Nearest and dearest asks" Have you seen the plug for the kitchen sink".
I reply " Not lately, Use the plug from the shower".
"Strange" she Say's" I always leave it in the same place".
"OK" Say's I, "The dog next door ate it".
"How could that happen ".
I then told her "Every time our new neighbours go out their dog starts
barking on and off, more on than off , so I looked for something to
shut it up ".
"Cant see it eating a plastic or rubber plug Say's she".
"Why not said I, the dog couldn't resist it'.
"Why is that she asks".
"Well I covered the plug with chicken fat and skin from the leftovers in
the fridge, so I reckon the dog will be farting more than barking for a while."
Stop worrying dog lovers. Took a decko over the fence and saw dog gnawing
on the plug. Must buy more plugs.
He who does not hope to win has already lost...Vest.. Back soon.

'Psst' wanna buy some 100 Year old Cemetary Gates?
Anyone you hear of trying to flog a pair of century old Wrought Iron gates in NSW or possibly Victoria in OzStrayer mate. contact your nearest rozzer bobby or gendarme - la police.
Anyone considering using these gates as an entrance to their new stately residence may invoke the wrath of the previous persons guarded by these gates. Midnight wailing and poltergeist activity could eventually precede unusual deaths and madness to those who perpetrated this ghoulish deed.
A small community in New South Wales, OZ,is dying to solve a grave crime at their cemetery, and won't rest until the case is dead and buried.
Thieves stole stole these gates from Murringo cemetery about a week ago.
It has infuriated the village people, population 164, and the local council faces 'Coffin up' for new gates if they are not returned.
Local mayor S Frankenstein (Whoop's) sorry er Freudenstein Say's we can't have a cemetery without gates, mind you, we are not trying to stop anyone getting out.
One lady resident slammed the grave yard thieves stating " I hope the Ghosts eat away at your conscience, anything associated with the cemetery when it is interfered with is taken very personally by people who have relative there"
It is believed that Sydney and Melbourne auction houses have been warned.

Post No990.To day is International "Owl And Pussycat Day."
Two hundred years ago Edward Lear who composed the famous poem in1867, was born in Holloway, London. England
It would be best to google his profile and save my time ranting on. However, my contact with Edward Lear's poetry? came in the 1930's during my senior schooling. When Lear's "The Dong with the luminous nose" was a challenge to learn 'off by heart'. in fact a massive prize of one Pound Sterling
was available to any student who could recite this gobbledygook without any mistakes. There were no winners that I can recall.

The Dong with a Luminous Nose | |
| When awful darkness and silence reign Over the great Gromboolian plain, Through the long, long wintry nights;-- When the angry breakers roar As they beat on the rocky shore;-- When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore:-- Then, through the vast and gloomy dark, There moves what seems a fiery spark, A lonely spark with silvery rays Piercing the coal-black night,-- A Meteor strange and bright:-- Hither and thither the vision strays, A single lurid light. Slowly it wanders,--pauses,--creeeps,-- Anon it sparkles,--flashes and leaps; And ever as onward it gleaming goes A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws. And those who watch at that midnight hour From Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower, Cry, as the wild light passes along,-- 'The Dong!--the Dong! 'The wandering Dong through the forest goes! 'The Dong! the Dong! 'The Dong with a luminous Nose!' Long years ago The Dong was happy and gay, Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl Who came to those shores one day, For the Jumblies came in a sieve, they did,-- Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd Where the Oblong Oysters grow, And the rocks are smooth and gray. And all the woods and the valleys rang With the Chorus they daily and nightly sang,-- 'Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue And they went to sea in a sieve.' Happily, happily passed those days! While the cheerful Jumblies staid; They danced in circlets all night long, To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong, In moonlight, shine, or shade. For day and night he was always there By the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair, With her sky-blue hands, and her sea-green hair. Till the morning came of that hateful day When the Jumblies sailed in their sieve away, And the Dong was left on the cruel shore Gazing--gazing for evermore,-- Ever keeping his weary eyes on That pea-green sail on the far horizon,-- Singing the Jumbly Chorus still As he sate all day on the grassy hill,-- 'Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue And they went to sea in a sieve.' But when the sun was low in the West, The Dong arose and said;-- --'What little sense I once possessed 'Has quite gone out of my head!'-- And since that day he wanders still By lake or forest, marsh and hill, Singing--'O somewhere, in valley or plain 'Might I find my Jumbly Girl again! 'For ever I'll seek by lake and shore 'Till I find my Jumbly Girl once more!' Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks, Since then his Jumbly Girl he seeks, And because by night he could not see, He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree On the flowery plain that grows. And he wove him a wondrous Nose,-- A Nose as strange as a Nose could be! Of vast proportions and painted red, And tied with cords to the back of his head. --In a hollow rounded space it ended With a luminous Lamp within suspended, All fenced about With a bandage stout To prevent the wind from blowing it out;-- And with holes all round to send the light, In gleaming rays on the dismal night. And now each night, and all night long, Over those plains still roams the Dong; And above the wall of the Chimp and Snipe You may hear the sqeak of his plaintive pipe While ever he seeks, but seeks in vain To meet with his Jumbly Girl again; Lonely and wild--all night he goes,-- The Dong with a luminous Nose! And all who watch at the midnight hour, From Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower, Cry, as they trace the Meteor bright, Moving along through the dreary night,-- 'This is the hour when forth he goes, 'The Dong with a luminous Nose! 'Yonder--over the plain he goes, 'He goes! 'He goes; 'The Dong with a luminous Nose!' |

