Here in Godzown country we have a social security organisation called DOCS. I think it’s full name is Department of Community Services but for many over the years it’s become known as the Department of Child Suffering. Again and again the papers report cases where kids in need have not received the help they desperately … More DoCS – really so bad?

In three weeks (22nd August) the three men convicted of organising and carrying out the Bali bombings that killed 88 Australians (amonst many others) will be taken to a beach at dawn, blindfolded and shot dead. I’m not sure this is desirable in the slightest. Even leaving out my ongoing abhorrence of a death penalty, … More Bali bombers to die soon.

She and my mother have known each other for over 80 years. They were children in school together, They grew up … More On a theme

My parents as you may remember, came over last year for Xmas and stayed until Easter before leaving for home and the warmth of the UK summer. They are are now suggesting coming back *this* year for the same deal… a six month stint – if they can manage it. And there’s the run as … More The oldies part 2??

Next week will be the big push… again.
