t were “unpatriotic”.
This then opens the door for him to argue a completely irrelevant point – all the “other” things that others might have done, that might have also been “patriotic”. However, since you never said anything about people not attending being unpatriotic, it is argument by fallacy – a completely false and misleading argument based on a completely false an misleading initial statement.
Impotent prawn tried the same thing earlier, by attributing a statement to me that I never made.
But the prawn is nowhere as good at it as Low Lowe.
There is no point in trying to argue with somebody whose apparent sole aim here appears to be to close down the blog entirely, something he has almost managed to accomplish once already.

The last time I saw my daughter on my 80th birthday, several months ago now, we talked of Vikki .
She said to me, ‘you wouldn’t just have liked her mum, you would have loved her’.
She said she’d like to get in contact with her again. I said contact her through Barnaby’s email.
I reckon she never got around to it.
You took the first swing in my absence, fvckwit – it’s there for all to see.

From The Oz
CFMMEU national secretary Michael O’Connor is refusing to quit after the union’s national executive passed a new no-confidence motion against him, imposed controls on his office and tried to dump him from the ACTU executive.
In an escalation of bitter divisions within the country’s most militant union, the CFMEU’s construction and maritime divisions used their numbers on the national executive to pass motions designed to force him out.
But Mr O’Connor, a significant figure within the ALP and brother of Labor frontbencher Brendan O’Connor, told the meeting held via Zoom that he would not be resigning.
Opponents of Mr O’Connor, who has two years to run on his term, want him dumped in favour of maritime official Chris Cain.
The no-confidence motion passed on Tuesday follows a similar motion passed in May which cemented the split between supporters of Mr O’Connor and the union’s Victorian construction division secretary, John Setka.
‘Rarely move off the Open Thread, these days?’
Rarely ever, Trevor.
I’ve actually spent the day analysing digital body language. This is really a thing, and you can use it in court.
Anyway, I have deduced, through the dark science of said digital body language that the resident haymaker-whenever-he’s-feeling-left-out has a 93.1% chance of being:
1. Pigeon-chested; and
2. A bit nervous and anxious, disguised as belligerence; and
3. Can’t drive a manual ute; AND
4. Has all the Big Bang series hidden on a terabyte thumb drive for special occasions. Like Thursdays.
Yes.
Couldn’t agree more.
Good thing Pell’s lawyers didn’t see the defamation dished out by the crazy bitch.
Only automatic cars for you, boyo.
Little red ones.
Hairdresser cars, if you will.
Cardi -we don’t go to dawn services (kids usually march in a later parade etc), but this year we got up early and joined our neighbours who put on a special effort for the street with decorations etc. We mingled and chatted and couldn’t give a rats about the rest. I don’t worship at the cenotaph – seems some people can’t go a day without remembering some random anniversary and making a big deal of it / themselves. I respect those who served. We get on with life. If you want to make a stand and do your thing at some piece of granite knock yourself out, but to label people soft or socialists because we don’t follow your orders – well I’ll be nice and not say more. I note your other comment and appreciate it.
LL started the sleuth novel stuff, retard – do keep up, or are you in Notafan obfuscation mode, just like an old Sheila?

Good evening all.
Reading this crap about Kerr and Whitlam, one would think that Whitlam wuz robbed! I was born after this event so can’t really make an informed comment but there seems to be much sorrow on the part of Labor.
IF THERE WAS TO BE A DEDICATED THREAD, AS PROPOSED.
Glorious.
‘1 litre Superbike and tour with bike Clubs’
Hahahahaaaa bahaa hahaha. Whatever, Trevor. Take your vespa stories somewhere else.
Unless, of course, you were in one of those really mean motorcycle enthusiast clubs with loud noises and such.
Up. Back.
What’s happened to the open thread?
It’s one long cryptic argument. Mostly gibberish from my perspective.
Look at the bristling ego, folks.
The Left in this country can never forgive Kerr, for sending Whitlam to the polls, and the Australia electorate, for dismissing the egoistical great puffball in a landslide.
It’s losing it now.
‘in my absence, fvckwit’
Easily reposted.’
It’s you own quote, you muscular yet lean vespa enthusiast.
That calls for an encore:
1l superbikes are automatic, right?
Never ridden a bike, I’ll bet.
A manual ute is macho, eh?
Then new 2.4L Diesel Hilux was the first, IIRC (like the Top Gear one?).

Hey, I never really got an answer to my Wiggles car question.
So.
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.
Two blokes are trying to stuff another bloke into a Little Red Car.
A truck is coming.
Not a stealth Tesla.
Powered by a diesel of some sort, and making a racket.
With 36 wheels. Also making a racket.
With a Charlie Pride CD on. Also making a racket.
And 18 x 1,000 candlepower headlights.
What do the two Wiggles do in the three minutes they can hear the truck coming?
Do they …
a. Shove the body in the ditch, casually light up a Viscount and wave the truckie through?
Or
b. Stand there like stunned mullets holding up Dead Pete like a promo shot from Weekend at Bernies?
Apparently the answer is “b”.
*What a hypocrite, how embarassment.
Apologies, the rest of you. This is piss funny.
‘Never ridden a bike’ ‘the 2.4L’
Oh My God. The estrogen’s overloaded and bubbling out his ears.
Ten minutes tops till she says ‘hairy chest’.
Did you ever apologise for your plagiarism?
Up. Back. Up. Back.
Speaking of living in the past, “fuckwit” hasn’t been spelt “fvckwit” since Roman times.
Oh, right. I apologise.
I was going to plagiarise a vespa fan’s ‘hard man in the front bar’ comment earlier on, but I didn’t.
But in my mind I did, and then laughed to myself.

