Just preempting those who will inevitably yell 'PHOTOSHOP FAKE NEWS PHOTOSHOP'. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck - chances are it's a feckin' duck. #OccamsRazor

“Maa how brave you are” people told me when I resigned my post on the Manoel Theatre Board and publicly voiced my reasons why. “Maa how brave you are” they said again when I ranted on Facebook about the awfulness that is our public transport system. “Maaa how brave you are” they declared once more … Continue reading Brave New World

This is serious, guys. This is a direct affront to our freedom of expression. We will be asked to REGISTER our blogs. With the Government. Or else be fined.
