Still here - just resting

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Bloody hell, time can fly past quickly when you’re not looking.
I’m astonished that my last post was in December 2008.  Life has been pretty hectic, and whilst there are many things that I’d like to have said my “two cents worth” about, time has just not allowed me to log on and have my say.
Ahh [...]

Merry Christmas !!

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Another year has almost passed by, a year of considerable change and upheaval in so many ways. Here’s hoping 2009 will see a return to more stability around the world.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
I wish you all a safe holiday season and all the best for 2009.

Welcome back, iServ

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Welcome back to iServ, one of Australia’s pre-eminent web sites on current affairs and political commentary.
iServ has been sorely missed during it’s short absence. Whilst many may not have agreed with the opinions expressed on iServ from time to time (and I am quite ready to acknowledge that I occasionally disagreed with some of [...]

N.S.W. - Getting grimmer by the hour….

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

One has to wonder what ever possessed Nathan Rees to take on the role of Premier of New South Wales.  If there was a job that was going to be a thankless task and a burden to one’s spirits and optimism, then I think being Premier of N.S.W. in 2008 has to rank amongst the top [...]

The lake floods…

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

On 3 February, 2008, Sydney was in the grip of a major low pressure system that saw large quantities of rainfall across the entire Sydney metropolitan area.  There were many areas affected by flooding (thankfully, we were not unduly inconvenienced).  However, the lake across the road from our house rose to levels never before seen.  [...]

Bat’s View undergoes some refurbishing

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I decided “Bat’s View” was looking a bit jaded and old and in need of some work to make a bit more “fresh”, so I’ve been playing around a bit with the style sheet.
What you see at the moment is the initial result of my tinkering.  No doubt there will be some purists that deride [...]

Happy New Year

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year.
May your endeavours bring you growth and prosperity.

Street Racing - so what’s so new about it?

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Over the last week or so the NSW state government, police force and Australian media generally have put under the spotlight the tendency of drivers to “race” their motor vehicles on the streets.  This current focus has been brought on by the recent tragic deaths of an elderly couple quietly returning home after a night out [...]

Merry Christmas to everyone

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Ok, so it’s my first Christmas with a blog.  Please don’t hang me for being so trite and mundane as to do what I expect nearly every other blogger has done/is doing - wishing their readers a Merry Christmas.
To me, the Christmas/New Year season is a time to reflect on the year just past, and [...]

Australian Idol 2006

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

The winner of Australian Idol 2006 is Irish born Damien Leith, who has reportedly applied for Australian citizenship but is not yet an Australian.
Whilst his musical talent is unquestionable, is it really proper that the winner of Australian Idol is not an Australian, either by birth or by application for citizenship?
Personally, I congratulate Damien on [...]
