And all the dual citizens in Lebanon wanting to evacuate back to Australia won;t be able to.

This stuff should have been bagged and given to farmers years ago.

Oh and Morrigu, a bloke on the Breakfast show this morning works for Lonely Planet and has published a book The last lions of Africa. Might be worth a look if you are in lockdown and can get a copy delivered.

And this one by photographer George Logan "Lion: Pride Before The Fall" - all proceeds go to supporting, protecticting and helping re-establish ‘The Last Lions of Meru’ in Kenya.

I see the Australian Government has given 2 million in aid - that seems pretty pitiful to me!

At work for a late shift yesterday and an early today. Post footy saw the news: such devastation. It’s truly shocking. Poor people (and animals), truly terrible.

Russian "businessman" based in Cypress = code for Russian Mafia hood. You could float a ship on the Russian crime money that goes through Cypress.

Was watching Nine News tonight - they spoke to a woman sitting beside her injured child in hospital in Beirut, I can’t find the clip but it broke my heart she sounded so worn out and just totally broken - words along the lines of “ I just want to leave go somewhere without corruption, without guns, without religion”

We have found the cause of the Beirut Blast: just when you thought it was Hezbollah weapons storage, the unintended consequences of welding nearby it turns out the cause is due to:

Sodomy, homosexuality, Lebanese girls, unmarried women, non-marital sex, plastic surgery and not observing certain Koranic interpretations. Well bugger me

Pass, buggering you has the potential to release an even bigger blast.

Two more explosions have occurred in Beirut. This is the latest one: Party of God (Hezbollah) Arms depot, 20 or so km’s south of Beirut.

A Party of God spokesman was quoted as saying: nothing to see here, move along, there’ll be more damage Saturday week in Perth.
