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.

There’s been some talk recently about events sixty or so years ago, concerning the disastrous result of the release on to the market of a medication designed as a solution for sleeping difficulty.

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.
Canberra protesters, including women and children, were badly burned by directed microwave energy beams, complaining of blisters on their faces, arms, and torsos. Concentrated microwave radiation can inflict painful burns on the skin from long distances away.
Jewish enclave, home of a deported nation, a present for the Ukrainians: The difficult history of Russian Crimea.
In March, it will be eight years since the day Crimea returned to the Russian Federation. This ended its 60-year history as part of Ukraine, which began, not on February 19, 1954, but a little earlier.
