    #30 Stupidity reaches its pinnacle by those in charge, as Lord West said the ship was our home and as ashore our home was looked after by our mother and we respected our mother and would never have the discourtesy of calling her 'it'. Why does the world give in to snowflakes

    Here in Oz we have a cheese, a very well known chees which goes by the name of 'Coon Cheese'
    The name comes from the original maker a Canadian by the name of William Coon.
    No apparently it has passed it's politically correct use by date and will be renamed.

    Why, is the family going to change their name?????????

    I thought all the Bull#^% about the BLM was to stop being second class citizens, but they want second class hello sailors.

    WE now have the compulsory wearing of masks for now.
    Of course there are some who will not comply.

    One lady was stopped at a check point by police to ask where she was going, refused to give a reply until the cop showed her a virus sample.
    She videod it and laughed at the cop.
    But the laugh was on her when two days later she was arrested.

    Then another who refused to wear a mask was told by police they could do nothing about it.
    When told she was breaking the law and could be arrested she said if they did she would charge them with armed kidnapping!!!!

    Then the one who was refused entry to Bunnings then told the staff member they were picking on her and she would sue them for gender discrimination.

    The problem is this bloody lot breed!!!!!

    I don't think I would have agreed to be called a second class sailor, after the Vindi no one could be called second class or they wouldn't have survived it.
