They look ready for the front line.

That was last Saturday (saw some of it on TV), but would not have been affected by closure of those three rail lines.

I forgot. It's Moomba week as well.

The stupid legislation to mandate two days per week work from home is to include small business. So expect to have to go to the barman's house for a drink, or the mechanic's house to get your car fixed. My son works from home 3 days a week, someetimes more, and it's a pain in the arse. There are not enough desks at his office, so he has to book a desk to go in. This law is meant to save families $110 a week. On the weekend of the F1 Grand Prix and opening round of the AFL season, the brilliant, wonderful, magnificent ALP had decided to close the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale railway lines. My daughter is furious. Her team plays on Saturday night.

Trump was addressing a crowd in the White House when he turned and said "Don't you love these gold drapes? I chose them." Then he went on to say that Melania isn't keen on the ballroom, she doesn't like the noise. Meanwhile she sat in a chair marked President USA, addressing the United Nations.

This one may be a bit tricky, because there is no punctuation or spaces. Right tee Tie tee Left tee Lucy ie: Righty tighty, lefty loosey = screwing a nut on or off.

Saw a video this morning of Hegseth saying this is not about regime change. He repeated it twice, regardless of what DJT has been saying. It's about getting their hands on Iranian oil.

The wife of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from injuries sustained in the bombing which killed her husband. Social media in America is calling for Barron Trump to be enlisted in the military and sent into battle. However, he has a medical out. He is 6ft 9in tall, and the height limit for military recruitment is 6ft 8in. He is too tall to fit in confined spaces like tanks and aircraft.

Old German joke: a man goes to a newsstand every day and looks at just the front pages of all the newspapers. The guy behind the stand asks him what he's looking for. "An obituary". "But Herr Mien, obituaries aren't on the front page!" "The one I'm looking for will be.""

In a later update, the Ayatollah's son was not killed, but his son-in-law and daughter-in-law were killed.

No regime change has resulted in improvement.

Petrol prices have already gone up, and are likely to climb further with hostilities affecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
