    Bunnings customer suffers from injury after a sudden, 'excessive' attack

    I have spent 39 years working in the 'legal system' and I have formulated a number of ideas about its worth, failures and the people who administer sentencing.

    This is what is happening with 'Aussie humour', it is disappearing. We could laugh at ourselves, at anything and it was all done together. Now, we have become a 'splintered society', looking for some smutty, hidden meaning or agenda in everything. Bring back the 'Benny Hill humour, Kingswood...

    Haggling With the Dentist

    I was adopted when 6 days old, found out that I was adopted when 22. Mum and Dad had a lot of talk about whether to tell me or not, they decided they would.
