Friday Funnies
Last week we had a list of ‘Laws’. John sent us this reminder.
… and there’s the “50/50/90 Law”: If there’s a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong, you’ll get it wrong 90% of the time.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…?
It took five minutes for the TV warm up
Nearly everyone’s Mum was at home when the kids got home from school
Nobody owned a purebred dog
You’d reach into a muddy gutter for a cent
Your Mum wore stockings that came in two pieces
All your male teachers wore ties
You got your windscreen cleaned, oil checked, and petrol pumped, without asking, all for free, every time.
Cereals had free toys hidden inside the box
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents
They threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed. . .and they did
When a Holden was everyone’s dream car
No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition.
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and saying things like, “That cloud looks like a ” and playing footy with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game.
When being sent to the principal’s office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home
Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn’t because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.
Do you remember Nancy Drew, Laurel and Hardy, The Famous Five, Secret Seven, Biggles, the Lone Ranger, Phantom, Roy and Dale and Trigger. As well as summers filled with bike rides, cricket games, Hula Hoops, monkey bars, visits to the beach and “conversation” lollies.
Lolly cigarettes, pogo sticks, marbles, Home milk delivery in glass bottles with aluminium tops, Newsreels before the movie, Sandshoes, 45 RPM records, Hi-Fi’s, Metal ice cubes trays with levers, Carbon paper, Cork pop guns, Drive-ins, Valiants, Washtub wringers, Reel-To-Reel tape recorders, houses made of cards, Meccano Sets, that awful pink slab of bubble gum, Penny lollies.
Do you remember a time when…
Decisions were made by going “eeny-meeny-miney-moe”? “Race issue” meant arguing about who ran the fastest? It wasn’t odd to have two or three “Best Friends” The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was “boy or girl germs”
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a sling shot
Saturday morning cartoons weren’t 30-minute commercials for action figures. Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Putting playing cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!
Take a break from your “grown-up” life. I double-dare-ya!
“wait till your father comes home”, then getting hit with a rolled up newspaper that was all sound.
Having the same postie for 15 years.
Chores: drying the dishes, a bucket of weeds every two weeks, pouring the water into the crater in the right mix of sand and cement, changing the oil, break linings, breaking up dog fights with a hose,
Wonderfilled days, wonderful parents.
Spain coach Luis Enrique has made the hilarious claim that he has no issues with his players having sex the night before they play a match – but he draws the line at orgies.

The long-awaited trial of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai on national security charges is supposed to begin Dec. 1 in Hong Kong. The latest news is that the government objects to Mr. Lai’s choice of a British lawyer to represent him, King’s Counsel Timothy Owen. The objection underscores how the government tries to stack the deck against anyone it dislikes.
The final poll ahead of the Victorian state election has put the incumbent Labor Party in prime position to secure a third historic term, with Daniel Andrews tipped to defy minority government concerns.
If Newspoll is right, the question to be asked is:
How can this be possible after what has happened in Victoria, these past two years?
Is it the Stockholm Syndrome voters who are responsible for this result?
or
Is it that the Opposition LNP, under the unopposing Matthew Guy, did not seize the opportunity they were handed? It should be a landslide win for the Opposition under the circumstances with Victorians anxious for a change of government. Guy seems confident of winning.
World Economic Forum founder and Chair Klaus Schwab recently sat down for an interview with a Chinese state media outlet and proclaimed that China was a “role model” for other nations.
Schwab, 84, made these comments during an interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei on the sidelines of last week’s APEC CEO Summit in Bangkok, Thailand.

