Australia didn’t declare, they were bowled out both innings. That said, superb effort from India but a disastrous series for the home team. Racism in the Covid limited crowd, classless sledging from behind the w […]

Sadly it is true though it depends, to an extent, on interpretation. Obviously the US has the highest overall rate of imprisonment but Indigenous Australians are the most incarcerated by percentage of population. […]

It’s hard not to see it as window dressing. Indigenous Australians, despite comprising 2.3% of the general population constitute 27% of people in custody, making them the most incarcerated cultural group in the w […]

Not necessarily. Perhaps his mum didn’t have any knickers on.

It happened in Edinburgh in the 1990’s. February 22nd 1997 to be exact.
I was attending a rehearsal at a venue in the Royal Mile and had taken a quick coffee break. Waiting for my chai latte with cinnamon […] -

I haven’t yet seen this movie but i’m pretty keen to, if only to try and find the middle course between Mike’s enthusiastic review and the contrary view maintained by almost every Australian critic. There’s […]

Have you considered the lack of response might be because jokes are meant to be funny?

You’re right of course – the proper analogy would be bitter or, alternatively, ouzo… if this was 1959.
Stupid me, I thought we’d moved on … -

Hmm, ok – so it’s fair game to purport that people from the Thames estuary are pasty faced royalists then?

Hey Bob. I can concede your second para which at least purports a cogent political argument, even though I don’t happen to agree with it. On the other hand, your faintly racist points – ouzo and leather jacket, […]

That would have been the brilliant and much underrated ‘Malice Aforethought’. Elements of Crippen definitely, but apparently based on the celebrated Herbert Armstrong case.
