Nev, we do.

It's called....

The Men's Shed.

 

SWMBO tells me that the Big Red Bash at Birdsville is a therapy programme for delinquent oldies.

Bl@@dy long way to go to be dusty and hot. though.  Nev

There was a documentary about a smart nurse who took some diabetic indigenous on walkabout. They got better each day. This would be no surprise to you guys, but it sure proved to me about how nature plus fresh air plus exercise was good for you.

THEY can't cope with White man MUCK food  (Salt, sugar and fat) and crap wine, as well as we do.. Not that we do that well either. Nev

They throw All that " white mens  " rubbish, ( wrapping material ).  Onto the ground. No binning it for them.

From Peta Credlin's Facebook page.

 

Jacinta Price has just delivered a magnificent speech to Parliament.  It was brilliant, she did not hold back - 'we are all Australians, we don't need a voice you have 11 Indigenous MPs here.  The violence within remote communities is black on black, which the activists want to ignore,'  she did not hold back  - it was just brilliant.

Who in their right mind would read anything Peta Credlin said?

Murdoch’s media doesn’t produce news, it produces audiences. It makes money by selling this audience to sponsors and advertisers.

Nutrition is not big in stone-age diet planning. Even as a kid, I remember looking with horror at Aboriginal mothers and their kids making a meal of sweet biscuits and sugary soft drink. They had the same access to nutritional facts as we had, which wasn't much in the 50's.

They all would have long since died from diabetes is my guess. (The whitefellers died from heart disease caused partly by smoking.)

Just why there is no health-tax on sugar is a clear indication of corruption in my considered opinion.

Here's a bit of trivia...  a weeks wages used to only buy a half-teaspoon of sugar.  I dunno just when that was, it must have been before sugar cane plantations.

The sugar industry, Coca Cola, MacDonalds… all have spent up big to torpedo every attempt to tax sugar and junk food.

It’s not quite as easy to buy politicians in Australia as in the US, but money talks here too.

Red, I quite like Peta Credlin. But the fact that she was a great supporter of Tony Abbott is sure a negative.

Why is it that right-wing extremists are so often listened to? We must have a built-in soft spot for their nonsense.

[octave]

Of course she was a great supporter of Abbott, she was his chief of staff and then there was that rumor about them which I wont repeat because I don't have solid evidence.  Credlin is a right wing Sky news commentator, so personally i have no time for her right wing BS.

Whether or not anything ever happened between them, there was no doubt she had an unhealthy influence over him.

Getting back to feral animals.

 

A feral cat got skittled on my road into town, and foxes have been run over as well. The strange thing is that the crows will eat fox, but the cat is untouched. I wonder if even the blow flies are interested.

[spacesailor]

But the cats make.

GREAT

Chicken Curry.

[red750]

Just purr-fect.

[old man emu]

Used to be the main ingredient in Chicken Chop Suey.

[nomadpete]

Kitten Chop Sui?

Hmmmmm. Nice!

[Marty_d]

[Jerry_Atrick]

No sympathy from me

[nomadpete]

Just trying to let you know that cats DO have a purpose.

 

At mealtime!

DOGS Were Bred for the times of starvation !.

Feed them ' table scraps, & when there was nothing On that table. 

Dogs became " life saver,s " .

Just don't eat their livers.  Some Antarctic explorers learned that the hard way.

That story inspired an episode of New Tricks, when a former Antarctic expeditioner used them to poison his wife.
