    My thought too Craig. Trump doesn't get "Hypocrisy" especially saying Maduro rigged an election .... hahaha! Although Maduro is a "Bad Guy", like others filling their pockets from the power they exert. Oils ain't Oils .... 🤑 This below is an example of top shelf hypocrisy: Juan Orlando...

    The Sydney test is looking like a real test. Good to see the Poms improve. I only say that because I prefer a close game in all sports. I still hope Australia wins this 5th test.

    THE CHRISTMAS THREAD.

    Early days from the Aftermath of Bondi Craig. Politics aside I think an urgent Security investigation will speed up the protections from loony scumbugs. Remember how the squeaky wheel get the oil.

    THE CHRISTMAS THREAD.

I was smoking and drinking from 13 on, which was no big deal in Ireland then. I even served behind the bar. As you said Craig, the urge to smoke stays with us. When...

    I looked up what WOKE meant, I really didn't know,nt. In a broad perspective it seems fine but getting into the detail, it gets a bit silly. Like the looney guy channeling /pretending to be a Wolf howling at the full moon and ... yuky worse. I'm not WOKE enough on such silliness. I'm asleep...

    Pity our test matches are so short, unlike the grass wicket at the MSG where they were too long! No worries, you'll get an imaginary refund for two days, and a thousand Flybite points. 🪰😉🪰🪰

    A mate and I chatted today and he was very dark about Steve Smith captaining given the ball tampering fiasco. I'm less harsh on Smith, he's still a valuable player and good acting Captain. The pace attack was good, and what a tough wicket for both sides!

    Potatoes, peeled, sliced thin, lightly fried in butter, and then put in a baking dish with white sauce, salt, pepper and cheese to be baked. Scalloped potatoes is the name I think..  Q
