(1108) Hmmmm, usually thinking ladies at lunchtime about now, only two pics so far, shall postpone till Friday, run something else around 1330. Chores day here, handwashing clothes and bedding just now. (1313)

11. Wes watch

Over at AKH:

10. Sleeper topics

Sometimes, some news looks like a “snippet”, not a filler, as it really was news, but no plan to expound. That was the first thought, looking at Laura Perrins:


… and at her post at TCW:

Kindly put your toes away, I’m trying to eat

Essentially, concerning a high-end restaurant, not cafe, Michelin starred, in Tuscany and her two points are firstly about a restaurant owner who wants one star removed as he’d prefer to be more downmarket, less “w*nky”, more popular … and secondly … about feet and toes putting her off her food.

I’d agree about a high-end eatery as a rule, esp. in the evening but … and again, it’s a big butt … this is Italy she’s talking about, presumably in summer … hot climate and the girls have these designer flat sandals costing a fortune, floral, gemstone, suitable for semi-formal day wear … plus gals always seem to have as much upper foot and ankle on show across the world as possible … why not … it’s a gal thing, innit?

Plus, if you do have a nice set of pins and their lower extremities are shapely, not mutant, no awful tatts … such as in her post pic … then to my mind, it’s less of an issue for a pretty gal … maybe for a raucous demi-man it is.

With men though, the hairy beasts, well, the less of their flesh I see, the better, sorry to offend you boys. Men, let’s face it, are better covered than uncovered … even supposed Adonises.

Back to the gals one moment … it really depends on femininity. One of the greatest turnoffs in Britain is those gigolos and hard, near-naked hoofers who dance with them on shows such as Strictly. Thing is … they really feel they’re ravishing.

I’m going to take a random file pic from archives of one lady I find better than any of those celebs, stars, whatever … how about … hmmmm, this lady:

Can’t get much better than her!

Monday [6 to 9]

(0758) Just coming light … bleah out there. (0853)

 

9. Trafalgar


8. Aberfan October 21st, 1966


Bells of Rhymney preceded Aberfan but the spirit of the song fits the circumstances in 1966.

7. More of the same


My thought on this is it’s a bit like speculators “shorting” … get in, making a big thing of it, get out. Dominion is reaching backlash stage, they’ll fight with litigation, get out, change the name, start over … the blackmailed will say nothing.

Further:


6. Alex Bath, my financial go-to man, says

Saw a comment on it: “With all the government spending this seems logical, no?”

Monday [1 to 5]

(0614) Late start for me again … Trump trolls Harris in a McDonald’s, Tommy R returning to probable arrest. (0729)

 

5. Buying the utopian lie

… the one which feeds our fantasies. I say “our” as males have hopeless dreams as well.


The reality is that females have immense power in a society based around chivalry and “cuteness” of kids and usefulness of women … how many men who achieved had strong women behind them? Plus the skills set in areas men are not fabulous in … it’s a perfect blend.

But evil muvvers fed unrealistic fantasies of worth, value, ability beyond … listen to Danika Patrick on what women can actually do and can’t … and so it’s coming back to bite feminist-blinded demi-women … sommit awful. Meanwhile, western men are increasingly wimpy and emasculated … do women really want pet poodle males?

But the main strength of chivalry was that it papered over obvious gaps in ability and achievement in both sexes. And the Christian church wedding did actually mean something … look at the numbers who stuck together, stuck it out … look at the stability. Threatening it was always men’s arrogance, bullying, women’s harpiness, men’s over-reaction. Egos. Matriarchies are utter bollox but so are gross patriarchies giving themselves insufferable airs.

Why oh why can’t they find that middling way? What is so difficult about that? Well a pastor would instantly say … the Tempter and Liar since antiquity of course.

The truth of any of this is somewhere nebulously in the grey zone, not at the extremes. Give and take.

3. It’s because people enable it

Looking beyond the Bernie and Lucy v Lowles and The Machine issue itself, the next step is how they continue to get away with it, the bad people … coz they do get away with it, with total impunity. And what of police officers failing to act? Jobsworthism? And cynical Jenrick finally pretending to be “of the right”? People buy that?

2. Finks indeed

In a world where despised pollies know only three things … photo ops, soundbites and failing to address core questions, that was so in yer face, the Gates and Fink meeting … they did not exactly disguise it, did they?

1. DAD drops in at 850

a) The 2025 budget presented by the French government includes an increase of almost 10% in the amount allocated to State Medical Aid (Aide médicale d’État, or AME), a publicly funded system for paying for migrants’ healthcare.

b) A leaked email has shown that Italian leftists within the judicial branch are seeking to derail Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s immigration policies amid the standoff over removing illegals to Albania.

c) Cuba’s electrical grid collapsed again on Sunday, the fourth such failure in 48 hours, with a hurricane making landfall to compound the island’s misery and threaten further havoc on its decrepit infrastructure.

d) The Guardian is evil.

JH: Haven’t looked yet but am guessing it’s about describing the girl beaten to a pulp as “smacking”. (0623) Ah no, different other topic. I’ll keep an eye open for the “smacking” one.

Sunday [14 till close of play]

(1659) Evening all, hope it was a good weekend.

 

21. Would you like French fries with that?

20. Scotland the efficient


19. Toodles has an unattributed post at UHC

… interesting.

14. Storm Ashley

Was going to run the plastic patio chair tipped over but then looked and we are … er … in a sort of storm. It’s centred on Scotland and NI but the wind shadow extends south to batter the Welsh coast, parts of England as well … west coast though, not inland, not south, e.g. not over Bristol, Poole.

Anglesey has it worse than us:


Speaking personally, the wind direction is hitting the other side of our hill and is therefore diminished on our house … my neighbours are getting it worse than I am. Message now is that John Lennon airport has just been closed.

