Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026however, ask me again in february when it will routinely be in the 40's. i'll probably be even happier!!! 010
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026it's been sitting there, staring us in the face all this time... 021
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The idea traces back to the Roman maxim "Si vis pacem, para bellum" ("If you want peace, prepare for war") and Roman Emperor Hadrian’s border defense strategy. keeping the Scots firmly in place since 122! Trump sees his wall lasting 2000 years as well. 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 10/10/2026public beheadings? how about hung, drawn, and quartered in the public square? 010
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 09/10/2026rail is hard. you can't really put more trains on the rails. safety is one aspect, but the bigger one is platform space at terminal stations. you can't make platforms longer, or add more. and please don't try to pack more bodies in! having said that, they did do it for Waterloo and the Eurostar! 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 08/10/2026wood fires are a disaster for AQ both inside and outside the home. why they should be banned in homes and basically everywhere? you need to read about PM2.5... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... www.epa.vic.gov.au/pm25-particl... ...then get rid of your wood fires for good. 031
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026OMFG... this is on display in the European Parliament right now. i always knew the US would declare war on the EU. i never imagined the trigger would be... this!!! 042
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026who has offered Kemi and the Tories a LOT of money? what the hell threat is this supposed to protect the UK from? who is firing missiles and drones at the UK from overseas? someone is going to make billions from this. 001

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026goodness... i was very much antipodean at the time that happened, and never heard of it. as for Robespierre... does this sound scarily familiar? 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026French protest ranges from the extreme to the comical. in both cases nothing like that exists in the UK. french farmers on the other hand... 100
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i gave up smoking at 16 when i didn't have to ride in the car with my chain smoking parents and "put that bloody window up!!!". promises to cut ciggie tax "for the workers" bring a tear to my eye; back in the 70's it was cutting the price of beer... ...cos ciggies were cheap as chips back then! 110

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026it's all very industrialised in Victoria. hugely automated. you can lose your license easily just going for a bit of an "above the speed limit" drive. 100
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026you're so close to the idea of an EV kit car. have a base platform with drivetrain and then build a car on top of it. you could have most everything from a maserati to a model T running off the same platform. indeed you could have... 051

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026well, here in Victoria, we've just had over 24 hours of quite heavy rain, and... ...some motorists have decided to celebrate it in the traditional way by parking their cars at the York Rd rail underpass in South Melbourne. 011
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026a tad damp here today... up to hour 12 of quite heavy rain. 110
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026here in darkest Maryburgh, i am simply glad we are living on higher ground... 24 hours of rain so far... predicted until sunday lunchtime. does look good in the garden, tho... 020
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026now, find a long bowl like the one pictured (bubbles optional, but there for size reference...) and pour the egg into that. microwave for 90 seconds on high. you end up with what is essentially... a turkish roll shaped and sized omelette that you can just lift out and lay over your bacon! 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/202640 years ago is now only 1986... and... Margaret Thatcher announced her resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on November 22, 1990 so even Thatcher was in on it for 4 years, and indeed must have kicked the whole thing off!!! 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2026again, a post from the #deadBirdSite Liz Truss - and a friend just said that reading the responses gave him brain cancer. the attached video, though. my goodness. the media. Labour. they're all in it together. Telegraph, Express, and Mail... all secretly supporting Labour! x.com/trussliz/sta... 230
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 30/09/2026and the Republican Party, the Party of Law and Order, circles the wagons around Trump to ensure he is not going to have to answer for his crimes. 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 30/09/2026this is a very disturbing read. especially if you want your kids to have kids. marine.copernicus.eu/news/publica... 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sitting on the back terrace listening to the rain on the tin roof. Not bad. 130
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i keep a stock of these on hand to solve such existential quandaries. they're brutally spicy, so i can enjoy a little bit of suffering for my mid-morning snacking sins... 111

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 28/09/2026surely people who are this excessively rich should be permitted to keep slaves and travel around central London in a palanquin! 3155
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 27/09/2026hey! @petramichaela.bsky.social please have the courage to allow people to interact with you. otherwise people will simply screenshot your posts and do with them as they will. plus you won't know that it is happening. "social" media. 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 27/09/2026when it comes to healthcare of the population, you guys are not even 3rd world. healthcare is run as a "massively for profit" operation, and so if you don't have the money, well... and the US tries its hardest to impose this same model on the rest of the world. 010
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 27/09/2026meanwhile... over on the #deadBird site... and so, life in the US goes on, very much as it has this past Age 110

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 23/09/2026will Trump now call for defunding the UN and banning them from transacting in US dollars? afterall, if they're based in NY then clearly they have to operate solely in the interest of the US, and be subject to Executive Orders from Trump! is there precedent for this? hell, yes!!! 000

Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Jean Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg... Sir. The council is worried about the economy heating up. They wondered if it'd be possible to fire 500000. Maybe from one of the smaller companies where no one would notice... Fire one million. But 500000... One million. Fine, sir. Sorry to have disturbed you. 000
Paul McO'Smith III @pavsmith.bsky.social · 21/09/2026two stories back to back in @australia.theguardian.com i suspect they've discovered a small problem. 000
