Easter Egg Hunt

Guest Author Uncategorized

Hello echidnas! My name is Kylie Sandilands – Kyle’s virtually identical twin sister. It is an honour and a privilege to be The Pub’s first official Guest Author, and to share with all you lovely Pubketeers a Very Special Event. Yes – it’s the Kirribilli House Easter Egg Hunt,

hosted by our wonderful Prime Minister, Ms Julia Gillard,

First Bloke Mr Tim Mathieson,

and Adorable Dog Reuben the Cavoodle.

Today I will be your very own Easter Bunny, and I have much pleasure in declaring the Easter Egg Hunt open. Here is your first clue:

Welcome to my Easter hunt

Now, first let’s go to something out front.

The clue is hiding in a spot

That grown-ups seem to check a lot,

Sometimes it’s full, sometimes it’s empty

You’ll often see here stamps aplenty.

Have a nice day – and would you like fries with that?

  1. The virtual prize is in PMJG’s knitting bag.

    That is truly disgusting.

    And I thought I was sick!

  3. Muttleymcgee,

    Just read you giving befuddled a piece of your mind – he’s not worth you getting raised BP you know. He’s one nasty bully boy who loves to dominate and since his idol has let him down and shown up to a cowardly cur, befuddled has become more and more unhinged and all his anger and hate is directed at PMJG.

    I only read about one page in 20 now yet befuddled is always there ranting on and on and on….

  5. I have just invented a muffin recipe to use up some apples which are past their prime but still not worth throwing out. I’m having one with a cup of peppermint tea, and feeling quite proud of myself! 😀

  8. muttleymcgee,
    bemused will NEVER listen nor take any notice. He has become unhinged and totally lost the plot and descended into spite and vitriol based merely upon the only fact that is relevant. That his man is a spineless rat who is congenitally unable to win a contest fairly.

    Both Rudd and Abbott are both low-down, conniving, foul-mouthed, sexist bastards, who are using every trick in the book to try and beat up on a woman. You can’t get much lower than that, and all the rest of the Rudd Recidivists, like bemused, DTT, Paine, TLM and the parliamentary dogs, are down there with them.

    Still, the Labor Party Reformists are gradually wearing them down. 🙂

    However, like the cornered rats they are, they will just keep biting and scratching and trying to fight their way out of the corner they have got themselves into. It’s all their tiny minds know how to do.

    Which is something we can all agree on. How small-minded they are.

    Just look at the way they have regrouped after their latest trouncing. Bouncing fresh assertions and accusations against the PM from one to the other until they have got their new lines straight. Then pounding them now.

    If only they could see how obvious it all is to the objective and unemotional observer.

    And how truly pathetic they all are.

    Don’t waste your time and energy, muttleymcgee. That lot have the hide of a bunch of soulless Rhinos. No heart and no guts for the real fight.

  16. Thanks, both of you. Like you I was always brought up to be loyal and the worst comments about both Rudd & bemused are all true. Like Richardson.

    Time for a Guinness!!

  18. C@tmomma: Take a moment to look at who the main Ruddistas/Gillard-Haters are over there. They comprise:

    1) Greens supporters (especially those who are ex-Labor) – far and away the loudest (Bemused excepted) anti-Gilllard group;
    2) People who can be relied upon to take any opportunity to rail against the factions, particularly the NSW Right (oh, the irony right now just cracks me up);
    3) People from Queensland (who are a breed in themselves);
    4) People whose local member is a full-on Ruddista and who have therefore been bombarded by anti-Gillard bile for 2 years.

    None of these people are, in my opinion, genuine and loyal Labor Party supporters/members.

    That they can be more interested in The Cult Of Kevin’s Hurt Feelings than pulling together and PUBLICLY supporting the Party and its duly appointed (3 times now) leader tells you all you need to know about them.

    They are largely the reason I now reluctantly give the site a wide berth … and I suspect I’m not the only one. I mean, if I wanted to spend all day listening to people complain about the PM and how Labor are stuffed then I’d subject myself to shock-jock radio.

    No thanks. I’m an optimistic person by nature. I’d much rather hang with a bunch of happy, sociable Labor loyalists.

    Which reminds me:

    5) People who don’t show up at PB get-togethers.

    It’s no coincidence that all the PB Socialisers are over here at the Pub 😉

  19. Danny Lewis,

    No coincidence indeedy … can I interest you in a wee drop of something?

