Works in Hong Kong – why not here ?

I was talking on the ‘phone to my nephew, this-morning. This is all I can do, as he lives in his(and my) home town of Perth, over there on the other side of this island continent. We were waxing wroth on things political, as is our wont (although we don’t share identical political views, we […]

Actually, it’ someone else’s last word ! – but on the same topic, and much better and more informatively written. After this, there’ll be no more, I promise. At least, not on the Budget, anyway.:-) Something tells me that I am going to find other things to whinge about in the next 2½ years – […]
