LANELESS WORLD DRIVE

What are you on about, you may ask. A trilogy? You may even scoff at the very notion. It's a loose connection, I will admit, and really only applies to this blog. The last two entries,  Fractured Allegiance and  Australia contain these two photographs. Both were a response by myself toward the attitude of the Fresh Food People toward Australia Day. Or more correctly, the upper brass who are in thrall to special interest groups who they consult and hand over their backbone in order to appear more inclusive, while alienating the majority. Something must have happened as a result of all this hoo-hah, with Woolworths going into damage control as the South African born CEO, Bradford Banducci, appeared on various programmes as well as taking out full page newspaper ads. I'm not saying business has been affected because of all this carry on, but the latest Woolworths catalogue has dropped, chock-full of mentions of Australia Day, so it seems to me they're running scared. HAPPY...

Phar Lap and Jim Pike Happy 236th to the greatest country in the world. If you have a predilection for moaning about how ashamed you are about living here, then kindly remove yourself and begone. Out of the kindness of my heart, I'll even make myself available to point you in the direction of the Indian Ocean, if need be, as well as chip in to cover the cost of a pair of floaties in the event of somebody starting a GoFundMe. Long live Australia Day.

announcing the return of this blog on a strictly intermittent basis -  next entry: tomorrow, the entry after that: 2027 or maybe 2039 or possibly a day or two before the week after next

 Ho-hum! Still not a lot going on in this neck of the woods. I would advise you to check out the  My Name Is Stomp  blog instead, that is if that particular place wasn't on hiatus until the new year. Don't let me stop you, though. The latest entry until the changing of the guard on December 31/ January 1 is  new Date (null)⁵⁴ . If the urge reveals itself and starts to become unbearable, then go right ahead and check the place out. You won't be judged for it, I promise.

 The main action can still be found over at  My Name Is Stomp . Nothing to see here.

The main action can be found over at  My Name Is Stomp . If you feel the need to investigate further, I'll see you there.

I suppose this would be better than being the changeling of a fairy with the morals of a gypsy and the hygiene of a hippie.

No, not that Cheeta, you silly monkey. International Cheetah Day  (December 4th)

August the 20th and it's  World Mosquito Day .                                                                                                                                                                Why?

  scene between Joan Blondell and Claire Dodd in  Footlight Parade  (1933) I haven't seen this film in such a long time. Viewing the above clip has given me the urge to get around to rewatching it some time. In fact, all four movies in the collection pictured deserve another airing.

There is the book and there is only the book - documentation, something in your hands to savour, to examine, to hold, to treasure The book is paramount The book is life The book is all-knowing Kindle, be damned!

despite  the sounds of brouhaha as  the voices of dissent surround you are you and you are who you are go forward  go mighty  don't ever stop don't ever give in you are all that matters