  20. Ok, just had nanna nap. And caught up with the day’s news. After a fantastic day with my own children, it is just heartbreaking to learn the Jones family have lost two children from the falling wall event. The pain must be just enormous. 😦

  21. I’ve had three glasses of red already.

    Nearly time for me to toddle off to bed, but thanks all the same. Might lurk for a while longer but 😀

  25. Been out with my family all day …we had an Easter egg hunt for the grand children …great fun!! …missed the one on here but enjoyed the pleasure evident in those who took part… 🙂

    Still nursing painful ribs from laughing so much at Bushfire’s hilarious “Capstick comes home” Youtube video. My best friend hails from Rotherham and I can’t wait to show it to him ..he’ll love it 🙂 🙂

    Denese…

    In response to your suggestion about high-lighting Abbott’s negativity and total policy failings over at the other place …I personally don’t have the energy or inclination to take on the Julia haters and Liberal trolls which now infest that blog.

    Additionally, I have the view that continual and repeated statements about Abbott’s plethora of failings/gaffes/lies/mis-interpretations/back-flips etc. …does little to change voters views of HIM …many seem determined to vote for him and his crew of thugs/bigots/policy-free seat warmers …even though they KNOW he’s a dud …a liar …a hollow man …a weathervane …a bigot …a homophobe …etc.

    The thing that will turn ‘swinging voters’ towards the light of the ALP imo …is continued and repeated statements about this Govts comprehensive suite of good social and economic policies + it’s very significant achievements to date. Focusing on Abbott is playing HIS game …& sets up a ‘he says ..she says’ contest that is ultimately confusing and meaningless to swinging voters who really NEED to know …”what’s in it for me?” …or “what’s in it for what I believe in”

    The Vote4Julia2013 campaign will be clearly stating …in simple terms …what this Govt HAS done …IS doing …and WILL do if re-elected. The only negative slant will come in the form of a question …”why risk it?” …”why lose it?” …

    That’s what I will be concentrating on until the election is won in September …& it WILL be won by Julia and her team.

  26. Just listening to the Rev.Bill Crewes on 2GB in the car.

    What a nasty little piece of work!

    He runs a mission serving food to the homeless at Ashfield in Sydney. Apparently he thinks we should feed locals before we feed anyone overseas. Whatever’s left over can go as overseas aid. Definitely doesn’t approve of the help we give asylum seekers. Has callers on, one by one, dozens of them slagging off the government. He agrees with all of them. Certainly doesn’t argue with any of them.

    Doesn’t sound like much of a Christian to me.

    Oh, did I mention, he’s one of John Singleton’s best mates?

  27. BK,

    I made a promise to myself many moons ago, if things don’t add value to my life whilst also causing me grief, I move on. Whether that is people, places, or activities.

    It has served me well over the years. I have way more up days than I have down days.

    In PB’s case scrolling through 30 pages of mindless whinging to find a nugget or two of gold was a seriouse waste of my time. Most of the opinions I value are right here. And it comes without the abuse.

  28. Dannylewis,

    { 3) People from Queensland (who are a breed in themselves); }

    Norty, norty, Danny! Not all us Qld’ers are inbred monsters. Some are expatriates like J6P and DTT and are lovely people who do not always agree with the group think that is dominate at that time.

    I think it is wonderful that there can be a diversity of opinion and a variety of ideas.

    What I don’t like is trolling to overwhelm the ideology of others in the hope that they can drown them out and their ideology prevail.

    I would like to see commenters like DTT welcomed here at The Pub because they have at times, an alternative opinion that is worthy of consideration.

  29. Still nursing painful ribs from laughing so much at Bushfire’s hilarious “Capstick comes home” Youtube video.

    Glad you liked it. It was a parody of a Hovis bread commercial from the 1970s, with the catch line, “Brown bread!” uttered in thick Yorkshire accents.

    Scenario was a da’ and his bairn, walking home over the fields, then down one of those steep, cobble-stone streets typical of mining villages in Yorkshire, at night. Long telephoto shots of endless terraces, cloth caps and heavy overcoats. Big black boots worn by both.

    “Home soon, lad!”

    When they get home Mum has “A nice thick slice o’ brown bread for thee and for thee” waiting for them, and of course they tuck in with gusto and effusion.

    Similar music, too: pit-top brass band playing a Yorkshire air.

    Capstick “got it perfec'”.

  35. Danny Lewis,
    I’m well aware of the Greens with Envy. 😉 I lumped them into the basket with the Coalition after the Asylum Seeker debate following the Huston Expert Panel recommendations. Just seeing the photos taken by Andrew Meares and Alex Ellinghausen, of Sarah Hanson-Young conspiring with Julie Bishop and Scott Morrison told me all I needed to know. Then to hear that they WOULD support the contrived and connived Coalition Amendments, plus witnessing the Crocodile tears for the dead from both Joe Hockey and Ms Hanson-Young, in an almost synchronous display of public mawkishness, simply sealed the deal on what I believed would be the case when Bob Brown left parliament. That when he went out the door The Greens’ soul and integrity went with him.

