The first civil aircraft registrations in Australia were prefixed G (for Great Britain) followed by AU. Full details here.

The first ones that should be investigated and jailed or deported are the Imams and other clerics at the mosques, sprouting and advocating this vile propaganda.

Shortly after Gerry met his demise, Paddy also turned up at the cliff with a cardboard box. He walked to the edge of the cliff, opened the box and took out a hen, He grabbed hold of the hen's legs, and leapt off the cliff. Unfortunately, he suffered the same outcome as Gerry. Joe looked down, shook his head, and said, "Oi ain't goin' fook'n hen-glidin' neither."

Albanese was giving a press conference outlining his visit to the hospitals with the Governor General. I can't believe that, mid speech, Channel 7 cut in and said, "We'll have to leave the Prime Minister there, the cricket is about to start." This was at 9:30! The cricket didn't start till around 10:30.

Two men walk into a pet shop in Dingle, they walk over to the bird section and Gerry says to Joe, 'Dat's dem.' The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. 'Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere,' says Gerry. The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box. Joe and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the Connor Pass. At the Connor Pass , Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, 'Dis looks like a grand place.' He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff. Joe watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead! Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Joe shakes his head and says, 'Fook dat. Dis budgie jumping is too fook'n dangerous for me!'

The father was the one ambushed from behind. The son was shooting from the bridge.

Mr Al-Ahmed was shot in the shoulder and arm while hiding behind a tree shortly after confronting the gunman, and remains in care at St George Hospital. 'He's having multiple surgeries, he's got five gunshot wounds. It's a serious injury – far more serious than has been reported,' his former migration lawyer Sam Issa, who visited him on Monday, told The Australian. 'At this stage, he says he has no feeling in his arm. I'm no medical doctor but he said to me that it seems like one of the bullets may have hit a nerve.' Mr Issa says doctors had yet to remove a bullet from the back of Mr Al-Ahmed's shoulder as of Monday night, describing the injury as 'weird'. 'Given the fact that he was facing the shooter, how did he get a bullet in the back of his shoulder? It's strange,' Mr Issa said. There are fears that he could lose his arm. 'He said he'd do it again,' Mr Issa said.

Now, it has been revealed the 44-year-old - previously reported as being a fruit shop owner - has actually run Cigara tobacconist and specialist convenience store in Sutherland, in Sydney's southern suburbs, since 2021. Mr El-Ahmed is a Muslim who arrived in Australia in 2006 from Syria. He sells gifts, toys, board games, leather bags, and mobile phones and accessories from his shop on Old Princess Highway. More than 12,000 people have already contributed to a GoFundMe that has been set up by Bondi-Junction based business, Car Hub, to help support Mr El-Ahmed in the wake of the terror attack. Among the donors is one of the world's richest men, Jewish investment banker Bill Ackman, who has contributed $100,000. He is the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management.

Newer information has confirmed that the gunmen were involved in terrorist activities, travelling overseas for training, spending time training before the attack and telling family they were going fishing. According to Tony Burke, they has an ISIS flag in their vehicle. However, they only had single action firearms, not automatics, which kept deaths lower than might otherwise have been. But the father came to Australia in 1987, the son was born here, and they had only been on the periphery of ASIO investigations.

Most men have it wrong about the average size Dr Karan Rajan, the internet’s go-to medical myth-buster, says many guys have been misled for years. Citing a 2014 global penis size review, he revealed: “The study revealed that the average length of a flaccid penis was 3.6 inches and the average length of an erect penis was 5.165 inches. I hope that makes you feel better.

