Mental picture of a cat sitting on Belinda Neale’s bed. Jasper perhaps ?
FD
kipfler spuds indeed…maybe bintje potatoes would have been a better choice - now whilst they aren’t cigar in shape, they are oblong, have a cream coloured skin (much suited that kipfler’s yellow hue) and most importantly (and apparently) are one of the few potatoes that you can cook in six different ways - boil/mash, serve in a salad, dry bake, roast, fry and microwave. kipflers i am informed cannot be fried nor microwaved! the PM these days needs to keep all his options open!
Or, Michael M, the generous spunta potato would also do the trick.
Jasper has much to answer for today.
There’s no asterisk!! So which bit is true?? That Jasper is running the Bingle thingle, or the pussy pulsimeter panel proposal part?
Oh. There it is..
What about those huge old-fashioned brown potatoes? When he’s finished poncing around he can eat them. Which would have been a good solution to the great Irish potato famine.
I must say Jasper is a puss cat for all seasons. I’m dying to see the result of the photo shoot. Will her bangle dingle?
Oscar(?) the old peoples’ cat was removed by the hospital. Hopefully he was given away, as opposed to being terminated.
Love the mohair chest holder. Oops, pot holder.
Will her bangle dangle? That’s better.
I think Kevin should put Wayne Swan inside his Speedos, and they can be budget smugglers.
Is the cat panel the same as a CAT Scan?
Coincidentally, I am just starting my 3rd week in hospital in Sydney today (I’ve received 2 new stainless steel knees) so am a bit of an authority on hospitals at the moment (albeit private ones). Like, WTF?! - why do they wake us up at 6am by taking our water jugs away when they don’t return them until 7am, and breakfast isn’t until 7.45am! What would Jasper say?
BUZZ: Jasper would prescribe a dose of First Blog on the Moon.
BUZZ: Best of luck with the recovery. However, you know nothing! A few years ago I had an operation for diverticulitis, this involved eighteen days without food plus the only water was crushed ice-for the first week.
The agony of listening to the food trolleys going up the passageway, and the clink, clink of water containers passing me by.
The moral to that story is to eat masses of fruit, vegies and horrible things like millet. And get well soon.
Bloody hell Buzz. Hope the knees up is going well. We all need you to be fit enough to give Tone a a dose of stainless steel in the budgies come election time.
As for that wretched media whore Jasper……He’s obviously been bought off by “The Monthly” for a buck a word and has left poor Abbie holding the balloon.
Buzz asks what would Jasper say when they come to take the water jugs at 6am: I reckon Jasper would give them a spray. And then he’d likely give them a proper spray.
Yeah, best of, for a speedy recovery, Buzz. Can we call you “Tin Legs” now ?
I reckon FDotM owes you a pair of knee socks.
They wake you up at six o’clock so the ones that don’t make it don’t miss the morning deaddy-bones cart - and they can refill the bed without missing a moment’s cash flow.
Beats me why anyone in hospital regards hospital “food” as being edible.
I’ll be right over with the chateaubriand and bomb alaska, just after the muppets.
Cheers !
DENISE MARCOS: Excellent hypothesis!
EMC - budget smugglers ! Ace !
Venise / Denise M - were you hinting at “Sebagoes” ?
I’m up for an occasional Pontiac, myself.
MIKE JONES: Are the Pontiacs the red ones? I’m thinking something even bigger. They are revolting to cook with-especially not to be used making creamy, buttery, slightly garliciky, tummy filling, orgasmic mashed spuds; sprinkled with some chopped up parsley, ground pepper and salt to taste.
The ones I’m thinking of go to water ASAP, and they used to be the only ones available. Thank god we had so many immigrants who brought good food with them. Ditto coffee.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers V
Thanks guys. Just got the word - robo knees go home to Canberra on Friday.
@Mike Jones: I’ve noticed the Star Trak courier truck arrives early each morning.
[Firstdog says: Hope it all works out for you and your knees Buzz]
Buzz: Get well soon but take it easy.
Jasper and Arsehat Media would be formidable lobbyists for big Pharma. Can you imagine the class action conferences.
Go Abigail!
Funny you mention that, Fascinated. The rumour is that Big Tobacco are headhunting Jasper… don’t worry, cats avoid rats that big.
Buzz, only 4 more sleeps & you’re sprung!
Venise, the Sebagoes are the dirty big brown ones. Old fashoined but pretty good. I used to use the red pontiacs because I was put off by the dirt on the other ones (mud when you peel them). But you’re right - otherwise Pontiacs are totally forgettable.
I suspect that pretty soon what we’ll get will only be the ones suitable for making into fries in red cardboard containers with some strange yellow “M” logo thing.
A latex jumpsuit. Nice. Will we see the return of rubbery figures then?
Sweet potatoes.

Mike Jones: Then Sebagoes they are, the ‘being covered in mud’ clinches it. Thanks
You wouldn’t be referring to the famous Scottish restaurant?
