Here’s Kelly Brook, looking fine as always on her way to work:
No need to thank me, it’s all part of the service.

More from the world of dietary science:
Regular meat-eaters are more likely to suffer from chronic health conditions than those who shun or ration animal products, a study from the University of Oxford has found.
The research found a meat-lover who eats 70 grams of meat — processed or unprocessed — more than a peer is at 15 per cent higher risk of heart disease, 30 per cent more likely to get diabetes and almost a third (31 per cent) more likely to develop pneumonia in the future.
I did the work so you don’t have to: 70 grams is about 2.5 oz…
Whatever. According to this lot, I should have died about 15 years ago, given that my daily breakfast contains inter alia a large piece of boerewors.
And yet, here we are.
News Roundup
With commentary, spicy like Odalys Garcia:
…apparently there was some Hollywood awards show, and a few trendies and old Commies sounded off, like anyone outside their own circle cares what they think anymore. Viewership was 5.1 million, compared to Trump’s CPAC speech with 31 million online viewers. LOL
…a great idea for spending a whole bunch of other people’s money on a movie that maybe 0.0000005% of the Western world will actually pay to see, e.g. the previous such effort, Ballbusters. And speaking of which:
A mother-of-three spat pepper spray into a police officer’s eye after it was fired into her face and mouth as she was arrested in Bristol
…for some reason, I just can’t seem to find any sympathy for P.C. Pepperspray.
…how about the “politics of fuck you”, you racist hustler.
Never mind, President Bigbucks is riding to the rescue:
…and as a real African American, I cannot wait for you honkies to gimme wass ri’ fooey mine.
…yeah, why IS that, President Braindead?
…which would be like saying that someone’s cough has got better, now that he’s dead. More to the point: WTF is the “World Economic Forum” and why should anyone be listening to them anyway?
…and no doubt, the next Republican president is going to make him as dead as Bin Laden (because President Mail Fraud sure as hell won’t).
…surprising as it may seem to some Brits, not everyone in the world cares about the antics of some titled twat.
…[insert cock joke here]
…in Portland-Am-Rhein.
…and yet Over Here, we can’t even indict the bureaucrats who tried to undermine a legally-elected Republican President. And speaking of which:
…as if just being John Brennan wasn’t embarrassing enough.
Did someone say, “More Odalys Garcia”?
Thought so.
Quote Of The Day
“H‑E‑B has done more for Texas than our own government leadership for the past year.
I literally trust a southern grocery store chain more than the people whose job is to be there for us when we need them.” — Miles Luna #BLM (@TheMilesLuna) February 18, 2021
Not going to argue with that. Our Central Market (owned by H-E-B) was Johnny-on-the-spot when the SHTF two weeks back.
Reader Mike S says that Floridians feel the same about Publix. Anyone else on their local chains?
Might Get Me One

That would be what we call the Tacoma, Over Here:
Just wondering whether the roof struts are strong enough to handle the mount… not that I’m thinking of doing anything revolutionary, of course.
Sadly, New Wife is not of the Pickup Truck Persuasion, and point-blank refuses to let me get one when it comes time to trade in the Tiguan.
Too bad; I rather fancied this version:
No End In Sight
Here’s a sign of the times, and it’s not pretty. As any fule kno, Georgia Arms is one of the biggest reloaders / sellers of “bulk” ammo, whether in minimum purchase requirements or else their “Canned Lightning” (ammo can) option. Well, here’s what I saw the last time I looked at their website, a couple days back:
That’s not three cases (their normal sales unit), but three boxes. Aaaargh.
From Chris Metz, CEO of Vista Outdoors (Federal, CCI, Speer and Remington) about ammo demand and shortages:
“Demand has been really strong across the board — any type or caliber of handgun ammo: small rifle, big rifle, hunting rifle, even rimfire — all of it really picked up. And we’re not seeing an end. We talk to a big database of users on a monthly basis, and one thing we’re noting is that what we call ‘heavy shooters’, those who shoot 10,000 rounds or more a year, a lot of them haven’t been purchasing. They’ve seen the frenzied activity and are holding back in hopes it’ll subside. Well, we all know what’s going to happen when they work through their stockpiles and, at some point, come back to the market. So no, we don’t foresee any slowdown in the market in 2021.”
I’m not quite in the group of heavy shooters Metz is talking about — I used to be, not that much anymore — but I know my weekly shooting trips have dwindled to about once every three weeks, and I’m shooting 50 rounds where once I used to burn through 100-150 rounds per session. I’m reduced to doing 30-minute dry-fire exercises each day — and how sucky is that.
Jason Hornady:
“You know which consumers are maddest? The ones who normally buy two boxes of deer ammo a year. They go into their local shops and can’t believe the shelves are bare.”
All the manufacturers are reporting not only worker fatigue but also machine stress, which is also problematic. There are even shortages of DOT-required spec shipping boxes, FFS, let alone primers and cases.
So all those years of nagging people about National Ammo Day sure taste sour in my mouth right now, because I get no joy whatsoever in saying “I told you so.”
