Liberty Quote
The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.

This is surprising.
Who would have thought that fifty closeteers* exchanging bodily fluids in a toilet block would lead to that?
.
* “bi-sexual” … come on, man, they’re gay.
This is a cover story. “One of the bi’s caught off a chick”.
Ooooh.
Very tasteful page topper.

1. Amazing how many telegraph wires were strung around US cities in the ’20’s and ’30’s.
2. These days, Babe Ruth would be chucked out of most sports draft camps on day 1 for being too chubby.

Hey, JC, I see one of the left’s corporate darlings, David Gonski, is about to be appointed chairman of the Sydney Airport monopoly, which sends you a fat quarterly cheque for price-gouging its users. What do the Chicoms call it? Guanxi.
Ross Greenwood is interviewing him on Sky’s Weekend Business at 11am on Sunday.

You should feel good about it. They stopped paying divs after the 2020 February one. 🙂 They’re ok though and can go on for ever because the domestic side of the business is roughly at 50% capacity and they’re breaking-even pretty much on a operating basis.
Gonski is such a swamper… But if we need a swamper as chairman, you can’t do better than him. 🙂
Seriously, you worry about tail risk. Who the fuck would have guessed the china bug, hey?
If they manage to get off the ground this and next year along with interest rates remaining where they are, the stock is heading to 12 buck plus a share.
Nice Opera House you got there, Sydney.

Granted, he didn’t get a lot of practice. He must have had very small feet. I thought it was Ruth who was nicknamed “Twinkletoes” as a result but it was actually his successor at the Yankees, George Selkirk.
The Babe didn’t start his career as a fatso. He was quite slim early on, when primarily a pitcher:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/fc/11/effc11d87efe566a66bc922c48b7e17a.jpg
And sheer mass has never been held against any batter who can hit. Witness Cecil “Big Daddy” Fielder.
His son, Prince Fielder, was also no sylph.
No, because it will happen with those two things happening.
1/ I’m not in the least worried about monetary policy because I think the world is moving to a new regime where higher inflation will be tolerated as a result of looser monetary policy. I think the RBA will plod along and follow this.
2/ Opening up is the problematic factor in my mind. Are we going to get a decent grip on this bug? More than likely but there is a big risk.
12 bucks plus if this happens.
If you are whacking it out of the park and taking a casual stroll around the diamond, no-one cares about your running style.
Taking a long view JC, it is decidedly under-cooked at $6.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think these “instalment pay” stocks (Afterpay etc) are grossly over-valued.
The business model is nothing fantastic.
No, that is multiple oxymorons!
In any event, I have finished starching and ironing the boxers and sox, deciding on the appropriate accoutrements, dressed in my very best inner-city hipster clobber (the better to remain undetected) and (once I’ve finished feeding the ageing schnauzer), shall sally forth to brave the rigours of a Cat function.
A warning to those attending… SWMBO will also be in attendance. So behave. Any repeat of the [stop that – Sinc].
Have fun, Melbourne Cats and Kittehs.
Today has been a tough day saying goodbye to a much loved one. But also wonderful – people I haven’t seen for forty years there to pay their respects to a great bloke. Kids from the past now grown old and grey just like me. 😀

Opening up is the problematic factor in my mind. Are we going to get a decent grip on this bug? More than likely but there is a big risk.
It’s not this bug we have to worry about, it’s the next one.
I love those old photos JC. I imagine what the people in them were like, how they lived. The next set was great too. The Vickers factory and building a bi-plane, factory girls making radio sets. Good stuff.
Eww!
But yes, “bisexual” is usually a ploy to get straights invested (“Invested”? “Taxed” in reality) in the over-amplified concerns of a tiny minority within a minority.

Anyone get a load of this gobbledygook from News.com? I have had a crap 48 hours and am a tad crabby, yup working late because of others stupidity is grating.
So what did Scomo get agreed to? I am really curious. Seems WA & Qld have reserved the right to still shut borders at a whim. Venues can now go to 2sq m per person, wow big win. Oh, but stadiums can now fill. Nothing else by the looks. So in essence he got more concessions for sport which IMO have had way too much already but must keep those circuses in action…

Calli – who doesn’t love a woman on the tools? Preferably while you’re watching the cricket.
I see the propaganda arm of the Australian democratic People’s Republic (MSM) has suddenly found deep dive statistics and data analysis in it’s frantic efforts to convince us that the wonder drug to save us all from the deadly China Virus- AZ – is actually really safe while they dramatically limit it’s deployment. After just a day ago rigorously backing it’s absolute safety, urging everyone to DON”T PANIC!
How good we have such competent people running the show for us.
Loose credit usually works well. Until it doesn’t.