This is the same Dr Ross Walker who appeared as a guest on a radio talk show, last year, and encouraged listeners to take the jab? When the question was asked about the safety for those with medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders, he said that the benefits of being vaxxed were greater.
He would make sure, often enough, on his radio appearances that everyone knew that he is one of the country’s top cardiologists.
Now, in November 2022, he is warning about the heart-related side-effects of mRNA vaxxes? What about the people who took the shots because they trusted the advice from a top cardiologist and now suffer adverse reactions?
Getting Covid is ten times worse than getting vaccinated – but we don’t need to use mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna,’ cardiologist Dr Ross Walker told Daily Mail Australia.
‘We have to put COVID in perspective where it is right now, not where it was 12 months ago, because it has changed and I think we are seeing a change.
Getting Covid is ten times worse than getting jabbed?

Pfizer to Pay $2.3 Billion for Fraudulent Marketing
WASHINGTON – American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. and its subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn Company Inc. (hereinafter together “Pfizer”) have agreed to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice, to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products, the Justice Department announced today.
Andrews’ victory earns statue honour
Daniel Andrews will qualify to be immortalised with a bronze statue early in 2023 when he marks his 3000th day as Premier of Victoria.
11.14pm
‘Hope always defeats hate,’ premier says
By Broede Carmody
Staying with the Victorian premier’s victory speech, and Daniel Andrews says that “hope will always defeat hate”.
Here’s what he told Labor supporters in Mulgrave in Melbourne’s southeast:
Friends, these last few years have been incredibly challenging. We have had to make some very difficult decisions, some very tough decisions, and Victorian families and businesses right across our state have had a very difficult time.
This was a one-in-100 year event. And because of the tough decisions that we made, and … the fact that Victorians stuck together … we went out and got vaccinated. Because vaccines work.
As a community we were not, as some would say, divided. We were instead united in our faith in science.
That sense of kindness, that sense of connection … has been confirmed today.
Friends, hope always defeats hate.
Those present then started chanting “SEC, SEC!” in reference to Labor’s plan to revive the State Electricity Commission (with a focus on renewable energy).
You can bet most of the people that voted would be clueless about the WEF ( Andrews would be on 24 hour call and I note he has touted the jab in his victory speech ) and would now be at home in front of the Idiot Box, blindly following a printed / digital tv guide that keeps them in a well crafted manipulative thought bubble. MSM News, endless show repeats and woke muck constantly being fed to them….think Magda consuming a full piping bag of whipped cream.
I guess you could also call it a digital intravenous brainwashing drip. The same for the net, with many under the spell of Big Tech algorithms and are clueless about it.

Nov 26 (Reuters) – Belarus’s long-standing foreign minister has died suddenly, the state news agency Belta reported on Saturday, two days before he was meant to meet his Russian counterpart.

He challenges Norman Swan for not being a doctor.
Just read the few paragraphs below the first photo and shake your heads. Summarily, it’s not a very good vaccine which doesn’t really work for individuals but if everybody has it it’s wonderful.
A little digging
They say – Newborn babies are particularly vulnerable because they don’t have any immunity against whooping cough and can’t be vaccinated for the first 6 weeks after birth.
They also say – whooping cough vaccines are now provided free for all pregnant women in the third trimester across Australia. This week’ expert is a Lecturer in Religious Studies. Science.
Interesting to compare the ‘news’ on France 24 with Al Jazeera. France 24 double shuffle with the LGBTQRST ball and the matches compared with al Jazeera’s paradise on earth descriptions of Qatar. I am sure there is a way to call this as a match between the two, but I don’t have the soccer lingo.
Good work while I was away, guys and gals. Spent a week in my old haunt, Townsville. Wow. Don’t get to the big smoke much any more but small business just decimated. Caught up with old friend who had a circle of about 8 lady friends of similar vintage and all MSM believers and, need I say it, vaxed and boosted. Just a coincidence that 7 of the group have had pancreatitis in recent months, 2 have died, 1 during the week. She received texts over the 5 days of her friend’ illness – in an induced coma, out of coma but unable to communicate, she’ll be a vegetable, life support turned off.
I knew them all and they were the healthiest of oldies. 7 of 9 with one particular illness. Just a coincidence.