Should America go the Whole Hog And clean up Islam
Top US officer: Stop this ‘Total War’ on Islam
Fri May 11, 2012 11:59AM GMT
America’s top military officer condemned in the strongest possible terms a Defense Department course that taught troops to prep for a “total war” on Islam using “Hiroshima”-style tactics.
“It was totally objectionable, against our values and it wasn’t academically sound,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon press conference on Thursday. The instructor responsible for the course, Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley, is “no longer in a teaching status,” Dempsey added - but he is still employed at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va.
Dempsey’s comments were prompted by a Danger Room report on Thursday that described Dooley’s course in detail. For at least a year, Dooley taught an optional course at the college for lieutenant colonels, colonels, commanders and Navy captains that proposed taking a war on Islam “to the civilian population wherever necessary,” which he likened to the bombardment of Dresden and nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Guest lecturers in the course encouraged those senior officers to think of themselves as a “resistance movement” to Islam. Wired.com
HIGHLIGHTS
The course for U.S. military officers has been teaching that America's enemy is Islam in general, not just terrorists, and suggested that the country might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths, following World War II precedents of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima or the allied firebombing of Dresden. Daily Telegraph
"They hate everything you stand for and will never coexist with you, unless you submit," the instructor, Army Lt Col Matthew Dooley, said in a presentation last July for the course at Joint Forces Staff College. Daily Telegraph
The college, for professional military members, teaches mid-level officers and government civilians on subjects related to planning and executing war. Daily Telegraph
Dooley also presumed, for the purposes of his theoretical war plan, that the Geneva conventions that set standards of armed conflict, are "no longer relevant". Guardian
In what he called a model for a campaign to force a transformation of Islam, Lt Col Dooley called for "a direct ideological and philosophical confrontation with Islam," with the presumption that Islam is an ideology rather than just a religion. He further asserted that Islam has already declared war on the West, and the U.S. specifically. Daily Telegraph
"It is therefore illogical" to continue with the current U.S. strategy - which Lt Col Dooley said presumes there is a way of finding common ground with Islamic religious leaders - without "waging near 'total war,"' he wrote. Daily Telegraph
Over the years, hundreds of documents claiming “mainstream” Muslims are “violent” have made their way into FBI curricula, alongside internal claims that agents working on counterterrorism cases could “bend or suspend the law.”

A Ninety Km round trip for Nowt.
Today was to be a trip to the Gosford Hospital for ongoing treatment for my xxxxxx problem. not currently life threatening. The ninety km journey itself is harrowing enough, particularly traveling through Gosford, NSW, which can be described as the largest car park on the Central Coast.On arrival at the ambulatory dept, I was informed that I was not scheduled for treatment today due to a viral infection showing up in my system and when it clears my treatment will continue.I then asked why was I not informed last Tues when the problem arose. I was then told I was by telephone. Which turned out to be untrue as no record of the call was found.
I informed them , in future I would ring prior to my expected appointment to save wasting my valuable time and money, having to get up early and shave and shower out of season whereas I could be in my best rural rags and pottering around with manure and stuff in the garden . It seems a shame to waste a shower and shave, so I shall turn to looking after things clerical I have neglected recently.

Hardly a blow for World Peace......Plus Mad Cow hits USA.
LOS Angeles. Seven foot plus, Lakers forward, formerly known as Ron Artest and now goes under the monica of Metta World Peace, has been suspended for six playoff games (whatever that means).
The Guy named World peace was ejected from a weekend game against the Thunder, for deliberately striking Thunder man James Hardon.It seems Mr World Peace is a stranger to what his name suggests and has a history of on court altercations. He has chalked up three career bans having been side lined in 2004 & 2007.
Mad Cow disease, Alarm the USA. or something to beef about.
The United States beef exporters are running scared over the discovery of Mad Cow Disease.
A discovery of this potentially debilitating disease has been reported in California. Authorities have informed the public that no products from this source are in the food chain. The same twaddle was fed to the U/K population way back . Despite this reassurance this situation has set the alarm bells clanging.Any bans will effectively run down the profits of the Grease burger outlets, and cost millions of jobs in Uncle Sam Land.
However we should not be concerned in Strayer mate , as it will have the opposite effect on jobs and an upward trend for our better quality beef sales.

A VILLAGE BY ANY OTHER NAME.
An Austrian village is being forced to bow to the power of the English language by changing its name
The people of F- - -ing (pronounced Fooking) hadn't had a problem until pranksters began making fun of them.Now the village is to vote on a switch and the 16th century version of the name - Fugging - is likely to be adopted.
Mayor Franz Meindl confirmed his village street signs had regularly been stolen. The Mayor Say's, it's too much. The problem is we need all of the F---ing residents to agree to the name change for it to happen.
Vest is suggesting a new marketing scheme could bring in lots of Dosh to the community if implemented.
At the moment tourists are being turned away from its news agency by being told "No we don't have any F---ing postcards.

