To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.


No way out? Mayfair Plaza car park, Sandy Bay. November 2011.

Sunday Top Five day already? Okay, okay.

Ummm. A quick flick over to analytics and I've come up with The Top Five Countries That Stop By And Pay A Visit To This Here Blog That I Have Chosen To Title This Will Hurt Me...!


  1. A surprise to me is the prevalence of the denizens of the Dominion of Canada. When not hunting moose or harassing polar bears, it seems that the Canuks are clicking on Hank and Ez!

  2. Less surprising with a strong fourth place are the gut volk of die Bundesrepublik Deutschland! Alles klar everybody!

  3. Just pipping the canny Krauts are the proud citizens of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It what must be said is a pretty poor showing from the poms. Lift your game chaps!

  4. In something of a shock, those of us here in the Commonwealth of Australia have been beaten out to second place. What is more, it wasn't even close. At less than half the hits of the runaway winner, the plucky upstarts from the land down under take second with daylight third.

  5. With little surprise, the winner and reigning champion of the hotly contested This Will Hurt Me... sweepstakes is the self-styled leader of the free world, the United States of America! Congratulations yanks!


Rounding out the ten are the decidedly odd mix of: 6: République Française; 7: Bhārat Gaṇarājya; 8: Latvija; 9: Российская Федерация; and 10: het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden.

A good bunch of countries to be visited by. I wager that a not-so-deep analysis of those stats might somewhat align with the prevalence of internet users by nationality.

Latvia seems to be punching above its weight with the visiting of Tasmanian blogs - 7th on my list. I wonder where those from the other Baltics tend to like reading about?

Carola, good to see Australia make a good run.

Smudgeon, maybe the Lithuanians and Estonians route through Latvia? As a former Secretary of the Lithuanian Studies Society at UTas, I am disappointed that they have not come forward with their support.

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...
