Here I was all set to knock out a Christmas column full of cheer and bonhomie but life, or more accurately, Daily Life has intervened.
I normally disapprove of intra-media byplays but Fairfax Media’s Daily Life section has become so full of cranky third wave feminism that someone needs to hold it up to the light. Among this waste of ink and kilobyte street corner psychobabble, comes a contribution from self described feminist Polly Dunning who tells her harrowing tale of giving birth to a shame boy. The good news is she’s slowly getting over it.
I’m not allowed to swear anymore, at least not at volume but this is sorely testing my already fragile grip on self-control.
At first blanch this was merely another addition from women who have recently given birth and have come to believe that having done so, they have unlocked the secrets of the universe. But on further reading this is a tale of a woman not just at war with men but also her own male child.
Full column here.

Back telling more lies again ah?
I thought you may of learnt from the many bloggers tearing into you on detention policies and asylum matters
correcting you on “where is your facts” . You still sour when truth hits you hard and fast on days when splattered over the media .
Go have a rest for a while if truth hurting you!
Jean Baptiste – 8.45am. Thanks for the waffle but do you think you will get around to reading and responding to the arguments he makes?
Never mind the ongoing rorting of the “entitlement” system. Minister Tudge just back from holidays does NOT believe anyone who has had a debt notice from Centrelink believes it to be wrong. This guy is FN delusional with evidence mounting as many as 20% of the notices are incorrect. Where is Bassman? this is baaad government. They are lucky the dangerous fruitcake trump will take coverage of their terrible efforts in government.
Strike a light!
All this puerile salivating over a few pollies occasionally getting up to a bit of harmless personal extra curricular activity while simultaneously and studiously attending to the never ending demands of their electorates as well as being on call twenty four seven to ensure the arduous work of government is undertaken unabated is a clear indication that the kids haven’t yet managed to even scale the political bassinet rails.
The sheer humbug that passes for acceptable critical comment in this regard is enough to make one puke.
Hear hear Toaster-let them live it up!

No 7 remove “not” from above.
Ah Rodent, I love it when you offer a correction on your previous blogs.
Brilliant, it sort of gives them a sense of grammatical authenticity.
Keep it up mate, lest some smart arse have a go at your linguistic gymnastics.
And P.S. , I’m your friend mate.

Yes, I saw your 10.27pm note with the youtube link and I worry about you JB; sitting up late at night watching all that scarey stuff, apparently on your own. Tell me JB, when your engrossed in all those tarted up images of overlaid fire, brimstone and paddling polar bears, do you furiously chomp away on your popcorn and get to the bottom of the bowl before coming up for air?
Talk about “conspicuous consumption”, phew!
But I must give a plug for Hollywood, they sure know how to make entertaining life-like docos me old mate, eh.

What he is talking about is when you withdraw money – Say $1000 in cash you would only receive say $980 depending on the rate set at the time. Similarly, when you deposit $1000 only $980 would go into your bank account.
This guy’s paper is being taken seriously.
This is what I call voodoo economics.
Nothing new JS, it has been the case in Japan for a number of years, called negative interest rates, or the price you pay for bank security of your money.
JB. { the rule book}
Out of time scratching around on rules of engagement . One comes mind,…heeee is the men vs the women.
Ok,..rule 1 , When she displays in front of your eyes a new dress,make sure you tell her she looks lovely ,fantastic.
2,..When she feels a little down while you enjoying a beer or some head-banging music in the shed with the local yobbo mates , P..ss them off home ,drop what you doing and take her out for lunch and a drink.
3,..If your leading loving lady wants a good time to finish the day,take her out and impress her in her choice of entertainment because rewards may follow later home with a nice quiet bottle of wine , then ,, better things later to come.
4,.If you spend too much times with the mates on golf and fishing , expect the lady to say ,Love,..I am going out with the girls tonight.
5 ,, Remember the old saying when things not good at home , you going to the pub or boozing on somewhere, watch your mates ,they at times may be your worst enermies comes to sneakies on your women.
6 ,, If the kids want to burn you out on sport occasions , sometimes mum might want a good rest at home after hrs of house duties .
7,..If mates turn up at the door wanting to drag you away from domestic duties , scoot them out the door as this will not sustain good relationships at home ,
8,..If the wife asks ,”Darling can you please come here and undo my strap at the back?” get rid of that beer as fast as you can and jolt to attention cause this appears good fortune you may encounter as she is in the mood for love affection and other plans
L ets hope JB the Rodent can point you into the good time ahead.
…and I must admit
Rat’s wife is a luverly lady
Richard Cohen of the SMH, Mr Insider, puts the slipper into President Elect Trump with and article titled “How To Remove Donald Trump From Office”, just 9 days out from the inauguration on 20th January. Interesting times ahead for the USA indeed and the world who are watching and asking “Is Trump up to the Position of POTUS?” or has he done the best “Used Car Sale” ever seen!

I think we have all settled down lately running out of gas .We now have possibly qualified to comply on the employment front into Ashton’s circus. Just trying to weed out the outlaws lately from the wifes side while trying to find time to lecturer JB on his rule book he asked for .My guests are OK , just joking .My pet Magpies are little frustrated missing the domestic attention , now departed back over into the trees across the road at night .I feed them meat balls and chips that they love plus some Christmas ham they love left over .My backyard wild life birds get the royal treatment but low maintainence back into the trees at night. My pet pigeon “Spiro” now deceased, gone to the heavens , life wasn’t meant to be easy for him,..says big Malcom Frazer.
My 3 Blue tongue lizards well fed on snails , low maintainence once again ,
Cheers .
OK,..lets look for this rule book for JB.
