Paul Kelly - "How To Make Gravy" - YouTube

 

"Without wishing to confirm every stereotype England cricket fans have about us, the only Christmas carol that can be described as authentically Australian involves a criminal. The Paul Kelly song How To Make Gravy  is about a newly imprisoned man lamenting the fact he will be separated from his family at Christmas. In his 2010 memoir, also called How To Make Gravy, Kelly said the song was inspired by the often-forgotten spoken prologue to Irving Berlin’s White Christmas which ends “There’s never been such day in old LA, but it’s December 24th and I am longing to be up north.” Kelly was struck how Berlin “intensified the feeling of Christmas by writing about not being there”.
Loneliness pervades Kelly’s song with heartbreaking lyrics such as “Won’t you kiss my kids on Christmas Eve” and “I’m even gonna miss Roger ‘cause there’s sure as hell no one in here I want to fight”. It is this sense of loneliness which makes the song distinctly Australian."

You don't have to be Australian to think this is the single best Christmas song written in the last half-century. God knows I do, & the proof is when my eyes...

 

Pell witchhunt: new conspiracy theory

The media witch hunt against  George Pell has just taken a strange new twist with a series of tweets by a former Herald Sun journalist that have been picked up by The Guardian. The bizarre claim: that I somehow got the journalist dumped for her reporting on Pell. The truth? Read on.

  "George Pell has just taken a strange new twist with a series of tweets by a former Herald Sun journalist that have been picked up by The Guardian. "Bolt

This is the most noticeable quote here with regard conspiracy and it says it all but it's not what it appears to be. The once a rooster now feather duster ex Herald Sun journalist Lucy Morris- Marr has been transformed into the she-devil by Bolt yet again. I wonder whether her family thinks she is one or have they too become conspirators against Pell?  Do her friends and neighbors have an inkling of the ground swell movement on the rise implied by  Bolt's fake banner of a new conspiracy he is in immediate need to head off? Let's have a guess the story is nothing to do about Lucy Morris- Marr at all, it's all about Andrew Bolt. It has nothing to do about George Pell either it's all about Andrew Bolt.  Is it Fake News you be the judge.

"The truth? I publish it here so you don't have to read it there, even presuming that The Guardian would report it." Bolt. The bitch is and they are all liars!!!

The Truth? " Morris-Marr, a senior writer on the Herald Sun, defended her story, saying it was not the result of leaks or a smear campaign but grew out of an old-fashioned investigation." Lucy Morris Marr Andrew Bolt lashes out at Herald Sun reporter over George Pell story ... 

"And here is one more thing I know. This leak stinks." Bolt.  His evidence of a leak none.

 

Bolt did in fact treat hard journalistic effort as mere vexatious gossip and leaks he trivialized the reporter. He himself doesn't put in any such effort himself. The lack of  any true news culture at News Corp is well known globally. News Corp execs and their senior staff like Bolt are ready to step on any real journalists like cockroaches to get attention. To put it mildly Bolt hates University trained journalists and the schools they come from, their philosophy and teaching. They highlight the fact that he hasn't had any and that he's not in the business of news. 

This post's banner  shows  just how misleading Andrew Bolt is. The post it's not about Pell at all. It is in fact all about Andrew Bolt!! Judge Bolt on his history he readily starts a smearing wars  particularly against those who can't reply, even Pell was afforded that right by the Royal Commission and his PR agent Andrew Bolt. Bolt has never had a moments hesitation even maligning Pell's boss Pope  Francis for not being a stand up guy like George. He feels free to smear and mock him and does regularly. That's just the sort of journalist he is. His main line of defense against Marr is the Sgt Shultz response of "I knew nothing" but that simply defines him as the media man he is.

 Bjorn again – » The Australian Independent Media Network


In December 2015, Australia made a commitment to the global goal “to hold average temperature increase to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to keep warming below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” Then in March 2016, the Turnbull government signed an agreement to make a $640,000 grant to Bjørn Lomborg to write yet another climate contrarian…
You can't find his book here and we paid for it. Scammed again naturally!
