The Daily Gaggle

Mothers and fathers are slaving in the home or working overtime to support the bone idle bunch of layabouts we call children, and Males are the worst culprits mostly school dropouts from sixteen year olds plus. it hurts more when looking back to an era that most people have forgotten , when at thirteen few options were available in the workforce on leaving school unless  your parents were wealthy and you were afforded an education befitting a well paid job or profession. myself on leaving  a charity boarding school at fifteen point five years and sent to the Royal Navy was not my idea for my future, but there was no option and to date the RN is paying approx 20 %. of my earnings.. A local study showed young adults  in NSW Australia and possibly all of Australia rely heavily from the support of their parents who in most case are stupid enough to allow their namby pambying of their bone idle offspring  to squeeze and bleed them dry.  A six month st...

Miserable day today, woke at 5 30; from the window all that could be seen was rain and more rain , Strange how running water makes one want to go, from the bathroom window I could see 'Ginger tom' looking wet and bedraggled by the shed lean to, the randy sod never gives up. Went back to bed - seemed the most sensible thing to do  woke again about 7 30 her indoors brought me the paper which was full of crap about thugby league, car sales and whats on if you wish to venture forth to the local club venues, after a modest brekky of cereal and tea, the weather being what it was like cool and very English sort of cricket test match weather and not wishing to go shopping the fridge produced a myriad of bits and pieces which were used for today's din din , a quarter of a chook left over from yesterday plus heaps of lean chopped bacon and six 45mm mushrooms a very large onion two carrots a stick of celery, two turnips the chopped stalks of the broccoli and a finely chopped t...

Understanding Islam by Greesh Sharma, Ph.D Here is a perspective by Dr. Peter Hammond. Dr. Hammond's doctorate is in Theology. He was born in Cape Town in 1960, grew up in Rhodesia and converted to Christianity in 1977. Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamisation begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the ot...

Within hours of the news that Tesco's 'all beef hamburgers' contained 30% horse meat, these quips hit the Internet : o I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse … I guess Tesco just listened. o Anyone want a burger from Tesco? Y ay or neigh? o Not entirely sure how Tesco are going to get over this hurdle. o Waitress in Tesco asked if I wanted anything on my Burger … so I had a £5 each way bet! o Had some burgers from Tesco for my tea last night … I still have a bit between my teeth. o A woman has been taken into hospital after eating horse meat burgers from Tesco. Her condition is said to be stable. o Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn . o I've just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer ... AND THEY'RE OFF . o Tesco now forced to deny presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions. o Said to the missus, “These Tesco burgers g...

The Movie Remake of the Jules Verne schoolboy story is soon to start in Australia. ?. It is well known among people with a brain that the archaic distance titled a League  when converted into Miles will read, Three miles, So assuming some halfwit is going to travel 20,000 leagues, his converted distance would become 60,000 Miles. So if the distance between the Core of the earth being approx 7,500 miles and the shorter journey (not the Diameter) is only one Eighth of 20,000 leagues or 60,000 miles (see diagram) his journey would take him into outer space.                                                                       ...

Japanese massacred British military personnel both patients and staff of Hospital on 14 February 1942 before British Surrender Alexandra Military Hospital, Singapore, was meant for British military personnel from British Malaya, Singapore and the Far East. On 15 September 1971 the British handed the hospital to the Singapore Government. It is now called Alexandra Hospital. On 14 February 1942 Japanese Imperial Forces advanced through Kent Ridge down Pas Panjang Road to Alexandra Military Hospital. The British retreated west through the Hospital. They set up machine guns on the first and second floors to cover their retreat. A lieutenant carried a Red Cross brassed and a white flag to meet the Japanese. The Japanese killed him. Among the patients in the Hospital were a four Company force nicknamed the Plymouth Argyles who were survivors of the 'Prince of Wales' and 'Repulse' which were sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers off the coast of Kuantan, Pahan...

Woolworth's supermarkets will investigate any possibility of  their Beef products being any other than the genuine thing. Read today's Sydney Daily Telegraph Delivered daily to your door For $ 6-90 weekly. Some of the dodgy concocted items to have a sqizz at I have listed below.

