Hopefully you go down to 4 and not up to 3. I'm pinching the image. That will be $100.00 thanks. Put it on Joe's card will ya. He's the one holding the whip. Keeps hitting himself in the butt on the backswing.

OZ has got its voice back! The POMEs are pissed (in the American sense).

From the book: It ain't over till it's over. 'It's our destiny!' Lord Adonis outlines 'step by step plan' to reverse Brexit and rejoin EUwww.express.co.uk/news/politics/1496891/andrew-adonis-news-brexit-update-rejoin-eu-labour-party-conferenceAdonis may have an image problem. Adonis was the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology. In Ovid's first-century AD telling of the myth, he was conceived after Aphrodite cursed his mother Myrrha to lust after her own father, King Cinyras of Cyprus. Myrrha had sex with her father in complete darkness for nine nights, but he discovered her identity and chased her with a sword. The gods transformed her into a myrrh tree and, in the form of a tree, she gave birth to Adonis. Aphrodite found the infant and gave him to be raised by Persephone, the queen of the Underworld. Adonis grew into an astonishingly handsome young man, causing Aphrodite and Persephone to feud over him, with Zeus eventually decreeing that Adonis would spend one third of the year in the Underworld with Persephone, one third of the year with Aphrodite, and the final third of the year with whomever he chose. Adonis chose to spend his final third of the year with Aphrodite.

And before someone comes back with "but the US owes France - without them we would have lost the Revolution!" True, BUT: the US owes *royalist* France. If the French want to return to a monarchy and install their old dynasty to the throne I will be all for the US officially owing them a favor. Until then, non.

Only in a theatre of the bizarre could the fates devise such a mess across all(?) energy markets on the approach to the winter of the Century. DON'T hand out the chain saws or there won't be a tree standing come spring. Ohh. Forgot. No fuel for the chainsaws. And the average Brit (like the average Yank) is too fat to chop. If there is a match shortage we'll all freeze to death as the matches cannot be had from China with the supply chain shutdown. Bic lighters will all be dry by X-Mas and don't even mention flint and steel. And don't mention food that is also trucked in. Boris should stop preaching on climate change and hire a small army of bishops and pastors before they all move to the Med. He may need them badly. Monty Python could have seen the humor in all this, but could only get away with it between major wars in the 1960s. The Woke would put him to sleep quickly. www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/27/panic-buying-leaves-petrol-pumps-dry-in-major-british-cities

Of course there's queues backing out of all of them because it's really concerning when they run out over a weekend but refilled on Monday. That's the real sign of crisis...I mean, if the stations get refilled every day where will you get your fuel from?? It becomes essential to buy alot more fuel then normal. The real issue is alot (and I mean alot) of idiots took alot more fuel from stations starting Friday then normal, people saw the queues and wanted to get their bit before pumps ran dry and this continued over the weekend.....when deliveries aren't as frequent! So the pumps ran dry. Of course they did. But there's plenty of fuel, and almost enough drivers, just not for 5% of stations. Which basically means some people would have to get it somewhere else. The whole situation is completely unnecessary.

Now even Watchers is writing on European Natural gas shortages and a cold onrushing winter. Europe's crippling energy crisis presages trouble for the rest of the worldwatchers.news/2021/09/27/europe-s-crippling-energy-crisis-presages-trouble-for-the-rest-of-the-world/"If the winter is actually cold, my concern is we will not have enough gas for use for heating in parts of Europe," Amos Hochstein, the U.S. State Department’s senior adviser for energy security, told Bloomberg. For some countries, 'it won’t only be a recessionary value, it will affect the ability to actually provide gas for heating. It touches everybody’s lives.' Keep in mind that summers are already shorter and winters longer, putting an additional strain on energy suppliers. It's utterly embarrassing for the policymakers, but the situation brings back coal to the European table. However, coal alone will not solve the crisis as exports of the commodity from Australia, South Africa, and Colombia remain hampered by the COVID measures and supply chain challenges, compounding the effect of low Russian supply.2 "The crisis in Europe presages trouble for the rest of the planet as the continent’s energy shortage has governments warning of blackouts and factories being forced to shut," Stapczynski said, adding that the power crisis could exacerbate shutdowns if authorities divert gas to light and heat households. "This winter, the world is likely to learn how much the global economy depends on natural gas," Stapczynski concludes.
