    Mark, thanks for lame pics, and ta Coldie for WIP.

    As for bakeries, when I lived in Canberra the local bakery won the ‘best Easter buns’ comp a few years in a row. The baker was a boozehound who would sit on the planter boxes’ concrete edges outside the shop at 3 am demolishing tins of beer with a fag hanging out of his mouth. His wife, who womanned the till, was the closest thing to a functioning moron I have ever met.

    But, my goodness he was a good baker. The Easter buns were lauded by all, and you had to order them in advance. His pies were magnificent (no crappy cheap meat, wonderful flaky pastry) and he made proper vanilla slices, not rubber between cardboard.

    Just another example of why it is best not to meet your heroes.

    I should add that the very best bakeries I ever found in Australia were the Italian ones that used to be strung along Parramatta Road in Leichhardt, a Sydney suburb then infested with Italians.

    Ironic that Little Italy was in a suburb named after a Cherman. But anyway.

    Their vanilla slices were poetry, their spiral cones full of custard (forget what they’re called) are unforgettable.

    Mind you, it wasn’t all good news. In a district full of lovely Federation houses, they inserted aluminium windows, concreted the gardens (painted green) and replaced the wood floors with tiles.

    Ya get that.

    The fatty egg_roomba, confused again and more so than usual:

    That skank didn’t follow me anywhere.  She was turfed.

    ‘The kid’s back in Townsville with her, at a “private school” and working at “McDonalds”.’

    Wrong.  And wrong.

    ‘Arse out of yer pants flying the kid over to see you, what with child maintenance payments and all?’

    Wrong.  And wrong.

    ‘Bucket mouth dad in the NT likely is literally “Mark L“.’

    Wrong.

    ‘From previous, the “Townsville” “Maccas” conveniently located nearby the “private school” for after school work?’

    Wrong.  And wrong.

    ‘Google Maps is your fiend.’

    So you google mapped Townsville private schools, and overlaid the result with Maccas in the Ville to obtain this conclusion?  That’s some superb detective work, right there.

    Except because every single sentence from that last post – as mentioned – is wrong, you’re even further off track (and topic) than usual.

    For someone who puts great stead in recalling the prior circumstances of other people, and who truly believes they have the ability to work out who people are through those circumstances, this is without doubt a massive failure on your part.

    It’s all wrong, _roomba.  Seriously.  It’s all wrong.

    ‘Talking Melbourne’ but not Ivermectin

    Roger Franklin Editor, Quadrant Online 3rd September 2021

    One of the great curses is to be born with a sunny and optimistic disposition, to which I plead guilty. Hope springs eternal in those such as I, forever finding comfort in the belief that the stupid can be brought unto the light of reason by polite, measured and respectful conversation. That this approach seldom works is where the disappointment kicks in. One might, for example, point out that the universal adoption of electric cars, a high item on every green wish list, will require a vast increase in reliable, dispatchable generation, and where will all that additional electricity come from? Alas, the response is apt to be a rote recitation of something like ‘wind and sun are free’. Optimism surrenders to disappointment at such moments and the world’s collective intelligence remains one more brain in deficit.

    Still, us optimists keep trying, which was the case once again on Thursday (September 2), when a Sydney doctor, Naren Gunja, made a brief afternoon appearance on Melbourne talk station 3AW to warn against ivermectin as a COVID-19 prophylactic and treatment. Dr Gunja had been talking up a storm that day, also railing against the cheap, off-patent drug at news.com.au, where he shared the story of a self-medicator who made himself very sick indeed and ended up in hospital.

    “There’s no evidence to support the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19,” Professor Gunja told Western Sydney Health’s news website, The Pulse, another of his busy day’s media stops. “Don’t look for magic cures online, and don’t rely on what’s being peddled on the internet, because none of them work.”

    Well this was an intriguing assertion, one in direct opposition to the essays and open letters I have been publishing in my capacity as Quadrant Online’s editor from the likes of Dr Phillip Altman and Professor Robert Clancy. They and others are very definitely of the opinion that ivermectin, properly prescribed, is very useful in combatting the ravages and spread of the Wuhan flu. As with everything I produce and process for this site I had taken an independent look at the evidence. One doesn’t go to press with an argument that runs counter to the weight of orthodoxy and official pronouncement without testing its credibility and assembling links that will help the reader arrive at his or her considered opinion.