People in the UK are beefing on about the contents of their Lasagne and other dodgy meat products such as pies and sausages and the always a bit suss hamburger.. It seems Britain's Horse Meat scandal has backing from the Government and is advising people not to eat beef lasagne made in France and sold under the 'Findus'  brand due to the product containing  100% Horse meat. Two weeks ago, the food safety authority of Ireland had revealed up to 29 % of the meat content of some beef burgers was in fact Horse meat, while they also found pig DNA. The frozen burgers were on sale in most supermarket throughout Britain. The consumption of horse meat is quite common in France and neighbouring EU countries.  Makes one wonder how long this has been going on . Mind you I recall Sydney in the early seventies having a similar problem. Anyone remember this sing song slogan on local radio, "Hurry on down to Harty's  - Where the burgers are barbecued" , Harty's were n...

Some of the gibberish particularly when quoting statements made by persons they interview both astonish and irritate persons like myself and others with first hand knowledge of incidents wrongly explained. I refer to the article in the Express Advocate local central coast edition, where the story relating to the consummation of 70 years of marriage by a couple from Portsmouth England in their nineties now living up the road from me on the central coast of NSW Australia, a Mr & Mrs Bush.'The Advocate stated Mr and Mrs bush grew up in Portsmouth Mr bush served in the Royal Marines at Portsmouth and was in 1942 ( on the cruise ship Fiji during the battle of Crete ) in the mediterranean when it was sunk by German bombers . He survived this situation and his happy married life continues on to this day Read about it. Actually they married in the same church ( St Mary's) Portsmouth as my eldest son was baptised in 1956. Rosemary and I are approaching our sixtieth. Now the ...

For those unaware of the identity of a Snapper, it is the name of a fish caught locally around NSW OZ and elsewhere, not the Navy term 'a troll who haunts public lavatories '. Saw this recipe in my fave newspaper today for 'Whole baked snapper'. For starters I shall presume whole is the fish including head guts shite and scales. Now for health reasons I/We in my family eat fresh fish regularly once or twice per week. and we all have a strong preference that it should taste like fish or occasionally like beer batter with salt and vinegar the trad chish and fips, The ingredients of the recipe for the fish to be baked in foil included two lemons, one clove of garlic, a three CM cube of ginger, one long red chili,, a cup of coriander leaves, two tbs of olive oil with salt and pepper. Well for me that means it should taste like a Chinese one hundred year old oyster or worse, who are these nutters who gorge on this weired nosh. Choosing your fresh fish isn't e...

Read recently that anything your pet pooch can do a pig can do better. What springs to mind is the memory of the former neighbour whose hound left scores of calling cards in his back yard and the subsequent pong was  a bit on the nose. However, the rise in popularity for pig pets is increasing due to the 'Babe' movie, the premise of the movie was the porkers supposed intelligence, some of his porcine plots showed more intelligence that could be gleaned from a naval wardroom. Choosing a pet miniature pig in preference to a dog.  It can be said the pig does not bark jump fences or have fleas and can be hosed down daily to keep it fresh so to speak, doing that to a dog can become complicated. Meeting people: Taking pinky or perky for walkies, I can't  think of a better way to meet nice people unless you are a celebrity. however similar rules apply to piggies when is comes little calls of nature accidents. There could be pitfalls for the unwary when pur...

After the Hot fest of the past weeks followed a failed rain forecast for most days over the past fortnight. It seems my unscheduled trip for a pee at 4AM this morning gave rise to a sudden rainstorm which has continued up until now in the early evening. Three weeks ago I was feeling proud of my crop of Veggies until the Sun killed most of them off,seems the hot weather affected other growers too, parsnips for example are selling for $14-00 per kilo; double in price, however, carrots around a dollar per kilo are still the staples with spuds and onions around a buck fifty. It seems reaching for a cigarette does not relieve stress - but quitting can, British researchers measured anxiety in almost 500 smokers, with one in five saying they smoked when stressed. those who failed to give up smoking after exhaustive attempts were more stressed. Complaining of severe abdominal pain pre Xmas 1986, my doctor told me it was due to smoking and suggested I could die within three months should...

Training Train Station Announcers to communicate correctly and be actually understood by the travelling public will cost NSW taxpayers a cool two million bucks. And about time. They are the garbled inaudible station announcements that infuriate train travellers across the state. I am uncertain if this problem exists in other states or even in other countries but I would not be surprised if it was the case. "The Trains from the domains are going to Emu plains."..... " The Train from Uluru is bound for Woolloomooloo" In the meantime catch a bus or drive..... Vest ...back soon.

