Saturday [7 to 10]

(1256) Afternoon all. How did we make it to lunchtime? (1328)

 

10. What type of utter stoopidity are they up to now?


9. About time for the next instalment

This, by the way, is not Svali per se … this is part of the other collected bits and pieces from 2002 till about 2004 or so.


8. Cotswold tatties, anyone?


7. Now & Next with PMQs report

HERE. Excerpt:

“In the first place his policies appear chaotic. He has said he wants to help ‘working people’ defined by him as those who do not have savings, yet the public sector employees who have been awarded pay rises also tend to have generous final salary pension schemes, a gold-plated form of savings for old age increasingly unavailable to those in the private sector. Also the pensioners who were to be hit worst by the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Allowance are retired workers on a low income and with little or no savings.”

Essentially, Rolf was asking … what gives with this Starmer?

Saturday [6]

(1054) Just had a delivery, had to do some kitchen chores after it, back now, copied Penseivat’s comment to OoL, now to what should have been just a regulation short feature youtube … and it turned out to be much more.

 

The one I had was how cardboard boxes are recycled. Uh huh, it showed different parts of it … commenters were unimpressed:


Alas, yes … had to drop the video and go to the next of the 24 (remember) … why do they call jeans “jeans”? Good topic … same ML (AI) bilge. Had to delete it.

The next we’ll run below … chap looked fine in the corner, expounding … until I looked at comments and there was a double whammy, which means I have to explain comments below YTs for those who’ve not noticed … there is always one comment only … in this case, a good’un about it not being Hwy 90 at all but Hwy 190 … commenter was peeved.

Uh huh … to copy and paste it here, I had to click on the comment below the YT. Like a genie, it simply disappeared … it was not at the head of comments in the least. Quick look at how many comments … well over 700 to wade through. Sigh. Fortunately, there was a similar comment visible in the thread:


So the presenter could not even get the Hwy name right, interstate, motorway, whatever. I agree it’s not critical to our understanding of the aircrash. But how the crash occurred IS critical, as the video is all about that and if the video is long (over five minutes), then I’d like to know it’s worth it.

Apparently, he is claiming the doors and windows blew open but commenters cried out:

Not as important to us as the myriad other issues which could soon sink us … plus this was in the mail this morning:


They want us to go to a site and register … uh huh. Or phone. Threatening us, plus reducing the declaration now to 6 months, whereas it had alwys been two years and indefintely before that.

I’m not fussed, nor about the way WP have stopped opening sentences here with capitals … minor again but still annoying … nor about the bombardment by the “health practice with empty waiting room” urging me to get the death jab now. Two days later … same.

Which reminded me of this sshot I took months ago:


Truly our enemy, the lot of em.

Saturday [2 to 5]

(0656) Reasonable sleep … hoping yours was satisfactory too. (0931)

4. My main post of the day

3. DAD at 1175

a) Politics in France rather quieter after all the excitment of the last few days, but the financial markets are keeping a sharp eye on Paris.

b) Image of the week: Macron humiliated internationally. Discomfort is what the meeting between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump inspires in us.

c) The French Chief of the office for immigration and integration (OFII), Guillaume Larrivé, has resigned due to the “lack of ambition” to “reduce immigration by the new government”.

d) [Recently I read Alex Belfield’s book ‘Serviving the Slammer’ on the prison system in England. All the problems therein seem to be replicated in France. Young and inexperienced prison guards are controlled by the prisoners.]

2. When politics rules and ruins sport

Saturday [1]

(0157)(0233)

 

As IYE pointed out:

The not so grand old Duke of York is now just plain old Prince Andrew.

https://archive.is/chqHf

All thanks to his late lamentable pal Jeffrey.

JH: Yes, he’s also relinquished his title of Randy Andy but retains his other … Airmiles.

This is not bad as a commentary on Virginia G … yes, even though it’s from Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffre

This seems as good a juncture as any to introduce the a few items on Chas 3 which I’ve had in remote storage since around 2002 till 2004, text as you see before you, having not accessed it since then.

Veracity? Bona fides? Your guess is as good as mine … they’re various snippets gathered over that time and archived. While my first line above was jocular, my second relying on Wiki for veracity … these below I’m quite line ball on … for example the old College of Heralds reference and I must say I’ve also noted criticisms of it, ranging from “utter balderdash” to “no such thing I’m afraid”.

