Jim Peïos 🇦🇺🥊⚽️ 🏏 Bolt the door.

Comedy AI 😂😁. My ‘Pool had a goal scored against them yesterday by the opposition. The ball was handled by their forward’s fingers. The law states that ‘if the ball is handled in the penalty area either intentionally or by accident’ it’s a no goal. @eamonfitzpatrick/post/DX6I1n2DRl6?xmt=AQF0flRTod2ngM64sfK45nGEJdveVfz-QcT8yMefp-BzmYbKkR6Gxb_4R9uRLFIemhG8B2O6&slof=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.com/@eamonfitzpatr…

@ausstockchick If she increases for the 3rd time she’ll be decreasing for the 3rd time in a few months quicker than you can whistle Dixie.

Thoughts on the interest rate decision tomorrow? #auspol

@peekaboo_jen Those sabers suit the Frasers. The McKenzies? Ah, not so much.

*insert lightsaber sounds* #maythe4thbewithyou #outlander

Scorpions - Wind Of Change (Official Music Video) youtu.be/n4RjJKxsamQ?si… via @YouTube Hadn’t heard it in ages. About changes in the Soviet Union with Perestroika. Little did they know that a drunk called Yeltsin would eventually sell the country out to 8 billionaire crooks.

instagram.com/p/DX4EaJfCEJw/… Back to back… and back to back… and back to back cruising by this couple. Had to be Aussies. Good bloody idea mate.

@PeteWargent @GrayConnolly Nothing like the English countryside.

@GrayConnolly from glorious Lincolnshire

Good morning all & OTD in 1979, Margaret Thatcher became the new Conservative Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the first female Prime Minister. All three of Britain's female Prime Ministers have been notional Conservatives.

When I was a travel agent I would be asked by elder customers planning a Rhine river cruise “What if we don’t want to go to all the free daily excursions.” Well, I’d say to them, you can do as little or as much as you like on holidays. It also applies to river cruising.

@qwnofeverything @DecodingFoxNews 😂

@DecodingFoxNews You know, I’ve heard about a girl that for years has been selling seashells by the seashore. Just sayin

Does it count if it’s candy? When I opened the bag the candy fell out and made this shape. When are they banging down my door? Will Kash Patel investigate this for months? 🤔👮🏻‍♀️👮🏽‍♂️🚔🚨

@Josmun50 @qwnofeverything In my case as long as they ask only history, geography… and ⚽️ history haha.

@JimPeios @qwnofeverything I would want you both on my triviateam.....how is your Dutch?🤭😅

instagram.com/p/DXmsJ2BCGJ4/… Phew, thank God my wife never gets hysterical. She leaves that to me 😁. This is what you give your wife in 1952(the year of my birth btw- 8 May) Anyway I digress. What was this stuff supposed to do for her. Really? Geez.

@qwnofeverything 👍

@JimPeios LOL I don’t know much, but I know a little about a lot of stuff. You’d want me on your trivia team

@qwnofeverything Bloody hell Rae, you’re a font of all knowledge. I must have been living the life of a monk.

@JimPeios It actually wasn’t. A Dr started doing this for one client and the orgasm relieved symptoms of feeling depressed or anxious. So to help women, he invented it. Idk if he had a patent, but by all reports, it worked well. Maggie Gyllenhaal did a movie and a documentary about it

@ausstockchick Retrospective abolition of the halving of the CGT deduction? Can’t see it but we will find out soon enough.

Just read the amount of MPs that have been offloading property across Australia since November is staggering. What does that tell you? #auspol

@qwnofeverything What! Had no idea. Sounds like it was another money making opportunity by some sleaze bag medico. That’s my opinion anyway.

@JimPeios Fun fact for you Jim. That’s what vibrators were invented for. To calm women’s hysteria. The Dr would do it manually, but it was time consuming, so a Dr invented a vibrator for the women and after a few years, they would sell them to women. Mostly 1880’s-2020’s. Still in use tho

@qwnofeverything You’re a wealth of knowledge Rae. The 50’s were such a seminal period in American history. Full employment, house ownership at its highest. One wage was all that was required to meet all needs etc etc. And then the pharmaceutical companies enter the fray.

