You know, I’m a book addict. Since I was very little books have been all around me. I grew up in a land without TV with parents who read. My Dad read technical books and books on sailing .. and that’s really all I remember about his books .. my Mum, I think she read everything; at least she read everything to me and my little sister. Bedtime stories, Hobbits, Boland light railways under the table in storms. Little golden…
Time, she said, but you have so much more time than we do … Time … I think we all have the same amount of time – I think what you’re trying to say is, that I have so much more Time to spend on worthless things than you do. Yes, we’re all so busy these days … Mm hmm, we were so lazy, so wasteful of time once, weren’t we? What I have had, say I, is more Time…
When I was in my mid-teens a group of my friends decided that we wanted to have our own Lunar Club. A friend Mark A. and I had both read Ben Franklins Autobiography and we liked the idea of getting together around a table and discussing weird and wonderful ideas. It was much easier then .. there was no Internet, so when you learnt things you actually had to trawl through information instead of just getting any old answer that…
? Its a question mark; a mark of ignorance. Usually preceded by a collection of words, it signifies that a question has been asked. Its true that it does not require, in itself, that the preceding collection of words should be answered, though, generally, when one sees this little symbol one jumps to give it an answer. An answer gives the little symbol some dignity .. even to a collection of words that appear to be undignified. So you see…
I saw a shooting star last night, a very bright one very late at night. It shot across our Southern Cross and winked. I like to think its my dog .. letting me know he’s ok, and checking up on me. That’s our job, him and me. Checking up on each other and letting each other know that everything is ok. We have a deal, my dog and I, whoever gets there first .. waits. We know we are going…
He’s been directing traffic all morning, tellin folk that they can’t get around here behind me, where my niece could back the Kings bus about in circles … He’s creating his own little community. There are 900+ of them up here in Union City Queensland trying to break a record. Guinness. No no not drinking it, its too expensive .. theyre RVs, gnomads. They’re out to form the longest line of moving recreational vehicular traffic ever. Ever! They’re going to…
An old, but I’m told, a good recipe to prepare for those rainy days when the kids are nagging you and you just want to find them something productive to do. Its from the ‘Junior Fascist Cookbook’ page 34, 2019 Edition. Once you’ve tried this one theres a great recipe for coal-gas ovens on the following page called ‘How to Turn a Car into a Socialist Crypt’ but lets start with the easy one first. Now the first ingredient –…
Last night Tom Kenneally said, Tough Tony was a good guy, his only problem is that he thinks ‘charity should do the job of government’. He had other problems too … He believes that his god will make our way for us .. but only his god. What a disgrace Australia, heads back into the sand and bare your butts to the Fascist cock. Defeated by fear .. such a great great shame. The flies were a bit thicker this…
“G’day .. thats King speak,” he says. “Looks like you’re a long way from home, you lost?”. No, no says I but I’d also rather not be found. What’s with the Green Shirts and the leaflets? Selling God? “Ha Ha”, he says, “God is all around”. “Where you from?”, he says again, more in a way of intimidation than as a friendly greeting. Its obvious, even to these young country boys & girls, that I’m not from about here. I…
