Going to church tomorrow

So I did go to church today.

The good reverend did not disappoint. He's quite a good speaker. He gave a well crafted sermon liberally peppered with both humor and jabs at corporate malfeasance. I'm glad I went. And I'm happy to report that no one was struck by lightning.

I'm glad to hear that you seemed to enjoy it. 🙂

They're still occupying Brisbane here. The protestor types are small in number here, but very devoted and resolute to their cause. (You've always had to be more "hardcore" in Brisbane than in Sydney or Melbourne if you were considered part of anything "alternative" or involved in just about any protest movements. This is partly because they're in a smal ...[text shortened]... arresting the others, and the police just got really annoyed by those loud bagpipes 🙂 )

If you are from Australia, I just wanted to let you know of the Distant Shore book I keep on the history of Australia, next to my bed.

It was on sale at a book store and looked interesting. I read a few pages sometimes before I get sleepy.

It seems to be dedicated to the early prison settlements from England and aborigine encounters of the nation.

I keep it with no particular axe to grind. It just looked like interesting history of a vast land I know little of, and it was a thick book on sale.

There were people sent from Scotland, Ireland and Wales also, just saying. England is
a single province within the United Kingdom, it is not nor ever has been applied to the
rest of the United Kingdom.

You are correct, of course, but I'm afraid that's distinction that most people outside of the UK care little about.

its equivalent to terming Canada as America, when in fact, its an entirely different
country, culturally and historically.

what a pure slaphead you are, as soon as we get independence well be the sixth
richest nation on the planet, suck that up you ignoramus, in fact, if like Norway we had
our natural wealth from the beginning, we would be in a fine position, but no, we have
subsidised the UK economy for decades, but i guess they never taught you that when
you went to school, if in fact i wonder if they taught you anything. Fact of the matter is,
we'd be much better off independent from you bloodsuckers south of Gretna.

Lol, they couldn't handle our butt nakedness! them on their side of the wall prancing
about in their boxer shorts, us taunting them on the other side in the pure bud.

Actually in my little insignificant town there are extensive Roman remains, even to this
very day one can easily traverse the Antoine wall.

Nothing like a good bit of sheep's head soup, get it doon ya man!

Oh well then you prolly know more than 50% percent of aussies do 😀

It is true that thet aboriginies were treated very badly up until quite recently.
True christianity/spiritulaity or just common sense? Either way I'm glad that they weren't completely wiped out, they are linked to some very ancient people with some excellent mythologies.
