Labour Party voters are delusional, they haven't been for the rank and file workers since the Bob Hawk and Keating era, they moved to the right and are still there. They Labour killed off wage indexation by the way and introduced industry by industry negotiated wage rises when eventually there was nothing left to negotiate here we are today. The middle classes drive the economy but there buying power is at the lowest point of the current cycle, some good documentaries on this out and about, we are at 1938 so you got a good idea where we could be heading.

On the grog last night Billy?

its 50/50 Rip......

Friday again where Aussies stayed glued to the telly....well Billy does.... So what did we learn last week?..........the 2 WA teams will be battling for the wooden spoon.....the honeymoon at Windy hill is over.....serious stuff now.....Reality has set in at Arden st....Saints are real and likely to play finals this season....and......Voss has a lot of work to pull his rabble up.... Saints vs Port @ Marvel.....ripper for friday night Chang session sitting in front of the telly.....and the only decent game on this weekend which means we can go to the market or central what ever and not need to race back home....in fact take your women down and get them a lotto ticket or 10, there's a big spin going on in Thailand for May 2 winning numbers......says so in Thaiger this morning....birth and death dates of revered monk Luang Por April 3 1942....lived for 84 years and 22 days serving 61 Vassas monks.....now if you cant make sense of that turn it over to your women...with your money they will......this is hot to trott right off the press.....we split it 50/50 ok? Lions vs Freo @ Gabba......do you like your mince meat? i use it to make pasta, its very tasty especially if you making a sauce for pasta, they key ingredient is the Italian herbs.....Lions have the right herbs, Freo will be in the grinder here, with a bit of luck Lions will kick a record score and get the Demons taken off number 1....Ed Sheeran can play the guitar on the witness box all he likes its not going to change the out come, if it sounds like then it is .....and this i looking a massacre......for both of them.... Swans vs GWS @ SCG......how low can you go? well you can try and sue your landlord who lives in Germany for sunbathing nude....but if he was a woman would they bother? turns out you have to be dangling over the balcony pretty far to get a view....they they the tenants did get a 15% rate cut for 3 months due to construction work going on there....since there both traveling like a german naturalist who's going to win that 15% discount? Bulldogs vs Hawks @ Marvel.....Ummmmm.......Trump vs Pence here.....you cant see it? someone is lying through there teeth, still cant see it? well they haven't delivered since 2016 men, looking the goods, promising the world pooing on your face if your a Doggie supporter.....see it now? I just had arrived in Mexico City in october 2016 i had no net while in Havana, no news other than in Spanish on the telly, and no mention of the US election either, so i was stunned like a mallet when waiting for my suite case that the 45 tellys around the carousels all flashed Trump's face in big beautiful red and blue....OMG he had won....well no the Hawks might not win but they will show up some of the Dogs dirty laundry when they give evidence this week meanwhile the Dogs will do a Trump and you know not deliver just keep our heads spinning instead..... Demons vs North @ MCG.......This is Thailand road carnage here.....the difference is Clarko has gone into fix it.....while in Thailand it's sabi sabi on the road toll.....last frigging night 3 instances of motor bikes with either no rear light on no headlight on or no f************ing lights on at all....on the same stretch of road a month ago one motor bike ran head first into the end panel of one of those concrete road barriers they love to put up here all over the place....dont think the guy walked away by the way, ive discussed ways of fixing the problem with my passenger but you know Thai's....well North is going to be another notch on the football when the Demons mangle them around the southern goal post on the weekend, of course they will labour to do it as you know the old story.....By the way..i love it when them bike riders ride down the wrong side of the road while im coming up the other way, first few times i was DISMAYED, now, every now and then i play CHICKEN with them....you should see the look on there faces.....well on one guy, normally i dont let myself get dangerously close but i do try and put the fear of god into them... Eagles vs Blues @ Optus......will anyone but Billy be watching? i dont know......Blues to get back on to the winning score board, if not.....Fj might get a call as interm manager till end of season....Jerry Springer is dead at 79 and so are the Eagles. Bombers vs Cats @ Marvel....ahhhhh DeSantis who wishes to be king says were going to do something about the land around Disney.....another Trump, meanwhile Disney has an air tight case but you know that Trump mentality, chubby cheeks Scott had his 5 min of fame, April Premiers and all....its all over red rover as the Purrrrrrrrrsssssssss scratch there way to a win..... Tigers vs Suns @ Marvel....have you noticed the Fox presenters in their small jackets, at first i just thought it was a couple of the younger trimmer ex footy starts fashion stand, but no even chubby Lyon and Dunstall have there set of under sized jackets too....well Tigers wear a sloppy jacket with room to improve while Dewie is struggling to find anything to fit... i mean this could go anyway but i have faith in the Tigers, the maths is they have lost most of there games to clubs in the 8 they play 4 quarters, Suns? ahhh....im over them.... Crows vs Pies @ Adelaide Oval....Loved how the Pies came back....Tex can go sing American Pie with Sth Koreas President at the white house but its not going to change the course of Sundays game, this will be the day that i die, bye bye miss American Pie.....

