Sat Mat one

 

Mixed feelings about this episode, as did quite a few reviewers/commenters. I always felt that Barry Foster and fellow cast to be OTT in the reactions, gestures anyway and in this one, they made the new character, his son the special policeman, into a right prat … particularly when an old lady is brought down a ladder at a burning building and he starts yelling up at them, then she’s lying on the ground, a mess, and he wants to interview her. Whaa?

There was another episode where VderV is playing piano front and square … whereas he’s not, and it’s annoying. It’s a case of how much do such incidents annoy … enough to stop us watching? Yet if one does keep watching, it seems to redeem itself and there’s some good acting, good plot development. A mixed bag, I keep thinking.

Well well well … turned out not bad, I’d forgotten. Corrupt politician, married, cheating with gay lover … anyone we know? Wife falls for young man. Uh huh. 7.5/10.

Saturday [6 to 10]

10. Moo corner


9. IYE corner

Saturday 1 to 5 has two IYE’s I was ready to run here … until going through them. Gaza was Philistia for so long, not Edom nor other similar. Sea people origin. Urls are still in place, just as War Room is over at NOWP.

8. The humble hoody

Horses for courses of course in outerwear … I had a range in each country I was in … very quickly adopted the sort of wear the natives did … once back here, the most effective flu-preventive device I ever bought two of was:


Zipped jackets are ok but not as good imho as the three button “polo type” with hood, have one on right now.

7. Meningitis B


6. Steve corner

I’m chuffed, I called this over a month ago – matching weapons platforms to target types fell within the scope of my job as a combined-arms forward observer: mortars, artillery, naval gunfire and close-air support. Here’s General Dan “Razen” Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff speaking yesterday (cued up):

A second Marine Expeditionary Unit is on it’s way to the Gulf – the 11th MEU is onboard the amphibious warship USS Boxer (LHD-4). Methinks they will join the 31st MEU in theatre to take out the enemy, circled below:

Just a song

 

I’ve never been just pro male, never been just pro female … it’s always been male plus female together, finding a path, a way forward, both today needing to pull their big heads in and find that path forward. Even as a sigma.

Saturday [1 to 5]

(0602) Morning all as the red sky to the south-east adds colour to the poisonous cloud sky. (0629)

 

5. Just a reminder for any who may have missed it


It’s good that a rowdy crowd of bottom feeders acted as they did before world cameras and pundits, both inside the arms cache building and outside, both before and after.

Before … Albanese was surrounded by a dozen or more bodyguards … so he’s well aware how Aussies view him … and then he went into the terrorist centre for the photo op and the bottom feeders did the rest … it could not have been better choreographed for forces opposed to massed invasion.

Meanwhile, as many online are aware, an AI NettheYahoo, the one who had shut off the Iron Dome the morning of October 7th, 2023, and who had died on March 8th, 2026, was trotted out by hardliners in charge, using a speech which NettheYahoo had quoted from some figure years ago:


The globopsycho Wokerati urge: “Let’s get this global conflagration going asap.”

a) Major win for privacy? EU chat control hits wall … European Union lawmakers have moved to block untargeted mass scanning of private communications, a practice that would have allowed authorities to screen messages of individuals not suspected of any wrongdoing.

b) Trading Standards officers in Dudley documented multiple cases where mini-marts became hubs for exploitation. One officer, Kuldeep Maan, stated: “The information we were getting is that children were coming to this area and were given free cigarettes, free alcohol, in return for sexual favours.”….

c) The home port for Britain’s entire nuclear submarine force was visited by an Iranian male and a female companion, who were both arrested at the scene, on Thursday afternoon amid heightened spying fears over the conflict in the Middle East….

d) On the occasion of the International Day Against Islamophobia, UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged governments to adopt concrete measures to protect Muslims. But he overlooked two facts….

e) Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for the Cuban communist regime now on the brink of collapse after its Venezuelan oil supplies were cut off, there’s a surprise from the United Kingdom. One Jeremy Corbyn is on his way….

15. March 20th, 2026, at 1446 GMT, oo ah!

A French version of one of these festivals, who knows which one and no … I’m not endorsing it, pretty tune though:

14. State of play in 2026 … three


“Saw”? The state of education downunder right now.

13. State of play in 2026 … three

12. Fitness trackers on?


11. Following on from Fri 6

That was why Carrie Before-Jean went RC, with Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and the Bartholomew’s Day massackers, the Borgias, the sun and Mary worship, the indulgences scam Chaucer wrote about, Torquamada et al. How about the Orthodox, the One True Church according to them, with us heretic apostacists dissenting?

All right, how about the Calvinists, burning Savanarola at the stake? How about The Crucible?

In short, you can keep your formalists, pageantry and ritual fetishists, the gobbledegook … please give me a learned scholar among the laity for pointers in understanding. And as for Theocracy? Bye bye.

As for Christendom? Ah … that’s another matter altogether, that’s all sorts of heritage wrapped up in there. /END.

Spring festival is it?

 

Toodles got a tad annoyed I was mixing my festivals up, calling today’s in her town “pagan” and awful. They have theirs today for some reason … maybe she can send some pics. Actually, I was thinking of the Carnivale thing … you know, Rio, Brazil etc. Naked wimmin.

I did go to one of these spring things over in California, by the beach, not far from Nixonian Dana Point … actually, it was summer … it was nice, plenty of tents in the main street, they had the remnant of The Drifters singing and shufflling … the organisers had a liposuction tent too of all things … The Drifters were very good, plenty of razmatazz going on.

Below is one in Florida … the Americans sure know how to put on a show. What make of violin were they playing, did you notice?
