Heckler on Transport
Heckler
Train fix may only work in Wonderland
Heckler RECENTLY, I noticed a positions vacant advertisement, in the Herald, for managers for NSW trains.
Heckler
Youngsters are clueless about life for oldsters
Heckler AT 64 I have read that a group of 40-year-olds working for a think tank recommend raising the knackery level to 70. Oh, the aches and pains now.
Heckler
Sunblock solution to global warming
Heckler WEDNESDAY'S total eclipse of the sun has got me thinking. When the sun is blocked out, the part of the Earth in the moon's shadow cools down. Stands to reason when you think about it.
Heckler
A train of thought: have your ticket ready
Heckler THERE you are, lining up at the turnstiles at the train station, your train is pulling in at the platform, and the slackwit at the head of the queue has just decided to start looking for his ticket.
Heckler
Throw the book at philistine scribblers
Heckler I WAS moved by a recent obituary in the Herald to revisit the works of that brilliant essayist, Gore Vidal, and was delighted to find several collections of his work at my local library.
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
Living in the 70s, a good time's been had
Heckler AT 64, I've read that a group of 40-year-olds working for a think tank recommend raising the knackery level to 70. Oh, the aches and pains now.
Heckler
No decent reason to rail against the machine
Heckler I'M UPSET. No, actually, I'm very angry. How come people who don't live in the area and never use it, can tell me my chosen mode of transport is useless and proceed to take it away from me? Yes, I'm...
Heckler
Going my way, mind if I hop in?
Heckler IN MY 55 years, I have been a hitchhiker for more than 40 of them. Hitchhiking is my choice - a way of life I enjoy with all its ups and downs, its ins and outs.
Heckler
Joys of jam through rose-tinted glasses
Heckler BARRY O'FARRELL, I don't know what you've done in the past week, but I am tired of arriving at work 15 minutes early.
Heckler
Last post for something we rely on
Heckler SO THE powers that be are closing my post office. They can't justify it being there any more and they say it's unprofitable. Well, of course it's bloody unprofitable, it's a post office.
Heckler
It's time to volunteer manners
Heckler A RECENT Heckler writer lamented that medical students are at the bottom of the food chain in hospitals. Wrong.
Heckler
Train snotting
Heckler IT'S that time of year again. Viral hackers are on the loose. No, not cyber thieves prowling through our online personal bank accounts and Facebook pages.
Heckler
It's a disaster, get used to it
Heckler EVERY night, it seems, television news provides us with a new hailstorm, flood, drought or bushfire - another disaster.
Heckler
Don't Gogh: it will drive you insane
Heckler I HAVE always been a firm believer in Jean-Paul Sartre's saying that ''hell is other people'', which is why I don't like going to places where there are lots of people.
Heckler
Would it kill you to look at me?
Heckler Until recently, I was lucky enough to live and work in areas with ample street parking. This allowed my daily commute to be a relaxed drive - if I wasn't running late.
Heckler
One born every minute
Heckler Commonsense is not common. An old saw but, like many, based in truth. Although I am a doctor (declaration of interest), one does not have to be to grasp the failure of commonsense implicit in two...
Heckler
A bridge blanket ban
Heckler NOW, I know we all love the old Coat Hanger, but this mania for holding events on the Harbour Bridge has got to stop.
Heckler
Why not say it as it is?
Heckler Do you ever wonder who's in charge of house style at radio and railway stations?
Heckler
Children are overexposed to hard sell
Heckler THREE cheers to the artist who decided to free his little naked boy sculpture from his swimmers. I am so pleased that he did what he did as I can understand the intention of his artwork.
