Welcome to this Tumblr mini blog. It contains views in brief by Michael Gorey.Following
Michael played soccer in the rain and mud this afternoon. He came home looking like a monster from the deep.
I heard on the radio that North Melbourne and Hawthorn were playing in heavy rain at Launceston.
You don’t see or hear of many AFL games in the rain these days.
I remember when most of the Melbourne grounds were mud heaps in July and August.
It’s a shame to hear the Tasmanian Devil is now endangered.
The iconic Australian species was listed as vulnerable after the appearance of a facial tumor disease in 1996, but it has now wiped out 70 percent of the population.
I’ve been in Queensland (Yeppoon) since Friday and haven’t seen the sun yet.
There hasn’t been much rain, just endless grey skies. The forecast is for more of the same indefinitely.
I have to question how the “sunshine state” got its name.
A new Heineken commercial offers a true reflection on the difference between men and women.
My handiness is confined to helping people with computer problems or anything that involves words.
Sadly I’m near helpless with household tools, running repairs and odd jobs.
In circumstances when a drain needs unplugging or such like we hire a little man.
It’s great the British Government is planning to offer a lifeline to its estimated 750 citizens who are struggling as pensioners in Zimbabwe.
What about the elderly white people who served the colonial government, but don’t have British citizenship?
When Mugabe came to power they were promised pensions under the Lancaster House Agreement. They also had a reasonable expectation of proper health care.
Britan should have sought years ago to enforce that agreement, using military means if necessary.
it was late 1996. I was 29 and my second son had just been born.
I had bought a Windows 95 PC with a 2GB hard drive and connected by dial-up to a local telecentre.
Netscape was the preferred browser. The web seemed a giant brave new world, but in reality there was very little content online then.
South Australia is enduring a heat wave. It should be a lot cooler there, and if it’s not I’ll escape to the beach.
Aboriginal leader and academic Mick Dodson has been named Australian of the Year at a ceremony outside Parliament House in Canberra.
Professor Dodson, a tireless campaigner for indigenous rights, was presented the award by the prime minister a year after Kevin Rudd apologised to the stolen generations.
The Yawuru man, originally from the Broome area, takes over the mantle from country singer Lee Kernaghan.
This award should be scrapped. A country singer one year, an Aboriginal leader the next. Next year a tiddlywinks champion.
