  • If you’d like to explore some of the attitudes to war and remembrance, I’d recommend The one day of the year. It’s a play about Anzac Day. And a hell of a lot more…

    Also, nobody worships war. We remember those that gave their lives. A lot of those country towns lost an entire generation going off to fight a war thousands of miles away.

    They shall grow not old,
    as we that are left grow old;
    Age shall not weary them,
    nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun.
    and in the morning.
    We will remember them.











  • I remember seeing something about Mosman council who had a crew that was permanently repaving roads vs other councils that were just constantly patching potholes with contractors.

    Turned out the repaving was better and cheaper.

    Patching potholes always seem to not work wherever I drive. They always return. And using contractors to do it seems idiotic. Why would I ever want to fix a pothole permanently and put myself out of a job?
