Goodness And Mercy Will Follow You…
All the days of your life. Resign yourself to that. The thing is, you do not have to stay on the strait and narrow…where you might be easily overtaken. You can dodge sideways and hide in the crooked cracks of society. Some of us want to take it easy. Some want a stiff moral struggle.…

One Of Those Life-Changing Moments
We are often presented with tales of other people’s life-changing moments. They are generally used to bolster some sales pitch for religion, or sobriety, or time share apartments in Adelaide. The rubes eat them up and, with any luck, reach for their wallets. But no-one ever mentions the real pivotal points that shape our future.…

Book Week
Let’s all dress up as our favourite disease. No, wait. That’s medical textbook week. Cancel those running sores. Books are a wonderful thing when enjoyed privately – they entertain, instruct, console, and comfort.

Funny Is Dangerous
I have discovered that funny is dangerous. Bit late, I hear you say, but remember that I was brought up on funny that had great timing and pauses between gags. And no bad words. Funny that wasn’t drunk at a pub. Now I’m not talking about making fun of others – mocking them. We all…

Sexual Favours – The XXX – Rated Piñata
We’ve all read that term;” sexual favours ” and thought we knew what it meant. Ditto ” sexual harassment “, ” sexual content “, etc. I put it to you that we have all been remiss in our reading – there are far more sexual phrases that need to be incorporated into our daily conversation.…

I Apologise To All Whom the Guild Has Failed To Offend
It has been a busy season and some stations on the social railway have remained necessarily unattended. People have had to embarrass or insult themselves in the absence of trained staff members. The mental porters have not be available to help with the psychological baggage and passengers have had to lump it themselves. With such…
