We seem to read so much LNP fantasy here in the comments columns, regarding ‘the mess we inherited from Labor”, “Labor will sink Qld under mountains of debt”, Labor lost Qls the AAA rating… And bugger me !

I see the Greens. Katter, PUPs, independents, and other minor partys are doing a ‘deal’ to swap/pool preferences … Which MAY hurt LNP more than the ALP. Think it may be best to just VOTE ALP 1 and not number them all…

It was actually DD that “fired first”. TechinBris had responded to a post by Wixxy that raised the issue of what is the appropriate terminology to be applied to a person born in NSW.
Techy nominated “New South Welshman” and DD ankle tapped him over the fact that that term was “gender specific”. They had a few exchanges then Jaycee jumped in with her defence of gender non-specificity.
She didn’t address the question of the pumps, the lifeboats, the barricades or the concession stalls at the Sunday market.

Mate, someone like DD should know that “New South Welshperson” is somewhat cumbersome, and “New South Welshie” is a bit too unspecific, and “New South Welshthings” is a tad insulting, so what’s his option? “New South Welshers”? ❓ 😉 that would work for the NSW LNP 😀 , but the rest might take umbrage 😯

The New South Welshman became a New South Welshperson and lives with all the New South Welshpeople.
The spellchecker underlines Welshperson and Welshpeople but not Welshman so the argument was a moot point because “other” terminology has not caught up with the dictionary form as dictionaries etc update their words/meanings and phrases.
The unbearable lightness of being a New South Welshman
The term “New South Welshman”and “New South Welshmen” are still in use according to Google search and are defined as “slang” “colloquialism” and definition.
So Techin is correct in my book and he is one of those who occasionally use TSM and a target of imbeciles.

You can disable the cloud, although some people like to store stuff away from the hard drive, because for most it’s a function they don’t need.
The thing I hated most was that idiotic start screen designed for touch sensitive monitors, but if you put the cursor to the top left hand corner a small image of a W7 type screen appears and you can go there and add your icons, folders etc and carry on like a normal human being.
It will default to the stupid screen for a few start ups and then get the idea if you keep going to the good one.
W8.1 is a bit more user friendly, but like all MS stuff, they keep making it harder to use for no good reason other than to show off their programming skills. You only need to remember how easy Word 2000 was to use and then use, say, Word 20007 to see all the crap you have to wade through instead of having the choice of it sitting at the top of the screen or not.

Hey I get some good angles looking into it and what I found was them dirty snivlin Greens.
They`re smarmy slimey and oozey like a tropical ulcer gone real bad.
These scum have clearly put this shit there and also try and pally up.
Cornie Russ Frank Consider Truthy oldavey were/are all correct in that the greens are ar$eholes.
I`ve never looked into them so much because they were not my cuppa and now as I`m exploring the mind of my political enemy I see who they are.
They were at least far more square when Brown ran the ship-now they`re going to go the way of the Democrats.
I`ve been asked ‘what should the Greens just be a junior partner of Labor”
ha,that`s if
Mate they all harbour knives in one hand and biscuits in the other.
They can stick their biscuits and their knive where the Sun don`t shine for mine.
I can`t find anything for your area Judes 🙂 soz
I don`t know your candidates or electorate at all except for it`s name but i did see that LNP slime has a 20%+ margin.

Morning Truth Seekers 🙂 and as we move inexorably closer to polling day in our blue ribbon LNP seat, we’ve certainly seen more action in this state election than in previous ones with even the obnoxious LNP looking, for once, like they’re not taking us quite so much for granted 😯
Although I have to say that our local member, the Mendacious Mark McArdle, has been a no show so far, which will make no difference to his support from the ill informed and rusted on self funded retirees, who will still vote against their own and the states best interest 😦
But the very fact that they seem to be trying this time, may mean that there’s movement at the station that has them worried 😉 We live in hope 🙂
That aside, it may be darts today 😀 but I won’t know for sure until I wake my mate up, with a phone call, around 8:30 😉 the lazy bastard 😯 😉 😀

I had another reflection on my view of the Greens and some of its rabid supporters.
My thoughts recently crystallised when DJ, who has canned shit out of the ALP for the past 12 months or more has now complained that the ALP would be a traitor to the voters of Queensland if they didn’t take the chance to use the Greens to form an anti – Conservative coalition.
Now, I find that very curious because DJ has also recently said that the Green’s will probably not win any seats.
So, if the Greens win a couple of seats (which DJ doesn’t think they will), and if Labor are one or two seats short of a working majority, then the Greens should be given the chance to experience government in a partnership with a party they detest.
I suggested to DJ some months ago that he retreat to his fantasies, at least I got that part right.

Hey Frank Ston, like you, I was tempted to go back on IA and offer my support to Simon, Joe and Ron, but won`t break my promise either.
Just a thought, until recently I believe there was not a great deal of animosity between the Greens and the ALP, but since the arrival on the scene at the I.A site of DJ and his ilk, a great wedge has developed between some commenters on that site between supporters of each party, which leads me to repeat an earlier comment of mine,which is that the Trolls are at work to simply wedge both groups while they sit back laughing at the damage they are causing.
I`ve been around long enough in politics to pick a genuine supporter of political parties, and I can safely say that people who state they support the ALP (and who sometimes offer genuine criticism of it) on the I.A. site are fair dinkum. I can`t say the same for some of the others on that site, I`m afraid.
Cheers.
