(1648). Time to start the evening gruel. Keep an eye on Thurs 20 developments. (2124) Full moon up high, just watching the inhabitants through binoculars.

 

23. We won’t see the like again

… methinks there are tavern regulars who think “good thing too”, preferring classical or jazz solely … this item is for those with broader tastes, with a sense of songs in a time and place more innocent, more simple ditties which lay no claim to being great music but still gave great enjoyment in places like pubs … pub rock in other words.

Over here … Dr. Feelgood, Ducks Deluxe, Ian Dury, Graham Parker … this was the world centre for the genre … but it was also big downunder on both sides of the Tasman … it was for people who liked a pint and a good band for a small cover charge. We used to eat elsewhere, less crowded, then rock on over to the venue, often by the “wivva” if over here, often in Carlton if in Melbourne … the bands here knew the downunder scene, downunder knew here … don’t forget I was a DJ at the time at alt radio stations.

This band below were from Sydney town but I caught them with my mate at a pub in North Melbourne, usual set-up. We already knew them from the radio and the one I liked best was the keyboardist “Greedy” Smith … I wondered why until I met him during a break between sets … nice guy but he loved his food. As we got talking, his plate turned on an angle and his food went over him. There’s a good Oz word, old fashioned now, for someone a bit “laddish” without bad attitude, more happy go lucky … not a “yob”, not a “hooligan” … they’re too negative … the word I need is “larrikin” … well Greedy was like that, a bit “dorky”.

The music? Simple, based around simple riffs, great for a pub scene:

22. Moosh corner

Call it narcissistic but I do look at such things to see which might have been lil ole me … in this case, the first lil guy, but with better trousers … possibly n4.

21. Of fires, floods, vulnerable people

… and resources to be exploited below their homes.

20. Toodles sends this on the Obama Biden meeting

Only a link as I don’t wish to see their faces … HERE.

However, there’ve been developments:

The New York Post hired a professional lip reader to analyze this interaction yesterday at Ethel Kennedy’s memorial between Barack Obama and Joe Biden. BIDEN: “She’s not as strong as me.” OBAMA: “I know… that’s true. We have time.”

🍿🍿🍿 This has every chance of helping Obama being arrested after January. 🍿🍿🍿

Quite a strange film … Joanna Dunham made me choose it.

12. Microdave is away on a secret medical mission

… but he was still able to send this:

11. Elon with the question I was asking

… or vice-versa … or maybe you were the one asking it:

10. Rolf Norfolk has the local news up (Brit politics)

The Starmernaut continues to roll over the Opposition. Sir Keir is hardly trying: he repeated his ‘14 years’ reference to the Tories’ failures at least three times in this session, though when he wheeled out the old ‘22 billion black hole’ shtick there was a general groan from the benches opposite.

Parliament may soon tire of his arrogance and habit of resorting to counterattack instead of reasoning. When Rishi Sunak spoke of China’s influence in British universities and deplored the Education Secretary’s block on last year’s Freedom of Speech Act Starmer simply swatted it away as ‘political point scoring’; even the BBC roused itself to highlight that one on Twitter/X.

9. Mark the Skint Sailor at OoL on THAT issue

The answer to the trans issue can be summed up in three words: Lose the Penis. Then most of the issues especially regarding the idiocy that is self-identification fall away.

Society tends to have a limit where it’s generally accepted there is consensus on an issue.. Going against the consensus or being radical causes problems. It is definitely not stunning or brave. If you could only be considered as female if you had surgery (as used to be the case) then the issue of r@pe in female prisons, or penises in female changing rooms disappears.

The radical step of self-identification without doing anything else just reduces the concept of a woman down to looks, when it is far, far more complex. I note that transitioning the other way doesn’t create as many problems, is that just a male narcissist thing?

A few things came out of a mass of recommended YTs of late and the first is that so many females utterly fail to ustd the male and vice-versa. Females are on about putting out signals and males, being the emotional retards we are, fail to take hints.

I think, whilst that may hold some water … there’s more … if a male approaches, in this society now, it can only be for nooky in the minds of most … plus if he reads it wrong, the whole weight of state and law is down on him … these days, she has to be far more direct about what she wants … plus most women are worthless today by replacing love and courtship with THOTting or serial relationships (the Swift brand of satanism). The concept of saying NO until married and, “I would never take you to the cleaners, ever, unless you get violent,” is not in the modern female’s vocabulary.

