The Daily Gaggle

     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...

For those resident in the USA and U/K the OZ Woolworth stores have no connection with F W Woolworth.where you are. Yes a full page advert in the DailyTelegraph both Sunday And Monday, providing a coupon which the slick woolies marketeers would give you ten dollars off the price of any fresh leg of lamb from their butchery departments in the Sydney regions. 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 arri...

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...

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 st...

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 the...

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. After a gruelling train journey to Fleetwood (near Liverpool,) I embarked in the early morning on the Isle of Man ...

Fact or Myth? You Should Never Eat Tomatoes Stored in Can Only forward this to your friends. The problem with canned tomatoes is the cans themselves, which are lined with a resin that contains the synthetic estrogen bisphenol-A (BPA). 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 There already severe dangers of BPA canned foods are further multiplied when combined with tomatoes. That’s because tomatoes are acidic, and the acid breaks down BPA. Once broken down, BPA leaches out of the lining of cans and into your food — in health-harming amounts. 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 Toxi...

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  ...

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 t...

1: I prefer breasts to legs. 2: Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. 3: Smother the butter all over the breasts. 4: If I don't undo my trousers, I'll burst! 5: I've never seen a better spread! 6: I fancy a little dark meat for a change. 7: Are you ready for seconds yet? 8: It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? 9: Just wait your turn, you'll get some! 10: Don't play with your meat! 11: Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go. 12: Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? 13: I didn't expect everyone to come at the same time! 14: You still have a little bit on your chin. 15: How long will it take after you put it in? 16: You'll know it's ready when it pops up. 17: Just pull the end and wait for the bang. 18: That's the biggest bird I've ever had! 19: I'm so full, I've been gobbling nuts all morning. 20: Wow, I didn't think I could handle all ...

Dont laugh it's true, I was in titters when I first heard of it. Ice cream made with breast milk has proved a big hit in a London restaurant, the first batch selling out quickly and customers asking for more. The Ice cream the makers call 'Baby Gaga', is made from milk expressed by 15 women who replied to an online advertisement, Each serving at the Icecreamists cafe in Covent Garden costs equal to approx  Aus bucks 22. or fourteen quid  sterling. One of the milk donors Victoria  Hiley, 35, said if adults realised how tasty breast milk was then more new mothers would feel happier about breast feeding. I visualise these fifteen busty beauties being fitted up to the 'Roto lactor down on the farm by young male volunteers at 5am each morning. However, being a bloke and remembering back a bit the excitement and pleasure of being breast fed frequently up to my late fifties I cannot recall the taste although I kept  going back for more. Remember not all suck...

      Shonky products and dodgy Flood Insurance rated high in the Dubious and Dodgy goods and services annual awards. Flood insurance is so confusing it has been named as among the county's worst products, alongside a weight loss nasal spray and Quail eggs  to cure erectile dysfunction. Consumer group Choice awarded eight lemon trophies this year, the first of which went to providers of flood insurance which left home owners in three states without cover, In many cases this was because of many definitions for the term 'Flood' and the convoluted abuse of the English language which made policies indecipherable to even ambulance chasers. The honours for misleading consumers went to SensaSlim for a weight loss spray costing $70 which supposedly decreases appetite. The serial conman Peter Foster is currently under investigation for his part in this supposed scam. Some of us will remember Foster as the architect of the 'Balin Slimming Tea' scam...

Since the fairy story of  Eve dropping her fig leaf to the demands of Adams snake in the grass, after eating the lustful apple, the pear or pair on the ground and their dubious descendants have been at it ever since.  The incorporation of sodomy was the next boudoir pastime, although not as pleasurable as the real thing so I have been informed; its cost cutting activity meaning non birthing and future responsibilities, have bred new genes in both sexes which have now reached saturation point, which means one in four births are now non heterosexuals. Gay marriage has now been approved in Australia, now I am all for that happening providing they are male and female couples( meaning one of each gender) otherwise should the trend continue to accelerate with same sex couples it would eventually spell doom for the world population, mind you it would be a good idea to start this same sex  program in China and India. Poorer Muslims have been back pedali...

