political leadership

Our politicians are both confused and annoyed by the Monarchy.

Confused?

On the one hand, politicians dedicate one of their number to the task of removing the Monarchy. then these same politicians get very excited at the possibility that a couple of royals may visit Australia.

And annoyed?

There are natural disasters. prime ministers and premiers abandon their deal making to visit the flooded towns. they make vague promises, shake carefully curated hands and get the essential photo ops.

So what do they gain? Demands for actual help. and questions about how seldom they visit these areas. Damn :-(

meanwhile, a Prince makes a phone call. chats to some locals, offers his condolences. and everyone is thrilled.

why?

because the royal did not need to call. he gained nothing. he just showed that he cared.

There is no way a politician can match that.

how annoying.

nice to know

I send an email to the Letters editor of our daily paper.

Within seconds I have an automated reply saying, email received.

So what?

My email is sent from a different address.

When I send an email from my usual address -- there is no reply. No automated reply saying, email received.

I am email-non-gratis to the Letters editor.

Well there's a sign of... not fame... but notoriety or infamy, at least :-)

Nice to know.

My future rants will go to this blog. That's what it's for. 

No more emails to the paper.

watch that Bowser(2)

A Butler (22 Dec) is such a trusting soul.

When he pumps his first one or ten litres of fuel, how does he confirm that the volume is correct?

He should pump his ten litre sample into a calibrated container. Just to be certain.

then check the fuel itself.

a simple sniff will distinguish between diesel and petrol.

But is he paying for 98 and only receiving 91? check the fuel colour.

How much water is being delivered with the fuel? Take a sample and shake vigorously.Like an oil and vinegar salad dressing, diluted fuel will show with suspended bubbles.

Alternatively, carry a bag of anhydrous copper sulphate. This chemical will turn blue if there is water in the fuel.

finally, look at the payment receipt.

It shows litres, cost per litre and calculated total cost. Confirm that each of these matches the figure shown on the fuel pump. Use the calculator on your phone to check the cash register calculation of the total.

only with these simple checks will innocent motorists be able to avoid the criminal activities of the bowser owners.

The word "boobs" is so scary until you get to the second "b". (Alfred E. Neumann

arse artis gratia

a man goes into a massage parlour. He pays. lies down. asks the masseuse to shove a dildo up his arse.

a woman fills a dildo with sperm. films herself shoving it into her vagina, charges porn-lovers to watch the video.

What is the difference?

The man is a perverted sex deviant. He will be fined or jailed.

The woman is a performance artist. She receives a $25,000 arts grant.

We can learn two important lessons.

1. a woman may be a masseuse but not a do-anything prostitute.

2. a performance artist may be a wanker.

glass houses

The release of the Bali bomber is, according to our Premier, a travesty.

absolutely.

if he had been convicted in WA he would have been released far sooner.

if he had also raped a few people, he would not have been jailed at all.

that's what we are proud to call justice in our state.

The cost of saving money

Our universities could be merged into one big corporation.

The curse of bigness does not encourage corruption or waste.

it does allow the corruption and waste to be on a much larger scale.
