There are calls to breathalyze passengers on flights after someone tried to open the door on the way back from Bali.

WTF!!!
Forget Bali, how are you meant to get anywhere long haul without getting maggetted? Trying to do it sober would drive me insane.
WTF are you meant to do in the flight lounge while you wait 5 hours for your connection.

I've been in a plane stuck for hours in the heat ( engines switched off ) on the tarmac at Sydney.... I would have totally lost my shit if the attendants weren't plying me with Champagne... no shit, my glass was refilled pretty much as soon as it emptied, and it was emptying fast.

Sure go ahead and breathalyze me , but only to see if i've broken the record.

Sudoku?

Sudoku?

Is that a new brand of gin?

Well as Japanese gin is known as being very nice, imagine if you had to solve a grid every time you wanted to open the bottle.

"1* F SUDOKU I JUST WANNA DRINK"

Meanwhile notes are blossom related with high citrus notes and a bit of spice...

Got some cool gigs coming up. Gary Clark Jr in a few weeks. Tommy Emmanuel in May. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic (or some variation of) in Sept.

I remember seeing George Clinton back in there 90s and he seemed ancient then. Gary Clark jar would be good to see. TE is a bit cheesy for me but he can definitely play.

Tommy is cheesy as hell lol. He talks too much on stage etc but the man is something else as a player. My girlfriend loves acoustic guitar so I reckon she'll dig it.

George is very old... true. But it'll be a party. 4th row at the Palais. I have no doubt the standard of musicianship will be high. I really enjoy seeing great funk musicians play live.

I've seen Gary before at Byron bluesfest. He's dope live.

I saw him around this time (2007):


How much older would he look now!

As an update to this;

Just got back from Bunnings.
They had a sausage sizzle as per usual.
Now food before chain goes on gate as dagnammit Bunnings....

Lay down a few hundred tacks on your footpath.

 

[StFly]

Got a second chain and lock for the other gate.
Forgot to note down which lock size suits said chain.
Picked one up but since just paper, eyeballed it from memory.
Same series.
Same company.
Same design.
Needed 45mm
Picked up the 63mm variant.

 

[StFly]

Now that I've cleaned hands...

Inflow to toilet is also now functional and no longer overflowing, seal was straight degraded and getting killed softly with a song of running water with pressure.

Happy Liberation Day everyone!

 

[StFly]

Happy Liberation Day everyone!

Bring the flying saucers and alien conspiracies nutters, you can keep the rest.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

I'm doing what us Aussies do, gonna shorten Liberation Day.

Happy Libation Day everyone!

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Is it twelve o'clock yet?

 

[StFly]

Shorten it and add an o on the end;

Libero Day
"Whatcha get up to Jacko on Libero day?"

Was just hangin' out with some mates...

 

[StFly]

And in line with happy liberation day - hows the tarriffs on those uninhabited islands in the middle of nowhere really. Scraping the barrel of "I wanna tax these things but have NFI where I am and what's going on" to point a map and go "there".

Penguin army unite against this oppression or ask them to remove the volcanoes I suppose...

I love the theory that the reason Trump wants Greenland so bad, is because he saw it on a map and noticed it was larger than the United States (because of the projection).

 

[StFly]

Here was me thinking he had a brain worm and was like "if I invade Canada, I might wish to surround it..." obviously gave him too much credit.

In other news - Tuesday I get my so not new chain as other chain no longer exists until I need it for something else, arrives.

Apparently they just want the rare earth minerals from it. Also a few billionaires including Musk and Thiel are apparently looking it because it has bunkers and a climate that projects to be ideal in the case of global warming. If they start WWIII they can survive it all.

China have their eye on Antarctica , i can only assume there is some ancient chinese text that declares it part of china , even though china then was a totally different government to china now.

well theyd be breaking the treaty they agreed to abide by that was signed by an original 57 parties

it wouldnt go down well

anyway i dont think they will
most of them know theres something there under the ice, pretty much why the nazis went there (apparently for a month in 39, lol, yeah right, a month)

I'd rather see a stable world without chaotic leaders funded by death cult nut jobs with their fingers on the nuclear football.

People are more or less sane and bound by their own sense of morality within an ethical societal code. For the most part it works in most places...and it has taken a millennia to get to that point.
Politicians these days just seem to stand in the way and wilfully subvert all of those things. We're regressing much faster than most anticipated.
It's the real shock and awe.

I'd probably state the person is sane and bound by their sense of morality, the more people that congregate you get a reduction of sense as the person really doesn't want the responsibility to do so, they just want to enjoy themselves. Thus, it's then the more dominant personalities that might not be as bound that then end up as the social consciousness and say the autocratic instances are just the show of force afterwards politically as power = corruption.

The shock and awe part is then the "I could have sworn I did more things 5 years ago" part before you're invariably folded in or discarded from new normals as force application is engaged.

Twas the polar bears, there'd have been a musket discharge and some brown notes on white snow afterwards.

But yeah it was what only 2023 when they went "thars land under this ice" and my first thought was "no shit, how else do you think it formed a crust? Ice just plonked down and went merge bitch?" but yeah, from one land of Pangaea to what we have today, one would have assumed there'd be land that had things on it, drifted south and over the millennia ice just went "mine nao" and piled on top to then be smooth as things heated cooled and then settled.

We then came along all "this is fire, fire is hot" to then have a think about what those previous things were under all that ice.
