Twelve months ago I had no hope. John Winston was firmly entrenched on the Prime Ministerial Chesterfield, David Hicks was locked in a cage, and George W. Bush was the president of the USA. OK, I wasn’t wrong on the last part but, in the course of twelve months Australia got a new government, David Hicks was released and I got my grove back.
This is just a quick post, written in an internet Cafe in Brisbane, to wish my readers a Happy New Year and to say never give up hope. The world turns quickly and so can we.
And if you are in Melbourne on NYE, come up and say hello. I’ll be the dude dancin’ like a demon at the Market.

I am off to Queensland so ta ta for now. I might write while I am away, but I am suffering a severe lack of rage and distemper now that Kevin07 has toppled the evil rodent.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Last week I had occasion to enter into a building on Swanston Street, Melbourne. On my way in, I noticed there was a rough-nut slumped over a wheelie bin. He had flies circling, but appeared to be quite comfortable. I thought he was probably a bit tiddly and having a rest while he regained his composure. Lord knows, I’ve had to do that.
When I walked past again some 45 minutes later, my booze-hound mate was still there. Concerned for his welfare I yelled, “mate are you ok?” There was no answer. I yelled again and I gave him a tap. No answer, no movement. I couldn’t tell if he was breathing. “Mmmmm,” I thought, ”maybe I should call an ambulance.”
Two very handsome Ambos came and I explained to them that he had been there for quite some time and was un-responsive. Big, beefy Ambo (OK, they are all quite hot and I do fancy men in uniform) walked up and thumped the guy on the back. He came to quickly and looked really startled as he was obviously legless.
When he stood up I remarked to one of the ambos, “Oh look, he’s wearing an ETU T-shirt.” Ambo replied, “John Howard warned us about this.”
