Drinks are free on Friday,s just ask for your tipple and it will be cheerfully supplied,just don,t overindulge and get nasty as we have the best bouncers in town keeping a watchful eye out.

A big week for “THE PUB” as we now ( thanks to MR. Bushfirebill ) joined the ranks of the tweeters or tweeterate or what ever they are called.  https://twitter.com/ThePubBlog.

Join in for all you users and we will grow and improve that as we go along. I am in  the process of trying to link it to the main blog so bear with me on that.

On Another note are there any rugby league supporters that would be interested in joining a footy tipping competition? IF I get enough takers I’ll set something up,Same goes for the AFL.

If we get a comp.up and running I.ll work out a prize for the winner at the end of the season .

A thank you also to the patrons that have offered suggestions on how we can improve the looks/layout of the blog. All suggestions are welcome as we are by no means experts at this and all ideas will be considered.

So Drink up ,Have Fun and remember

  2. I’m just back from picking #1 Son up from the train station, where I was reliably informed by him that at a talk put on by The Whitlam Club at UNSW, featuring Peter Garrett, he stood up and put the question to him,
    “What does the Labor Party stand for?” And upon getting an unsatisfactory answer from the Minister, promptly told him as much!!! 😳

    Still, it might have made him think. 😉

    Oh, and I’m in the middle of eating my Chevlaki. European cevapcici, with tomatoes laden with cracked pepper and rock salt, carrots and lettuce, smothered in tomato sauce and wrapped in a Lebanese flat bread. Yum!

    Take that! Puffy! 😀

    Pffft! THIS is dancing. Dancing after a few gallons of vodka, that is. Even if you’ve had so much to drink you can’t stand up you can still give those thigh muscles a workout.

  5. Oh, and I forgot to add, that the first thing you do is smother the flat bread in Sour Cream. It mixes really well with the tomato sauce. 🙂

  10. Leone,

    It will be a while before I can bend my left leg like that!

    Now for something completely different:

  11. Fiona, on Mack the Knife. The story, not necessarily the song, goes back at least to the Restoration period, Gay, I think, wrote The Beggars Opera.

    Bertolt Brecht rewrote in Germany as The Threepenny Opera. The song was the theme for it. I first heard Louis Armstrong’s version of it. It was called Mack the Knife, but it used to show in brackets, Theme from the Threepenny Opera.

  13. Gorgeous Dunny,

    Indeed. I think it was said that The Beggars’ Opera made Gay rich, and Rich (the theatre owner) gay.

  14. Re Mad as Hell and ‘caretaker Prime minister’ comment- I have lodged a complaint.

    re Mad as hellWednesday 27th February 8pm

    Comments: While comedy is always subjective, facts are not. In week one of Mad as Hell Shaun McCallef refrerred to the Prime minister Julia Gillard, as the ‘caretaker prime minister’. A factual error which I assumed would be picked up and corrected.M/s Gillard is the legitimate and serving prime minister. The caretake convention applies after the Pm visits the govenor general to notify the election date ( usually 5-6 weeks prior to the actual date).
    This week ‘the caretaker prime minister’ was referred to again.
    This is just factually wrong and I would expect a retraction and apology to be issued.

    Got the usual automated reply.

  15. I got an ALP email tonight,from Wayne Swan, asking me to sign up to help with the fight.

    Also it asked if I am interested in joining the ALP. There was also a social media Share button.

    I filled it in and I will see what happens next.

  16. Great post over at The Independent about Media bias- whoich funnily enough only seems to go one way.

  22. I would love to see a Reachtel poll on “How would you feel about Mr Abbott being PM of Australia?”

  23. It is tiresome, Victoria. It’s as bad as putting up with bemused. But face it, we’re going to be under siege for at least another two months.

    All they’ve got are The Polls and absolute control of the MSM. But they’ll try and wring every last drop out of them. We’re very lucky to have a PM who can apparently carry on without letting it affect her personally. It’s awesome character depth.

    The only thing that can possibly beat us is panic among the ranks. Unless they can get enough caucus members to raise the white flag, they’ve got nothing. My guess is that that number of Rudd supporters has hardly moved since the vote a year ago. As long as they hold their nerve. Labor can’t be beaten. They’re just too far ahead on policy development and economic performance, despite all the lies in the media.

    In the meantime, there’s no point in us beating our heads about it. Which is why Friday nights at The Pub is a nice escape from it all.

  24. If I am getting an email like that, it means the ALP is marshalling forces. I am glad to see it. I wish I was in Sydney so I could go in the draw for that ticket.

  25. GD

    Agree with your assessment. I guess we shall know if the caucus put up the white flag when parliament next sits on the 12th March. Both houses will sit for seven days, then it will go into recess until the budget in May.

  28. Victoria.
    Don’t worry, that won’t happen. It looks to me as though there is a campaign plan being rolled out and it does not include changing leaders.

  30. If Caucus throw in the towel and fall for the 3 Card Kevin trick, then they deserve all the ridicule and mockery, from everyone from the Opposition down to the lowliest bogan, that they will get.

    As has been said elsewhere on the Internet tonight, Murdoch is throwing everything at getting the government defeated because once IPTV and the NBN are entrenched, he becomes irrelevant. His media properties become just another web address among the infinite number available to everyone, everywhere.

    Automated phone polls cost peanuts to do, but may save Murdoch billions in the long run. Of course he’ll use whatever tool is at his disposal to protect his assets.

    You mentioned something about the second airport this week. I was under impression that the nimby factor is reason why, it has failed to get the go ahead to date

  32. There has to be a big announcement planned for Sunday afternoon. All the planning that has gone into it, it can’t be anything but BIG! The Labor Party has even printed tickets!

    As per usual, they’re keeping it pretty close to their chests though. 🙂

    I imagine the Clown Prince, Abbott, will try and distract attention away from the PM by pretend driving ‘His’ truck into town.

  33. victoria,
    The Nimby factor re the 2nd Airport has virtually evaporated out West as it has come to be seen as an economic driver for the area. Jobs! Jobs! And more jobs! Also, it is being touted in an arriviste kind of way as a symbol that Western Sydney has arrived as an area of national significance.

    Also, I remember that a little ways back, both Barry O’Farrell AND Joe Hockey expressed approval of the idea of a 2nd Airport for Sydney, at Badgerys Creek, not Wilton, where Albo is said to have wanted it. Which doesn’t mean Albo won’t change his mind back to Badgerys Creek. The Commonwealth already owns the land out there for it.

  35. c@tmomma

    Btw i agreed with your earlier comment about an annoucement. It would make sense for it to be the second airport at Badgerys Creek, although all i can envisage is outrage if such an annoucement were made.

  37. Just a thought. Did Albo say Wilton knowing full well that BOF and Hockey would be contraire and go with with Badgery Creek?

  42. victoria,
    I can just imagine that Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott would love selling the concept of the 2nd Sydney Airport to the denizens of Western Sydney as something the Labor Party were too gutless to do.

  44. c@tmomma

    I understand the govt owns the land, but can it proceed without the approval of the State govt?

  46. This is how the Romanians do the Can Can. Not sure how Strauss’s polkas got into the medley, but great fun and wildly keen audience.

    A SECOND Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek is not high on the NSW Government’s to do list, says Premier Barry O’Farrell.
    It would seem that Nothing is very high on Fatty’s ‘ to do’ list.