Global Talk RSS ARCHIVE Print Page | Forward Page | China Has 3,000-Mile Nuclear Tunnel A group of Georgetown University students have spent three years translating documents,examining satellite images, and obtaining restricted Chinese military information to assemble a comprehensive look at what is known as the “Underground Great Wall.” The wall is actually 3,000 miles of tunnels to hide a missile and nuclear arsenal, The Washington Post reported. The students were led by professor, Phillip Karber, a former top Pentagon official who worked with the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs. The 363-page study has not yet been released but it has caused a stir in Congress and the Pentagon for its conclusion that the Chinese could have far more nuclear weapons than previously thought, the Post reported. “It’s not quite a bombshell, but those thoughts and estimates are being checked against what people think they know based ...

Or a Mother of a problem. Forward into the future people world wide with the exception of those bogged down with archaic religious problems may find themselves celebrating  'Parent 1 Day' instead of 'Fathers or Mothers day'. That seems to be the logic of present moves to include 'parent 1 and parent 2 in Australian passports' seen as a means of accommodating the descriptive means of same sex couples. Could be problems there, who gets to decide which parent is assigned each number, could parent 2 even be the victim of numerical  discrimination. Perhaps same sex applications could list both parents as fathers or mothers. Problem solved. Are you a Quitter. Whether you are an ABC music quiz show or parliament speaker, quitting can leave on lookers with a  disappointed, bereft sensation. Just keep doing the job for ever and ever so we can feel secure and comfortable. However if you really really must quit try very hard not to release an album  of love song...

  Even if you are paying in cash, but mandatory when using any card system. The big retailers particularly the supermarkets do not automatically hand you a receipt anymore if the sale is under $30. you must ask for it… CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT An associate bought a heap of stuff the other day while on holidaying in Melbourne (over $450), & when he glanced at his receipt as the cashier was handing him the bags. He saw cash out of $20. He told her He didn't request any cash and to delete it. She said he'd have to take the $20 because she couldn't delete it. He told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came and said he'd have to take it.. he said “NO Bloody way!” Because taking the $20 would be a “cash advance” against his Credit card and he wasn't paying interest on a cas...

        Suckhole journo's heaping gushing praise on those wealthy international oversexed  golfing creeps like "Victorious Shark has crack at Tiger" what a load of bollocks and gobbledygook. If I had my way Huge golf courses would be used for growing spuds for export to starving nations. should my number three and four son's rebuke me for this outburst; too bad.       Colonel Gaddafi's son Seif al - Islam will receive a Fair Trial (ha ha) following his capture yesterday. This will be followed by a swift lopping of his nogging by Scimitar shortly after.        The sex lives of pensioners or aged persons have a significant impact on their marital satisfaction and general happiness. A study of a large range of over 65's found 60% had sex more than once a month and were happy compared to only 40% who had not had sex for a year. About 80% who had sex more than once a month said they were very ...

The Daily Telegraph -  my favourite newspaper delivered daily to my door, has always had a stack of editing problems. Today we have their so called history writer Ann Beveridge bashing out yet another saga about the sinking of the Royal Australian Navy light Cruiser The HMAS Sydney. It would seem every year this mysterious wartime occurrence is churned out, so if by chance this story has passed you by , this can be seen on line on the Sat edition of the Daily Telegraph  Nov 19. 2011. Today this story Starts: ... THE Australian Battleship the HMAS Sydney sank 70 years ago to day on November 19, 1941.  No need to repeat what happened every man jack has heard this story umpteen times , it's enough for jolly jack to ditch his Tot. History writers like in this case should checkout the facts before confusing the public. A Battleship it was not, The HMAS Sydney was a light cruiser as in a type of  WARSHIP . Warships come in many categories shapes an...