Expect it and it happens every time. Post 983.
I Arose at 730 am , must have quick brekky and one drink only. My 9 15 appointment was too early for my constitution as I do not travel well during the early hours. The sun was shining although rain was forecast, a few mild exercise movements assisted the internal bodily movement necessary for me before venturing forth , opened bathroom window, sun had gone rain had arrived. nearest and dearest was met at the top of stairs and handed my wet plastic covered Daily Telegraph, I then ,announced my success in the bathroom, she replied here's something that may make you go again, Chris is downstairs pumping out rain water from between the back seats of the car, the aged redundant carpet machine had been in the shed for more than a decade. However, not my fault I'm the driver I say. and so far no one is being held responsible apart from God.By using max pedal we eventually arrived safely and parked in the main street of Toukley right opposite was the Docs Offices where over the course of an hour a blood circulation test was carried out, the operator stated it appears to be OK. Meanwhile, the Missus had been chatting to a long lost friend in the waiting room.We then returned to the car feeling a little enlightened.
Needing to retrace our journey a little to visit the Aldi supermarket I drove off not knowing my front left tyre was flat and torn. however bad luck turned into good luck as I slowly drove 200 metres with the tyre going wop wop wop to the nearest tyre centre, the guy there said" we can match your tyre sir and that will be 105 Bucks; have you been here before. I replied I find it uncanny that this was the nearest tyre centre out of a dozen others around here where this happened, "yes I said the previous two sets of tyres were purchased here". he replied "sir your car has a nose for good service".
We eventually ended up at the main Shopping centre via a call at Aldi
At the shopping centre we met Carole a fortyish divorced nice looking lady who I was left with to chat to while nearest and dearest popped off for which turned out to be three pairs of shoes plus slippers, Carole will in her words be getting together soon with her new beau from Queensland .I wished her happy getting togethers and explained it was some time since I had a get together, she replied poor boy gave me a full on kiss just before Imelda Marcos AKA Nearest and dearest arrived.
We arrived home in pouring rain , and greeted at the door by Chris our son who has access to all household communications, saying " Hi Mum , been giving the Visa card a bit of bashing I see.
Missed my midday nap today will retire earlier, must be up and ready for more invasive bladder treatment at Gosford Hospital at 12 noon.I am really pissed off with all this prodding and poking.
Ah well sometimes there is a funny side to hospitals, here is a little yarn to keep you jolly.
A twenty year old girl who had an appendicitis operation , had tattoos covering most of her body with multiple ear lip and belly piercings coloured skin red and blue hair and green pubic hair and a tattooed notice saying " keep off the grass"was surprised to read the surgeons note he wrote on the op dressing. "Sorry darling but we had to mow your lawn."
Back soon......Vest... BTW The Quiz is still open . go back one post.
ps I had a small win on the lotto Wednesday. It has gone already.

The recent 'Cricket Saga' reviewed. plus Bowling Loonies.
Well for starters the 'Best Team' in the competition lost to a constantly chopping and changing team of failures. The Australian side without David Warner were a team of wankers suffering from pontingitus.
"Well done Sri Lanka" You beat the Oz team four games to two and still lost the series;" doesn't make sense to most intelligent people, mind you the Aussies always have some form of skulduggery at hand to twist the game in their favour and save face, can't have any more Kim Hughes Crying when losing saga's, or Bob Hawk spewing in his beer when crying "You are not allowed to beat Strayer, it just aint dinkum".
It makes me wonder how some of crickets renowned bowlers live their lives off the playing field, although it is a known fact that one Australian nasty specimen has a record of domestic failure, the unnecessary antics of these blokes would allow a trickcycalist to rapidly analyse the mentality traits of these loonies, and it goes without saying the average spectator with half a brain attending these unproductive gatherings would be fearful of crossing swords with a person who suddenly blessed with success at the the downfall of an opponent, displays his inner feeling with an on field grotesque display of his contorted face with grinding teeth, bulging eyes and veins at bursting point while crouching and punching the air with clenched fists.
Gone are the days of the normally adjusted cricket player when the success of a bowler was greeted by a statement from his captain, "Well played Sir."
Q;Will this type of behaviour impact on our growing generation, by encouraging violence, bullying and dissension towards authority? I personally believe it will. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Q: Who are the two West Indies cricketers mentioned in the 1950's cricket song "Cricket Lovely Cricket?

Basa Fresh Water Fillets. An Old chestnut reviewed.
Basa fresh water fish fillets??? Not quite, More like Mekong river Sewer dwellers.
Every year Australians eat around 13 kilograms of fish per person. And if health authorities had their way, we'd be eating even more. But in the face of that increasing demand, the local fishing industry is facing declining stocks and fewer licences, meaning we have to get used to having less home grown fish. Consequently, in recent years, the relatively cheap Vietnamese or Mekong catfish has made huge inroads into our market. Not that most consumers would know. Lax naming laws mean the imported fish is often sold under more familiar, local sounding names. Of particular concern is the fact that some of this fish has been found to contain traces of a suspected carcinogen. The same problems have occurred in and around Sydney Australia and bans were imposed on recreational and commercial fishing some year ago. yet the govt is allowing this suspect fish to be imported with impunity because of its weak inspection guidelines
Australians love their seafood and are being urged to eat more for health reasons. Increasingly it comes from overseas, so what exactly are we eating?
Over the past few years, there's been an influx of this boneless, skinless lightly flavoured fillet. Generally it is called basa.
It has penetrated the market quite drastically and most of the fish and chip shops are using it in place of the more expensive fish.
What most Australians probably don't know is it's a Vietnamese catfish, farmed in the waters of the Mekong Delta.
Might as well be called Tongan terakihi for all I care but it should be known as Vietnamese catfish.
At the moment in Australia there are laws saying what a fish must be called. For example, this piece from a Coles supermarket came from a batch simply labeled "fresh water fillets" although basa appeared on the price tag. Coles said that was an exception to store policy, which is to label it at the deli counter as both imported and basa. Elsewhere the fish is sometimes called freshwater dory or more controversially pacific dory or pacific roughie.
This basa fillet is neither from the Pacific or is it a dory so that name is purely a promotional name and very deceptive to the public.
The reason this naming issue is so crucial is that if consumers knew it came from the Mekong Delta they might think twice about eating it.
The Mekong River is a known SEWER. The fishing industry is not that big an industry worldwide. We know what sort of waters people are taking fish out of.
The concerns I have with basa as a fish is basically the innuendos about its quality and the safety assurance that the consumer has with it.
The committee that's currently deciding on the official names for all fish sold here in Australia are saying the naming issues are real, but the health concerns are a beat up.
A strong supporter of the local industry importing selectively for his business said he doesn't worry about the basa's living conditions..... He probably doesn't eat the shit laden fish
Internationally, there's also been concern that traces of a chemical called malachite green have been found in basa. It's a green textile dye approved in pet shops for aquarium fish, but using it on aqua culture fish is illegal here, in the US, the UK, China and many other countries. It's been used as a fungicide but it's suspected of causing cancer and leaves behind a harmful residue called leuchomalachite.
It's a safety issue in Europe, safety issue in the US. Why not in Australia.
The organisation governing food standards says malachite green is not being tested because of safety concerns, but because no one has applied to approve the chemical for use, maximum residue levels have not been set, hence it is illegal. Supporters of basa argue the proven health benefits of eating fish would far outweigh any suspected harm of levels of malachite green found so far. Australian authorities started testing for the chemical in September last year. Five per cent of all farmed fish imports is only tested on a random basis. Well, 5 per cent is a very small figure. It's a very small figure, indeed, when you consider the tonnage that's involved.
Australia's testing was prompted by what was found in 60 fish samples a few years ago. Ten tested positive for leuchomalachite and in some cases malachite green. The food standards body says that very small levels of the chemicals did not present a public health concern. The seven foreign positive tests were all basa
Ten days after testing began. Two of the three samples showed leuchomalachite green. One sample showed 10 times the detectable amount. The lab involved confirmed the document was from one of its reports, but wouldn't say who commissioned the tests. This argument about basa comes as the Australian fishing industry feels the pinch. Australia produces relatively low volumes of high-quality fish and the costs of being clean and green make it vulnerable to large quantities of cheap imports like basa.
As far as the naming issues go, going back half a decade it was thought officially enforceable titles should be standardised early the following year. Consumers might then be able to separate shitfish and sewer born catfish from the roughies.... Basa Freshwater fish my arse.
These fish are river cleaners, living in waters that are virtual sewers, if you are offered this for your next meal tell them where to stuff it, it will feel at home.

