(1700) Evening all. Going to do the CK anomalies tomorrow morning with IYE’s input from the weekend, plus mine … it was a messy day here today, so it needed justice doing to it. Plus to let the Memorial proceed unhindered today.
18. Antiquated expressions
Just been watching a YT on expressions no longer used. First one surprised me … I always thought of it as Australian … “stone the crows”.
“On yer bike, chum” I still use, unless I’m antiquated.
“A sight for sore eyes” is still used I’d say. There’s a Russian equivalent I heard in James Bond where he said to Moneypenny that “today was a ‘prazdnik’or festival, celebration for the eyes.
“Don’t teach your grandmother to sck eggs” … I always thought it was rural America.
“Pull the other one, it’s got bells on it” … still use it.
17. Lies, lies and more lies
16. Of foxes and dessert spoons
15. The big online Brit story today
Dozens have reposted the clip, incredulous about many things … firstly that, with no warrant, no immediate perp and looking like that, they gained entry to the lady’s home. Once inside, they confiscated the daughter’s phone.
Clearly, readers have been warned never to let a child and a jihadi, pretending to be police, into the home, do not even answer the door.
And it’s that most unlikely look to the child with the tatt and the piercing eyes of the other, barely able to speak English which had many pundits wondering if it were just a stunt … maybe just to warn everyone to be scared, awaiting that plod bang on the door.
Or else this is Starmer and his stasi being deadly serious, contrary to ECHR statutes. Whatever. Then there was the question of the jihadi herself even being a legal citizen.

13. 2 Timothy 3
There’s a bible quote from a modern version doing the rounds on X, so thought it best to get the KJV text:
[1] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
[5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
[6] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
[7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
[8] Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
[9] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
The curious thing to me in there were the references to Jannes and Jambres, both of whom I made baddies of high station … characters in my long book, end of part two. Now, methinks … I’m fairly sure I didn’t get that from the bible … but I must have seen the names somewhere.
Then the penny dropped … names used by the tramps on the triple underpass at the JFK killing … the third name escapes me for now.
J & J were “magicians”. There’s a book of their enchantments discovered or written in the mid 18th century on way back. I am not linking to it as I am not into encouraging funny business.
15. I understand that WMP are claiming the under 2 minutes video is heavily edited, and the14 minutes of the Police bodycam shows the true version. Unfortunately, as this video may be required for evidential purposes, I doubt it will be readily released. However, there are a number of questions that require answering by WMP, including apparently forcing their way into the property, unless they had a warrant. There is, or was in my day, a power to entry, if necessary by force, where an offender is, or is believed to be, but has it been established the child is the offender? If merely suspected of being the offender, I believe a warrant is required to enter the property. The initial refusal to leave when told to do so, calls into question the training these officers receive these days. More and more, I begin to feel that Police officers ‘wing it’, relying on the lack of legal knowledge of whoever they are talking to. Not the best day for WMP, in my opinion.
For those who wish to watch it live..

18. Starve a Lizard*! I was watching that video only moments before popping over here.
* Always thought of that as the Oz version of stone the crows. Wasn’t there a band named Stone the Crows?
