This will be interesting, though I have no idea what being wailed on involves.

“He took me to the ground,” Jacobs said by phone from the back of an ambulance. “I think he wailed on me once or twice ... He got on me and I think he hit me ... This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me in reporting on politics.”

Karma or what ?

It was strange to see Melania Trump in Saudi Arabia tossing her lovely hair with careless abandon.
When she met the Pope her hair was shrouded in a black lace contraption.

Did she get her wardrobe mixed up, or was it a subtle two fingered salute to the Saudis ?

This conversation started in another thread, but this seems to be getting a little broader than the scope of the original thread, so I thought maybe we could make this a more generalized thread.

I'm not sure which of his films allowed him to perform without a weapon of some sort but I can think of none. I dislike films which incorporate weapons so I'm the wrong person to ask when it comes to his film roles.

A fun time of year: the chicks are out of the next and following their parents to the feeders in the garden. I had a family of Great Tits here an hour or so ago - about 6 chicks. Hard to count as they were hopping about.

Something else that is really popular in my garden is the birdbath. Sparrows, tits, robins, starlings, magpies and pigeons have all used mine both for washing and drinking. In general it's good for their health to be able to get a decent wash (and they are very... [Read More]

Trump fired FBI Director Comey. There is a big argument. I think it's part of the Feds' plan - "Drain the swamp". To have a FBI Chief of their own. The last FBI director who left the post without fulfill the full ten years term is Louis Freeh. Both left on my case, I think.

Louis Freeh's case: I (Kat Sung) am the target of the Feds. They plotted to eliminate me in a framed drug case with Chinese secret police. The Feds... [Read More]

Rule of Power no 1 (Or somewhere close): Do NOT leave the centre of power when you have enemies plotting at home, unless you take the enemies with you.

Theoretically things should move fast in the US now the President is out the way. However Trumpolini has shown an ability to confound precedent. His supporters seem to show no ability to see fault in him and there are a lot of them.

I have just prepared a Jerusalem Artichoke salad. I took a Jerusalem Artichoke, peeled it, shredded it, put it on a plate and squeezed a lemon over it.

I have no idea why I do these things but I thought I might ask the panel whether this dish can improve and if so, how.

Rebel Wilson, Hollywood actress, returns to Melbourne to testify in defamation trial.

I've heard it said that no publicity is bad publicity.

This trial may prove to be the exception. How the complainant can take exception to the events she's complaining about will no doubt emerge but so far I can't guess.

I came across this TV mini-series last night and found it fascinating.

It's about Jacob and his twelve sons (Genesis chapter 34) but is told from the perspective of his one daughter (Dinah) and, although it's a Biblical subject the treatment is human, straightforward and it does not gloss over or attempt to justify - the end of the second episode covers the son's massacre of the men of the city of Shechem.

Has anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Melons (Cucumis melo), or more specifically muskmelons, are part of the Cucurbitaceae family with watermelons, cantaloupes, and timun suri. Just like other plants in the family, muskmelons vine but do not ‘climb up’. Unsupported, muskmelons would just vine all over the soil surface.



The ideal place to farm muskmelons is at 250-700 m above sea level.... [Read More]

We can discuss what emerges once the trials are over.

The police seem incapable of preventing units from going rogue. It happened to the Birmingham Six, it's happened since, and the fault is institutional. Nothing exists in the police system to proactively prevent corruption.
