Oz Police Arrogant to the point of Criminal

Police need a complete overhaul to root out the culture of arrogance and superiority. As an ex-police officer I have witnessed police breaking the law with impunity. I have witnessed corruption, the likes we citizens could never understand. I have witnessed police violence that should have landed particular police in jail had they been ordinary citizens. The police feel they are a law unto themselves. Perhaps this culture prevents police from behaving as they should, rather than as they shouldn't.

Deng and being rich

Hey! You get too rich and all the others want to stick it to you. Mr Deng didn't realise how much a hassle being rich can be, After all, the little bloke who starred as a military planner during the war against the Japanese [1937-45], but he never experienced being rich. If he had, then maybe his exhortation for Chinese to get rich may have been tempered by a warning to beware of others who get jealous.

Dalai Lama or Daily Lama

Gee! I thought the Dalai Lama was Australian. He virtually lives in my homeland ... that's why we call him the Daily Lama because he's in Oz almost every day.

South China Sea or US lake?

South China Sea . Hmmmm. I have been searching these words for some reference to the United States. Hmmmm. Nope! Not there. Only China. What's the US got to do with the South China Sea?

Rugby League Referees ... again!

Bill 'Cement Truck' Harrigan was the most arrogant and controversial of our referees and he now has the temerity to tell us to stop criticising his charges. Mick Stone was the last of the decent referees and he's been gone for more than a decade. That means that for all this time Rugby League has been determined by referees and management who basically are themselves sub-standard

Dinning out? What a vociferous clanger! Favourite is exactly that: favourite. There is only one. When there are more than one, all of whom have equal status, they are favoured and you can say most favoured. But when there is one favourite, it stands alone without the superlative.
