Bikies make a nice change!

Hooray... covid-19 is OFF the front page... replaced by the other stapple of the media [ they who are tasked to scare you! ] takes their place - the BIKIES - two themes, the sniper who started the fued with Mike Martin and the funeral of the father of Troy Mercanti [ along with cameos from Danny Green, Slim fats, and John Kizon with cops watching on from unmarked cars ] So predictable but a since change!

What is true?

The headline of todays mainstreet newspaper The West, was about 2 people who snuck over the border to watch Melbourne win the AFL Final... the lady at the coffee shop said the truth was the guys had spent 2 weeks in quarantine in DARWIN but that didn't fit the story... so the headline was "FAKE" news.

Mmmm so true!

AFL Pocket $40 million

The lead story in today's newspaper is that the Grand Fional in Perth has added $40 million to the AFL's bank account... nice if you can get it!! That's what I said or thought but how much does Melbourne get for having the AFL Grand Final 100 years?? No wonder they put up such a fight to kep it - add to that the Melbourne Cup and the Tennis Australian Open...

Things look so much different with a crowd!

It's a holiday!

Perth has a Public Holiday today!! I think it is called "the Queens Birhday" - it is NOT but hey we need a name... not like the vics who had Friday off and called it tyhe AFL Final holiday... They also have one for the Melbourne Cup.... Pity they are also in Lock down.

I often wondered what the Spanish Flu time was like.... we still have a flu shot to ward off the flu BUT did you know San Francisco had a Freedom day in 1919 when they could legally stop wearing a msk only to be caught by the 2nd wave.

The balck plague wiped out 60% of Europe's polulation and can loosely be credited with starting the Salve Trade as Serfs demanded paymeor labour where as pre-plague they worked for free.

No Holden Cars!

Transported from America, The jingle Football Meat pies and Holden Cars has everything to do with the AFL Grandfinal being played in Perth these covid-19 times... except Holden cars no longer exist as the americans took their bat and ball and went home - after 60+ years in Australia an after wrecking many childhood dreams.

The melourne football club is warm favourite to win but we need to plat the game first!

Covid still causing pain...

I just got off a phone call to a friend who is trying to sell "at home" gym memberships - and what worked last week stops working this week... If West Australia did not have the AFL Final, the truckie testing positive would have caused a lock down in WA but with 60k tickets sold, how can you do it...

What effect did the riots in Melbourne have on people in the non covid states - my view is "I don't know" but people stopped buying my stuff - my question is why??

It is a strange time.

French Anger at Squashed Sub deal!

"Scotty from Marketing" has his work cut out trying to explain why he can crash a $90Billion contract and make Australia a nucler target for the Chinese.

Things are so complicated, we need an event to re-order things. I  am listening to Dan Carlin's HARD History podcast when the time between wars is "long" when it exceeds 50 years [when did World War 2 end? was it 1946 or later?] So, how do we make sense of covid-19 and the US's retreat from Afganistan... and Australia getting nuclear powered Subs.

Bullies still Rule!

We often forget that things in our childhoon weren't always milk and cookies... As a Margaret Riaver boy dong my last years of school in Busselton I rember carrying around a hocket stick to protect myself from bullies and I still have a mark on my nose where a cgarette was stubbed out... that bully became my brother in law some years later!! Or being in a band and my sister kneeing a bully in his manhood just as he was going to puch me in the face. why all this nostaglia?

Well, todays West Australian Newspaper [remember those] Talks in its headlines at "Elite School Bully Probe" things change yet stay the same!!

Reminder! Credentialled idiots run the show!

Christian Porter has resigned from the Australian Government cabinet - about bloody time I would say!

I don't sgree with Cancel Culture but sometimes there are examples when It serves a purpose - like when they target Christian Porter... how could he jsutify suing the ABC, keepng a role as a Minister, and allowing a "blind" trust to pay his legal fees? He deserves to go! I wondered after seeing FourCornrs attacke him about 6 months ago how long would he last and how far would he fall. We now know, not long and he fell from up on high to very low!

When is a contract NOT a contract?

The Australian Government has cancelled a $90b contract to build Submarines from France... how can a contract be torn up?

 

How does that work? Lots of $$$ for Lawyers? Why have a contract anyway if you can tear it up?

Atention span: We are beaten by Gold Fish!

The average attention span of a goldfish is about 9 seconds. Humans in this day and age, on the other hand, hold attention spans of 8.25 seconds. Quite an astounding and disturbing fact.

This notorious short attention span aptly describes the kind of lifestyle everyone lives. It’s true that we can pay attention to a two-hour lecture if we choose to, but the fact put forward by so many scientists confirms that humans are very easily distracted.

It would be a lie to say otherwise. Because we are, in fact, easily distracted living beings. We’re listening to music one moment, and paying attention to a boarding commuter on the train the next. This is further proven by our tendency to bounce from one site to the next in our quest for needed information.

Submarines... $90 billion mistake

 Where is the guy who loses their job? Even a dumb arse lke me could predict that a diesel sub that takes 20 years to build has the wrong motor. So we write off a contract for $90 billion and replace it for Nuclear powered subs that will cost more and take longer to build. And we pock the bear [China] for no reason - and side with the USA who can't learn how to help Afgahistan with 20 years of occupation and $2  trillion of arms [and of course deaths]

Today the Hashtags are still important.

Flu -what is that?

 It seems that the lowest ever recorded Flu numbers are due to our actions to stop Covid-19... most recorded cases come from people returning from India according to figures released by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research. In 2019 there were 313,033 notifications and 953 deaths - this year until August 29th, 2021 there have been just 484 cases and zero deaths.

Got the flu?

These same experts are expecting a surge of the flu when travel starts again. Sort of like a double edged sword.