At 2-30 am  today Sweep male neut arrived and was placed into our shed with a tray - water and food.  Rosemary and our son Chris had returned from a 140 Kay round trip to recover two moggies left at our serial prodigal sons late residence, only one cat was recovered, due to the other cat being on a neighbouring roof gone midnight - so a further trip is being planned for today for the recovery of  'Baby' the Fem neut puddy tat. At 7am today, Minnie our resident fem mog neut was asleep in the laundry having returned in the small hours from a rendezvous with the randy ginger tom from No 2 down the road,Then after a feed of raw steak fell asleep stretched out on an upstairs table. After brekky it was decided both mogs should meet. the pity is no one took a photo of the action, particularly my bloodied hand when I recovered Sweep from the Mexican standoff. For the record , Minnie arrived at our residence thirteen months ago with kitten in tow, Kitten was fou...

On a Wednesday Jan 7 1942, LJB aka Vest; weighing in at 42kg, a 4ft eleven inch fifteen year and five month old piece of human cannon fodder was presented to the British Royal Navy by the Watts Naval School (Barnardo's). for a (Finder's Fee) of Twenty five pounds Sterling -.an unaccountable backhander. Chapter 13 My first career. From my memoirs WGTATF. Click on the pic top of page. Read in today's Sydney Daily Telegraph (delivered daily to my door) that food prices in Australia had plummeted. over the past year., apart from fish with an increase of 0.9 % and eggs 3.3%. The main decrease in food prices are attributed to Vegetables falling in price by 9.9% , Lamb by 5.7% and Poultry by 4.3 % ...it seems we are now leading the western world in the lower food price game... However, from my own observations, buying veggies from the local greengrocer to the big veggie shops in large retail centres., I am being frequently asked the same question by the checkout person when havi...

Got back to our castle from the club Via my mates house about 2am, much goings on - still a bit of  swearing and people necking in the shrubbery, the bang clang music still blaring due to the neighbours being away places distant, I slept in the gardener's cottage(Shed) til 0800, was wakened by the visiting family of magpies tucking into several piles of vomit amid the cans bottles a broken glass reminiscent of a Barry Dog's Head Barby and general piss up. The local handyman had been summoned to clean up the chaos and had just returned from the local park after depositing the last three drunks from our back garden. Previously invitations had been sent to people with an option to bring a friend and their own grog and for those who were poor a selection of the cheapest plonk was available from the family cellar. Several half cooked steaks on the Barby being attacked by ants were cut up and fed to a couple of large crows, one of whom had flown off earlier with a condom so I was inf...

What a shame, we could have enjoyed a merry Christmas and a happy end of the world all in one, dun fink its gonnahappen folks; so we may now continue our debauchery murder and love-hate relationships until the next stupid prediction.... Australia luckily has an advantage over most of the world and should be the first to experience the planet's doom, as predicted by ancient soothsayers of the extinct Mayan civilisation which disappeared a fair while back, so any further advice from the archives of these extinct geezers should be taken with a pinch of salt - or garlic if you are Latino or Hispanic....... Much more likely; is that we will all still be here come Saturday, in one form or another. Hopefully this could be the end for end of the world predictions...... Tomorrow pinch yourself to be sure....... Back soon Vest. BTW.For those readers of my blog who live on other planets, and I know a few of these non earthlings, Watch it Mate, your next.

Very few of my callers who comment on this blog are relatives. Hands up those who have called recently, It would help to compile my LWAT which is lacking legatees. Thank you Gerry for your glowing report on Christmas. Plus your Christmas good wishes, purely out of politeness in response to my own good wishes to you. Gerry said Sunday, December 16, 2012 Christmas I have trouble with Christmas. I am not a Christian. I am an agnostic with atheistic leanings who thinks Jesus was a dissident Jewish rabbi and brilliant spiritual teacher who got crucified for upsetting the religion-political apple cart. I'm quite impressed by his Sermon on the Mount, but that's about it. Let's move on, folks. However, this time of year, every year, I am bombarded with "Merry Christmas" wishes, mostly from people who aren't all that Christian either. Certainly their ability (or willingness) to live according to the Nazarene's teachings seems to be as dismal as mine. ...
