. Incidentally I was reading a story about a group who have only two laws: -- "If it harms none, then do it. ---Protect the weak from the strong." Seems to make more sense than the ten commandments with all their exceptions (like it is OK to kill in self defence.........) I like this. Whe...

God's law? Man's law: put in place to serve individual interest?

If one considers how the CoE came about, it's a wee bit difficult (for me, at least) to take any of their 'rules' as gospel, as it were.

Those of us that attended during the more austere regime, and the present day-ers . Hence my lack of comment before I get accused again of being a 'in-the-good-old-days' moaner, yet again ! Oh JR: you know we all loves you :D Now, while I would never wish the food that we were not only subjected to...

With respect, if you were aware of this when you first responded, why did you not elaborate at that time?

Have a wonderful day.

I guess what upsets me most is that the people making the decisions seem to want the best of both worlds. Luxury accomodation, choice of meals, etc, yet still maintain the right to wear the uniform and all that it stands for. Nothing that anyone can say will justify what is happening to me. It seems...

Oh dear

What a sad, sorry, but not entirely unexpected, state of affairs.

Let's pray that words remain the only things thrown in anger.

We began celebrating today, after the birth of healthy colt foal in the early hours of the morning. I have to say that the splendid local (Adelaide Hills) bubbles from Bird In Hand taste particularly good when swigged from a shared bottle as we stomped (to scare off any snakes) through the paddocks ...

If you do would you please add love and Christmas greetings from Caroline? We did communicate prior to the reunion at Hertford in 2008, but she was unable to attend.

Thanks.

I don't remember being taught english grammer, and became aware of the split infinitive courtesy of Captain Kirk.

I, too, react to qualified absolutes. Interesting that they are becoming common in the UK: I had assumed that it was another Australian quirk.

I am currently working with an indian engineer who regularly corrects my english/strine. Now, his written and spoken english are remarkably good - all of his education was conducted in english - and much better than those of our esteemed (not) previous facility manager, who once confounded me by rep...

Mary is alive and well on Fb.

Don't know why we don't see her here anymore.

I don't believe in Peter Pan,
Frankenstein or Superman.
All I want to do is .......................................

Celibate? No! No! I meant to write celebrate.
