Stupid old fingers and stupid old twerp not proofreading.

45 x 45 = 2,025 and we won't get another until 2116 (46 x 46 = 2,116) .

Don't ask me where the 2's came in.

Scientists all over the world fear politicians and other populists where a logical, scientific position can result in defunding, ridicule and worse.

The next pandemic, quite possibly underway now, may well be more awful than the last.

People are volunteering as victims right now.

To give him credit where credit is due he does have property developers, war criminals bankers and opportunists so not all bad news.

Can't see Melania so not all trophies on display.

It's quite possible that I smell worse than the manure. There are some who suggest this regularly.

I should have said also keep adding water while it goes brown.

I tip out the contents about once a year, dry it and use it as mulch. No weed seed can survive this treatment.

Flies only find it attractive in the early part of spring

Good luck

The principle here is that plants only take up nutrients in solution with water so whatever dissolves here is immediately available as plant food.

I have three on the go all the time but I have a big garden and quite a few fruit trees.

It smells but I like it.

Stir regularly to get rid of maggots

Fill with water and stir occasionally.

Dilute as weak tea for most vege except brassicas which cannot be killed with fertiliser.

The fruit trees get a stronger dose also.

All plants must be thoroughly watered before fertiliser application.

Filter the fertiliser if you are using a watering can.

There's no real recipe just guidelines.

We're on a farm and have chooks, ducks, sheep, horses and cattle.

I get an open top 200 ltr drum and put whatever shit I have available to about one third so, perhaps 2 buckets of fresh chook and duck shit, 2 buckets of horse and 2 buckets of cow.

I make a liquid fertiliser which I use, at varying strengths, on everything.

The citrus trees, of which we have six, get a big dose in Spring and another in Autumn. This year, despite the heat (46 for 3 days) they are covered in fruit.

We trade and give heaps away and also gorge.

Yum yum yum.

I like them both ways. Yellow ones have much more juice and green ones are very tart.

I freeze the small green ones whole and use them as ice cubes in drinks all summer.

Our lemon and lime trees are covered in small fruit and we look like having a bumper year.

Sheridan can be confident that, in writing this pap as demanded by Lachlan, no-one who buys The Australian will read it. Many of them can't.

The headline will be skimmed to make sure that their biases are being confirmed and they will move on.

He is a lickspittle, grovelling, ignorant arselicker.
January 17, 2026 at 5:03 AM
I'm around the same age and even if I could become so wealthy and powerful I just couldn't be bothered.

He would have no peace, no quiet, no contemplation.

If he wasn't such an ignorant, vindictive arsehole I would pity him.

The poor bastard would never even make himself a cup of tea.

One of the few compensations is that, no, he will never be happy. The wrapping is off, he has fondled it for a few minutes and now he must look forward to his next fix. Iran? Greenland?Who knows?

The main puzzle is why does he bother.
January 17, 2026 at 1:13 AM
With the internet the way it is he will be cast as everything but the truth - whatever that means.
January 16, 2026 at 11:08 PM
What a lovely picture you paint.

The only real compensation we have is that this boastful, ignorant, vindictive manchild has no notion of the fate of men like him throughout history.

Agathocles, Akhenaten etc have all been almost erased.

Trump is not fit to shovel shit.

The Norwegians know what to with inappropriate leaders.

Just ask Mr Quisling.

Oops can't ask him - he was hung.