I also noted at the time that “utter balderdash” hardly refutes it … it gainsays it and without receipts. I could also gainsay the gainsayers … no one’s shown conclusive proof either way imho. With that having been said, let us proceed:

Friday [16 till close of play]

(1504) And so we look towards the evening and the weekend. By the way, have you ever noticed, when your turmeric enhanced dins on the white cooktop or hob spills over onto said hob, that it imparts a semi-permanent jaundiced yellow hue in blotchy places? Creative, huh?

 

26. Think I need one of these


25. There was a Steve B chart quiz

… which I didn’t run as I simply did not get to it. The answer was 1997, which happens to be when I think the music died again, the first time being in 1959 (American Pie). To die a second time, as MMutR pointed out, it must have just “nearly” died the first time. I then shot MMutR over the phone.

I recognised Backstreet Boys as I was teaching secondary just then and the kids liked that sort of group, Take That etc. The music went off a bit imho around then, in fact most songs were nothing special … they lacked something. That’s when I saw this:


That year was also the crossover from Millennials to Zoomers. One guitarist quite unhappy about pitch correction is HERE and he explains why. My dislike of autotune is it makes stars out of nonentities and the talentless … it’s faux.

24. Risky move by Vlad?


23. Marriage and family


22. Steve at 1175

War Room snippets…

  • Camryn Kimsey: The Fallout Of Third-Wave Feminism Is Clear: Women Were Promised Liberation But Got Emptiness Instead
  • Jayme Franklin: I Launched The Conservateur Because Mainstream Magazines Like Cosmopolitan And Vogue Have Abandoned Women, Telling Them That Marriage And Motherhood Are Oppressive While Glorifying Loneliness, Hookup Culture, And “Girlboss” Nihilism
  • The United Nations Is About to Tax You, Noor Bin Ladin Reacts
  • Ben Harnwell: Zelensky only wants POTUS to give him Tomahawks so that the US can be dragged into the war

21. Tomorrow there’ll be more Svali

… in which she opines on these people she once worked for and with, plus all others in those cabals. We also have some more recent expressions of a similar nature … we are up against utter monsters here.


20. Just to annoy you monoglots


19. Have you ever misplaced your phone?

18. More taxes


17. Absolutely right


In fact, boss girl, full of self, used to barking orders, is almost the last I would go near. The very last though are women under 35 today … frankly, we don’t know where she’s been, how many have been through her, her STD status etc. etc. Even with a sweet homebody … what are you doibg with such a young lady? How could it be satisfying?

That’s before the simple truth that she’d hardly be looking at us. Just leave it be.

Hearts of Oak: Jack Hadfield – Union Jack Under Siege: Two-Tier Policing and Migrant Hotel Protests

Friday [11 to 15]

(1246) Tempus once again, chaps and chapesses … good afternoon (one hopes). (1316)

 

15. The global green new scam tax


14. The Trump-Putin chat


13. This was from an earlier item

maybe I posted it on X instead:


12. This one is as bizarre as anything else here today


The footage was easily available until midday today. All sorts of anomalies would suggest themselves to you. One such anomaly was what other major events is it disrracting us from? With the greatest respect to the victim, should she be one.

If it’s actually bona fide, with MSM camera crews at hand, then what does it say about the state of girls’s minds right now? If not bona fide, same question … as crisis actors. Plus why are the PTB so emboldened, westwide, right now?

At this point, time to introduce this for the first time:


11. This was sent by one of our feeders

First go to:


… then scroll down to:


By the way, this was also at the site:

Friday [6 to 10]

(0931)(1107)

 

10. Part of Christine’s post

… she was a Reform councillor who mentioned the deathculters and was booted out by Yusuf (through Farage). She then resigned as councillor I think.


9. Svali in response to the obvious question

… how come none of this has ever reached the mainstream (though the interviewer believed her, the implication was obviously that she was making it up for some nefarious purpose, some psy-op):


8. This is today’s, Friday’s, international theatre of note


7. The constant gender issue with deathcult dominated nations and females


6. IYE adds to the fun

A bit of gossip.

Allegedly.