A strong supporter of the local industry importing selectively for his business said he doesn't worry about the basa's living conditions..... He probably doesn't eat the shit laden fish
Internationally, there's also been concern that traces of a chemical called malachite green have been found in basa. It's a green textile dye approved in pet shops for aquarium fish, but using it on aqua culture fish is illegal here, in the US, the UK, China and many other countries. It's been used as a fungicide but it's suspected of causing cancer and leaves behind a harmful residue called leuchomalachite.
It's a safety issue in Europe, safety issue in the US. Why not in Australia.
The organisation governing food standards says malachite green is not being tested because of safety concerns, but because no one has applied to approve the chemical for use, maximum residue levels have not been set, hence it is illegal. Supporters of basa argue the proven health benefits of eating fish would far outweigh any suspected harm of levels of malachite green found so far. Australian authorities started testing for the chemical in September last year. Five per cent of all farmed fish imports is only tested on a random basis. Well, 5 per cent is a very small figure. It's a very small figure, indeed, when you consider the tonnage that's involved.
Australia's testing was prompted by what was found in 60 fish samples a few years ago. Ten tested positive for leuchomalachite and in some cases malachite green. The food standards body says that very small levels of the chemicals did not present a public health concern. The seven foreign positive tests were all basa
Ten days after testing began. Two of the three samples showed leuchomalachite green. One sample showed 10 times the detectable amount. The lab involved confirmed the document was from one of its reports, but wouldn't say who commissioned the tests. This argument about basa comes as the Australian fishing industry feels the pinch. Australia produces relatively low volumes of high-quality fish and the costs of being clean and green make it vulnerable to large quantities of cheap imports like basa.
As far as the naming issues go, going back half a decade it was thought officially enforceable titles should be standardised early the following year. Consumers might then be able to separate shitfish and sewer born catfish from the roughies.... Basa Freshwater fish my arse.
These fish are river cleaners, living in waters that are virtual sewers, if you are offered this for your next meal tell them where to stuff it, it will feel at home.

Communications Plus Precipitations and more.
.
Although comments on this blog have been a bit sparse of late, relatives and friends have been in the minority this year. Those in Australia have contributed the most although fewer than the previous annual average.
However, comments from the U/K are dead on average for the year - absolutely sod all !!
It seems that the citizens of Great Britain are becoming bored with the latest and cheapest form of communication, which is following the rapid demise of U/K Post Office communication. Nevertheless, the birthday and yuletide greetings are still holding firm, but in some cases one does not know that the recipient of your greeting card is still incumbent.
An absent or un reciprocated greeting can ring alarm bells which means in most cases the person incommunicado has a hole in his or her marble bag or has fallen from the perch, this scenario usually applies to aged persons. Those below three score and ten, the younger they are the worse the problem, most of their implausible excuses have been heard umpteen times before, but Bone idleness is the main culprit.
One Muslim youth who wrote an excuse stating he had been convicted of stealing and was to have his hand cut off, but should he win his appeal his frozen mitt would be sewn back on.
I replied, Hi Uday, sorry to hear of your predicament. make sure they don't cut off the hand you clean your ass with.
Just in...... Gerry from the mountains of blue, has discovered a new power for motor vehicles.
Gerry, a former sales person from the Magic Mile of Motors is using his own brand of 'HOT AIR' to power his ancient 'Holden Kingswood' This new power will shortly be available from govt bureacrats within Australia. However, should you require Super Air, it can only be obtained in the Capitol Canberra........"Well I'm Blowed"....... Vest.

