I saw that the CanuckiPM’s wife has been diagnosed with the dreaded Wuhan virus. I didn’t even know the little drip was married, so I hastened to see the evidence:
Wait… what? Shome mishtake, shurrly.
She’s quite hot, in that bland north-of-the-48th-parallel way, and probably could have had her choice of Canucki-males. But no. This near-hottie did this:
…with this?
Good grief.
Then I learned that she’s since had three children, all allegedly fathered by him.
As I said, inexplicable…
As the racing season gets underway in Britishland, I can announce with some happiness that the first major race at Cheltenham doesn’t feature the usual assortment of Train Smash Women, as the clientele (various Royals and other toffs) are Not Of That Ilk, thank goodness. Here’s a representative sample of yesterday’s Ladies Day:
And of course avid racegoer Charlotte Hawkins looked lovely, as usual:
Maybe the shivery wet weather kept the ladies in check, who knows? And speaking checks, here’s Princess Anne’s daughter Zara (who, as a former Olympic equestrienne medallist probably knows more about horses than any other woman at the course):
But for those Readers who like me are impatient to see the Train Smash Brigade, never fear: Liverpool’s Aintree will be taking place in a couple week’s time…
Certain things in life cannot be explained, e.g.:
…and this:
…how this doofus ever became famous:
…and why people continue to believe that government-made levees won’t fail:
But in that set of of inexplicable things, this headline tops all of them:
Here’s what I don’t understand: how the hell did this story ever get out?
Did the hairdresser brag about her feat on Faecesbook? Were the hairdresser’s customers alerted to this man’s predicament by his muffled screams, and called the cops?
OR: did this helpless victim get free (either by being released by his captor, or somehow breaking free by his own efforts)… and then complain about it to the cops? What kind of man would do that?
And (if the newspaper account of this escapade is to be believed) even as the former were the case, why did the cops take him seriously?
Now if the hairdresser looked like this, then maybe I could understand it better.
…but once again, if the article is to be believed, she wasn’t that bad-looking (with the “Russian caveat”* in effect).
So… did this helpless sex slave think he was going to get his own back on her (so to speak) by shopping her to the cops? If so, that worked out really well for him, as he was tossed into jail for the action which got him into this predicament in the first place, and where he was likely to be raped again, only by men and without the after-sex reward of food, money and a pair of jeans.
Like I said: inexplicable.
*the Russian caveat: not all young Russian women look like worn-out Moscow street prostitutes, but it’s the safe way to bet.
Obviously, that diversity thing is working out very well for the Danes. As it is for all the countries who are importing Third Worlders into their country, hoping (against all the evidence) that the Magic Dirt Theory will work this time. And when some of the locals in ScandiLand do wake up and smell the coffee, their governments’ response is all too predictable.
I read this news piece
Airlines Face Loss of Up to $30 Billion in Revenues in Wake of Coronavirus
….and I find myself torn between two emotions:
and
In the first place, I hate all airlines without regard to race, class, religion, nationality or gender. [25,000 reasons omitted for brevity]
Secondly (according to the article), most of the losses are supposed to befall the Chinese airlines, but considering that they’re owned engines, wings and tails by the loathsome Commie Chinese government, who cares?
Of course, people are going to think that this disruption will mean lower fares and/or less-crowded flights for the rest of us… [pause for scornful laughter] …but the airlines will simply cancel most of their flights, cram the remaining planes to the brim and then (you heard it here first) raise their fares to make up for lost revenue. You see, international travel may feel an impact, especially for those fools who inexplicably visit China all the time, but most U.S. airlines get the bulk of their revenue from domestic flights (i.e. corporate passengers who are largely immune to fare increases anyway). (And you can ignore bullshit articles like this one — I tested the claims, and couldn’t find ONE.)
I know that in a Black Swan scenario, the people most likely to be hurt are people like myself, but at the same time there’s something awfully appealing about watching corporations getting shafted by random events, kinda like what they do to us on a daily basis…
It is, as they say, to LOL at our cousins in Britishland as they begin to panic:
Panic-buying Brits strip supermarket shelves of pasta, couscous and water: Shops are left bare of larder essentials as well as toilet roll, Berocca and disinfectant as coronavirus ‘preppers’ brace for meltdown
Couscous? [exit, pissing myself laughing]
Sorry, had to clean up a little. I do like the addition of Berocca (supposed hangover remedy, similar to Alka Seltzer) to the list of “emergency” supplies.
Just go ahead and read the article for more merriment. Good grief, do these people keep anything in the house?
Followup: of course, let’s not forget our own doomsayers here in Murka:
