Two other stories at the top of tonight's news highlight some of the inconsistencies with the treatment of whiltes and aboriginies. First there was the aboriginal woman gaoled without bail for being drunk and drugged on a train, and whose pleas for help in the cell were ignored and she died of a stomach problem. Then the guy who was "next level drunk", got in his 4x4 to get more beer, and backed over his mate of 25 years and killed him. Allowed out on bail. Notice the difference?

I heard Warren Mundine say that the referendum is a waste of millions which would be better spent trying to solve the problems. He believes The Voice will have little effect, as it was tried previously with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Commission which was abandoned a few years ago.

Same here. That's why the current ad campaign with Bon Jovi's "Livin on a Prayer". The guys in the blue ute: Hey guys, I gotta wizz, eh? Again?

Playing that one to death.

Bill Gates was seen at the Australian Open. He can afford the $3000 for front row seats, but did he pay?

BTW, he's in Australia to stop cows farting. A company he has an interest in has developed a supplement for cattle which reduces the Methane they generate. Got to get greenhouse gases under control.

The five African-American police officers charged with second degree murder for the bashing death of a black youth, Tyre Nichols (pronounced Ty-ree). Causing anti-police riots in America. Punched, kicked, used baton and tazor.

One day, a man was dragged to the cinema by his wife who wanted to watch a romantic comedy.
Half an hour into the film,
the man felt a nudge in his elbow.
“What an outrage,” his wife murmured to him.
“The person sitting in front of us is sleeping!” the woman said, clearly offended.
Her husband was fairly annoyed.
He replied:
“You woke me up to tell me that?”

You might be surprised at how many cars have been designed with twin engines, disregarding EV/ICE hybrids.

Here is one of those slideshow type reports listing a number of such examples, many as conversions of popular showroom cars.

Wife"  "Why did you wake up grumpy this morning?"

Husband: "Sorry, I'll let you sleep in tomorrow."

A man is "trapped" and "crushed" inside a public "telescopic" urinal near Trafalgar Square, in central London. The man was working at the Cambridge Circus site and was seriously injured at first. This is what the Metropolitan Police said.

As reported by the Daily Mail emergency services were called to the scene at 13:10 at the intersection of Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road outside the Palace Theatre in London's theatre district.

Emergency teams are struggling to free the man. An air ambulance landed in Trafalgar Square while a large number of ambulances and fire brigade vehicles arrived at the scene of the accident.

What is a telescopic urinal?

The telescopic urinal is a "pop-up" toilet stored underground, that at night is brought to street level for use by people.

I did hear that the number was 25.

July is the one month in the year in which there are no public holidays in any state. (Accordining to the calendar on my iPhone.)

The aboriginal communities don't see it that way when such high numbers of their youth are in jails.

There are high numbers of their youth in jail because there are high numbers of their youth breaking the law, albeit white man's law. 

Commander Data.

Old joke.

Nightcart man was seen rummaging around in one of the buckets.

What are you doing?

My coat fell in.

You wouldn't wear that again, would you?

No, but my lunch is in the pocket.

Coming home from the Men's Shed today we passed a truck which empties Port-a-loos. The sign on the tank read "STOOL BUS".