Thanks Tinta. We all had a wonderful catch-up at the “wake” (read lunch/afternoon tea). Which is the whole point really – many…many old stories of derring-do relived by the fellas. As for the one who is gone – those who are hidden with Christ in God never die.
There were a couple of fuse failures and some opined that our beloved brother, an electrical engineer, was having the last laugh.
But it was just a dodgy kettle.

Low income earners shouldn’t be excluded from credit.
If they meet their obligations they incur no fees or charges, which is a definite plus in their situation.
If they don’t, financial penalties do apply but they are limited, unlike credit cards.
It’s the market providing a solution to a need.
I say let it run and watch for problems.

And so here we are sitting on the bed and we got to the point where we started to get busy…[pause] … if you know what I mean. things were going great when all of the sudden I noticed some gray, shiny duct-tape hanging out of the side of her jeans. She had on them low waist designer types on and the tape was just sticking out a little bit.
Well …[pause] … nothing at first. I was not really focused on it at first, ya know?. But after a while that duct tape was making me curious and so I pulled on it and laughed. I was trying to be romantic and have some fun.
Well she didn’t like that at all and stopped In her tracks. She was kind of surprised I did that I guess. And then real quick like she shoved the tape back in her jeans like she was trying to hide it.
That kind of freaked me out a little bit and so I got up and asked her what was wrong. That’s when she told me.
She said that she was “pre-op” [pre-operation] or some BS. I didn’t know what she was talking about at first because I was so confused …[pause]…anybody would be.
She spent a few minutes trying to explain it all to me but I think I was mentally checked out. It took me a few minutes for it to all sink in. Then she …[pause]… I mean he wanted to keep doing it!
I was so upset that I started to go after him. I think I would probably have seriously messed him up. I never got the chance because he screamed like a banshee and tore off out of the room. He left behind a piece of that fricking tape too. I still have it as a way of remembering what happened.
Good grief! That’s why you always hold hands on a first date. And a brief kiss on the cheek.

An illegal alien was arrested this month after having fled to Canada following the murder of his newborn son, who was found buried in the backyard of a home in the sanctuary state of California in 2019.
Bakhshinderpal Singh Mann, a 23-year-old illegal alien, was arrested in Canada and will be extradited to Kern County, California, as he faces statutory [email protected] charges and accessory to murder charges in connection to the murder of his newborn son.
Mann arrived illegally in the United States sometime before 2018 and was given a GPS ankle monitor by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The ankle monitor system is one of a few Alternatives to Detention (ATDs) used by federal immigration officials where illegal aliens are released into the U.S. interior rather than remaining in federal custody.
According to police, Mann had a sexual relationship with his then-14-year-old cousin and got her pregnant. At the age of 15, the girl gave birth to a baby boy who was soon after murdered by his grandmother who is now serving a life sentence.
Why didn’t he escape to India?
The grandmother, police said, admitted to them in interviews that she drowned the baby to death to “prevent family shame” in their Sikh community in Bakersfield, California.
The child’s remains were discovered in the family’s backyard in February 2019. Since then, investigators had been looking for Mann — who allegedly tore off his ankle monitor. Investigators say Mann fled to Canada to evade arrest and charges in the case.

in the book, A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal, there is a prayer called “Prayer of a Weary Black Woman”
Dear God,
Please help me to hate white people. Or at least to want to hate them. At least, I want to stop caring about them, individually and collectively. I want to stop caring about their misguided, racist souls, to stop believing that they can be better, that they can stop being racist.

Arky, I spent some of the mid to late fifties hanging out at the wrecking yard of my Big Sis’s first husband. They lived on site in an old ruin of a place. Oh the tales I could tell. 😀
The cars. There were some extraordinary old vintage cars coming in from the local farms still there in the outer western suburbs in those days. I loved them, love to ride in them and try to drive some. It was a good business, but rough, rough as guts out there.

the Hungarian minister for families:
People on the site are asking how they reversed the population slide – fairly simple, they stopped taxing the families out of existence and made it worthwhile for people to do what comes naturally – Dad works and supports the family, and mum has the children and raises the kids with dad in a stable social environment.
It’s not bloody rocket science.

