Another musical dispatch from the front

Some people are so horribly disfigured by botched plastic surgery they have to wear full- face coverings for the rest of their lives.

Another short one from Frank,

Wearing snappy tailored suits may help your appearance in multi- media presentations.

In this instance Frank regrets not seeking the plastic surgeons craft. Clearly he understands that in media, the first principle is looking good. And if youth is something of a memory, plastic surgeons can perform wonders. Recently there’s been some poor press relating to their craft, but it’s all misunderstanding. Some people just don’t appreciate how changing their face, body or organ transplants can pose some risk, and besides, beauty is a very personal thing.  It can be entirely subjective, and though the surgeon may not be qualified to do anything other than repair a broken toe nail, or anything remotely to do with surgery as a profession it doesn’t mean that the industry needs a shakeup or an over-arching authority. That would just create another layer of bureaucracy. And we don’t need that.

 

Just dark glasses and a hat can conceal many unsightly blemishes

It’s like political donations and declaring vested interests. We don’t need an over-arching anti-corruption agency because any oversight is purely coincident. And besides we know, as the PM tells us so, that jobs for the boys and cronyism is just a by-product of good governance. Nothing to see here, move along, and what’s Glasgow about anyway??

 

Often ugliness is usually associated with poverty. More often than not poor people are poor because they’re ugly.

So we’re glad we’ve cleared this issue up and hope that the gas-led recovery really delivers for the most singular issue facing the Australian people. What is that you may ask.? Equity? Transparency? Accountability?  No, something much more important! Value for shareholders and with a bit of luck the majority of shareholders will be super funds. What goes around comes around. But at the end of the day, face or no face you’ve gotta live with it, so get used to it.

Hola amigos y otros,

Some of you have asked if a recording of our zoom talk on 3 November was available on-line. Our friends at Concerned Australians have now posted it on Youtube.

In politics being ugly may not necessarily hold you back.

Older people will be familiar with looking into a mirror and asking themselves “Who is that old bastard?” Similarly hearing yourself talk or watching yourself talk is a cringeworthy experience, especially in a 50 minute long video.

And this from a concert I couldn’t go to because none of my colleagues would swap roster duty with me. (“Watcha wanna see hur four”).
I was peering down a binocular microscope looking at drill chips on Ellef Ringnes Island, while Wendy and the kids were enjoying the concert,
Oh well, c’est la vie.
Hasta luego
Frank