    Not that he was entirely ethical himself, because he was the one who wanted to ‘replace the bastards’, however, I always got the feeling he wanted to do it for essentially principled reasons, unlike most of the rest of them. Scott Ludlam, Rachel Siewart and Richard Di Natale being the 3 exceptions as I see it. Whish-Wilson hasn’t been there long enough yet to display his true colours.

    Still, they vote as a bloc, and now that they have theatrically torn up the Agreement with Labor, increasingly they are backing self-interest in the run-up to the election. If somewhat incoherently to the objective observer. Especially when you consider their behaviour in the light of what are supposed to be core Green foundations, like the Environment, Population Control and Resource Management. Oh, and caring for people like asylum seekers, when they die for no good reason.

    I tell you this much, those vile, vicious and vituperative Greens supporters at PB won’t know what hit them, if Abbott becomes Prime Minister. They can run screaming to Poll Bludger then, but no one will be listening. Not Labor. Who they are foolishly burning now. And especially not their new best friends, the Coalition. They will have served their purpose and have been discarded like the feckless, dirty, little toe rags they are, by political players worse than their worst Labor nightmares.

  36. Scorps: you are most definitely excluded from Rabid Queensland Mob Syndrome.

    Maybe because I’ve met you I know you are usually a rational person and I can happily put any excess of fanboyism down to the weather 😉

    But … we might have to agree to disagree on DTT. It’s all the *shouty* anti-Gillard prose that does my head in 😉

  38. Kidette
    I am finding it harder and harder to go over there.

    And you’re one of the most optimistic, uplifting characters around the place, BK.

    I went there this afternoon spoiling for a fight and dished out a few well-chosen words, then scarpered.

    No personal abuse (although I think I did call one person “Stupid” – OK, I suppose that’s personal abuse) but nothing more than that one instance.

    Did say Rudd ought to be locked away, though, before he can do more damage.

    I suppose what upsets me is that I find normal people out there in Voterland share the same grudges as the Usual Suspects at PB.

    I can’t figure out why, out of all the knifings, double-dealings, leadership coups and outright nastiness, Gillard’s taking over from Rudd should be singled out – even by Liberal voters – as the epitome of evil and treachery, while the other ones are ignored.literally.

    In the context of winning an election and beating Rudd in caucus meetings set for the purpose of deciding the leadership – three times – and in the face of trying to maintain some semblance of dignity in the face of all the white-anting and leaking and media abuse, Gillard shines out as someone with true grit and determination.

    Yet all you hear is “She lied, and she stabbed Rudd in the back.”

    It’s so monumentally unfair. Every now and again I like to shout at the droogs at PB and get THEM angry for a change.

    Pointless, I know, but there you are…

  39. I’ve never understood why the Greens rail so hard against Labor.

    It is counter-productive – especially at a time when Labor are behind in the polls.

    When they are ahead, yeah; I can understand the need for a bit of “brand differentiation”, but when their criticisms (often ridiculous shades of grey) are just adding to the cacophony coming from the Coalition and the media, it just seems to me to be a stupid own goal. Why get rid of the party closest to you, politically, and put yourself in a position where you have to deal with a party who is LESS likely to accommodate your political position?

    After all, what is the point of a political party having a seat in parliament if their voice is never heard?

    #Facepalm

  40. Labor *is*, not are.

    I’m on my 4th glass of red now, thanks to that bottle of St Henri that Fiona opened 😉

  41. Danny,

    On the Greens front, I will be interested to see what happens to their first grown up vote sans Bob. I have a suspiscion that the Greens vote may deflate at the Federal level.

  42. I didn’t want much, just to enjoy having the first female PM, and a Labour one at that.

    That is the thing which annoys and saddens me most. This was supposed to be a grand time, a time of pride and achievement.

    With the non-stop negativity of Tony Abbott, the MSM, The Greens whingers and the Rudd spoilers, it has been anxiety, anger and outrage.

    That I will remember, so they needn’t come crying to me when the rightwing crap hits the fan.

  44. Hahahahaha!

    I’m about to go to be anyway, BK, but thanks for the warning 😉

    On that note, I will bid all you lovely Pubkateers good night!

  48. SK: yes, indeed. The polls are showing the Greens vote as reasonably stable, but when there is movement it seems to follow movement to and from Labor anyway.

    And now I really AM going to bed 😀
