This kinda sums up the way I’m feeling this morning:
And for the full story:
So, on with the funny shit. Today — the day after July 4 — we do military:
And time to look at the furriners…

Asking The Question
Unexpectedly
Chatting to my Oz son-in-law over the weekend, he informed us that New South Wales has gone into a two-week lockdown because (I think) one limo driver had the Indian (“Delta”) version of the WuFlu and now everybody’s getting it.
From what I can see, the OzGov’s policy is: EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!
Over Here. of course, the WuFlu caused the Perpetually Fearful to praise Oz’s harsh lockdown state-by-state policies last year, which policies might have made sense if only they had been followed up by a massive inoculation / vaccination drive as happened both Over Here and Over There (UK).
For no apparent reason, the OzGov never did any such thing — even though with a population numbering in the single-digit millions (or less) in most states, it should have been an easy, slam-dunk job. But inexplicably, that never happened, so now they’re faced with a largely-unvaccinated population, no herd immunity and all the consequences that flow from that incompetence. Hence the frantic rush now.
I invite my Oz Readers to correct my opinion on this issue, of course, but I think I have it mostly correct.
Monday Funnies
For one lovely moment, I woke up this morning and thought it was next Monday — i.e. the long weekend Monday — only for the ghastly realization to sink in that it wasn’t; in other words, it’s going to be the normal miserable five days of slog before we reach the oasis of next weekend.
So what the hell; might as well console ourselves with the usual tasteless, offensive Monday stuff, right?
Right.
And lastly, one for the times we find ourselves in:
I’d like to take a lot more than five, but that’s just the over-achiever in me talking.
Anyway, here’s something a little more cheerful:
…and:
…and lastly:
Next week’s Funnies will appear (of course) on Tuesday, unless you guys can’t do without them.
Monday Funnies
Time to go on vacation, on a beach somewhere in Europe or the Black Sea.
So… on with the funnies. Of course, some may be a little offensive to a few people.
And speaking of which:
I report, you decide.
Not Aintree
We are all familiar with Train Smash Women Central (i.e. Liverpool’s racetrack for the Grand National — just search this site for “Aintree”), so it comes with some relief (mixed with regret) that Royal Ascot seems to have been wonderfully devoid of such creatures this year. Some examples:
Here’s the always-lovely Charlotte Hawkins:
…although of course, while exquisitely dressed, she had That Thing on her head — and there were likewise more than a few examples of regrettable millinery:
Which leads me to the rather cruel conclusion that the only upside to the Covid face-diaper is that it spares us from the sight of British Teeth.
Oh, and while looking admittedly dapper, comedian / musician Bill Bailey still holds the title of “He Who Is More In Need Of A Haircut Than Any White Man In The Entire World”.
Go there and see for yourself.