Now is the Summer of our Discontent. Gerry Built car imobilises City.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the Australian summer or what was supposed to be.
Today where I am in Budgewoi 100 Klms up from Sydney the temp is not likely to get past 25 C with an overcast sky and s/w cooling breeze.Sydney and most other parts of coastal NSW has had it wettest summer in four years and the coolest in 15 years Only one day back in December,where the temperature topped 30C. Further out in the Sydney western suburbs and also cities both to the north and south, have experienced their coolest summer for forty years.
And there is no silver lining..... The Bureau of meteorology has forecast rain for the next seven days for Sydney, while other parts of the state are bracing for downpours.
Stopping a city generally requires a series of events, each building on the other until gridlock is achieved. Add a solitary stalled car to the equation and, as we have again been reminded, all bets - and meetings and flights and job interviews are - off.

While we are in 2012, date wise we are running parallel with 1945.
Today Sun Feb 12 will be a hot one similar to that in 1945 when the ship I was serving on arrived for the first time in Sydney. Sun 11, we had partly circumnavigated Australia to reach Sydney from the now totally destroyed Jap controlled oil industry in Sumatra (Indonesia). The British Pacific fleet had suffered a great deal during these operations, some bad mistakes coupled with unnecessary death and destruction and the real loss of around forty Aircraft, some crew members rescued from the sea others captured after bailing out in Jap territory nine in all aged 19-22 beheaded soon after.
To our crew Sydney was a heaven , the ice cream van came back several times to cope with the demand of those who hadn't seen such a luxury for over five years.The sailors from the Brit Pacific fleet walked into town across the Sydney domain their white hats covered in flies; this was pre Mortein fly spray years, a parody "With your Easter Bonnet and all the flies upon it" was the (in)tune of the day
After logistical replenishment we sailed north to join the Yanks in more clashes with the sons of Nippon , more or less on a daily basis never ending so it seemed for the next 70 days - the worst day being Easter Sunday all fools day. the landing at Okinawa, and,me being on the top of the superstructure (The Air Defence Position) the worst kamikaze day in living memory unfolded, however there was much more to come, to say the least. I was too young to die at eighteen although it wasn't the case for two friends I had gone to school with.and of course many others.
I now live with Rosemary my wife of 58.5 years. in Budgewoi Approx 100 k's north of the Sydney Hustle and Bustle. Quiet; you could say that, the occasional "Happening" does get around this way but not too often.
BTW, whoever dumped the beautiful sleek short haired and friendly pussy with sprog in our garden two weeks back. I have to inform you that, the Kitten has been relocated to a new home, its parent has decided that it is purrfectly happy with it's present servants and has no intention of leaving, should there be a feline lover waiting to adopt a puddytat with a friendly disposition, feel free to contact me.
Clouds are forming and it's more than likely the weather will turn to rain as it has done since the start of the Eastern Aus summer - the coolest since 1965, forecast for the next six days ; Rain, another week following we will be in Autumn (Fall). One thing very noticeable in the garden is the total absence of pigeons, I wonder why, however, the magpie family and miss Mog are in stand off mode.
Yesterday the cooking of the lamb leg roast came to a standstill when the comparatively new convection cooker packed in half way. It was the second time using it, it had been in storage for a few months since it was won in a raffle, however they are cheap(about 40 bucks), The racks and large 32cm wide and 8cm deep glass bowl are salvageable, the bowl could be useful for a forty person casserole or a planter.
Sham labels on vegetable packaging has raised doubt that the frozen veggies within are not all from that beaut colourfully green Aussie farm , when you buy a pack of vegetables with a picture of rural Australia on it you expect them to have been grown in Australia. It is disgraceful.. supermarket chains are importing fruit and veg claiming they are produced in Australia. Last week having a quick quiz at the stuff in the freezer of "Woolworth's The Fresh Food People" I cast my eye on their home brand(Red packet) frozen mixed vegetables, somehow!! one package was leaking and disclosing its contents; diced cauliflower stem, carrots, corn, peas and other misc stuff ; but 66% carrot. (carrots are the cheapest veggie in Australia, BTW the package proclaimed it was a product of China; probably the reason for the red packaging.
It seems every Supermarket chain is using a 'Fresh Food Slogan". Coles are now into musical renditions "There's no freshness like Coles freshness'' plagiarising a well known music hall song, I suggest they take that extra bow and bow out.
Rosemary is at the local club at this moment in time contesting the meat raffle and other miscellaneous prizes, , she has been instructed not to bring home another 'Made in China 'convection cooker. That's it for now, Shower then back to the cricket on the telly.
Here is a great tip. Pay off your mortgage sooner by shopping at ALDI.

More opportunity to share your boredom with your boring Facebook pals
The worlds largest boring online social network and generator of masses of recorded criminal activity, unveiled more than sixty new Apps this week.
Face book is adding a bunch of new applications to let users share everything from pics of what they are wearing or not and what they cooked for lunch.
Face book allows users to share the music they are listening to through Apps such as spotify, and the articles they are reading through other news services. Face book is calling it 'Frictionless sharing'. Once signed up you can limit who you share this new activity with through Face book. I am thinking the term 'f'rictionless' could mean 'No orgasmic interaction'

Lackadaisical Deed Poll Laws.
Why do we have such easy access for criminal's to hide their real identities?
We are able to change our names so easily in Australia and eventually build a glossary of names to be used for all means of skulduggery, instead of its original purpose like necessary judicial reasons and protection from former adversaries..
Page 2, Sydney Daily Telegraph Feb 1, shows pic of former business associates of mine, Bob and Jean Furlong, Whose son was murdered in 2002 by Michael Sorrell, I'll spare you the sordid details ***, however, Michael Sorrell now AKA Michael Striker a paranoid schizophrenic, is awaiting possible release from a secure mental institution.
I suppose in reality there are many individuals cavorting around using false identities., even I have a business AKA and don't most of us have a peculiar blog monica too.
BTW,I sold a cleaning business to Bob and Jean back in 1975. My Original Org is now two separate orgs owned by two relatives, prominent in the Sydney suburbs.
Q: who was the ex premier of NSW who owned a Contract cleaning business, His nickname was 'Never Wrong'. No prizes for Guessing.........