🔥 TRUMP DECLARES WAR ON FOREIGN NAMES — ORDERS ALL STATES AND CITIES TO BE RENAMED IN “GOOD OLD ENGLISH” 🇺🇸💥 WASHINGTON — What was expected to be a routine White House press briefing exploded into absolute chaos after President Donald Trump unveiled what aides later described as a “historic linguistic correction plan”: a sweeping order demanding that every U.S. state, city, river, and landmark with a foreign-origin name be renamed using English words only. “We are an English-speaking kingdom,” Trump announced, visibly agitated. “That should be reflected in the names of our states, cities, towns, rivers — and damn it, the dams too. Lakes, ponds, swimming pools. All of it.” Gasps rippled through the press room as Trump cited his “previous success” in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, claiming it proved he had the authority to “fix geography.” When a reporter pointed out that America itself is derived from Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, Trump waved it off. “That’s ridiculous. Everybody knows America is an English word. That’s why I named it the United States of America.” Then came the line that detonated social media. “Every day until the end of my next three terms,” Trump warned, “I will announce another word change.” The first target: Texas. Trump admitted he didn’t yet know what to rename it — but insisted the letters T and X must remain. “Maybe Texting,” he suggested. “Texas is a foreign word. Totally intolerable. How did Texans — or Texters — allow that?” When informed that Texas originates from the Caddo language, meaning “friend” or “ally,” Trump appeared genuinely baffled. “I never heard of that language. Cat-hole, did you say?” After being corrected, Trump lashed out, calling reporters “stupid,” “terrible,” and “seditious,” while dismissing Indigenous languages entirely. The briefing spiraled further when a reporter noted that Trump itself traces back to the German name Drumpf. Trump responded by chanting “Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,” insisting it was biblical proof that English had always existed. When corrected, he accused the press of never reading what he called the “New Tantamount.” Asked if Melania would be required to change her foreign name, Trump confirmed she would — rejecting “Melanie” as insufficiently elegant. “I suggested Maria. Just like the mother of our Lord.” Moments later, Trump declared Jesus spoke English, dismissed Aramaic as “Arabic nonsense,” and was finally escorted out by aides and Secret Service. As he left, he shouted a list of upcoming targets: “San Antonio! Amarillo! Rio Grande! Laredo! San Jacinto! El Paso! Colorado River! Then the state of Colorado! Ohio! Florida! Indiana!”

I know this is one of the most momentous things to happen in Australia for many years, but it gets a bit much with the TV stations abandoning all other programming and running multiple repeats of the same footage and interviews.

Ahmed el-Ahmed showed incredible self control in not firing on the gunman when he had the gun, at least in the legs to prevent him from running away.

With the father dead, we may never know what caused the gunmen to take the action they did. Was it purely ideological hatred of Jewish people, or could it be that they have lost numerous family members in Gaza through Netanyahu's genocide that tipped them over the edge. Netanyahu has been charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024. And yet he has the nerve to lecture us, I don't condone their actions in any way, but one can understand their reaction when these IDF actions continue unabated, while the world heaps pity on the Jews. We condemn Putin for trying to grab territory from Ukraine, but say it is OK for Israel to grab territory on the West Bank.

This is the fan I bought, only mine is black. About 9 inches high. $14. 3 speeds. Keeps the face and neck nice and cool. Rechargeable battery, plugs into a USB port or charger.

Here is the group around the barbie. Many didn't/couldn't come, particularly from the Thursday and Friday groups.

You weren't invited.

The last couple of days have been quite hot. So much so that I went and bought a small face fan that can sit beside the computer. Today was our Men's Shed Christmas barbeque. It is overcast and the wind is so cold it would freeze the medals off a brass general. Fortunately the snags had been cooked by 10:45, so I had mine and was home by midday. My hanky was so wet you could wring it out.

Your are entitled to your opinion. As far as I'm concerned, these useless pieces of shit are not worth worrying about. Pure oxygen thieves. The world is better off without them. I know the world is concerned what is happening to the Jews and the fallout from Oct 7, but who is caring about the thousands who have been killed and injured in Gaza with the endless attacks by IDF. Those people (ordinary Gazans, not Hamas) are entitled to live as well, and their relatives are suffering like the Jews. Religion has so much to answer for. It's supposed to make us better people. The Bondi hero has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. Regarded around the world as a great hero.
