Example One: While washing my face in a pub I was shocked to see a greeny liquid running down from my eye. For a fear filled moment I panicked and thought; "holy crap, my iris is leaking it's colour! My eyes are going grey!"
Just for a moment until I saw the train times I'd written on the back of my hands in green felt tip pen had run from the water.
Example Two: Walking into a bathroom I panicked after opening the door, for all in front of me had gone blurry. Obvious I was suffering from some form of hyper-rapid deterioration of my eyesight....
...or that there was a large semi-translucent glass door right in front of me that opened a second later as a man left the bathroom.
If you are anAustralian resident for tax purposes, you pay tax in Australia on your employment income from foreign service unless it is exempt from Australian tax.
Your foreign employment income is exempt from tax if:
you are a resident of Australia
you are engaged in continuous foreign service as an employee for 91 days or more, and
your foreign earnings are not excluded from exemption by the following non-exemption conditions.
If you are an Australian resident you must pay tax on foreign employment income....but your foreign employment income is exempt from tax you are a resident of Australia.
If you were wandering behind a supermarket called Dia not far from my house, you would see this carefully sprayed on the wall;
What we've got here is basically "if you vote, you legitimise their terrorism of you" or something along those lines.
That's fine, I can see where that one's going; even if you don't like the system, the willing act of participation validades it and therefore the results of it. Read that as "if you don't like pollies, bugger'm" All nice and socio-anarchistic.
What I don't get is this one;
La votacion es un insulto a la libertad.
The vote is an insult to freedom.
Voting is voluntary here, not like in Australia from whence I hail. Is it a penetrating insight saying that the need to vote imposes restrictions on a free citizen? Does it say that participation in a political system, be it voluntary or otherwise, forces people to choose (or tolerate) people who, because of the few choices that (some would say necessarily) exist in an elective system of government and is therefore no true freedom?
Did the person who decided to pain the brown and green thing over the top of it do so because he thought it was a bollocks sentiment or that he didn't give a rat's arse either way?
I'd like to think the bollocks one. Suits my internal narrative.
___________ (noun) A word or phrase said by a person at regular intervals. Apparently, if not repeated to the point of meaninglessness, the person will suddenly expire.
Since Semana Santa has just finished it's time to stick this one up.
A bit tricky to translate because of a lack of tildes, but this is the best I can do;
Will there be a death for the salvation of tourism?
Or something like that.
This year I avoided Semana Santa by getting to Morocco, but even a few days of it after I got back really bugged me.
The price of beer goes up by 30-50%. But it's not simply that, it the cashing in. Not that I'm a fan of the event, I rate it as 'sad' and 'bollocks' but what happens with all this devotion and anticipation? People up their prices to make a quick buck. It's hypocrisy, plain and simple and when you see it, it begs the question; is it maintained party because of the profits it brings?
A Bit Of Spike (Milligan) ---------------------- I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine.

Listen, someone's screaming in agony - fortunately I speak it fluently
Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to wear ear plugs.
I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge.
