Wise Words

From the wisdom of Mr Brian all I can post is the following:
People can be ignorant and not be prejudiced, but one cannot be prejudiced without being ignorant.
So perceptive, , so right

Dicko

Tufts of cloud, free
Amidst a blue, blue sky
That's what I'll think of
As I say
Goodbye.
The quintessential larrikin
Australian through and through
Jesus, Mary and Joseph...
Dicko
I'm going to miss you.
A husband to my cousin dear,
A sister I could not hold nearer,
Best every father to four fantastic boys
Now men; tall,strong and proud,
Four blond heads bobbing in the pool
With a Dad who always made time.
Teaching them things about trucks and cars,
Playing "frogger", sending canetoads to the stars
Chants of "Lilliee" still rent the air,
As amongst the clouds I search
And hope that you have found
the rest and freedom
you deserve.
But clouds make no sound.
Love you, Dicko...See ya
IN memory of my cousin, Richard, who died last 1st November, 2005 and will be cremated today.

What are the police for???

It appears there is a conflict in statements as to what happened to a well known commentator whilst at a beachside resort. If what is claimed to have happened, by either party, happened....go to the police. All that is happening now is a media circus, with all the damage being borne by the resort and prospective tourist revenue losses. Why was there the need to go to the media instead of the police?? Why are losses such a a $1200 earring being touted about? Threats of legal action against the parents of the alleged instigators...Any solicitor, not in it for a buck ,will tell anyone that is a waste of time without police charges being laid. If the concern is for the material losses (earring, prescription glasses) many such items are covered by the household insurance and I really think that if the incident occurred with Joe Bloggs involved it would not have made the impact it has. As it stands, neither party has seen fit to go to the police...The locals perhaps because they feel it was nothing, the other party because...Who knows. As an ex policeman, you'd think it'd be the first thing done...Reporting the incident. But time will tell, I guess or big bucks for a good mouthpiece in court.