Your brain versus the Internet.
Having lived a full and well traveled life prior to newscasts and the Internet taking over my brain several years back in the typewriter years, I had the option of referring to my journals for past cloudy info or my noddle which I sometimes used for confirmation. Birthdays important events and places I had visited at the time of important happenings in our world, provided me with answers otherwise would have been forgotten forever.
Although the Internet has not taken over my brain in its entirety being most of my marbles are functioning loud and clear, the lack of hands on travel and general gadding about has me reliant on mostly second hand Info to peck at. My trip to Tassie and travelling to Europe a couple of times in a metamorphic trance to revisit old friends and rello's and recollecting my long past indelible childhood have been rewarding to me personally but did not impact on my mind as memories of some of the worlds extreme events have done.
Apart from looking from the bedroom window to see what is happening outside, it is the telly or my PC from which I collect the news and important issues of the day except for that passed from several mouths along our street before reaching us(send reinforcements we are going to advance, becomes send three and fourpence we are going to a dance).
The Internet is fast becoming our main source of memory instead of using our own brains.
our minds are adapting so that we are experts at knowing where to find information - even though we don't remember what it is. When we want to know something we use the Internet as an external memory just as computers use an hard drive.
We are so reliant on our smart phones and laptops that we go into withdrawal when we can't find something immediately, and having our Internet connection severed is growing more and more like losing a friend'
We no longer have to spend time and money to find the things we want. We can google a friend, find articles on line or find a celebrity whose name is on the tip of your tongue.
Our little magical box has become a primary form of external or trans active memory where our memories are stored. I sometimes wonder should the satellite's Fail and with the Internet on the blink how we would communicate with old systems down and in disrepair, and no one able to send or read Morse code. A worrying time between beleaguered nations waiting for the first nuclear bomb to explode. A few Nuts have predicted 2112 to be the finale of the human race, how would you rate this info. Call me selfish if you so wish, but my time for turning the lights off has been kept in check for some time. but how would you feel if you knew yours was imminent.
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Now get back to work and do something useful for mankind.
Its really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my Ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

For those people with oodles of loose change with little shopping acumen, you will be confused and remark so what, however those with fewer shekels for food with which to fill the tummies of their hungry tribe will question this and bring the slide rules and abacus into play.
Note the average price for a leg of lamb family size meaning enough for six grown ups with some left over for supper also the dog and the cat, would last week cost $24-00 for a smaller leg at $ 12-00 per Kilo. These smaller legs have had slices removed from the thick end which the butcher flogs at $16 -00 a kilo.
On arrival at the Woolworth's store, I noticed that of the dozen or so Legs of Lamb on display, were not that of lower income size and they were not moving. The reason being the price per kilo had been jacked up by $2-00 per kilo for starters and there were none under the 3,5 kilo weight . the prices varied between $46-00 to $50-00 plus. So even with the ten dollars off coupon most families would balk at the offer, but in reality if you had a family of twelve or were running an orphanage you would have saved four bucks on one costing $50 bucks.
However Woolies boosted their patronage so I was told; but not on my account. Woolworth's purchase a large percentage of their home brand veggies overseas IE Frozen mixed veggies from China of all shitty places. and for those with common sense and an eye for value and real freshness, you will find that the fresh veggie shops flogging wholesome produce equal to or better than the so called Woolworth's the fresh food people, are charging 25% less.
But there will always be the 'Pay Day' loonies With the 'Give the cat another canary syndrome' shopping at Woolies and feeding their children on bread and dripping later in the week.
I have the Daily Telegraph delivered daily to my door.
Back soon Vest.
Tues Jan 24. Woolworth's are at it again.
Yesterday the general price for quality rump steak was $9-00 per kilo (see IGA advert issued Monday)
Today Woolworth's have this amazing offer.
Rump Steak minimum buy 2 Kilos. $15-00 off market value beef rump steak at Woolworth's.
Present this coupon to receive $15-00 off when you purchase a pack of Australian beef market value rump steak( minimum 2 kilo pack in a single purchase until wed Jan 25.
I am thinking that based on the I G A price of $9-00 a kilo the customer would be paying $1-50 a kilo or $3-00 for the Min Buy of 2 kilo's. However I'll hazard a guess that the asking price before their discount will be at least $16-50 per kilo. No info on this yet. having phoned 02-88850000 the head office opening at 0800.
0857: I have discovered the retail price for a 2 kilos pack of rump steak is $18-93per kilo, Wow.
So if we take off the $15-00 discount from a min buy of $37-86, you will get the message that you are paying $11-43 a kilo, $2-43 a kilo more than the norm at $9-00 at IGA and other stores.
Just another rip off by the fresh food people, Meaning if its too good to be true it probably isn't.

Coming to'The end of the lollipop', and 'Life after blogging'.
After a series of health probes check ups diagnostic searches and other gratifying statements indicating I should retain my Christmas card list for at least one more occasion the trepidation of extinction gives way to a feeling of exhilaration instead of looking into winding up and getting things into order prior to an expected date of departure.
It has been suggested I retire from blogging; get off my ass and think more in terms of doing something more useful for myself and others around me. but what I ask, I believe I have just about done most things a lot of people haven't done , what more do you want?
There are hundreds of bloggers who I have called on and have retired since my late arrival on the blogging scene seven years ago, leaving only the stalwarts to plod on to face up to the opposition of the devious antics of Face book and the likes of other intrusive numbskull's.
Logging off could be the best way to face up to life. One quick way to cheer up may be to delete your Face book account. It seems that the more people use the popular social networking website, the more they believe that others are much happier. Trouble is all this click and flick stuff isn't nurturing me or the people I care about. My forever skimming, dipping and exercising in decreasing intervals, half listening while engaging in my sedentary bloggers lifestyle leaves me craving for smiles made with real mouth muscles, not emoticons. I yearn for the stillness of nature, to sit by myself in the garden minus industrial noise and witness the quiet of nature, tear ducts flowing while sitting long enough to feel that something good is happening.
Although I am now well into the (900s Posts that is, my goal is to achieve the one thousand mark. so regardless I shall continue until it is time for me to smell the flowers.
Have a happiness filled weekend.
BTW , Methusela lived for 969 years equal to 969 divided by 13 IE lunar months ( years in days of yore). Vest is aged 1,111 in biblical years.
Vest..... back soon.

