An it has to be cheap but does it need
to be nasty? musing: Hearing that social
housing provider North
Coast Community Housing Co is
laying new and necessarily cheap carpets in some of its rental premises. The
colour schemes are the darkest of grey possible before black intervenes, a dark
brown that cannot possibly go any deeper on the dye spectrum and something that
can only be described as the hue of poo - apparently the company thinks the
poor have no taste and should live with such affronts to the eye and interior
house wall colours.
A Bazza musing: It was hard to cadge a treat from the
two-legs last Wednesday as everyone was talkin' bout that Barry O'Farrell
resigning as NSW Premier. I don't have any questions about that wine bottle -
what I want to know is why in 2011 after years and years in politics the man
didn't own even one square foot of house or land according to his member's
declaration.
A swear box musing: I'm in
trouble. I have to meow a hundred times, "I shall not call Operation
Sovereign Borders Operation Stupid B@stards and then yammer
hysterically". What? Cats can't have a sense of humour?
An SPC Sunday musing: I'm a cat so I
don't eat much fruit, but the Blues
Brothers budgies (who are
into all sorts of fruit 'n' veg) tell me that SPC Sunday is going off with a
bang and lotsa two legs are buying SPC Ardmona products and telling the world
about it today. Over at Twitter on #SPCardmona
they are jumping out of their skins and folks at SPC Sunday on Facebook are happily getting into the mood as
well.
A rumour has it musing: Whispers are
doing the rounds in the first few days of February 2014 that David Bancroft, a
former The Daily Examiner editor and later an editor of the Rural Weekly, is taking a
position as Clarence Valley Council's media/public relations spokesperson.
In-ter-esting....
A fractured history musing: On 1 February
2014 The Northern
Star confirmed what many have suspected. Clarence
Valley Council has been allowing local government paper records to rot in a
paddock for years -When the NSW Land and Environment Court called for the
documents to be made available, the Crown solicitor was told "they must be
with the Clarence Valley Council". He was later referred to the Coffs
Harbour Council but eventually it was discovered that the majority of documents
obtained from the former Ulmarra council were "housed in a shipping
container in a paddock" and the Clarence council believed it "would
be a big job to try and access the shipping container because it is full".
Justice Craig admitted he was left to "guess" what some of the
documents might have contained.
A karma musing: Maclean Court
House, 9.30 am 12 February 2014,NSW Police v Geoffrey William Leviny,
Case Number 201300148044,LC
Sentence.
A spam is getting
sillier by the minute musing: This email
caused a hoot of laughter from the two legs in my house - Happy New Year! 800,000 Pounds
sterling has been awarded to you from my wife & I. Kindly reply with your
Name, Address, Phone Number for details of prize if you are interested. Adrian.
A she saw red musing: If there is
one thing a house going paperless hates it's junk mail so She really was annoyed enough to say a
sweary word when telling me the tale.
What if people
don't want to receive advertising material and have a "no junk mail"
sign on their letterbox? Putting
mail into these people's letterboxes is not against the law but it is against
the distribution industry's Code of Practice. Distributors should respect
people's wishes not to receive this material.
Unfortunately
one new local business is choosing to ignore this advice and when the person
distributing its advertising was challenged by my owner he asserted that the
unwanted advert was not junk mail. Well, in all likelihood he is acting
informally and not covered by any industry code of practice. But I think the
letterbox stuffer was probably the CCW
owner – so he made a bad business
decision that day.
A grinning from
ear-to-ear musing: My
human came home today all cock-a-hoop. A group of young lads from north of the
Rio Tweed (who read this blog) brought the Administrator of North Coast Voices her very first mobile 'phone. I can't
wait to see her learn how to drive the thing. Bet she falls over furniture,
trips over apps and crashes into walls!
