And Happy New Year to the cheeky little tyke who won so many hearts. Keep digging people, and keep asking questions. At the very least, William's memory deserves answers.

Geez....just thinking about some of those mad afternoon and evening sessions launched with the nectar of the agave. $8,000 a bottle? Ay, Dios Mio!

I have never been on a cruise ship, and never wanted to be anywhere near one. Why, you ask?

Another rapist grub is off to jail in WA. 13 years with parole. It should have been 20. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-17/farzam-mehrabi-jailed-drugging-raping-women/104736008?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Victim identified. Seems like another DV tragedy. So sad. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-14/nsw-police-botany-body-idenitification/104726032?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Have you ever written professionally, Prof? I have listened to, and read widely about many genres of music over a lot of years, but I haven't come across anyone who writes with the authority, enthusiasm and flair that you do. And it's extraordinary that work of this quality can only be found on...

We used to have places for people like this. They were called lunatic asylums.

Further developments. Getting grubbier by the day.

Today, he offered bail of $50 MILLION (US) but was denied for a third time. I'm stocking up on popcorn. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-28/diddy-denied-us-50-million-dollar-bail-bid-/104659360?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

The last few years haven't been much fun for this WA ex-pollie. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-27/barry-urban-fighting-for-life-attack-perth-tyre-business/104652076?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

This one has flown under the radar somewhat. A 19 year-old disappeared from Brunswick late last year, and now her body has been found. Two elderly men have been arrested and charged. Yet another tragedy. Rest in peace dear Isla...

Surprise, surprise.... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-18/alan-jones-arrested-police-over-alleged-indecent-assault/104612940?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Already, this seems like another sloppy or compromised investigation by WA Police. And two prime suspects can't or won't be summonsed to give evidence...

At last. A politician standing up for victims' families. Well done, John Quigley. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-02/serial-killers-mass-murderer-birnie-quigley-maloney-parole-wa/104552914?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Sorry folks, but this circus is off the road for about ten months. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-25/reece-sturgeon-kununurra-army-depot-sentence/104513156?utm_source=abc_news_web&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link

Apparently well-known to local police, the accused had recently been bailed - not for the first time. Confusion and misplaced concern for someone with serious mental health problems has caused another senseless tragedy.

I haven't. And that's why I've been such a grumpy old bugger for the last 20 years.

Three more Blues delisted - perhaps. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1248288/carlton-blues-delist-three-including-jack-carroll-duo-sam-durdin-matt-caroll-offered-train-on-chance

This short episode of 60 Minutes is the most harrowing and heart-breaking I have ever seen, and it should be compulsory viewing for all our law-makers. In principle, I am against the death penalty. But there are exceptions.

I’ve seen that footage of Ricky playing Bill’s mandolin a few times now, and for this old Bluegrass tragic, it still stirs the emotions. So too does this tribute by Lorraine Jordon and Carolina Road, who wrote this song about that historic night.

And now.... Put out your guitars. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/03/garth-brooks-sexual-assault-lawsuit

Jack has played 54 games for Carlton over five seasons. He'll be an absolute bargain if Geelong can get that many out of him (and he lasts that long).

Modern cultural practices.

Damn. I lost another dear friend today. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/30/kris-kristofferson-us-country-singer-and-actor-dies-aged-88?CMP=share_btn_url

Well I reckon Ms. Perry should be congratulated by the AFL for: (1) Saving on the cost of a backing band, and miming. (2) Wearing those funky cowboy chaps with large pockets - so she could supply her own toilet paper. (3) Inviting the local Hare Krishnas up on stage to prance around.

Once again, I am lost for words. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/20/everyone-here-is-disgusted-the-village-at-the-heart-of-the-trial-that-shook-france?CMP=share_btn_url

Good news. We have been waiting too long for answers on this one.