To whomever raised the story about the clap over the page. You may have given me a real brainstorm of an idea for a business opportunity.
If it works I owe you a beer.
Got to pitch it to head office next week.
Innovative
Agile
Sustainable!
I’ll do my Phil the Greek story again….
Prince Phil story. I was his ADC once. That is the high point. All gets less fantastic now.
He was visiting Australia, and I was a junior naval officer and an Aide De Camp to a vice-regal officeholder, His Honour the Administrator of the Northern Territory.
HRH’s real ADC had to be away doing something for two days, and a few ceremonies were in the offing, so I got loaned for the occasion. We had some very long and fine conversations. The first thing he said to me, from memory, was “Good morning sub-lieutenant”. The second was: “Very good” when I told him the parade he was viewing was about to turn the corner (I had a radio), and the third was “Thank you for your service” when I said good bye.
The best bit was when a veteran left the ranks – it was Anzac Day – and trotted over to the dais and held his hand out. HRH merely said “Good morning to you” and the vet returned to his section to the laughter of all.
A true officer and a gentleman, and let us not forget his brave service in the Royal Navy in World War II.
I’d say the idea might go viral.
But that would be bad taste.
And I’d never stoop so high as that.
I’m almost dreading the celebrations over at the gruinaid at Phils death.
Anyone got the stomach to check Van Fathams or clementines tweets?
Phil the Greek? What?
Bloody hell.
So we’ll never know whether he gets a card from the Queen?
Story goes that a certain R.A.A.F. officer was appointed an A.D.C. to the Queen. Resplendent in his regalia, complete with sword, he was present at a social do.
An elderly dowager tottered forth, looking about herself. A footman leapt forward.
“May I be of service to your ladyship?”
“Thank you” was her reply.”I’m looking for the nice young man, with the sword. I’ve just dropped my tiara down the ladies loo, and I was wondering if he could fish it out for me.”
Wasn’t quite how he envisaged the duties of an A.D.C. to the Queen….
Couldn’t be a greater contrast.
Arsewipe v Patriot.
Wasn’t quite how he envisaged the duties of an A.D.C. to the Queen….
In my ADC time Zulu, I was told to assist a very well-known public female figure up the gangway of one of HM ships, by place my hands on her derriere and push.
I just looked at that movie Midway.
What revisionist claptrap.
First, all the Americans were white. There were no Asians or aborigines other marginalised minorities amongst them. What nonsense! At the same time all the Japanese were Asian. No whites. I suppose you can’t have white people as losers.
Then they make it look like the reasons the Americans prevailed was because of a resilience and a tactical advantage. Instead of systemic racism and white privilege which was the real reason.
It made me sick.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has told citizens to prepare for hard times ahead, following warnings from rights groups that the country faces dire food shortages and economic instability.
The implication no doubt being, that it is the moral duty of other countries to help this fat pariah remain on his feet.

He’s a beaut.
Hanging with him on my way home. Such a sweetheart
The Doolittles were the last standing.
God bless them
Ms Doolittle is bad ass
Dr Doolittle is no slouch either.
But I’ll kick his ass at rowing.
Keen to know if anyone was wearing duct tape as part of their outfit.
Disappointing
Only Gunner with the medicinal cigarettes
Have to improve for next time.
I’m literally sitting in the gutter, playing with a 3 pegged cat.
Pyratelyfe
Confirmed.
The Doolittles spiked your drink with something out of the locked cabinet.
Now, getting healthy is unhealthy!!

Yep.
The Ranga will be whingeing about “being forced into exile” and “being denied a final moment to farewell his beloved grandpa”.
Tequila= White Supremacy!
I’m the only guy on Earth rolling a MAGA hat.
Can a hat get you laid with nubile young lassies?
Hehe
You’d better believe
Only one Cat was tuning the young hotties.
Natch
Someone prove me wrong?!
😘😎😎😎
Or, better still, confirm😎
Mine wife has deep-six’ed my MAGA hat
Now I know why, Gunner
Only the cream of the Cats were in attendance. They looked resplendent in their team uniforms.
Can Tailgunner live up to his glorious highlight of blogging his way home at 4 in the morning, with updates every 15 minutes?
A resplendent moment!
Buttoned up cardigans?
Tweed jackets with elbow patches?
No working class cloth caps I hope.
Pussay is pussay
Good memories for you Top Ender.
Shudder. No, balsamic and Himalayan scented candles helped
He had a very distinguished naval career at a time when serving on a war ship was a very dangerous business indeed.
Vale to a great man.
Great night at the local with other Cats . It was my first time so enjoyed meeting other posters However my one complaint , I had a lot of trouble with real names and post names as too many to remember .
As for dress , typical pub gear , no stilettos no jeans and no diamond earrings.
I caught up with Ms Doolittle and hubby again who came to an event I organised a couple of years ago . He has written 40 pages about Christian Porter and pointed out one anachronistic mistake made by the complainant in describing sexual activities that teenagers in 1988 would not have known about , in fact more telling than the Hard Rock Cafe mistake .

