  3. Too me, the decision for the Joker is not something for which he should be blame. It is a wedge that many of us may benefit from.

    Novak won’t be exempt from Melbourne’s fury
    Novak Djokovic might have an exemption to play in this year’s Australian Open, but those Victorians who’ve endured COVID-19 restrictions for the past two years won’t provide a warm welcome when he lobs at Melbourne Park.

    Isn’t it fun to see the press piss in their pantaloons over Djokovic? As Nelson said, this could well be the thin edge that sees more wins in 2022.

    ‘Cases explode undetected, sick queue for nine hours as Omicron unleashes hell’

    Authorities fear Omicron is rapidly spreading undetected through the community at a rate never imagined, while Queenslanders queue for nine hours to get tested.

    ***

    Why would a sick person queue for 9 hours to get a test saying positive or negative?

    Stop taking tests and live your life. If you’re sick, stay home. If you feel fine, go about your business. That had been the system for all of human history until the last two years. Time to go back to it.

    Time to end ALL mandates.

    Only question must be healthy vs unhealthy.

    If anyone can get it, then only question is whether person is healthy to work.

    A healthy person must be allowed to work & NOT excluded by passport.

    STOP excluding healthy staff.

    Update for calli:

    Daughter said her Doc said 16 of his other patients suffered similarly to her from the Frankenvax – just one small sample.

    Femme Paramedics who were called to take her to hospital for testing were not amused apparently and dissed the Doc in front of my already distressed daughter during the trip, i.e. it was NOT the Frankenvax, according to the militant numptards and she says her Doc has been rather cowed since – due to small town crunts.

    The doctor, of course, is the one with the Medicare provider number and stands to lose everything if the clowns that run the system so desire. The Nursey Numptards get off scot free regardless of their learned opinions.

    My therapist told me that a great way to let go of your anger is to write letters to people you hate and then burn them. I did that and I feel much better but I’m wondering… do I keep the letters?

    My mother used to say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Lovely woman. Useless surgeon..

    I asked a pretty, young homeless woman if I could take her home. She smiled at me and said yes. The look on her face soon changed, however, when I walked off with her cardboard box.

    Out and about today. We’re surrounded by idiots.

    Part 4 – 34:40

    Harold Baldr:

    NEPAL, HIMALAYA: Ever since I’d ran into an Indian trekker coming back down along the Langtang river on my first day of this Himalayan excursion, I’ve had one thing on my mind: get to Tibet Guesthouse at Lama Hotel rest-stop and try their Gongo (or Roksi as it’s called in Nepal).

    I always like to sample locally made brews when I’m in a new country and according to this Indian who had just spent the previous night at Tibet Hotel, the owner there had made the best Gongo he’d ever had in his entire life.

    In fact, and I quote: “He has brewed it to perfection!”, he said.

    That’s why I set out from Bamboo Lodge so early in the morning without even eating anything other than a granola bar. I wanted to get to Tibet Guesthouse as soon as possible to start the day like any real man should: with a fresh shot of Gongo!

    What I didn’t expect though was to run into the coolest and nicest couple I met on my whole Himalayan trekking adventure. A couple that started the very first lodge at the Hotel Lama location over 40 years ago and are still running that same guesthouse today.

    Himalaya Gongo Hotel 🇳🇵

    French President Emmanuel Macron just called France’s 5 million unvaccinated citizens “non-citizens” and stated “I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so to the bitter end. That’s the strategy.”
