Here I was all set to knock out a Christmas column full of cheer and bonhomie but life, or more accurately, Daily Life has intervened.
I normally disapprove of intra-media byplays but Fairfax Media’s Daily Life section has become so full of cranky third wave feminism that someone needs to hold it up to the light. Among this waste of ink and kilobyte street corner psychobabble, comes a contribution from self described feminist Polly Dunning who tells her harrowing tale of giving birth to a shame boy. The good news is she’s slowly getting over it.
I’m not allowed to swear anymore, at least not at volume but this is sorely testing my already fragile grip on self-control.
At first blanch this was merely another addition from women who have recently given birth and have come to believe that having done so, they have unlocked the secrets of the universe. But on further reading this is a tale of a woman not just at war with men but also her own male child.
Full column here.

Yes our Pakis Bassman over history in Tsst Cricket , often offer resistence especially when we prepare our pitches for spin which they and their neighbours India and Sri Lanka a masters for spin.
Cunning as it is over in there turf , they damage our quicks preparing pitches for spin .
Lets hope our boys at test levels master this contest this year and achieve the results for us.
Five days for a waste of time draw. Why not play until somebody wins and give the punters value for their gate ticket? No wonder people are turning off test cricket. And Tubby? He wants 4 day tests….they wld all be draws because I can’t see any team leaving ‘sporting’ target s to chase Bald.
Whoops! Last comment to read ‘via manufacturing jobs’
Ex PM Bob Hawke, now 87yo Mr Insider, a couple of days ago at the Woodford Folk Festival in QLD singing “Waltzing Matilda”. You cant keep a good man down.

Ross Fitzgerald of the SMH sums up the walking disaster that is “current” PM Malcolm Turnbull, Mr Insider. At a time when we needed a Hawke, Keating or Howard as PM we have the dud of duds. God bless Australia.

Ross seems unaware the changes to the pension were first proposed and legislated by the Abbott Govt.
ABBOTT:-“There will be no cuts or changes to pensions” 28th August, 2013. His lot have limited the time pensioners can spend o/seas;changed the way pensions are indexed and raised the pension age to 70;changed the rules re for those on defined benefit pensions stripping thousands from pensioners…some $11,000 a year! The Liberals have changed the asset tests rules; pensioner concessions have been cut….and Joe? He said “We are the best friend pensioners ever had”, 19th June 2014… The Big Steal…The Big Lie. SIMPLE ANTIDOTE:-don’t vote for them.
And fully supported and voted on by Labor and the Greens too Mr Insider, lets not here Bill Shorten bleat on this one!
Labor voted against it. It got through the Senate with support from the Greens. Labor has, however, factored the savings into its budget projections as of the last election.
Let’s stop this lunacy now! We add nothing to global emissions and have a chance to create jobs for our young people via jobs and cheap energy.

In future when highlighting this Owens misinformation campaign I will attach the reports in the hope the “editorial” review is accepting of a differing opinion based on actual facts. Just to highlight One section of the misinformation Owen again talks about power failures in SA but fails to acknowledge again that hundreds of Power lines were taken out by the storm that lashed Adelaide 2 nights ago. Just as he continues to omit that major Transmission lines failing during the black out were the reason for the network behaving as designed and shut down, as the AEMO report shows most likely due to the wild fluctuations by Gas fired power which was greater than twice the size of fluctuations of the Renewable energy being generated. A couple of weeks ago he was screaming about a power price spike in SA that lasted literally seconds before prices fell to $11 per mwh of course no follow up article to talk about the fact for the rest of the week power in SA was running about $20 per mwh less than the rest of the Nation. Owen is a card carrying Liberal here in SA and has continued to run his misinformation campaign regardless of facts presented.
Mr Hawke continues to show leadership. I agree. Get rid of State Governments.

Talking about Obama breeding instability in the ME region over his encouragement of the Muslim Brotherhood now acting against Egyptian leader Mubarack, there will be no such peace now says Rowan Dean writing today.
What a disgrace with our cousins NZ having this repulsive obsession with Israel voting against them in this useless UN who also breeding Jewish haters and supporting rogue nations now like Iran and supporting Saudia Arabia.The UN ignore the vile atrocities of the ME with the rise of the Syrian war over the barbaric abuses happening there. Where ever Obama goes in this world , destruction follows as said , this UN has sank to its lowest and peace will never happen while Jewish haters are alive .Look out Christians while the UN is in this frame of mind war against you .Israel has managed to cut off dangerous terrorism Hamas who even kill their own scheduling and initiating hiding kids from schools as shields where bombs landing after they first fire rockets at Israel.
NZ did the Right thing. Israel continue to build in areas they know they should not in contravention of agreements. The Palestinians have offered a demilitarised option that Israel have knocked back. Rowan Dean?? Puhleease. On Syria do you realise the “Rebels” supported by the US and allies are IS??? Hypocrisy on all sides.
John Kerry said Israel can be a democracy or a Jewish state. A truer word never spoken the settlers and the Ultra Orthodox have perverted the secular state and are turning Israel into a Jewish theocracy. Doesn’t matter whether they are Islamic or Jewish or Christian or Buddhist you do not allow the religious nut jobs anywhere near political power.
Religion is crap, crap Religion, – that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Humorous interlocutory between Mark Nicholas and Kerry Packer on the standard of his cricket commentary!
Effing funny!

Pay attention. I said “………. and carry on like children” , The remark per the flibbertigibbets who no doubt imbibe gorge and giggle was specific to your type and previous to the unspecified characteristics of children at Christmas.
Do you see your mistake? In any case your notions of “sacrilege in the extreme” indicate you have led a very sheltered life.
You have misrepresented me Carl, I would never ever be critical of the spoilt greedy noisy little brats at any time let alone Christmas.

Again! Clearly the descriptor “limp wristed” defines and separates the girly men from the women. It just means that the girly men have limper wrists than women. From that it does not automatically follow that women have limp wrists, just that girly men have especially limp wrists. Having said that, I must have arm wrestled thousands of women in bars all over the world in my time and won against all but seven of them. Since girly men will never arm wrestle real men, and I am an extremely good arm wrestler, I cannot make a direct comparison, but I know of all the women I have wrestled not one of them has ever been bested by a girly man in such a contest.
Peruse the link. With a protein supplement there may be a possibility for improvement.

Pogue your hone? Ummm, no thanks Mack. Ask around at the Mardi Gras. You never know your luck.

This is very dated and things have got much worse but this bloke reckons we could last a hundred years. Which should cheer you up no end. Us lasting a hundred years is of course a hopelessly optimistic fantasy. I do believe I have complied with all your requests?

Methinks thou doth protest too much with that little homophobic comment JB.
Whoa back! You issued to me a very improper, from my own personal situation, request or directive. Without being judgemental in any way I merely suggested a venue where you might find a companion more suited to indulge you. Not that theres anything wrong with that, but each to their own Mack. O.K.?

.Cruising without leaving Oz?
Is there any chance if we tell you which ones, you could be on board? Cos, I was thinking of an SA cruise, but if you were on it… you know. Id probably just go camping.