The late Prince Phillip on cats (from the other fred):-
Over to you TG.
Only because some dude sent his girlfriend over to tell you that he took offence to the MAGA hat.
Quite telling of the next generation of young blokes. Send your girlfriend to deliver your feelings about a perceived micro aggression.
Despite being as welcome as a pork chop in a musque, there will be hints about racism, micro aggression, mean looks, etc etc

Min, it was nice meeting you.
It would be interesting to know what that was.

She was girl next door cute though.

During his last visit to Australia in 2011, Prince Philip visited SASR and presented the beret to those members who had just passed the selection course.
He made a great day for those soldiers even more memorable. A very popular bloke in the regiment.
Some history of his fondness for the NT Top Ender……(from the Hun)
PRINCE Philip visited Australia 32 times during his royal career – 16 times on solo trips without the Queen. At least eight of those times he headed to the Northern Territory.
The prince, who has died in London aged 99, was a frequent visitor to our shores, sometimes spending months here, and occasionally taking a few days off to enjoy sporting events, and the NT was a popular spot. He first visited the NT in November 1956 after opening the Melbourne Olympics.
He returned with the Queen in early 1963, and again solo in 1968.
The Queen and Prince Philip returned to Darwin nine months before Cyclone Tracy destroyed the city in 1974. The couple hosted a dinner on board HMY Brittania.
The Queen and Prince Philip returned to the Territory in March 1977 as part of a 23-day Australian tour.
The XII Commonwealth Games in Brisbane drew the Queen and Prince Philip back Down Under and saw them extend their tour to include other Australian states and the NT in October 1982.

The pair took a trip to Darwin’s Gardens Oval, Smith St Mall and officially opened the new Navy base.
Prince Philip made another trip to the NT with the Duke of Westminster, to officially open the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth reception at Government House in April 1998.
His Royal Highness and the Queen returned to the Territory for the last time in 2000, where they went to Alice Springs and walked through Todd Mall.
Ditto.
Socialising.
What a fucking chore.

I mean the 20y/O smokeshow in the Tigers scarf.
The one I promised the world’s best cuppa tea to!
Fk. She was insane.
🤣🤣
Middle aged Gunner..
Hehe
Really?
Man, I missed that.
6 tops
Fair.
But she’d come camping. And look fabulous in her underwear.
It’s a big win for some.
😃
Lot of tall bastards there too.
Bloody off putting.
Have the decency to at least slouch a bit.
Just after you left.
Couldn’t hear half of what everyone was saying most of the time, because there was some football game on and people carry on like idiots cheering and so forth.
I think I got away with just looking interested most of the time and launching into the odd tirade over what the topic might have been.
Don’t think anyone noticed.
Only because some dude sent his girlfriend over to tell you that he took offence to the MAGA hat.
Hehehehe
She came of her own volition.
#Metoo?
🤣🤣
MAGA hat game, recognized