E BA GUM or hard to believe. MAGABE and Gay Sex Romps. .
HARARE Zimbabwe. Formerly Salisbury Southern Rhodesia. This former prosperous country once controlled by a minority hard working white farming community, and now constantly raped and pillaged and slowly bleeding to death under the leadership of the Black Fella and complete looney Bob the the despot MUGABE, has another major headache with the news that Bob Mugabe is a sexual deviate.
President Robert Mugabe had sex with another politician ( One Polly telling another Polly to get f#!*ed is common place) however getting caught on the job and exposing oneself to the community can be career destroying.
A Zimbabwean MP has been held in custody after saying Pres Bob Mugabe had gay sex with another MP, state media reports.
***Mugabe is believed to have said Homosexuals are worse than pigs and dogs.
*** This is not my personal view. However,
Stringing him up by his testimonials might clear the way for a more stable administration.
Any suggestions how to string up our own Silly Gilly Girl ?

So you can't afford to pay the Mortgage this month !!
It is probably because you could not afford to protect your payments with sickness insurance. or your fees at the non govt school have arrived, or maybe a vet bill for treating your great Dane and poodle for distemper has arrived on the mat, or the worst scenario the Xmas credit card bill has arrived with the electric bill which had a boost to it on this occasion because of the greedy air-conditioner keeping your freeloading Christmas guests cool, and to top it all the children -all four have intestinal worms from handling the flea ridden bum licking dogs, which are the cause of most family strife and unnecessary expense than any thing else.
Mans best friend could actually be his worst enemy, with the average bow wow creating 1200 arguments during its average life span of twelve years, that is two serious arguments each week but does not include the minor spats, major upsets include the responsibility of whose turn it is to walk the dog, or feeding these greedy money gobblers, also their housing which creates holiday problems.
Most owners argue whether these mobile flea circuses should be allowed access to living areas within the house and slobbering on furnishings and of course not forgetting the mine field of Bow wos calling cards dotted like cow pats around what was once the flower garden near the the back door now permanently closed to keep the flies out of the house.
Most families argue over the training and humanising of their dogs, also having shoes and children's toys chewed.
The breaking up of families has been a major case created by dog disputes, lackadaisical attitudes by irresponsible family members over dog control is the main problem.
TIP: without those two dogs, you can pay off your mortgage much quicker.Your children will be healthier and your time spent with children improved
Vest Say's: The Nobelist dog is the 'Hot Dog', It feeds the hand that bites it.
Have a careful weekend remember today is Friday 13.
And for those careful dog owners, 'Bless you'.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
CHAPTER 13
My First Career
On 5 January 1942, I went to Shotley Royal Naval Base for a medical
examination, which I passed despite being under the height requirement
of five feet. I was four feet ten and a half inches, six stone six lbs (42.3 kg),
and fifteen years, five months and twenty days old. I was an under-sized,
under-aged piece of .cannon fodder.. The school received a twenty-five
pound Sterling bounty payment upon my delivery to the Royal Navy.
My body was sold for approximately 55p or Aus $1-15 a Kilo or 30 cents
U/S per lb.
My School the 'Watts Naval Training School' A Branch of Barnardo's, supplied the Royal Navy each
year with approx fifty children aged fifteen years plus. Frequently war news would arrive at the school
concerning the death of yet another old boy, the list was long but less than the real figures.

concerning the death of yet another old boy, the list was long but less than the real figures.
After a gruelling train journey to Fleetwood (near Liverpool,) I
embarked in the early morning on the Isle of Man steam packet, .Rushen
Castle.. It took four hours to get to Douglas, the capital and main port on
the Isle of Man. I hadn't been at sea for four years.
Looking piteously at the first-timers berleying on the boisterous Irish
sea, I was reminded of my first experience of sea sickness on a
Portsmouth to Isle Of Wight ferry in 1938; the .Lorna Doone,. a coal
burning paddle steamer that smelled of beer, egg sandwiches, and tarred
rope. I believe it was put to good use evacuating soldiers from Dunkirk
(Dunkerque) France in June 1940.
The Bible in my possession said, .To John Leonard Spencer on the
Feast of the Epiphany, 7 January 1942.. It was signed by the Rev.
Harling. I often wonder if the Rev. Harling ever made it to heaven.
Some of the other entrants who wore sailors gear like mine were from
other navy schools. Some wore civilian clothes. It was Wednesday, 7
January 1942. I was now a boy, 2nd Class RN. The Americans had beaten
me to this war thing by thirty-one days, but I was better prepared than
most for my next encounter with a new type of authority.
January 1942 . HMS St. George . Douglas, Isle of Man.

Sixty years ago "And it don't seem a day too much." remember the song?
There must be people out there that would make our long time acquaintance pale into insignificance. However, Rosemary my wife and I have been known to each other sixty years and married 58.5 years with approx five years of separation in several segments during my naval career. During that time we have lived together in five different countries finally in Australia for the past forty years. We have Five sons, one grandson, eight granddaughters, and two g grand daughters and one g great son.
"So What" you may say. Well er I thought I would love to tell you just that, Also I wouldn't swap my nearest and dearest for Quids.
"No trumpets sound when the important decisions in our life are made. Destiny is made known silently."
Uncertain times ahead, Back in a few days..... Vest.

