Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Our unelected spokesperson →. A blemish, indeed, and an error uncorrected. November 4, 2012. We post this with great trepidation: it may be interpreted as an attack on someone who’s become a bit of an icon. It’s not intended as such. It’s intended as a criticism of the culture of the media. That it involves an icon is incidental. As a hack, we all know the golden rule of journalism. Most think it’s: If in doubt, leave it out . More often, ...On Au...

Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Newer posts →. Frank Walker – Another piece of the jigsaw. June 13, 2012. Indeed, you could argue that Walker’s action, late one night at a dinner reception in the Strangers’ Dining Room in Macquarie Street, overlooking The Domain, innocent enough at the time, was responsible for Nile’s election and, indirectly, for everything that Nile’s done in the NSW Parliament since then. In proportional representation, seats go according to quotas. If th...

Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Frank Walker – Another piece of the jigsaw. A blemish, indeed, and an error uncorrected →. August 8, 2012. As a “bouncer” at a series of ZZ Top gigs at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in 1987, I was in a unique position to gain insight into the political thought of the lead singer of the support act, Rose Tattoo. “Angry” Anderson’s warm-up routine to the crowd was to stir them up.

Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Long-serving hack reporter, proudly so, with plenty to say, not all of it right, and hungry for an outlet. We need to talk about Islam. December 11, 2015. Some pithy, entertaining reads in the papers at the moment about our first line of defence against terrorism (Bronwyn Bishop), and the horrors of under-age radicals. All standard stuff for the times, and all expressing the same outrage. And monumentally … Continue reading →. November 11, 2015.
Malcolm and his Lancia | novasloof's blob
https://oceanswims.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/malcolm-and-his-lancia
Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Do jocks really shock? Malcolm and his Lancia. March 20, 2015. So sudden, the announcement of Malcolm Fraser’s death. And so surprising, the wave of sadness that swept through me. More so than when Gough Whitlam died; more than when Tom Uren died shortly after. Why? Certainly not like Howard. Or Abbott. His differences particularly were with governments and politicians on his own side. Much has been noted today about his differences of opinion...

oceanswims: Pool management gone mad?
http://oceanswims.blogspot.com/2015/01/pool-management-gone-mad.html
A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Pool management gone mad? On one of his few trips to the local pool, our Uncle Mick was struck by all the rules - "No running, No jumping, No bombing, No spitting", etc. "Goodness me," said Uncle Mick. "Are you allowed to swim? You were, and you are, but we've noticed a marked tightening in the rules in recent years, and much tighter restrictions placed on punters as they attempt to schlepp their laps. What other r...
oceanswims: Talking under wet shower
http://oceanswims.blogspot.com/2014/11/missing-booee-furore.html
A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Talking under wet shower. What is it that brings me back to loving oceanswimming every season? Something different can happen at any swim and usually does. Today was the first ocean swim of the season for me, and as every season starts it is great to see all those old familiar faces and catch up with everyone’s stories of holidays, future plans and training, or lack thereof, over the cooler months. It didn’t e...

A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Friday, February 6, 2015. Cole Classic - They could do it better. Herald photographers took some stunning images of the Cole Classic last Sundee. That's the advantage of having a whole stable of phots on staff. This one was tweeted by Dallas Kilponen. As entries to last weekend's Cole Classic fell again, for the fourth year running (For an analysis of the stats. Click here. Allow punters to enter at reasonable rates right up to swim day.
oceanswims: The best kind of water
http://oceanswims.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-best-kind-of-water.html
A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Monday, April 21, 2014. The best kind of water. Long road trips can lead to profound revelations. On the way back from Pacific Palms on Easter Sundee, Mrs Sparkle said, suddenly, “You know, I like swimming in the ocean the best. It’s the best kind of water”. Well, yes. That is one of the reasons why we get up to this caper. The point being that Mrs Sparkle, a regular squad swimmer at Crummy Drummy, and a regular with an informal squad of lay...
oceanswims: December 2013
http://oceanswims.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Monday, December 30, 2013. No swim at Bongin. Was that wrong? Dawn at Bongin Bongin Bay. Just after dawn, anyway. Well, quite a way after dawn. The wind is howling. This morning - Sundee morning - we went for a swim. But we didn’t swim. And we’re just trying to work out whether that was wrong. Show me your huddling, seething masses, for they will swim, whatever the conditions. We were amongst the first to the beach. It was truly howling ...

A forum for swapping yarns and boasting amongst ocean swimmers. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. More than a grand again in late April. Bottoms up : L. Azy late starter at Turimetta, en route to Warriewood. We saw water quality graduate from murky and opaque at Warriewood (our eyes), to crystal clear (according to a blobber) at Shark Island. Why the difference? There were c. another 1,200 at Noosa, but that's Queensland. A friend suggested on Sunday, whilst we schlepped over the headland to Turimetta to the star...

Cranky old hack, musings, recollections, spleen-venting…. Malcolm and his Lancia. March 20, 2015. So sudden, the announcement of Malcolm Fraser’s death. And so surprising, the wave of sadness that swept through me. More so than when Gough Whitlam died; more than when Tom Uren died shortly after. Why? But it wasn’t hard, either, given Malcolm’s record on the issues in recent years. And it made us, for one, realise that he never was the evil Tory as we’d all regarded him in the days of the dismissal. His d...

Provehito in Altum
Maybe tonight we can forget about it all? It could be just like heaven. I am a machine, no longer living just a shell of what I dreamed. Do you live, do you die, do you bleed, for the fantasy? Sunday, September 10, 2006. A useless string of words lost under an old oak tree. Thinking back to all the offenses that were spoken. And all the times that I hated to be forced to see. But in the end, it was me, the one who was left broken. Whispered silence that burns the mind. An empty hollow spot resounds within.