A news report this morning is setting a precedent in sport. For those who hide under a rock Newcastle United put 5 goals into the back of the net within 20 min of the start of the game sunday night Thailand time, 3 went in like a flash of light. I was thrilled of course and the game ended 6-1 with Spurs interim manager given his marching orders monday morning. https://wwos.nine.com.au/football/news-2023-tottenham-players-offer-to-refund-their-fans-after-loss/c3e6d9a8-1c74-4fb8-b02d-5f9c080b80a6 the players were so embarrassed they have decided to refund all traveling Tottenham supporters who went to the game the cost of the tickets and i believe travelling expenses, if you go by the article the refunds are going out today. I think i should start a class action on the Demons for 20 years of S............H...........I............T....... play, cumulating in 1984 where we won just one game and that was by a fluke at the western oval when i think it may have been Robbie Brownlow kicking a rushed goal in the last seconds of the game to get us over the line by a point, and not to mention the record score kicked at Arctic park by Fitzroy over us an absolute disgrace to witness and has left physiological scares that still have not mended. Me i have high standards so why have i put myself through torture? only god knows, well i did take on the Hawks as a second team there for a number off years that helped me stay sane.... Anyway even this weeks game.....like im all doom and gloom untill maybe the last 10 min when it looks impossible the Tigers can come back...hey take the GF i thought we had had it 10 min into the last quarter, i was sitting like a stunned mallet on the sofa when the barrage started...but there was also a lot off pain in 88 and 2000 both GF's getting our arses kicked so hard you hide your scarf and scraped off your team stickers from your car the thrashings were so bad.... Yes id like to get my membership fees reimbursed thanks very much......

Well mr TM if you check who your played....Blues, Crows, Pies, Dogs, Swans now Demons only Dogs not in the 8, (well Swans tumbled out this week) if not for the inclusion of Maxie Gawn M Hibbert and Jake the snake Leaver this week i would have been heavily tempted to pick the Tigers.. And were playing like a level 3 Girls net ball team from the South island of NZ, from 5 games only Grundy is slowly moving towards his elite status while Leaver is at All Aussie standard everyone else is still on last seasons end of season trip.....you dont mention Hunter around me ok? what were they thinking...

