Ur, why am I coming over all bold??
Moon waning gibbous 97% full?
Whatever, it ain't just you. -
if I wanted to call Hide a fascist, I would do so. Calling this frankly ludicrous man the 3.6% Mussolini hopefully both reminds people he has no mandate and envokes a Mel Brookes view of this buffoon.
Or maybe this?

Even when I've turned up, that's when I wear the suit, silk tie & bling rings.
So that probably wasn't you in the beige safari suit and aryan-blonde obvious toupee, who appeared well pleased to be picked for jury service at the same session where I got rejected.

Poems that take a thousand years to die

I know I shouldn't, but that raised a chortle.
When asked how she'd coped with the ordeal of wrongful imprisonment, Lindy Chamberlain admitted that she'd learned to laugh at dingo jokes while working in the laundry at Darwin's Berrima jail.

And at the end of it all, five people were murdered in their own home. That appears to have gotten lost somewhere... which is sad, but not surprising.
Agreed, except for the possibility that one of those five may have, for all most of us know, died by their own hand.
The solid belief, expressed without firm evidence, that someone probably, even definitely did it, does creep me out a little. I recall being roundly howled down back in the mid 80s by a group of teachers and academics for suggesting that Lindy Chamberlain might be innocent. She was a Christian, she'd slandered Australian wildlife, what more evidence did I need?

How do tattoos get murkier?
Sunlight!
apparently it makes them blur, spread, fade and merge - even tatty - as I heard on the interview (link below) on Nat Radio last Friday night.So that's why those rough old navy tatts look so fuzzy. I'd thought it was because they were done with a marlinspike & octopus ink.
