I’ve been hoping that someone else would post on the ‘Great Australian Media Hoax’. But since no one has – I’m going to stick my neck out …
As I am sure most here are aware – two young Australian radio presenters phoned the King Edward VII hospital pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles. The call was put through. The nurse who put the call through has, allegedly, committed suicide and the two young people have been accused of causing that death. Continue reading “Only My Opinion”
May I add my thanks to The Royalist’s comment to everyone for keeping the Chariot going while I’ve been in the UK sorting out things for my mother … I promise to do better when I get back to Oz later this week.
Many thanks for the photos. There were just five entries, all extremely interesting:
LW’s entry of an obviously much loved and well-used recliner.
FEEG’s photo of an equally well-sat upon garden seat.
Araminta’s picture of chair over-loaded with teddy bears.
JM’s amusing snap of a deckchair.
and Pseu’s delightful image of a seat that is no longer a seat!
Very hard to make a decision – but in the end I chose…. Continue reading “Results Photo Competition #30”
Julian Assange?
As I said in my post, This is Not about Assange, some two years ago, I felt very strongly that WikiLeaks was a necessary counterbalance to Governments who wanted to keep their actions out of sight of public scrutiny.
As an Australian, I was appalled that my Government condemned him the minute American politicians said that he should be assassinated.
As an Englishwoman, I have been disgusted how the UK has treated him and have used the ‘Process of Law’ to virtually imprison him for two years and, eventually, to agree to send him to Sweden – from where he would, inevitably,have been sent to the US.
I repeat: he has broken no laws in Australia, the UK or, even, the USA – since none of his actions occurred in any one of those countries. One may not approve of his actions – and I aware that some here do not – but the Law should be based on ‘Natural Justice’ and not Disapproval.
I am quite sure that Ecuador has its own agenda in granting Assange Political Asylum – but I, for one, am pleased that they have done so.
Chairs have been much on my mind the last few days. With more living space we’ve had to buy extra furniture – and I’ve been looking for new seating. I found just the thing – a huge round almost two seater. I’m not sure that Bearsy likes it – but I do!
I wanted to set a competition with a subject that anyone could find in their own home – and I remembered this painting. It’s always amazed me that a picture of an uncomfortable chair can be ‘worth’ a fortune.
So the competition this time is a photo of a chair – as artistically arranged as you can make it!
The deadline is 12.00 midnight UK time Saturday 18th of August.
A friend bought us this shrub. It is so pretty that I’d like to plant a couple in the ‘new’ garden. But, I have no idea what it is called and my friend can’t remember its name either.
Any idea, anyone?
I’m quite sure that most people here have thought that my lack of comments lately have been due to my playing with my new toy. And that is, in part true. I think I know what every button and icon does. It’s a great machine – and I am well pleased with it.