    So I called 3AW, whose slogan is ‘Talking Melbourne’, in hope of having a word with Dr Gunja, explaining to the chap who vets incoming calls that I would like the good doctor to explain why the chart of India’s infection rate plummeted down a Himalayan gradient within days of state governments’ approving ivermectin’s widespread distribution. Perhaps there was something else at work, an unnamed factor responsible for the sudden decline? Perhaps the chart (reproduced above) is just plain wrong? Perhaps the anecdotal accounts of ivermectin’s success that have been appearing in the Indian press were just that, a cocktail of urban myths, confirmation bias and the placebo effect. Accounts like this, for example

    The entire saga started on April 11 when my wife and daughter reported throat pain and fever … by evening, I was running 102.5 fever and my doctor started the entire family on Doxy + Ivermectin + vitamins + blood thinners, assuming all of us were infected …

    … My family members thankfully recovered in just 3 days

    I was also keen to hear Dr Gunja’s thoughts on the current situation in Israel, where some 80 per cent of the population was vaccinated early on and infection rates dropped. Infections have since soared, however, leading authorities to rule that two vaccinations are not enough and only after a third booster can a person be considered adequately protected. As Dr Gunja was urging vaccinations as the only path to post-COVID normality, what would he recommend should Australia see the same dip-and-rise as Israel?

    Alas it was not to be. Dr Gunja had departed by that stage and I managed to utter no more than a few words of my India question to the show’s hostess, Dee Dee Dunleavy, before I was cut off. Listeners would not have known as much as Ms Dunleavy proceeded to win an argument with a dead phone line. I would refer readers to the podcast of her show, but the audio has been bowdlerised (and not very well) leaving only a few truncated words from me and very little of Ms Dunleavy’s incoherent parroting of half-absorbed talking points. Amusingly, her acquaintance with the facts was such that ivermectin in her rendering became “invermectin”.

    Later in her three hour show, Ms Dunleavy enjoyed the company of former Herald Sun gossip columnist Luke Dennehy, who insisted that antilockdown protesters deserve whatever violence and plastic bullets Victoria Police care to dish out, and also that they wave Nazi flags! Unlike my call, Dennehy’s imagined sighting of blitzkreigers on Bourke Street remains part of the audio record.

    Why do I bother passing on any of this? Simple, really. As as a born optimist it is painful to think those likewise afflicted might call 3AW in hope of honest, rational, open conversation and find only censorship. There’s always the ABC to fill the void and, bad and biased as is the national broadcaster, you might find it preferable to a radio station that bills itself as the station where “you can talk and share what matters most” while permitting only one-sided conversations.

    Full disclosure: Well before Nine took charge of 3AW, I made irregular appearances as the fill-in for John-Michael Howson in Sunday morning’s biff session with leftist Nick McCallum. Last weekend, 3AW having gone woke, McCallum was paired with Melbourne’s deputy mayor Nicholas Reece, familiar to Sky viewers as the go-to guy for every left talking point.

    The article has a great graph showing the effect of the Ivermectin intervention in India:

    The “lone wolf” attacker was Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, a Sri Lankan national, 32, who came to New Zealand in October 2011 and was granted refugee status two years later.

    According to the NZ media, immigration officials tried to revoke his refugee status in 2018, but he appealed and a final decision on whether he could be deported was still pending.

    ConservaCorp appear threatened by the UAP.
    Two attacks on Craig Kelly last night, now this

    ________________________________________

    I think that Craig has rattled the Uniparty. The (limited) policies of the UAP are good, no more lockdowns in particular, we have to get the economy up and running again.

    I’ve seen only two other policies, these are to encourage nuclear power generation and scrap the French submarine deal and purchase American submarines.

    Sounds good to me; restore our freedoms and economy, guarantee energy supply and do something serious about our national defence.

    This is a speech to the Finnish parliament on  9th June by Ano Turtiainen.  It now has English subtitles as well as a transcript underneath.

    What would a real orbiting space station look like?

    Well, I thinking something in a light grey with maroon accents, with lots of mid-century style fins with chrome edging.

    A long term space station can only be the shape that Arthur C Clark envusaged for good reason. A huge spinning tyre with spokes into a hub in the centre so that those in the rim have centrifugal force to replace gravity. Human health degrades without gravity. It needs heavy shielding from cosmic rays as well.

    Always degenerate Delta.  They come with the tests and the masks so they are always up to date.  They never go on holidays.  And unlike yourself they are always regular.

    Stupid unfunny old woman.  Your grandchilds brains are being eaten.  And the stupid old lady laughs.  What a crap Grandma you turned out to be.

    You’re a prick.

    And chrome fins Whalehunt Fun.

    Must have chrome fins.

    It’s not just about where you are going, you have to look good getting there.

    In outer space the glossier the better; I would go chrome and stainless with gold inlays for albedo and power displays if and when the alien tyre kickers turn up.

    I think you should save all your cat posts and publish them in a book.

    Don’t what to see so many pearls of wisdom lost in some random smiting.

    Cohenite, that just makes you look like an inter-galactic pimp or crack dealer.

    Crass.

    Great post bird but who the fuck are these oligarchy types you keep mentioning? Are they aliens like those in The Mote in God’s Eye, the Moties, who were very cunning buggers.

    If you’ve got it flaunt it is my motto. I would have large nude statutes of the most beautiful ladies on the perimeter of the ring. They could also double as weapon outlets which should quell the usual cries of sexism.
