On my walk
On my walk this morning there was a young woman and her small boy who didn't want to go to school. In frustration the woman yelled "you have to go to school. SCHO double LL" Makes one wonder how badly we are doing at training. At school and after school. Discipline Commitment and Learning are probably three areas where we need to start a new curriculum.

Charities
Chuck me hat on the ground and stamp on it I thought I heard everything. Well I ain't cause on that Macka's radio show Australia All Over this Sunday morning, there was this bloke who has started a charity to help charities. Now if that ain't havin your cake and eaten it too I don't know what. I think I will start a charity to help insurance companies who need our help. Donations for my favorite insurance company can be sent to the NRMA insurance and mention Gundagai. Na just forget it. I will survive longer than the euro and cost you less.

I did say that there was going to be good stuff on my site.
This is a Russian site and it shows people are people all around the world lets not fight for politicians ever again. New rules for war the leaders of the waring countries have to face it off with dueling pistols. That means all the war making companies will close down and the money can be spent on people. My dream yes dreams of grandeur as was once said of me....

This will be the weapon that will be used to attack the Australian federal parliament in the coming years. Yes individual greed is nothing compared to national greed. The attack will come from inside Australian borders.

4 corners diver death ABC tv
Many years ago I was employed as a diver on board a boat called the Kennedy off McKay in Queensland. The pay cuts were used even back then I was from Wollongong and had to travel at my expense. The price was reduced as we were leaving the dock. I arrived in Queensland with a weight of 11.5 stone and a month later I was 9.5 stone. We worked up to sixteen hours a day seven days a week, I was working in up to 30 feet of water ascending every hour to load the Trocus shell on the boat. I got the bends and two weeks later was placed in a decompression chamber in the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney. On one occasion a tender boat never returned back to the Kennedy and was left in the open sea overnight. I was the only one who wanted to set up a search and rescue and was talked down. The tender returned in the early hours of the morning. Production was placed first over anything else.
When diving in Port Kembla at the multi purpose berth, The air bottle on my back for emergency was empty and I nearly drowned.
The diving industry needs to have a good look at themselves as more deaths will occur. Dive master overseeing the jobs and the attendants need to be trained and on watch at all times a diver is in the water. On large scale operations like what was on four corners tonight should have a attendant for each diver and when the diver reached the surface the boat should have stopped. This not stopping the operation is a criminal act as all the divers would have realized something was wrong when the propeller of the ship stopped. This would have allowed all the divers to become rescue divers with the saving of a life. Drift diving is the boat moving with the current not being pulled at two kilometers an hour or more threw the water. This is not dangerous it is insane.

some time ago
My son being a office worker type had no tools so I gathered up some thinking he will never make any money with them.
As time went buy the tools gathered rust in his car boot, (trunk as you Americans call it).
Then he told me he finally made two dollars with the tools I was shocked and surprised all at once.
I asked him how so did you make two dollars.
Whilst walking down Crown Street in Wollongong in his brand new suit done up to his teeth, he saw a golden 2 dollar on the foot path and went to pick it up? It was stuck there fast glued to the footpath right in front of a barbers shop. He kicked it a number of times and the barber and the patrons had a laugh at his expense. Not to be out done he went back to his car and removed the hammer and chisel from the tool kit and went back to the barbers shop again, He went down to pick it up kicking it and putting on a fair old show for the barber and his patrons this time he smiles and they laughed.
Then to the surprise to the barber and the patrons he pulled out the hammer and chisel and with one swipe of the hammer against the chisel the 2 dollar coin flipped over and he snatched it in mid air with the spontaneous cheers of the patrons and the frown from the barber.