So, how many crunches are allowed between 1st and 2nd before you get drummed out of the Manual Ute Club.
“Little rcd car” was the truckies literal description.
The posturing about utes is a little sad.
A Mini Moke is a “clown car” verging on a hairdresser’s offroader.
*Ooh ahh – you sound like Jeannie Little.
‘The posturing about utes is a little sad.’
And yet:
‘2.4L Hilux diesel’
Hey vespa girl. Check your email. Snork.
That explains the last hour’s comments.
Sad.
Three?
Or four?
In all the excitement I kind of lost count.
But here’s what you need to ask yourself.
Is it a conspiracy or, dare I say it … a “Pile On”?
Or is it just 3 (or 4) people having a jolly good pisstake?
Or could it be ‘roid paranoia?
Some of you are displaying symptoms of lockdown syndrome.
Reckon there might be a few of us Dave of Marybrook! This place is where the cool kids hang out, or so I’ve been told 😂
Just think.
If you were 91kg AFTER you started on the hair loss and sultana nut pills, you’d have to have been a jockey or something to start with. Little person, anyway.
But just right for a little red car. Or vespa or be in a ‘bike Club’. Snort.
Ours was an 80-81.
I don’t think (2.2L) Diesel Hiluxes came in autos in that era, to anyone with a modicum of knowledge.

The doubt the High Court found in the Pell case came not just from the inherent implausibility of the charges, but from the unchallenged exculpatory evidence of more than twenty other witnesses. There was nothing like that in the Canberra case. Typical ABC dishonesty.
And they aren’t even in lockdown.
Heads up. Never ever buy a Weber.

And in when a bungle isn’t a bungle news, from the Hun:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologised on Tuesday for not recusing himself from discussions about a Government contract to a charity that had paid his family big sums of money for speaking appearances.
“I made a mistake not recusing myself immediately from the discussions, given our family’s history. And I am sincerely sorry. Mr Trudeau said.
His apology came amid Opposition demands for a probe into a $C900m ($947m) contract awarded by the government to development and advocacy organisation WE Charity.
The episode is under investigation by the country’s watchdog.
What’s the bet this blackface wearing idiot she’d just the one tear, which would have made the media, both men and ladies all agog and moist in the pantaloons? And I love how it’s dismissively waved away as a bungle. FMD

What are they smoking?
I accidentally my family millions of dollars…and what sort of “charity” gets that sort of government dough forced down its throat like a cross between a force fed goose and Mr Ceosote?
Okay. Farter. I’m determined to finish Sir Max Hastings’ ‘Vietnam’ by the end of the week.
But first, a sincere apology. I haven’t watched the TV show, and I’ve listened to all sorts of:
‘Murdoch likely went here’
‘Murdoch probably’
‘we can’t rule out Murdoch’ (h/t LL)
‘better than average chance Murdoch’
I’ve only just realised it was Bradley Murdoch. All this time I thought we were talking about Rupert.
Reliable and cheap electricity, so last century:
‘I’m about 6’1″.
That was when I was cycling 400 km a week, lean body mass.’
Oh my God. I can’t even.
I never thought I’d say this, but Vietnam beckons. Toodle-pip, y’all.
Look, for anyone else still suffering cognitive dissonance about Anzac Day, here’s a questionnaire.
When you attend a cenotaph at dawn on Anzac Day are you there solely to show your respects to our fallen? Yes or no?
Were you prevented from making a trip to the cenotaph by fears of XiFlu? Yes or no?
Did socialists scare you about XiFlu? Yes or no?
If you answered yes to all then you’re likely experiencing the mental anguish of CD.
i.e.
“No socialist could ever trick me out of showing my respects to our fallen at their memorial on Anzac Day!” plus “I stood in my driveway because socialists said I had to and I might get sick and die if I didn’t listen to them and obey them” equals pain in the brain.
I didn’t put that pain there.
Socialists did.
With your permission.

Weber traditionally buys media placements with networks rather than individual shows. However, in light of the feedback we have received, we are changing this policy to only advertise on shows that are aligned with our values. Thank you for your feedback–we will do better.
Well that’s a surprise. Who could have guessed that the US backyard grill community were social justice worriers?
Fox should really promote this amongst its audience and get some real action against these fuckers. None of the products these sleeping midgets target are used by the sjws; and sjw products don’t advertise on Fox anyway. These corporations that cave need a hot poker up the clacker.

Early 850 Le Mans was and still is a sublime piece of equipment. The round barrel Guzzis are appreciating in value and highly sought-after. Bullet proof. Reliable. Easy to maintain. Surprisingly quick for such ancient technology. The Vee twin motor and shaft drive isn’t everyone’s preference but they have a loyal band of passionate Guzzistis.
I bought a new 1000 Le Mans in 1989. Still ride it. Rode it over 100 km today. It’s been around the clock and should go a couple more times around the clock before any spanner work is necessary.
Also have a small block V7 Cafe Classic from 2010. Sweet little unit. Great Bike in traffic. I’ve done about 60k on that one.
My fave is my just-completed 1976 850 T3. It is the touring version of the Le Mans. Full restoration. Only done about 500 km on it. Rides like a dream. Next project is to ride it around the clock a few times.
Yup, only manuals in the old days.
Bugger. I already bought a Weber years ago, and it’s still going.
