Our teachers also do not

Our teachers also do not accept Wikipedia as a source. They do, however, allow students to use it find other sources.

I thought the trend with breastfeeding was going back toward doing it, as the health benefits to the baby become clearer and the supposed superiority of formula weakens.

Where you can do it is also something of an issue here. The museum is fairly permissive about it (I've had it happen on the train in front of me a couple of times) but then the ladies are also somewhat modest and discreet about it -- they cover up, not just let the kid slurp out in the open.

Now there's someone who is paying attention ! :-)))

Check out this guy who is to be thrown out of mayoral office for, well, being an offensive jerk. Can you imagine that ? :-))

.... sigh. This is what happens when you let the actual ratepayers/plebians vote in councils ! I think we should let the Queen decide ! At least we would get proper robber barons instead of amateurs .... :-)))

{ Although I do like the hair for some obtuse reason .... }

{ Mind you, Geelong was pretty screwed even before Darryn turned up. Richmond City Council was sacked over 30 years ago because of all the knee-capping that was going on. }

Cheers, Mike.

You should take a leaf out of Terry Pratchett's Discworld where Ankh-Morpork has an official Guild of Thieves. Gosh, we even lent you Mick Jagger to show you how Ned Kelly did it!

In effect she does! The Commonwealth of Australia is a Constitutional Monarchy, and as such HM delegates her powers to her representative the Governor General. He in turn delegates it to the State Governors and State Parliaments who are responsible for local government matters. It is they will appoint a Returning Officer at elections to keep the riff raff out. Letting rate payers vote has always been inadvisable because they seem to think that they ought to have some say in the matter, and get niggled when the other lot win.

As an elderly lady I know says "What's the point of voting, the Government always gets in".

Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
