Heckler on Police

Anti-football rants out of line and date

Heckler dinkus

Heckler OF COURSE I realise Michael Carlton is exaggerating for comic effect in his attempt to bait me and others with his anti-football rant in the paper last Saturday.

Heckler

Hold the phone, I'm practising the piano

Heckler THINKING of ways to fit everything into my busy life, I have come up with a practical way to save time: I practise the piano as I drive to work. That's correct.

Heckler

Neighbour can't cop jolly whistle

Heckler A FRIEND of mine was threatened with an AVO on the weekend. Now, what image has just come into your head? Some violent, uncontrollable loser who lets his fists do the talking? Some drunken yobbo? Try...

Heckler

Copping punches no horse play

Heckler TYPING with one hoof is so slow, it's almost not worth the trouble. But I just cannot let last week's debacle in my workplace go unnoticed.

Heckler

Defence of substance cuts no ice

Heckler CAN we please get rid of the defence of ''I've been on drugs since I was 15 and it's affected my mind''?

Heckler

Boy, let's get rid of drop-off delirium

Heckler RAILWAY stations are getting busier. It seems that as the cost of running a car keeps increasing, more people are using public transport. This can only be a good thing.

Heckler

Mum's night out such an inquisition

Heckler I am having a midweek night out with the girls. We are trying a new cafe in Manly and have finally locked in a Thursday night.

Heckler

Mission to fine smoker is really an indictment

Heckler MR WHITE says he lives with me, although I've never met him. The first I knew about it was when two police officers arrived at my unit and asked to speak to him.

Heckler

Internet scam had silver lining

Heckler Dozens of phone calls from thoughtful friends asking had I really been mugged in Manila? No, I had been hacked.

Heckler

Cairo-style policing in Hyde Park

police

Heckler WHAT did the police think they were doing in Hyde Park on Sunday? There had just been a very well-organised rally of Egyptian Australians supporting the democracy movement in their homeland.

Heckler

Being vague is in vogue

spade

Heckler I'VE had enough of coded language. To put it bluntly, it's time we called a spade a spade.

Heckler

Let's reward responsibility

Heckler RECENTLY I went to the Leonard Cohen concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, a consistently pleasant experience with a couple of highlights. But this is not a review, it's a rave.

Heckler

A long wait for justice to be served

Heckler I had cause, just recently, to be in a criminal court of law for the first time to support a friend.

Heckler

Please don't talk around the subject

Heckler CALL out the word police. Our language is under attack, again. This latest spree of linguistic violence is by the people that want to talk to us ''around'' things.

Heckler

Wake up and sniff the roses fragrance

Heckler IN LIFE there are certain topics that are beyond criticism: your religion, your wife's dress-sense, Mosman and the like. Another is Column 8.

Never saw the gig, got the T-shirt

Heckler SINCE when did the year of one's birth define what music they were capable of appreciating?

We're wary of the hairy

hairy

Heckler What's with Aussie stereotypes of blokes with long hair? Is it a throwback to our convict days? Whatever the reasons, I'm fed up.

Vote 1 for decency

Heckler BRING on an early federal election. We need a Decency Act to regulate good taste and a new party - the Good Taste Party - willing to implement new policies.

Heckler

Many happy returns in SA

Heckler IN SOUTH Australia the 10-cent return on each bottle seems to have perilously changed the economy of littering.

Heckler

HSC is just a prelude to Schoolies

Heckler IT'S HSC exam time, and every frazzled year 12 parent knows what's next: Schoolies. This ''rite of passage'' to celebrate finishing school means, in true Australian tradition, partying big time.