Friday Funnies on Tuesday because im off to Phuket tomorrow morning....then next week sometime will need to face Jomtien immigration to say, "hey fellas im back and supply 10 photo copies of everything again..... Round 5 the Saints fall over....Demons continue poor form out of state, Tigers cant win a give me, Suns sink to new lows in not being able to beat Freo, Blues found out, Bomber faithfuls think its a new dawn rising, Bev's head back on the block, Lions reach new heights while Eagles loose there way... Ahhh were back to a friday for games.... Freo vs Dogs......How the mighty have fallen....struggling like you have no idea....Go watch Florida Man on Netflix highly recommended, limited series nothing goes to plan twists and turns all the time, and all over the shop just like these two clubs and much better to watch since Dee the blondie is a honey... Port vs Eagles......Your dog now wears armour Will? This game is as exciting as queing for 30 min at a brand new donut stand at Siam Paragon.....it's true i use to see them Thais do that....these days hardly anyone goes to, and no i never bothered to try one, well its free to que but you pay to watch this crap...from them footy teams... GWS vs Lions..... a little one sided affair, glad i will be too busy to watch this poo....GWS remind me of a man getting his tooth pulled... Cats vs Swans......GF replay....match of the round, yesterdays heroes, is Paddy back to well decent form? Will Lance line up? wont matter.......both teams saving them selves for the second half of the year..... Hawks vs Crows......a mauling about to happen....Crow supporters think the Simon Goodwin days are back....and for a while it should be.....unfortunately if they keep getting better there wont be any hope in hell Simon will be poached back to his home state... Blues vs Saints......the Victoria Bitter came a tumbling down at the bottle shop last weekend.....Blues have this sabi sabi look about them selves....like dont rush.....all in good time....Voss will need to put a cracker up a few here if they want to be sitting 3rd anytime soon... Suns vs North...... Heritage Bank Stadium??? Where this? wont matter......Dewi has lost the plot, just going through the motions, get the sack and a big pay out to leave..then sun deck on the gold coast for the rest of his life. Demons vs Tigers......well the Tigers are just 1-1-3 but they're maned up to some good sides.....Pitiful Demons dont wanna take them to lightly, big upset here im thinking...as we know Simon boys go missing for like 3 or 4 weeks at a time, back under Northey it was common to tumble from 1st to 5th while loosing 5 in a row......If it's raining turn off the telly the boys dont like getting wet...the question on everyones lips is........have the Demons grown up or are they the same....i of course have no faith in them......Look Steve May was playing like a grasshopper....never seen him so bad...and he had a lot of mates, Brayshaw? did a few things in the second half...the entire team is just fronting up...would it be the style of play or they saving themselves for the second half run that Cats and everyone else will be on... Pies vs Bombers......well i hope they puncture the sails of the Bombers....you just dont want to have the red and black army carrying on like cracked tea pots do you....i would like to mention that there were a number of suspect fees given against my rabble in the first half Bombers did have 3 goals 2 behinds from frees in the first half that helped set up the run over...like in the end we didnt deserve to be on the same ground but gees be fair....Im all for the Pies carrying it on for one more week....as all the suffering inflicted by the Bombers came up in a night mare during the game...no one ever kicked us harder when we were down i see reeeeeeeeeeeeeeed......

I feel sorry for you.....my head is starting to spin too.....You been to Jomtien immigration? Officially move to Pattaya earlier this month...so im in the process of changing my address on everything... Be good if you got consistent info hey...

Thank you for words of encouragement Rip.....im notoriously a poor starter in tipping.....aiming for mid table by round 22....breathing right down your neck so to speak....

Thanks for the Pollywaffle............long year for you? not in tipping......the guru of TV you are Poppy Will...

Not an upset.....seen it coming all year....2/3rds of the team in on reputation, but maybe there learned that its not much chop playing at 98% in the first 14 games of the year.... Plus....they didnt like getting their hair wet...and let's not talk about Slacky hey......

