    Having a long phone chat with my very smart Physics PHd mate about the middle east and at almost the same moment wondered if Iran could buy some nuclear bombs from North Korea? It's a mad, mad world.

    When it comes to the LA Riots a 10CC song "Rubber bullets" comes to mind. Here are a part of the lyrics that seem very apt: Load up, load up, load up With rubber bullets Load up, load up, load up With rubber bullets I love to hear those convicts squeal It's a shame these slugs ain't real...

    Like Trump, they take no notice of Laws and international Laws and are led by a war criminal. They are a rogue state imho bent on the Ethnic cleansing and constantly stealing the homeland of Palestinians as shown below.

    I've seen those food traps for the starving palestians being shoot and killed vying for rare scraps of food. They're treated like filthy animals and killed with stone cold hearts by the Chosen Ones. Greta Thunberg did make a great symbolic gesture despite Netanyahu and Trump slagging her off...

    It seems to me Israel keeps herding Palestinians into this or that area of Gaza and then bombing the area for weak spurious reasons. Many Aid workers, UN staff, Journalists are killed, seemingly deliberately too. Deliberate blockades on Aid trucks to Gaza with the contrived result being immanent...

    Thanks Thomas. Sorry to hear about your 85 yo table tennis member fracturing his shoulder blade. It's slowly sinking into me that as we age our bones weaken, ... and we're more fragile in many other ways too.

    A retired senior nurse friend encourages me to get the operation if it's a marginal choice. She gave good reasons too ... I'm always happy to seek other's opinions. Meta AI was ambivalent .... I quite like it often exploring topics of interest and winding my way through the discussion ever...

    Greta Thurnberg was on a yacht filled with almost one truck load's of supplies to the wretched Palastinians in Gaza. It was to provoke a media storm against the Genicide in Gaza. According to Greta their yacht was bordered in Mediterranean international waters. Kidnap and piracy of the crew and...

    Just to change tack, listening still and half watching the movie "Se7en" with Morgan Freeman and a young Brad Pitt, both detectives. Freeman's cop character just said: "If a woman is being sexualy assaulted she's better off crying 'Fire' than 'Rape'!"

    I'm slowly healing Thomas but there has been a set back with the possibility of surgery. I'll find out this Friday when I'll have more X-Rays and see my Orthopedic surgeon. He may put a plate in or wire up the bones that have separated.

    Great to see you back on Thomas. Busy times indeed. It's great you've made up with your twin brother. 👏 I played a lot of table tennis 🏓 too, even having had a table for my young daughters and then wife.

    As for the US wanting to import their disease suspected Beef to Australia, it a non negotiable "NO" with our bio security regulations. Our country, our rules. We already import beef products from the US given that cattle were born, raised and butchered in the US. What worries us in Oz is that...

    Many false arrests of suspected illegal US immigrants including women and children were made in LA recently. Long time residents even arrested in their places of work. They were locked in a big room with no food, no water and no toilet facilities. It was deliberately a cruel and inhuman act...

    I went shopping today and checked the cars in disabled car bays which all had acrord labels on their dash. Goodo I thought but then heard loud shouts and swearing from a bare foot and bare chested idiot guy harassing people, even doing a brown eye to a lady. The guy was totally out of control...