Thus males avoid entanglement when nooky is on tap at any bar or club.

8. It takes a woman to really take down another woman

7. More snippets

a. Darl Pattison: Uh oh hope Kamala doesnt put a spell or hex on Brett. Real questions and usual non answers always blaming Trump while she’s been in office 4 years now.

b. Vigilant Fox: Kamala Harris Falls Apart in Train-Wreck Fox News Interview … (Harris) thought she was ready for Bret Baier—she was wrong. Two moments in particular were especially humiliating.

c. Rupert Lowe (Reform): (Fuel duty hike?) This is absolute madness – Reeves is going to suffocate our economy. The ONLY way to create real and sustainable growth is to slash tax and return power to the individual. Socialist central planning will always fail.

d. Charlie Kirk: Baier to Harris: “Your campaign slogan is a new way forward and it’s time to turn the page. You’ve been Vice President for 3.5 years. What are you turning the page from?” Excellent.

e. Lee Harris: It’s been revealed that Labour MP Peter Kyle received, wait for it… free Taylor Swift tickets. The reason we didn’t know about this bribe—sorry, ‘freebie’—until now is because he, just like Starmer, broke the rules by failing to declare it.

6. Lil ole me comments on three things from the previous post

Thurs 5a: Monster Jackboot: What gall by the cow … she deserves the hangman’s noose.

4a: Polish Owl: Breakdown of Laura Norder, innit? Remember Myleene Klaas? “

Myleene Klass warned after brandishing knife to deter intruders | Crime

10 Jan 2010 — Police tell TV presenter she was acting illegally in waving kitchen knife at youths who were peering in window late at night.

Utter bollox of the Guardian, typical fake MSM … disinformation as a matter of fact. The three or two climbed over the back fence, well aware a single woman with child was in there, a celeb. She brandished a knife … they certainly arrested her and nothing was done to find the scrots. And it’s the old question … what would you do? And how safe is it for any women now, let alone leftist? And who’s to blame for the way it is now?

Evets 3 quoted at HQ: A District Court Opinion Directly Challenges a Fulton County Judge’s Order That Election Officials Must Certify Voter Counts – Even If They Suspect Fraud:

Where do we even start? However, another court has called that Demonrat “judge” out. This thing is in jurisdiction and timing … it was timed to take effect immediately pre-election, in swing states … worry about the legalities later.

Now … who is directing the strategy, US wide? What’s their names? How can they be taken out? What’s riding on all this?

4. Snippets this morning

a. Polish Owl (lady in US ) on Gab:

OMG another person climbing an 8 foot fence and trespassing! I just called the Sheriffs station and told them and they asked me “what do you want us to do about it ma’am?” Oh really? Really!! What do I want them to do? Go check it out! This is like the 10th time now in two weeks! “Ma’am what do you want us to do? Do you want us to talk to the person or do you want us to talk to you?” OMG this is SO infuriating!

b. “The Ankler” on Gab, take it or leave it:

Chris Wallace is being offered a pay cut, and Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer were renewed without raises. Inside CEO Mark Thompson’s massive overhaul.

c. Will Jones at TDS this morning:

New Zealand voters turfed her out over her punishing Covid and Net Zero policies. But the Establishment still makes sure she gets her honours for doing the ‘right thing’ i.e., following the approved narrative. Worth reading in full.

2. I heard this through the grapevine

… or specifically through this comment under one version of the song:

I listened to the three major versions last night:

Gladys Knight

Marvin Gaye

CCR

… and with the last reacted to by the demographic for whom the song was intended … most positively … plus it really is a masterpiece in its treatment … I can only conclude that all three, as quite different interpretations, for quite different moods, can’t really be compared, as in a “battle of the sounds comp” as was popular around that time.

Why on earth would that be item n2 today? No idea but I did notice this:

… which is not bad advice as a way of staying this side of the sanity line, given world circumstances right now.

1. DAD at 846

a) The Iran Human Rights Organization (Halvash) reported that Iranian border guards shot at Afghan refugees attempting to enter the country, resulting in the deaths of 260 individuals.

b) Solid-state batteries have long been billed as the “holy grail” of sustainable driving. Proponents say they offer safer, cheaper and more powerful batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), as well as faster charging times.

c) How Israel’s bulky pager fooled Hezbollah.

d) What really happened in Salisbury to the Skripals?
