Conquering nearby tribes was not always a means of expansion alone. Sometimes it was necessary to eliminate hostile neighbours. Those boorish savages could be rather nasty sometimes. They might attack any unwary citizen who stumbles into their region, and they would most certainly be stealing shit from the wealthy empire every chance they got. Stealth…

In terms of the way we behave and interact with each other, religion cannot be ruled out. It plays a role in almost everyone’s life whether they consider themselves religious or not. In its simplest form it appears to be a three-way split: Religious, Atheist or agnostic, so I suppose I’ll attempt to break it…

I think it’s time to revisit that paragon of sobriety and workplace safety I survived all those years ago. Not only did I survive, but I learned to drive a forklift in that madhouse! Talk about a trial by fire! It was akin to having an L plate driver on an obstacle course in the…

Let’s talk about generation X and the martial arts. In Australia we were quite cut off from the rest of the world. No internet, no cable TV. The only time we saw anything outside the ordinary was on the news or a TV show like ‘The Wide World of Sports’. Even then we could easily…

I have had a deep-seated contempt for advertising going back a long time and it is only the logistics of compartmentalising and organising my thoughts that have led to this being post #71. I find it irritating and terrifying just how inundated we are with this perpetual persuasion. It is fucking everywhere we turn and…

Growing up in the west certainly has its advantages, but comfort can breed complacency. Going back as far as the end of the Great Depression, in Australia it has not been too hard to earn a living. Maybe not ‘living it up’, but enough to get by on. Jobs (in the cities at least) were…

So, you say there’s nothing to watch. 2026 and you can’t find anything to watch? When I was your age, we had four channels to watch on the television; 5 if you had really good reception. 3 commercial stations: Channels 7, 9 and 10. These were the channels that had the money to pay for…
