This morning's crap surf was seriously ameliorated by the stunning golden sunlight bouncing off the escarpment, and the silence only punctuated by the softest sea breeze and the sea's own weird rhythm.

Take it to the poetry and life observations sub-forum thanks champ.

Funnily enough, I was going for my morning run yesterday and I said to my companions, "It's a real rosy-fingered dawn today" and one asked "What does that mean?". I said, "Oh, I think it comes from a poem, just a way of describing the dawn."
Turns out it's actually from Homer.
Anyway, I'm all for the poetry sub-forum, was just re-reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner this morning.

And if I had any companions out on the waves this morning, it would have been a good time to drop a reference to the wine-dark sea.

Wait until a cloudy winter's day when it will become "the snotgreen sea, the scrotum-tightening sea."

Actually sub-forums are where threads go to die, so I withdraw my support for the poetry subform. Poetry struggles enough for relevance these days.

It’s a pretty weak tactic if this is their go to for trying to balance out their stuff ups.

Must admit I don’t know a heap about the Palestinian government setup. Is Hamas an arm of the government or are they more like a militia? Or is it a bit like the IRA and Sinn Fein

Hamas have de facto control of Gaza. Their rivals Fatah are in power in the Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank.

New York Times is reporting that Rogan actually got a $200M deal from Spotify. I knew it was more then $100M but didn’t think it was double. Good for him

 

[Shinboner1]

Watching port intraclub and they were talking about the renovations happening at the club.
Apparently got a restaurant coming in that's overlooking the ground where you can get a feed and watch training or AFLW.
God I wish we had somewhere to eat at the club.
They've even got a museum coming in.

 

[Ligma]

Omg do you wanna complain about everything

That's huge money

 

[Val Keating]

Sure is.

 

[Shinboner1]

Sure is.

No wonder they don't want to cancel him.
Knowing Rogan he's probably got a clause in there for all of it in case of termination.

 

[ferball]

Its ridiculous. He could spend $150 million bucks doing something worthwhile for the world and still spend the next 30 years hooked up to an IV cocaine drip while he lies on a bed next to a line of hookers.

He does. They’re not allowed to vet his guests or anything. They knew what they were getting though, nothing that’s come out is new.

Ahhh the old B&S.

Many hazy memories of B&Ss in my youth.

Just drove past one of my old B & S happy hunting grounds at Conargo.

Fine memories from a long time ago.

While I was watching the intra on my iPad the kids were watching YouTube on the telle…bloody Craig Kelly has an add on there about Japan injecting people with a microchip if they use too much toilet paper at public toilets (some other rubbish that I missed before that) and the Australian government is using facial recognition to track Australians. One of my kids (aged 8) asked me if they’ll get injected with a microchip if they use toilet paper. Honestly I’m pretty annoyed with this campaigner.

The Long Range Acoustic device is a real weapon. The VIc coppers had something that looked like one at one of those riots back in winter.

You'll see a picyure of it here on the sales page of the company that makes them.
