In which the pond settles down for some quality Savva time ...


The pond was recently told an amusing anecdote about a netizen in leafy Avalon. 

He was overjoyed to have finally got the NBN, but then to his dismay, noticed he was getting slower speeds than his previous HFC connection to the world.

On complaining to the NBN - he knew a little about the world of tech - he was told he just had to wait a little while for the line to "settle down" ...

The netizen was bowled over by this tremendously helpful technical and impeccably scientific advice ...


Yes, broadband as children, marital bliss, a good night's sleep or perhaps a blue heeler, and that's why the pond thought that reptile editorial about "business as usual" was code for Malware fucking things up as usual ...

Never mind, what has the official reptile voice got to say on assorted Malware matters this day, what with Malware really having fixed the Senate as well as he fixed the broadband?


That'd be the Tony Abbott whose government fucked up the matter of Bob Day in the first place ...

It's a mark of reptile delusions that they continue to think that the onion muncher, if brought inside the tent, would toe the line, and everything would be sweetness and light, and a point of friction would be gone. 

The pond doesn't know how many times it will have to reference the scorpion and the frog, and former Chairman Rudd, and the outcome of many great other political vendettas (not least Hawke v Keating) for the reptiles to come to their rhetorical senses ...

But it helps explain why poor old Savva is in a disgruntled, savage mood this day ...


Yes, yes, perhaps it all just needs to settle down a little ...


Tragic. Fancy the government becoming the centre of stories about the government. 

And as for that illustration with the clover leaf ... why didn't they use a decent illustration or two from the recent cup?


Ah the 'leets at play ...


Oops, the 'leets took a tumble ...

Never mind, on we go, though it has to be said that the pond is shedding as many crocodile tears for Savva as it did when Sophie had to do a Chris Christie for her new Donald ... (does she go out for the burgers too?)


There's no reason to doubt the mutton Dutton?

Well that in a nutshell explains just how Malware has ended up where he is, and why Savva's handwringing makes such a piquant sight. 

But it's admirable how Savva keeps trying the fine art of distraction ... look, look, over there, over there ... but sadly, the onion muncher and his own Terrorist Chris Christie (travelling under the pseudonym McGregor) will out ...


Yes, yes, it will all settle down in due course ... but what tears there are in the meantime ...

It also gives the world a new definition of luck. The mutton Dutton and Malware are hopeless klutzes? Abbott is a ham-fisted blackmailing clown with astonishingly poor judgment? And that makes Shorten the luckiest politician in federal politics?

Don't get weird, as the aliens are wont to say ...

And now, for gluttons, but only gluttons in search of punishment, the pond must turn to 18C and the most recent reptile yammerings ... though the news is bad ...


Sexton has a lot to say - he has, after all a book to sell, but the pond would just like to present a delightful excerpt ...


Marvellous. It's puzzling that Jewish groups are worried about the freedom to speak hate speech ... and in the long term, they really have a strong interest in a revival of anti-semitic hate speech which might hurt, offend, and lead to broken bones rather than sticks and stones?

Still, Sexton came around to the correct line at the end, and no doubt will reap his reward with magnificent book sales ...

And so to Twitter, only because it irritates the reptiles so ...with this one presenting another view of the cup ...


And this one presenting a really deep riddle ...



Oh please, pick me, pick me, the pond knows the answer to that one. 

Why I support Donald Trump ... is bcause I'm an even bigger fuckwit and dickhead than he is, and lordy lordy you have to work hard to reach that sort of nirvana ... 

Now take that along to 18C and see how far you get ...

  1. Hi Dorothy,

    It's amusing that the Oz editorial is urging Turnbull to ignore all the distractions and press on with his "reform" agenda of economic growth, fiscal repair and border protection without noting why there has been so little progress this year.

    In the last five months parliament has sat for a mere 15 days. They are scheduled to sit for another gruelling 12 days before Christmas and then the pollies set off on their tax payer funded migration to foreign climes in order to carry out "fact finding" missions.

    All up parliament will have sat for a grand total of 52 days in 2016.

    Politics is looking more like a part time job every year, except the pay is substantially better.

  2. Sophie should have taken note of Bronwyn Bishop's first rule of fashion: One can wear black and white stripes to prison but never to a racecourse.