So it is actually a “thing”, Ashley, it’s certainly happenning.

Sunday [10 to 13]

(1257) Afternoon all. (1458)

 

13. Storm Ashley

… has started to kick in in our area … it always starts with the house rocking, doors banging on hinges, windows swinging open … to my mind it’s the advance gusts, more later. Had a quick look at the forecast … yep, it was to have been tomorrow just before dawn but now it’s now.

At 40 mph, it shouldn’t take down the broadband or power … but it might. Am going to schedule the 1600 jazz and if all is still unbroken, shall post around 1700.

If 1700 post does not appear, then net or power is out. Not expecting our own lines to be down, more at a distance from us, some miles over.

(1557) Died away for now, just a strong breeze.

12. BC flooding, esp. West and North Van

This is uncannily like NC in the States … I know West and North Vancouver fairly well … West Van is where the money is, i.e. anti-Castro, North Van less so but still a better area. Where the flooding is not is the Woke left section of druggies and violence across the bridge. If the torrent had taken that out, good job but can’t see it. And all on election day, eh?

11. Nice

10. Cast your eye over these points

Sunday [6 to 9]

(0859) Morning all … bleah out there. (0936) Short break, maybe 1030 return, ok? (1030) Back again, no. 8 being compiled now. (1051)

 

9. Great training for us just now

Consider:


It’s really that old chestnut about trust. I was looking at Roy Orbison’s bio and his cheating on Claudette. He was 21 in 1957, she barely 16, so the bond faced challenges, let’s say. From what I can gather, she was still besotted, he was maniacally narcissistic even before he’d had the voice epiphany but there was only so much she could take of his attitude, so she cheated … they were on a motorbike, a truck came through and hit them, she was soon dead … at 25. Nine years of “marriage”.

Did he learn? Nope. Would you trust him with your daughter? Nope. Same sort of thing with Haley. No way.

More interesting though is how many snakes are putting on a pro-Trump face now, esp. as the steal looks like it’s very much on the cards (District 16, Georgia yesterday). Leopard … spots?

8. Waste management

In what was essentially a puff piece in one of the local rags (and why not?), nevertheless there was some interesting data near the end:

Wirral Council is currently reviewing its bin contract ahead of its current contract with waste company Biffa expiring in 2027. The local authority is currently exploring three different options for future bin collections as it prepares to spend more than £300m over the next 15 years.

The current Biffa contract covers all household waste and recycling collections, waste collection from council premises and schools, and street cleansing of adopted highways, pavements and alleyways. However, collection of litter and fly tipping on other council land, including parks, is not part of this contract.

At a meeting in July, councillors agreed to develop a business case to either outsource all services, create a council run company to run all services, or bring street cleaning in house while waste collection is outsourced. Big changes are also around the corner as food waste recycling will be rolled out nationwide by 2026 and an update on the issue is expected in January 2025.

Over the last two years, Biffa’s collected bins 17 million times, cleared 26,000 alleyways, cleaned 12,000 streets, and lorries have carried out over 75,000 trips to the Bidston tip. Since 2006, services have been provided through Biffa for roughly 147,000 homes.

Things haven’t always been smooth since Biffa started working for the council in 2006. Biffa was involved in a pay dispute with union Unite at the end of 2022 which saw strikes take place in the lead up to Christmas. Collections were disrupted for weeks long after the strikes were called off, leading to heavy criticism of the company.

Uh huh.

7. Why do people keep doing the same stoopid things?

During the Canadian trucker convoy thing, people were donating to GFM who allegedly embezzled, froze funds, whatever it was, such that all major pundits said don’t go near them … apparently there’s a better crowd called give something go.

So why the heck would anyone still send to this lot?


Major lawyer, major platform … why on earth would you not heed that?

6. “Par for the course” can sometimes strike a chord

… and then a mental process starts, bumping it up to a much higher place in the pecking order.

Tavern visitors and regulars … consider how much info you process daily now … it’s even biblical … knowledge will increase in the end days … plus there’s 5G damage to consider, WiFi, the constant bam bam bam … for example flooding in Sicily, France, elsewhere … just how much can you take in and process?

And after that … just how much can I, as the bottleneck admin here, post in a given time? What topics? There are two bottlenecks here … my router, and me. This is where you need to be bolder, methinks. If you think something needs publicising, within our constraint of no overt Wokery, then go for it … there are four sites in the herd where you can leave comment … choose your poison. There’s no rule about “on topic”, given security concerns we have at our bottleneck.

But there’s another factor … your own mental health and general health … walks, projects, house chores … they all take the mind off the horrors for a time. By no means would I you expect you’d hang in here getting constant bombardment about the horrors out there. There are parts you just have to shut out for your organism’s own health.

Having said all that … this seemingly par for the course item below … well, it certainly has me thinking.

Why? Because of things we’ve had here, e.g. from DR, on MM for example … and when you retrieve that from your mental and data archives, they do paint a picture. For example, Svali spoke of the tunnels under the Appallachians, others wrote of tunnels under Denver airport … forget not Terminator 3 (ending) … FEMA camps … Annunaki, Nephilim … Toodles’s point about the significance of locusts, literal and figurative … just throw it all on the table, then consider this:


Trump saw, Johnson saw … a clear game changer, yes? I’ll throw in here about the Statue of Ish in NY harbour, similar in Paris … which group donated it? Also, whom are Catholic knights, e.g. Malta, dead against … they immediately say Masonry but that side itself lambasts Loyola and Jesuits. Think on’t and there’s just so damned much we’re missing … chunks of the truth suppressed.

And also … where’s IYE?
