The tale of Paddy and Bessie

A farmer named Paddy had a car accident. He was hit by a truck owned by the Eversweet Company. In court, the Eversweet Company’s hot-shot solicitor was questioning Paddy. ‘Didn’t you say to the police at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine?’ asked the solicitor. Paddy responded: ‘Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I’d

Romance isn’t dead

This is an interesting twist on how stuff works out. This “glamorous” lady was doing something naughty to her bloke as they were driving home from a night out, let’s just say it’s impolite to talk with your mouth full. It might have distracted him just a tad which caused him to crash. Yep, it

Time

Below is the opening to an essay I have been thinking about recently. It’s about time and how we waste time. I don’t know where this essay will go but for sure it will go into the great deaktop folder of my weird thoughts. “Once in a lifetime, twice in one day.” Is a line

Mick’s Musings 3 – The net zero debate

There is something about the way of the world with the “green revolution” that continues to be remorselessly pushed by governments and elites globally. It gets a little bit of oxygen occasionally and then is pushed aside. That something is the sheer hypocrisy of the agenda. Here in Australia the push to renewables, reducing carbon

Flood Photos July 2022

We have had a bit of rain the past week or so and experienced a bit of flooding. I found some aerial photos to show the extent of the flooding. The water is receding now, but still expect to be slightly cut-off for the next week. Can’t go south more than a few hundred metres

Mick’s Musing 2

I looked out the backdoor this morning and the paddocks across the rail line are more underwater than yesterday, almost an inland sea now. Must have something to do with the rain. By lunchtime the highway and other roads have been cut by water and the house on the mound is not looking real good

Mick’s Musing 1

I read a lot of blogs and maybe I’m a glutton for punishment as I read all sorts of posts from a myriad of views and beliefs. As simple and comfy it would be to just read the stuff I align with, it would be a fragile comfort. I read a wide spectrum and have

Music defines the times

The music of every era represents those times. The 1940’s was one of hope in darkness when so many faced certain death. Particularly if you were on the front line. Soldiers were determined to be able to be in battle for 240 days before their minds were totally destroyed. The good news was most of

Just a thought

I was reading the news and the bile was rising in my throat. Not a new thing but sadly familiar with media in general. Then it was on to politicians and their love/hate relationship with media. I reckon it would be fantastic if a politician was giving a press release and none of the journos

Mansplaining Mince

This is for Judy Campbell. I was being cheeky and told her I should write a cookbook and call it Dude Food and Mansplaing Mince. At the time I ripped out an explanation of mince at her behest. I reckon there could be some fun to be had with this so here it goes. Mince
