    Local unleaded now $3.14. Glad I filled up earlier in the week at about $2.65. That’s quite a jump. Will be filling up on the way to work at the new “all over the greater Brisbane area” price of $2.39. Funny how it’s all about the exact same price just about everywhere. But y’know what, I don’t think we really need to even mention the price of fuel from here on in as it’s just going to get dearer and there’s nothing we can do about that.

    However, there is a chance I may complain about it again soon, let’s see.

    Apart from that it’s wet, but at least it’s Friday so there’s that. Enjoy your day.

      My prediction as of last week was $4/litre by end of June, and a nuke launched by the orange man by the end of the year.

        Daaaaaammmnnnnn.

        I hope for neither of those things.

        I sincerely don’t think a nuke will be used. It’s far too over the top, and the rest of the world will condemn the USA. Whatever good that would do.

        Crazy times.

          Everything they’ve done has been “too over the top”, but no one has had the balls to tell him to fuck right off.

          I do not believe there is a single yank with sufficient spine standing between orange man and launch button to stop him.

            With the utmost respect, I believe that’s incorrect.

            ( Hey wooo that rhymes…)

            There’s plenty that know he’s a complete buffoon. And as we both know he’s not a standalone guy. There’s plenty of fuck wits right behind him, or in front. He’s a Muppet and a puppet.

            But yes he’s damn dangerous. You and I both know this is sheer madness. How it’s all happened ( that he’s “in charge” ) is a damn mystery. I hate the orange fuck more than I’ve ever hated any person that I have never met.

            But there’s real die hard Generals etc that are deeply in love ( beholden, involved, faithful etc…) with America and their flag. Those old school guys can see the orange clown for what he is. Obviously currently there’s bugger all they can do about it.

            I kinda believe and sincerely hope somebody DOES do something about it ( him ) . Heck I’ve had a few fantasies about going over there myself. Become some kind of international hero or at worst martyr.

            Y’know, remembered for a very long time. But anyway, even if agent orange is removed, there’s a big dinosaur movement chugging along right there that isn’t going away anytime soon.

            Bloody chaos.

              That’s the problem though, everyone is waiting for someone else to do something about it.

              And he just keeps doing stuff you shouldn’t do.

              And anyone in any position to stop him is just rolling over and assuming someone else will stand up.

              All this could have been avoided if more people along the way told him to stuff his demands up his jumper.

        His name is actually Stonky because when he was a pup he was quite the chonker and would stonk around the pen like nobodies business. Well his ACTUAL name is Soli (Soliloquy) because he was a single pup litter… But I think the only place that name is used is on his registration.

        The wife has been watching a bit of Bridgerton of late so I’ve started calling the puppies by Bridgerton suitable names. Lord Stonkington had the pleasure of escorting Madame Von Schnitzel to the Summers End beach walk last weekend. They were chaperoned by Madame Le Poppe (Hairy Poppins) so it was all very proper, even if Lad du Sausage (Boris) was quite vocal about his disagreement with their being seen out together. It caused quite the scandal at the time.