Friday funnies on Thursday...... 4 rounds in and Saints on top......someone is floating on air over there in the Fitzroy bottle shop... Cats jump 6 places to 13 and Hawks new cellar dwellers.... All games in Adelaide so for most teams home ground is out the window... Crows vs Blues......a nice one......Voss in familiar territory, here we go here we go...chance for the blues to cement them selves feet first in concrete...the building of a tower.....lay the foundations and remince about the good old days......its thursday night were out and and about im walking you home lala la....LRB for you who dont know... Freo vs the Suns....im bitterly disappointed in Dewie....glad we ended up with Simon now...going no where fast....Love is a Battle ground for both....Yello Submarine for Freo...going down... Tigers vs Swans.....gees how the brave have fallen....Tigers a bit like Wagner just throwing them in....untrained un everything, collecting them from the VFL and jails Swans on the other hand now have the GF blues....hit with injuries again....Were to now St Peter...Flash and the Pan... Lions vs pet food Roos.....honeymoon is over for Clarkson and once glamour boy Todd Viney, better than Jack his son and way better looking to when a lad in the number 12....silky smooth centre man mid use to kick a mile too....too bad hes 50 now North could have used him this weekend....Live and Let die....Wings.... Bombers vs Melbourne.....high flyers red and black feeling loved once again....Sheedy on the outer no one listens to him now.....Demons coming off a gruelling WA visit, cant play away and were away again....struggling..never seen so many players just going through the motions...sure they fell over the line but boy ho boy few are in form...had a quick look at who we play this season and the gods are smiling at us...should be able to mask the poor form for most of the year....Slackly Hunter....my god, kicks dont penetrate shoots them all over the place cant kick more than 30m looks like a Bedouin on that that wing, hardly ever in the right place.....and insulting us with wearing the number 12....Todd Viney's number and after that bad boy Colin Silvia, at least Colin was when he turned up a match winner...also a long accurate raking kicker like Todd....Demons going backwards with Hunter in the team men...Stoned Immaculate....Jim Morrison... Port vs Dogs in a ripper....."No Where Man" the Beatles......that about sums up my review on this game.... Cats vs Eagles.....well it's lucky they dont make pet food out of Eagles....finding there feet......purrrrrrrr... 5 to 1 The Doors.... GWS vs Hawks...."Let it Bleed" Stones....and bleed some more Mitchell will.....sure they will throw the baby and the bath water at this game after last weeks effort but everyones been expecting the Cats to turn up for a while now and when they did they were going to massacre someone... Pies vs Saints......wow.....Class up against adrenaline...."Jane Says" Janes Addiction...love this song...well Jane says .........im done with Sergio, he treats me like a rag doll.......Try again tomorrow....im gonna kick ( the ball) tomorrow....Jane says...have you seen my wig around, i feel naked with out it...if the Saints win im changing teams....

I guess the gather around round is the only way there going to get people to go to sleep city...

Well North's Thomas back in the headlines.....you certainly know who to draft down there at Arden st Fj..... Deleted vid from his social media showing him driving down the road with feet on his Mercedes steering wheel..... Id say they guy will never play with the men again....doesnt even have saw dust between the eyes...its like a big black hole....full of lot's of nothing... Why are all the teams playing in the city of churches this week men? .

Local first, as you know Thais often misrepresent, went to one shop this morning according to google maps it was open but it was not, bought a Deko electric motor bike a few months back same deal no one in Pattaya i could find selling anything that suited me, well one shop but they haven't lived up to what they said they were going to be doing in terms of showroom and service centre, only electric motor bikes that were not something like a Vespa @ 149,000B were the super cheap Chinese ones, patts is cheap charlie heaven you know... No hurry as i have a car and the Deko, this foldable bike i see is heaven sent perfect for when i do some travel, may even off load the Deko if i find it better than expected.

BKK Ebike... https://www.bkkebike.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHXKWOOoTffV7qY52YStu7Poi0zhE7YATMynkLwAt3fCXC9opLTzMchoC0CUQAvD_BwE Failing that Available on Ali Express and i have used that site a lot, 20 inch foldable has plenty of reviews in youtube selling plenty in the US and other places... Smlro S11 26inch also available on AliExpress both bikes around the 28 to 35,000B mark. Also in Us and Europe, still prefer to buy local but hey if i cant find what i like....both bikes fold up thrown in the back of your car, pedal, pedal assist and straight out electric drive. I had a Ebike back in AU though it had the motor at the pedals which is the best way over hub but it only was pedal and pedal assist, it set me back around 75,000B nothing is cheap in Oz....