@JimPeios Like Valium. The whole decades of the 50’s-60’s had drs prescribing Valium to women to help them with all their hysteria and nervous breakdowns. The Rolling Stones wrote a song about it. “19th Nervous Breakdown.”

@Deadliftgrl Yes. When I put the whole itinerary up folks will see what’s involved. In the meantime these are the opening two pages. I’ll put everything up in the next couple of days. Helen got it as an email. It must be in colour because it’s come out dark.

@JimPeios Aside from the scenery, the stops on towns along the way seem lovely.

It’s rather interesting that millions of years after plate tectonics separated Scotland from the American Blue Ridge Mountains, the 18th century Highland Scots found refuge and new chances in those very same mountains. #outlander

@Deadliftgrl The minimum. 120 klms approx; otherwise we can’t get the ‘passport’ stamped to say we did it. It’s been curated by one of the best Camino organisers in Australia. He’s my eldest son’s best mate in school. They were high academic achievers in high school.

@JimPeios Devout friends of mine did that last fall. I can’t remember the exact camino they did but it was very long. They loved it. Which walk are you doing?

@Deadliftgrl Go for it DLG. I’ve just got my itinerary for my Camino walk in September. I will post it in the next day or so. Cheers.

@JimPeios My next trip in the fall is likely Yellowstone, Tetons, Jackson Hole etc. I just got back fm a quick trip to Nashville then to Kentucky. Lovely and so fun.

@peekaboo_jen 🍺🍺🍺

@JimPeios Not a bad chap, that Jamie guy. I think he would get a few beers on the house if he made his way down under.

Today, we celebrate the 305th birthday of James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. The original Jamie Fraser. Book Jamie. Diana's man in a kilt. Our man in a kilt, too. A man of action. A man who protects, serves, defends, fights, leads when needed, and follows when not. A man of honour. A man of strength. A man who loves unabashedly, with his mind, his body, his soul, and his whole heart. A son. A brother. A godson. An uncle. A husband. A father. A Laird. A clansmen. A friend. A soldier. A fighter. A foe. And, so many other roles that would take forever to list. But, irrespective of the role he does his very best, or what is required, for those within the relationship. He is a man of intelligence. A strategist liaising with kings, governments, and military men. He is a planner. He is a problem solver. Sometimes, a problem creator, too. But, I digress. He is tracker. He has to be good at finding people. His wife wanders off. A lot. He is a polyglot. He is proficient in at least 10 languages, including English, Scottish Gaelic, French, Latin, Greek, German, Spanish, Hebrew, some Chinese, and Tuscarora. He also learns Polish and Cherokee later in the series. He is funny. He is so bloody funny. There are so many moments when I have laughed out loud whilst reading Diana's books. “Brianna? What an awful name for a wee lassie.” “I will love ye forever. It doesna matter if ye sleep with the whole English army--well, no,” he corrected himself, “it would matter, but it wouldna stop me loving you.” “I love you,” he said softly... “As an egg loves salt. Dinna fash, mo chridhe. I'll think o' something else.” “What possessed ye, woman, to hit me in the heid wi' a fish whilst I was fighting for my life?” He is a man of his time, and, yet, his ability for emotional understanding and growth far exceeds any other character within the series. His emotional literacy is always growing, and evolving. He learns from those around him. He listens when others would charge ahead. He watches those around him and adapts his actions and reactions accordingly. He takes responsibility for his actions, and apologises when he has made a mistake. He is the King of Men Yes, indeed he is. He is a lover. He is a family man. He is a man of faith. He never gives up, no matter how hard it is. He is a born storyteller. He is a Scot, to the bone. Jamie Fraser is all of these things, and so many more, to so many different people. To me, he is my favourite literary character. To me, he is the heart and soul of Outlander. He always was. He always will be. To celebrate Jamie's birthday I have put together some of my favourite Jamie Fraser quotes. The list is by no means exhaustive. And, I've tried to include some different ones, too. What are some of your favourites? I will always be so very thankful to Diana Gabaldon for creating Jamie Fraser. For sharing him with us. He was with us long before the TV adaptation, and he will be with us long after the TV adaptation's final episode has aired. He will live on forever in the pages of Diana's books, in our hearts, and in our imaginations. Happy birthday, Jamie. #jamiefraser #outlander
