New Government PolicyRiposte Lisa Ashurst Periodically, our Government makes an amendment to an existing law and sometimes introduces a new one and the idea is that these amendments and additions will correct areas where the law has somehow fallen short. In some cases they get it right but in others they overcorrect which only adds to the problem they were trying to fix. Like the new law designed to allow the extramarital partners of cheating marrieds to claim financial compensation when the relationship ends...I think it goes something like this: The third person (Party #3) will now be rewarded for dabbling with someone (Party #2) who wasNew Government Policy

Lisa Ashurst
On such a pleasantly mild evening, it seemed almost sinful to dine indoors. Genevieve lingered before the open window, gazing out at nothing really as she breathed deeply of the floral green fragrance of the early Spring dusk. She sighed inwardly and flinched when the family clatter became too loud, fracturing her reverie and snapping her back into the room.
In the background a small voice whined that it didn't like peas while another griped about having to set the table and Genevieve knew she had step out, if only for a l

Is Creative Spelling for You?
So what's in a name? Well, the spelling for a start these days which leads me to ponder the next question: When did it all become a tad pretentious?
While the English language is peppered with same-sound words that are all spelt differently, christian names, once upon a time, were all spelt the same with the exception of a few like Gene and Jean, Robin and Robyn and Francis and Frances but it was a gender thing rather than any attempt at individuality.
Multiple versions of the same name came into being when someone with an "i" mid name suddenly d

What constitutes a bad day? Well, that's open to conjecture but the bottom line is that you'll know without doubt when you're having one and it will pounce without warning. Dump actually. Bad days tend to dump everything on you from a great height which can never, even vaguely, be perceived as anything but "not good".
You know you're having a bad day, for instance, when the light is just a tad too bright upon waking because you've slept through the alarm. It gets a little worse when you you remember the clothes you need are still out on the line, really starts spiralling when you are confr

This is the first chance I've had to get back on again - I've been doing some content writing for the web for a media company in Sydney and they're sending me stuff weekly now. It's pretty good work if you can get it.
They like my column too which is why they started giving me the work! Thanks for the nice things you say about my writing - it's good to know that people get a laugh out of it.
I recently put some non-humour stuff. I had a go at writing a short story with a twist called The Diner. It takes me a bit longer to write non-funny stuff so it's a good exercise!
See ya...Piper
Just make sure you don't lose your grip on your funny bone, eh?
See ya around mate... Owe
