Not unexpected that the new civility & turning the temp. down in Oz politics has lasted 3 days…they are a mediocre bunch of flogs…all of them.

Love the French…they march in the streets whenever the govt of the day makes changes to retirement age/pensions…they call out the riot police when school students protest cuts to education…French citizens don’t fuck around!

Buy a lot of stuff online…at checkout should have the option to choose which logistics company delivers your items…waiting on something from Sydney (I’m in Perth) now for 7 days, due to arrive now in another 6 days. Received 2 seperate orders with different couriers last week, delivered overnight…

The company I’m waiting on? Couriers Please…had past experience with them, they’re appalling and if I had the choice, I’d never use them.

I know I haven’t been watching but James Campbell back on Insiders??? They’re determined to make it unwatchable aren’t they???

About to have 20 x 17YO descend on my house for a party…about to start drinking in prep…not a religious man but prayers welcome…

Can’t wait for the govt’s response to the IDF murdering the Australian aide worker…expecting them to be ‘disappointed’…

Zempilas, standing front of a sign “Leadership Matters” confirms he would preference ON ahead of the ALP in upcoming elections…he’s always been a nasty, self-serving,small minded prick hasn’t he?

Power went off last night with Perth’s ‘once in five year’ storm…not due to be on until 6pm tonight…with 4 people in the house (2 teenagers), can’t remember the last time the house was this quiet…

I’ve watched some shit football matches but the level of umpiring in this Dogs/Naarm game is next level fucking awful…don’t care who wins just want the officials to know the rules of the game they’re participating in…

I get ‘streaming paralysis’…can’t decide what to watch and end up watching nothing…house to myself tonight so need both something mindlessly violent and something that will scare the pants off me…suggestions? Need to sit in front of the screen and switch off for a few hours…

Bought myself a used Mini Cooper S…love these cars and owned a few of them…my used car advice? Buy from a reputable (ie big brand) dealership - they have a reputation to protect. When they waive that extended warranty in your face - buy it! It will potentially save you a fortune…here endeth etc etc…

The (only) bloke on the Insiders panel, who happens to be a News Corpse rep, seems to be given a lot of opportunities to provide his opinion this morning…Niki and Mel Clarke watching from the sidelines…

At Dusk store this morning, decided to sniff-test one of the reed diffusers…”Buttermilk Pancakes”…no thoughts on what it smells like, proceeded to insert/shove one of the reeds fair up my nostril…on a good note, I’m well and truly awake now…

Sitting in an outdoor Bali restaurant…the entertainment has stepped up on stage…a middle aged Indonesian woman belting out Pink Floyd’s ‘another brick in the wall’ accompanied by some skinny dude on an organ…it’s quite something…

At 60 I’ve had any number of burdens to carry but nothing like being a Bomber supporter these last 5 years…yes it’s a young, inexperienced squad but the right coach would have these boys firing…they wouldn’t be languishing in the cellar as they are…

So if I’m looking at something on a shop shelf and you walk in front of me, will it kill you to excuse yourself whilst doing so?? No wonder we’re fucked as a species…

What would America’s reaction to Mexico and Canada both building walls to shut the US in?? Given the amount of interest they show in the outside, world would they even notice??

I live in Perth, Western Australia, moved here 40 yrs ago. It’s March and I still have my air-con on…anyone who tells you this normal is…A) a fucking idiot, or B) is lying…

In a conference room waiting for things to kick off…a roomful of middle aged fellas all groaning and moaning…lack of sleep, too much booze the night before, bad backs and hips…

17YOD school ball tonight…I’m happy to have survived the prep both financially and emotionally…if this is a dry run for a potential future wedding…I ain’t gonna survive that…

So, if SAVE is confirmed, I’m assuming everyone is getting copies of births certificates etc in prep…not that they should…but just to ensure they minimise any barriers between their surrogacy ensuring this fuckwit’s power is neutralised???

Paraphrasing Wong, a regime (Iran) that murders its own citizens lacks legitimacy…I expect she will come out and make the same announcement of the USA?