It’s hard to do when sitting down.
Didn’t want to fall off the chair.
Are you shitting me?
That sort of thing gives betas a bad name.
When did that happen? Missed it completely.
gives betas a bad name.
She was well up.
Boyfriend?
Lol.
But the other Cats cockblocked me badly.
Can’t wait for the Toowoomba drinks session.
As long as my safety can be assured.
But the other Cats cockblocked me badly.
I was talking to the boyfriend.
Didn’t realise you were after him!!
Especially the one who told her she didn’t know shit. Nicely, of course, we always bring our manners with us.
It was hilarious that she was from Toowoomba…you should thank us for protecting you from getting involved from someone who once breathed the same air as the Numerical Nitwit.
I was talking to the boyfriend.
I didn’t even see him? I knew he was there though.
Cucked before the Cat?
Dude…
👍👍😃😃
Sorry I didn’t make it. Had to work. Was sinc there?
told her she didn’t know shit
Exactly.
You can’t scare the horses like that.
Cockblocked
Only in spirit.
It was hilarious that she was from Toowoomba
Lol.
I’m sure I asked her if she was a member of the Miata club up there!
🤣🤣
Held at the local R.S.L?
You hid it well.
That’s a missed opportunity. Should have bought her a drink and got her to leave with you.
Or even pretend to leave with you!
Well played, Gunner!
.
Shhhhhhhhhhh.
What’s all this about some girl and her boyfriend?
I’m the only single guy that posts here.
Prove me wrong.
😃
It seems like Gunner prefers a three-legged cat.
A big thank you to Mater for herding us together.
A great night.
Great people.
do you even like, have to focus the laser beams ?
I think you’re giving him more credit than he deserves.
Is Anne single?
And cute?
..
Which one were you again?
Which one were you again?
The tall one.
Welcome.
We’ll go more up market next time. Gunner can have a crack at a women NOT wearing a beanie.
it was an absolute delight to meet new faces, and old faces again.
your collective problem : too normal
please don’t stop
bought her a drink
No,no,no.
Flip the script.
Make her buy you a drink.
Watch how pissed off she is when handling over a 20.
Priceless
Game 303
..
That narrows it down as much as telling me that TG was after the fat arsed girl.

Wealthy dowagers?
Probably the high percentage play for me.
I’m in.
Yeah, great stuff Mater.
Thank you.
Everyone loved it.
And Mark 👍
Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. Quite brilliant
Toowoomba has some sort of Army base I was once made to go to.
We arrived in the middle of the night to find no bedding.

Two leading paragraphs in The Oz:
1. The EU’s drug regulator has launched a review of possible links between the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine and blood clots after reports of four cases, one of them fatal.
2. Stay calm, and keep getting the jab, says Scott Morrison.
And not a cartoonist in sight.
yes, thanks Mater and Mark
noice
Probably still in Vietnam.
Things from Toowoomba seem to have been stuck in Vietnam for the last 50 years.
do you like dags?
Yep, I’ll admit I enjoyed tonight.
But on the drive home I couldn’t help but think of some Soviet sailors I saw in a pub in Lyttleton in the 1980s.
They were huddled around a table drinking their beers and talking in low voices, looking around like they expected a hand on the shoulder at any time.
This is now us.
Clandestine meetings in pubs, arranged in secret. Fake names. A public persona and a private one.
It’s a bloody shame what we have become.
Toowoomba had some sort of military base, a convoy I was part of , was made to go there. The duty officer was steaming drunk, in civvies, and we ended up staying in a motel in town.
Seconded. An excellent night if you don’t count the table of rabid Richmond ratbags hoping against hope and making a lot of noise about it.

Welcome to the revolution, mofo.

Fake personas? You mean the meerkat with the pipe and the eye patch wasn’t Arky?
Since when did free men have to take “sensible precautions” least their views became public knowledge?
Since when did men going about their legitimate and perfectly legal business have to worry about being “doxxed”?
..
You will find my real face and pipe in the vids.
And my colleagues, when I worked with regularity got to read my posts on Catallaxy, because I’d show them, specially the ones about Trump in 2016.

Because we’re about to have to do some illegal/seditious shit.
Camoflauge is standard.
New Fred.

Well don’t tell me about it, because I’ll dob your arse in.
you and I had a discussion on the balcony (about stuff) and the millennial were there.
we kinda gave zero fucks
and those young fellas dint have a clue they were being schooled
some times you show.
sometimes you say
Now he tells us…
Sorry Josh.
We all got familiar in the way that your name was pronounced because of the way you enunciated it…
You were Josh ‘pah-pa-lee’ in that extremely irritating radio ad you did for pizza in the ACT a decade ago.*
I’m always ready to back a bloke from Woodridge State High.
But fuck your hypocrisy Josh.
(*Think the really high pitched Mike Tyson voice without the lisp)
Those honest left-leaning types need to be convinced not to associate with the dishonest ones lest they become one of them.
Actionable.
I have a snapshot if the police are interested.
Remember old mate who died from polonium poisoning in Salisbury or wherever? There’s a doco now on 9Gem. Be warned, it’s like Liz Hayes blaming Ivan Milat
Antibiotic resistant syphilis is the dirty little secret of the gay community, as now that HIV/Aids no longer a problem, they have reverted to their pre 1980’s modus operandi.
Duncanm:
There’s a slight chance young Harry may just realise what he has on his hands as it goes down the “Oh woe is me.” path.
I reckon I’m an optimist.

Gunner:
You be wrong, boy.
Has any pining started?
