Ain't it Sweet? No

Whilst driving around a few days ago, I heard on the radio a snippet about grants being made available for home renovations. Well, I got kind of excited about this because my bathroom is a shabby mess in dire need of a makeover. My dining and living rooms need to be gyprocked and painted, and my  kitchen needs a splashback. My laundry needs tiles. The bedrooms need built-ins (well, they don't really need built-ins, but built-ins would be nice). Fast forward a few days when the catch has been landed: this grant is only available to people seeking to outlay $150,000.00 on renovations. I don't need work in that vicinity, and I am not going to re-mortgage my home just to possibly access $25,000.00 in grants to fix it up. If I had a lazy $150,000.00 for renovation expenditure, I'm not about to worry about jumping through the Government's hoops for what really amounts to a mere piss in the ocean in the renos budget. This grant helps nobody except those already rather well-off, and if you've got $150,000.00 to chuck at renovations, then it is my submission that you are rather well-off. Of course, our Liberal government are great friends to the already rather well-off, so maybe instead of giving money to those already rather well-off, perhaps put the coin set aside for this ill-conceived scheme towards public housing?

Just when I thought 2020 couldn't get worse, today news came through Steve Priest has died. If you don't know who he was, think about the opening spoken dialogue in the old Sweet song Ballroom Blitz. First line is Brian Connolly asking, 'Are you ready, Steve?', to which a man would reply, 'Uh-huh'.  Remember now? Well, that's Steve. That song was on the first album I ever bought with my very own pocket money:

Steve is the member to the far left. These guys were amazing musicians and vocalists, with four-part  harmonies giving Queen a run for their money. They did some bubble gum in the early Seventies, but were also prevalent in the glam rock movement, and anybody who knows me well knows I likes me a bit of glam. As well as this, I bought their 1976 album Give Us A Wink - the song Lies in  Your Eyes really showcased their talents. RIP Steve, reunited with your bandmates Mick (far right) and Brian (blonde gentleman). Eat a dick, 2020.

I will share another photo of some people who make me think it is time for the cosmos to hoik another asteroid at our planet;

Superior jeans, hey? Too bad we can't see them under the white sheet. What are superior jeans? I'm wearing Levis at the moment. Are those the ones? Anyway, have a look at this picture and you will see what can happen when inbred unwashed have intercourse with and impregnate their own sisters.
