I have always enjoyed the sound of Welsh male voices … the male voice choirs are excellent, and of the many soloists one in particular stands out like no other … Sir Thomas Jones Woodward. Tom Jones’ voice has a quality that has made him universally admired and loved in the world of music.

A giant Kangaroo has been terrorising the residents of the isolated outback Australian Community of Beerswig Flats and locals fear it is the first of a new super breed of Rogue Roos infected by a mutant strain of Covid-19.
It has also been suggested that it is Russian collusion or something from the Ukraine. Locals believe it is a strain of Biden Bullshit, a highly virulent bio weapon hatched in a Pentagon funded Bio Lab in Kiev.

When a fellow commenter wrote his article about his days as a dispensing chemist all those years ago, little did I realise that it would excite such commentary on the many social media channels I belong to.... how a chemist is now a drug dealer and a doctor is a pimp for Big Pharma.

At the recent protests against vaccine mandates in Canberra, police deployed long-range acoustic devices (LRADs), which transmit at high volumes and frequencies. A spokesperson for the ACT Police has confirmed that LRAD's ( long range acoustic devices ) were deployed.

Jewish enclave, home of a deported nation, a present for the Ukrainians: The difficult history of Russian Crimea.