Demons ditched them for Casey...

Interested in something like this, pedal/pedal assist and full on electric bike all in one, foldable to throw in the back of the SUV when going traveling is a big bonus. I live in the Pattaya area if anyone knows of some place that stocks them can be out of my area, there easy enough to buy on Ali Express but would prefer for obvious reasons to buy locally for parts and service if and when needed. Yes that pic of bike here is foldable with 1000w Lithium battery range up to around 40km on full electric.

I want to know what happened to the fish in my fish tank.....look it's a very long story....like i didnt want any pets and if i did id get a cat, it started one day when i decided to buy a fountain....can you help me Rip? Well the fountain was near a supermarket here in sin city i use to go to a lot when i was down checking up on works...something like that...i ended up buying one when the works were done, she said she would clean it before delivery but i said nahhhhhh..silly me didnt comprehend it was mould on the side...i had big big issues back in au with mould...another story i wont bore you with....anyway after a month i decided i should get some fish to you know eat the mozzie babies born in the water.... some fish jumped out and died...and some when missing...so i buy another 10...started with 10 i might add...well......when i woke up i had mould and it was taking over i didnt want to tip the fish and mouldy water down the drain...im not a killer you know....so i bought a nice fish tank....and another 10 fish...as a few had ummm...disappeared....and i gave away the fountain to my condo manager.... In the end i had 23 fish off various varieties in this tank and it's mesmerising to watch them swim around.....a few days in notice A a few fish are missing so i started counting from that day B one fish in WCE jumper...a yellow one looked pregnant, at first i got excited to think i might get some free fish....2 other fish were following it round....i decided this guy was the culprit so caught him and ....well put him down the drain.... ps i did google the problem....they claim fish will eat other fish.... But fish kept disappearing.....in the end im down to 4 fish......well this week....3 of the same variety who are small.....and one orange yellow one...almost twice the size who i suspected of bing the cannibal....now one of the 3 as i bought 4 of them disappeared like 2 weeks ago, they always stayed close together while big orange was darting around the tank...... This morning go to feed them and big orange is no longer in there....i had been waiting to see who was going to be the last fish swimming around and stick it down the drain....but now im rocked...like i expected it to be big orange.....i take the filter out and clean it just in case it got in there, nope.... Ive blown about 10,000B on the god dam fountain, fish tank, and fish and im over it....fountain is gone.....anyone want 3 fish and a tank?

cant loose then can i?

My first for the year.... Pies were done in the 3rd....them footy commentators had the Pies doing a Lazarath right up to 10 min to go and 30 plus points down... After 10 straight goals Pie players had BEATEN all over their faces.....they the commentators friggin annoyed me....talk about only one team on the ground... Hardwick showed you how to beat them Tigers just didnt have the players to do it but i thought had a go all night... Anyway the GF is played at the G....got to win more than a few on the road...

Not a draw sir.....my crystal ball shows a team with white in the jumper will win... Ps i was very nervous last week.....only got to relax in the last quarter.....i was bobbing around on the sofa for most of the game....Frankies got a bit dirty hey?

Friday Funnies on Thursday.. Disclaimer.....this post is purely bullocks and not intended to be anything else since I'm bottom of the tipping ladder... Lazy Lions in Brisbane this evening.......did they fix the lights? Pies will fly in oooooozing confidence not seen since 1990, well to fix things they got to get misfiring Daniher firing, best thing that ever happened to the Daniher family and Essendon was the fella moving north...now no one at that club to compare him too....like legends uncle Neal and uncle Terry, i recall Terry, scruffy fella at centre half, was a hero, could do things that this bloke cant, Neal was coach of the hapless Demons after career cut short before that a stint at Essendon and Freo as an assistant, the word got out that that Neal was good on the pc and had made some programs that were useful to AFL teams so Demons wanted to be 3rd in line to get for free so hired him for 9 ys, Neal loved his players too much and that brought him undone....i was ready to call his day as early at year 7...but he had his critics early on just like Simon....difference was we got pumped in the only GF Neal got us into.....Anyway im sure Fagan has put a cracker up their backside so it should be a good game to watch today.....home devils away angles.... North vs the Blues....the honeymoon is over for Fj, Blues going about it in a quiet way, getting the notches on the barrel of the gun, doing it quietly, the hysteria will whip up in a few more weeks when there sitting around 2cd or 3rd....meanwhile Clarko will realise his magic wand is running low on battery power....no fast charging available at that antique stadium, gonna have to get the players to take it in turns to power the club with one @ a time peddling the stationary exercise bike modified to power the power points and lights at the club...all down hill from here mr Fj....what was it? March premiers? Crows vs Freo....in Crowland...since ive reported that i dont see Freo doing much this year....you already know what i think......teams that just turn it on here and there might look good on the telly but they dont get to September... Machiavelli Tigers (well once) vs Scrays....still well coached i think, but gees how bad is Lynch? like how much he on? he look like he plays for the Broom Sharks....Rewalt cant spell his name, worth double his weight in gold....love him to death, would like to see Demons offer him a contract when he retires...for what? no idea just think he brings something to the club...and thats it, not to many after that....Bev? well are the players sick of him? this game will answer that question... Saints vs Suns @ Marvel.....that tree that didnt appear last week says it was sorry and will turn up this week....so who's going to crash into it? Adrenalin is a fine natural drug, Saints on a high high high....i will go for the team that has red in its jumper... Essendon vs GWS @ Marvel......put your money on Hogan for 5, the giant will awake.....wide bodied and monkey like arms....will be the difference no? since its a home game for Bombers they wont be wearing there away jumper....thank god for that... Game of the round, Eagles in WA over the Air sick Demons....cant travel...was shown up in Brisbane a few weeks ago, got lucky last week with Franklin and mate spraying the goal posts to keep us in the game....not to mention May on his belly a few times...WCE and Will get a chance to see future recruit in action....Van Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyan, only fella that turned up for us last week....3 stirring goals, playing a la Jackson role (WHO?) back forward and ruck........they will pencil him in for end of contract and start saving first round draft picks for the kid.....should be worth more than Egg by the way Will.....Much better looking too....has that pretty boy Perth blonde look the girls in Melbourne love....tough game for Demons this week.....can we put our demons to rest and actually win on the road? In the "what ever happened to" game of the round, Cats at home to Hawks....if there ever was a game that the Hawks ever needed dule coaches Kennedy and Jeans on the sideline not to mention 28 year old Mathews and Tuck on the ball its this game....ever seen a nasty cat when you tease it with not giving its food to them>>>>>>>>? i use to tease my mums cat and it scratched me a few times....them claws can go in deep you know... Wow i almost forgot Sydney vs Port up there in harbour town, this really should be the game of the round....both smarting from getting done like dinners last week when more was expected from them......we seen what Port can do after a hiding....and we know Swans dont often loose 2 in a row.....so im going for the team with white in its jumper....If Port should loose do you think Kotch will have his men out there looking for a new coach? im of the mind if Port dont look competitive Kotchie will pull the trigger early to try and save the season.....since im last in tipping you can rest assured im wrong and he will survive and get a new deal mid term....

Wife would have to make herself known and hire a solicitor, costs likely to run in to 100,000's of $ which could come out of the estate if she wins...thats assuming the kids fight it which they would. Law in AU if wife is seen as a legitimate beneficiary would likely obtain equal cut of estate, lot of press in AU over the years when one child cut from a will only to fight it and end up getting a cut. So no she isnt going to get the lot also no guarantee that costs would come out of the estate, if hes worth a lot kids could drag it out for ever, solicitor is likely to ask her for fees up front which is likely to put her off once she realizes the costs of doing business in AU. If i found myself in a position i was dealing with my fathers greedy widow id fight and drag it out, shes going to in-cure a lot of costs before there is a resolution hopefully that will do the trick.
