Piers Morgan

Let me first say, I am no supporter of Piers Morgan... but....

Judging by the unbalanced weight of opinion against Piers, I can only assume that the world has gone mad.  With the petition to the US Administration, we can safely assume the gun lobby are out in force, however anybody who bothers to listen to Piers or understand his sentiment on this topic will see that his argument is balanced and sound.  He is not challenging the right to bear arms only the use of modern deadly assault weapons in the name of the second amendment.  I am sure many US citizens are mature enough to recognise the mismatch and the need for a different approach, lets hope there are enough US citizens who don't wait for the NRA to tell them what/how to think.  

If anything I would suggest the NRA are imposing on the first amendment.  The abridging of the right for freedom of speech!

18th January 9am - Brisbane Floods - Swipe Card

Today’s thoughts centre around the beauty of a captive audience, however, I would also like to highlight the stress of thinking up new material!

The stress of a missing swipe card?

Imagine the horror of the moment, arriving at the entrance for work to find I had LOST my swipe card. You cannot imagine the thoughts that flash through your head at such a time! How will I get in? Is there somebody who can let me in? How can I be so irresponsible as to add to the stress people are already under? And OMG! I have to tell HR!!!!!!!

Fortunately an individual (frequently seen in the kitchen was there once again) and was kind enough to open the door after very persistent knocking (and an element of begging) on my part. However, a quiet reminder about security might be in order. He failed to ask me for photo ID and simply opened the door and let me through!

Eventually – the relief of the find!.... A tearful and joyous moment.....
