Not an American and I don't want to first-hand degrade my consciousness any further with MAGA culture. Who on earth is Oz the Mentalist. It's sounds bad, very bad.

WOKE. They're all taking DRUGS. All of them!

Thats a cute little table.

I'm back in old Sydney town for a brief holiday. Holy moley. A smashed avo/chook toastie in The Gong cost $24. Take away. A single piece. In a brown paper bag. A schooner (not a pint) of Reschs and a glass of wine in a standard King's Cross footy pub (not a wine bar), also $24. Man.

That's bar-room talk right there. This fool has been scarfing it up for the past year and a half and probably doesn't even realise it's 2026. The Pink Floyd song 'Time' was written for him.

As a former attendee of AA, I have to say old Kash, old mate, reminds me of every hangdog newbie in the back row at the Uniting Church hall in Essendon. Totally fucked, but still thinking he can talk his way out of it.

Damn, that is hurtful. I'm really sorry to hear this. You're a very good egg Sandy. Your photos are a real blessing. I wish you a better tomorrow.

I just flew back to Australia and missed that day in Thailand. It has been absolutely punishing heat for the past fortnight. My living room never gets cooler than 30C and reaches 34C every day.

Damn! Kevin Rudd initiated some kind of challenge to the lying propaganda Murdoch shite-factory in Australia but it died in the arse. If only, if only our Labor Government with its massive majority would have one-tenth the balls of this guy.

So ... Trump says the Pope is "weak on crime", the Pope is confused and offers some boilerplate about offering love to children and the most vulnerable, and this pisses Trump off so royally that he cancels Popish charity funding for the protection of children. My head hurts.

The fat guy with the crazy centre parting? We don't know him.

Exactly right, but I liked my friend's rendering as chuckwell. It had great imagery. You certainly don't want to be called a monitor lizard, or a water buffalo (them's fighting words), and heaven help you if you're male and your last name is "Dawson".

Whatever it is that Jordie Shanks says in the Super Mario Kart skit when the cop fines Bruz for speeding to a KFC, that's what I want to learn. Sounds like an absolutely grouse swear.

It sounds vaguely like "chuckwell" in English (well not really, but that's how a friend heard it), but it's a cute way of calling someone a wanker in Thai. Literally means "tugging the string on a kite" (e.g. having a hand crank).

The Australians of the middle east. Fair play to them. Love to hear an Iranian go off on Aussie dashcams.

Couchus Rex has no idea what he's talking about, as usual. If he thinks the unprovoked attack on Iran meets Aquinas' test of a just war, he's talking out of his seat cushion divider. This hilarious nitwit should make like a Quayle and get the flock outta here.

Yeah, good one Angus, ya meataxe.

This is a conversation only Australians could understand.

He's 65? He can't be 65. It's not possible.

Don't get me started on Grade 7 kids. Still lovely, but just starting to become cheeky little bastards. I believe Ron Hitler-Barassi was a Grade 7 teacher, which explains a lot.

Guy has an amazing sense of humour; he's absolutely hilarious. Genocide, rape, being Jesus, all thigh-slappers, all sadly unappreciated by crazed leftists such as my woke self. I must change.

I teach middle school. While it is a challenge, the real magicians are those who teach early primary. How they do it I really don't know. Sometimes I have to cover Grade 1 or Grade 2 classes and while the kids are unbearably lovely, it is like herding caffeinated cats.

Absolutely, brilliantly perfect. Bravo.

I've lived here for a long time but the combination of increasingly awful heat and catastrophic levels of ultrafine dust are making it increasingly difficult to live here.

Cnuts/fucking cnuts.

I hate to think what's going to happen if the country runs out of fuel or has serious fuel shortages and people can't use fans/ or a/c. Mass death no doubt.

Meanwhile in Thailand ... insane heat indexes during the day, sometimes 50C, temp dropping to 29c at night. Madness.

The heat index is 43C here and I have just driven two hours through the steaming Thai countryside. 3 tall dewy cans of Asahi are by my side. Trump and Netanyahu and other other unfun objects can piss off for a few hours, gunna drink beer and watch the Doggies bury the Hawks (I hope).

It's worth listening to the show. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Me too. All those who crap on the loudest about ANZAC Day the most, or wave their drippy little flags, I always suspect of being of the Tim Wilson ilk.