Fact or myth....Helping you to live longer.
Fact or Myth? You Should Never Eat Tomatoes Stored in Can
Only forward this to your friends.
BPA canned foods has been conclusively linked to a disturbing array of serious health problems that include:
- • Heart disease • Cancer • Diabetes • Reproductive and sexual problems • Obesity • Cognitive and developmental problems
According to Fredrick vom Saal, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A, “You can get 50 mcg of BCA per liter out of a tomato can, and that’s a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young.”
The National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has also warned that there is definite reason to be concerned about BPA canned foods. The Toxicology Program warns that the chemical may cause developmental problems in children’s brains and hormonal systems.
Adults are also at risk. A 2004 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found BPA present in the urine of 93% of those tested. Based on these findings, the CDC concluded that Americans are exposed to BPA at levels above the safety threshold set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
And in January 2010, even the notoriously permissive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reversed its former position that public exposure to BPA presented no health concerns. As the Washington Post reported last year:
The [FDA]…now has concerns about health risks. Growing scientific evidence has linked the chemical to a host of problems, including cancer, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease.If you love to cook with canned tomatoes and tomato sauces, choose those packaged in glass jars as a much safer alternative to tin cans.

Catholic Priests, Should they Marry or be Neutered.
The most formidable of the Faith Industry Christian following the Roman Catholic Church, is rarely short of a sexual scandal concerning not so much Nuns but the Men of the cloth who wallow in the privilege of secret sexual activity between themselves and young children in their care. These people involved could avoid this ghastly activity. should the archaic Church of Rome allow priests to marry like other normal males.
The alternative could be castration which would solve the sex problem completely , also retain a healthy bank of treble singers should the choir boy numbers drop.
Poverty, Ignorance and fear of the almighty allow the church to bully their charges into submission. little wonder most of these underprivileged people have few independent thoughts of their own, this is not only in Ireland as will be mentioned but worldwide, Particularly within Hispanic communities.
160 cases of sex abuse. Church atrocity. In respect to 85 Irish priests. so far eight convictions have been the result of allegations.
DUBLIN: A new series of reports into Irish catholic dioceses have revealed horrific child sex abuse by priests and Roman Catholic Church authorities in dealing with them.
Some of the cases detailed by the church's own child protection watchdog occurred as recently as Aug 2010 and the Irish republics minister for children warned more abuse could be revealed.
In Raphoe in the northwest of Ireland, Bishop Boyce said " horrific" acts of child sex abuse were carried out by Catholic priests over the past thirty five years. Some 52 allegations of abuse by 14 priests were made to police.
"We are truly sorry for the terrible deeds that have been inflicted on so many by a small minority of priests said Bishop Boyce in a statement. 'What a lot of bollocks, the general public are aware that only a few get caught in the net and most of the big ones get away'.
A new report added; too much emphasis was placed on the situation of the accused priest and too little on the needs of their complainants.
The republic of Ireland has been rocked by a number of such landmark reports.
The main problem as I see it is that, every conceivable authority has a built in Catholic Church impediment which controls the whole of the non thinking Irish Hoi polloi.
And for you micks who may be offended and quote the shenanigans or going's on with the likes of Scoutmasters and other non faith aligned pedophiles, I'll agree that too needs attention. However, one thing at a time, and the one in hand at the moment and the most damming are the masturbaters of the Roman Church.
BTW. No one can make you inferior without your consent..... Vest..... Back soon.

Putting on that extra pudding
Trying to get rid of that extra pudding you piled on during the festive season may have you wishing you had donated most of the cash you used to inflate your tummy by sending it off to the East African famine relief fund, or was your excuse 'They are all Muslims so why worry', then after Christmas I'll get into a detox program".
Well if you are daft enough to fall for these detox and weight losing promo's, only your stupidity will be the winner, losing your money would be more likely than losing that extra weight.
From diets based on raw fruit and vegetables and colonic hydrotherapy, there are dozens of treatments and other chemical products claiming to cleanse the body. For some people these products could be dangerous, and claims made about detoxing are more than likely false.
There is one simple rule for losing weight, that is 'Eat smaller portions' there is no magic short cut, you have to eat less and exercise more. If only I could stick to the rules.
However the ever changing rules with blogging have not helped in keeping it simple, the mass of changes and regulations plus one recently, have me thinking it's time to go, My time is becoming more valuable and there are things which become neglected. A few fun opportunities and other options can take up the slack, and a less sedentary lifestyle would enhance my weight loss program. I do drink a lot of water, do not smoke or drink coffee and walk a fair amount and still work in our garden and more recently have cut down the size of meal portions and added more salads, fewer spuds -less dairy and bread. Last year I lost eight kilos within 19 days during my stay in Gosford Hospital in NSW, my next visit for surgery is planned for January 4, not sure for how long the stay will be. but working on an average of losing one lb or 500 grams per day, hospital food would be the best option for losing weight. Exercising at this point in time is out, so is the Sun and high humidity, So a (yawn) a quick nod is in the offing; but first things first - traveling companion Henry Falcon needs attention from the angels who have saved him from the scrap yard over the years, will have brekky first then pop him down the road. From the bedroom window I am looking at a variety of birds perched on the garden shed, but none on adjacent roof tops, they too waiting for their brekky provided by their human. Breakfast - baked beans on toast with a coupleoveggs - should get me moving soon with some wind abaft the beam, might take my variety of Vit pills later - Could get caught short away from base, Now the sun has gone and it is overcast - must get moving. Back soon. ....Vest....... " The best is yet to be." |
