I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld ... I can say, hand on heart, that I haven't gotten drunk for the last 30 years but more than made up for it the previous 20!! Was never a mean drunk either, but given that I'm loud without a drink, chances are I was VERY loud!
🤣🤣 Tobes, just for you I rewatched to see if there is any comparison to anyone. They all are very exuberant but theres waayy too many arm moves, kicks, and spins for me no matter how drunk I am. Im not a dancing drunk, mean drunk or loud drunk. I’m more of a , well, tramp drunk. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m pegging that once you get a few sherberts (drinks) into you that you’re dancing style is very similar to the guy in the white shirt Fugitive.😆
Good night Bluesky ! Nothing cheers and motivates like a Soul Train line. I was 6 or 7 and my 16 year old cousin drove me to coast playing September all the way there. We were the SHIT! 🤣🤣 High kicks not included.

Holy shit : that's one big grasshopper! Mate, I run a mile when I see a daddy long legs spider 😀
@tobes56.bsky.social please tell me this isn’t a pet of yours.

What's it need? A 6% swing? The female independent ran a pretty good show against Ley last year and the electorate might be a tad pissed that they shafted the party leader.

Given the daily antics of the so-called leader of the free world and his compadres, we probably only need four characters ... WTF?
If you can’t say it in 300 characters it’s not worth saying.

You're right, he's not perfect but next to Trump, Obama gives Washington and Lincoln a run for their money. In fact, compared to The Donald, George W., Buchanan and Harding are stars.

Well, I hope when you got into the restaurant you ordered the turkey!! I've got a mate with alpacas - they can be a bit daunting too.
They are vicious! One took up residence near a restaurant we used to go to and it would chase like that! 🤣🤣

I suppose it's a fairly low bar, but is there a more traitorous piece of shit in the Australian parliament than James McGrath?
Oh plus James “Pre-Polls” McGrath who still hasn’t conceded the 2025 election

I'm willing to bet that 'dad' would constantly bang on about first amendment rights and frequently bemoans that muslim women are under such a tight rein in some countries.
Shot dead in Texas after a vicious argument with her MAGA father about trump, 23 year old Lucy Harrison has become a chilling symbol of how MAGA right wing grievance turns lethal.

The Texas legal system found no crime, where a young woman ended up dead over a late night fight about President Trump.

Did they teach you not to overly rely on the middle one?

Fugitive, I had to repeat kindergarten because I failed finger painting! I think we might have to blame that one on someone else 😀

Forgive me if I misheard, but did the guy interviewed on the ABC about RBA rate rises just say that he would be unable to pay both his mortgage and purchase another investment property?

I prefer winter too, but then I complain about the cold. I guess you could say my happy place is whingeing!!
Ugh. Sorry to you both. I’m in my happy part of year. The colder the better, I say. (Sorry winter haters) it’s freezing here and I love it.

I'm away up north at the moment but went through a bushfire affected zone a couple of days back. Incredibly sad to see so many homes destroyed. But yes, a lot of us will be sticking close to air con for the next few days. Very hot in Jessica's part of the world too! @jessicaperthwa.bsky.social
I hope that’s not near you @tobes56.bsky.social or Jessica. I can never remember their handle.

Of all the batshit crazy things he has said and done over the last 10 years, this just knocks it out of the park. When I first saw a post about it I thought it was a pisstake. America, you get what you paid for (tariffs added).

Do we know how much of the billion US goes toward Trump Gaza?

Good for you Fugitive! Been to Spain and Morocco but didn't make it to Portugal. Fingers crossed things have settled down by then - unless of course Trump discovers Portugal has rare minerals and oil.
Thx! I’m ending my contract where I am now and getting paid out over the next four years. In meantime I’m going to do private consulting for a friend making pretty good money. But hoping to go back to Portugal in late spring, assuming the world isn’t on fire!

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

I'd kinda hoped that when old, white blokes like me eventually died out that things might improve on that front, but now I'm not so sure. On a brighter note, hope you've got plenty planned for your retirement Fugitive!
Yes. Very disheartening. When lgbtqia+ seem to take a step forward it is quickly followed by two steps back. im retiring in May and my team is very concerned about it becoming less friendly. Hard fought progress can slip away so easily.

I'm usually a sucker when someone gets shafted and has to front the media. However, when Ley gets the boot (only to be replaced by someone more repellent, I guess) she'll get Abbott-level sympathy. Opportunistic sod.
Loved how Amy managed to slip in 'slither' ... well played.
