Pride Cup, Dusty, Tristan, Titanic, The Endeavour, Plebiscite

We reflect upon the forthcoming Pride Cup AFL Football match 16 April 2016 and the great messages this event makes for youth as they reconcile themselves with their sexuality.

We remember the birthdays at this time of singers Dusty Springfield with her pitch perfect ability and fabulous voice, and of Samantha Fox, pin-up girl songstress and actress.

Tristan tells us about his recent cruise to New Zealand on a large cruise ship with 2,600 other passengers. We remember that it was about this time in 1912 that the Titanic set sail and then sunk after hitting an ice-berg. We compare these with the life about the barque–The Endeavour – the vessel Captain James Cook sailed in on his voyages of discovery.

We consider the forthcoming expensive plebiscite and the disruptive attitudes of a vocal minority in the Federal Government and the harm which would come to vulnerable youth. We note the stupidity currently happening in the US with state laws which trample on basic human dignity and human rights.

Plus some Simpson’s references and other trivia and mirth ….
