Reference :- There is nothing like mysterious explosions to get us talking at The Sky Reply .
We seem to be enjoying the arrival of an early Autumn here in Kooralya . Ken junior reckoned it was perfect weather to cook porridge for breakfast , much to the disappointment of Dog , who prefers the smell of bacon frying which means he can cadge a few rinds .
Anyway , the news was playing on the wireless , and we heard about those 3 empty buses that mysteriously exploded near Tel Aviv .
" Lucky nobody was hurt. ", I said .
" They say Hamas did it . " , Monte said .
" Why would they do that right now? It will only stir more anger against them . " , Gabbo said .
" Maybe Mr Netanyahu's side did it ? You know, that Mossad agency might have done it . Or maybe some of those aggressive Zionist settlers in the West Bank who don't want the war to end ? " , Ken junior said .
" It would give Mr Netanyahu a perfect excuse to break the ceasefire . " , Monte said .
" He doesn't need an excuse , he has already broken it hundreds of times , killed dozens and wounded hundreds ....then again an excuse does soften world opinion somewhat . " , Gabbo said .
" Maybe that Israeli Finance Minister , Beelzebub Smotrich , did it ? He has been jailed in the past for acts of terrorism . " , Ken junior said .
" His name is Bezalel , you idiot . " , I said
" Whatever . " , Ken junior said .
There were a few moments of silence .
" Bring on the Empty Buses ! " , Gabbo suddenly shouted . And laughed .
" What ? " , I said .
" I am referencing David Niven's book about Hollywood which he titled ' Bring on the Empty Horses' . " Gabbo said .
" That's just silly . Everybody calm down and eat their porridge before it goes cold . " , I said
" I reckon Mr Netanyahu is directing his show using more smoke and mirrors than the most outlandish Hollywood fantasies from David Niven's era . Haha ....... Bring on the Empty Buses ! " , Gabbo said .
Sometimes I wonder what on earth Gabbo is banging on about .
Your comrade , Ken
