I need to rant for just a moment. I’m getting to the end of my life and I’ve worked hard for it. I have made my reputation, the good and the bad, I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I have worked hard to get where I am in life. I have juggled my job, my family, and made many sacrifices up front to secure a life for my family. It wasn’t always easy and still isn’t, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I made mistakes and tried to learn from them. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you.
However, I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. People who have sacrificed nothing and feel entitled to receive everything.
I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it themselves.
I’m really tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which, no one is allowed to debate.
I’m really tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talk like their opinions matter to the common man. I’m tired of any of them even pretending they can relate to the life and bank account that I have.
I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m upset that I’m labeled as a racist because I am proud of my heritage.
I’m tired of the media spending 99.3% of their time, talking about how 99.3% of the people aren’t considering the inclusivity of what equates to only .7% of the population.
I never stole any one’s land.
I’m tired of being told I need to accept the latest fad or politically correct stupidity or befriending a group that’s intent on killing me because I won’t convert to their point of view.
I’m really tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. Especially the ones that want me to fund it. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I’m really tired. But, I’m also glad to be at the end of my life. Because mostly, I’m not going to have to see the retched, depressing world these useless idiots are creating.
And lastly, because even though I shouted from the rooftops, no one listened or seemed to give a damn. You reap what you sow, and so do your children.
No one is entitled to anything. You have a choice to work, a choice to stay off drugs, a choice to make something of yourself. I have nothing to do with your choice. That’s all on you. You are entitled to what you earn.
There is no way these thoughts will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! Surely, the politically correct police censors will try to quiet us.
While I have copied and pasted this, I have amended it to personalise it. Please do the same.
Scott · I can’t believe it was 21 years ago today that I first held you in my arms. I have loved you every day ever since. Happy 21st Birthday Samantha Molloy, I am so very proud of the beautiful young lady you have become.
Scott · Happy 19th Birthday to my youngest, Nicholas. I am so proud of the young man you have become. I love you so much son, now and always.
Scott · 15 December 2022. Four months ago I had a tracheostomy. The worst part of which was that my little mate, was so scared of it, that he hasn’t given Pa a cuddle since. Today all that changed and to say that I am over joyed is the worlds greatest understatement. Pa loves you with all his heart Vincenzo Giuseppe Villella ❤️❤️❤️
Scott 11 December 2022 · 23 years ago, this beautiful lady said “I do”. Since then she has been with me through me through thick and thin. She has raised our 3 beautiful children and been the glue that has held our family together. You are my love and my life. I will be with you always ❤️
Former work and Class mates visit Scott.

Sadly, on Friday the 1st of December North Bondi SLSC lost one of it’s greats in Craig “Cungy” Cunningham.
The Cunningham’s are a four generation North Bondi SLSC family, the type that make up the fabric of our great club. Craig was a 60 year member and an Australian Champion, winning the senior Surf Boat Championship in 1959. He was a fierce competitor that coached and mentored many athletes in the art of Surf Boat rowing and sweeping. He was a tough but fair man, very well respected in the surf boat community and will be sadly missed.

Rusty nail isn’t kosher
A SIX-year-old boy bit into a kosher sausage recently, only to find a rusty needle in it.
The 3.5cm needle was discovered after the child complained that something had lodged in his mouth.
The boy’s mother, who purchased the packet of sausages from Coles Supermarket at Bondi Junction, told the Australian Jewish News that she “freaked out; my son could have died if he had swallowed the needle”.
Coles media relations manager Lisa Amor confirmed that a “contamination has been reported. We believe it was introduced at store level. We’re making inquiries with our supplier, but we’ve handed the matter to the police, who will be conducting the investigation.”
Waverley Police Detective-Sergeant Paul Vallis said “both Waverley Police and the NSW Department of Public Health have taken a report of the incident and we’re monitoring the situation”.
Stephen Lewis, general manager of Melbourne’s Continental Kosher Butchers — the supplier of the sausages — said he “was loathe to make any formal statement … given the police involvement”. Nevertheless, he stressed that “the processing procedures, coupled with regular external audit inspections of the processing premises, were such that the inclusion of any foreign matter such as described simply could not have been effected in production”.
Mr Lewis said “as an official supplier to Coles Supermarkets Australia for some years, I’m confident that the company will properly investigate all matters associated with the claims, which will no doubt result in no blame being laid on Continental Kosher Butchers’ procedures”. He urged customers to “check that products are sealed when purchasing. If a consumer notices any breakage to a package, it should be handed to a Coles employee” to ensure that it is not sold.
SYDNEY: After considering its verdict for three hours, a Sydney District Court jury found two men guilty yesterday of the savage bashing of teenage fine defaulter Jamie Partlic in Long Bay jail in November 1987.
The jury found Gary Donald Stokes, 33, of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
He faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
His co-accused, Darren Bruce Difford, 22, was found guilty of the lesser charge of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm. He faces a maximum of seven years’ jail.
After the verdicts, Detective-Sergeant Paul Vallis told the court that Stokes was currently serving a sentence of 18 years, with a 15-year non-parole period, after pleading guilty last month to another charge of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.
Crown Prosecutor Chris Maxwell said that that charge had considerable relevance to the bashing of Mr Partlic. It related to an incident in Newcastle in 1986 in which Stokes bashed another man, Nick Psaltis, and jumped up and down on his head in an argument over drugs.
Stokes’s counsel, Ken Magnus, said he had lodged an appeal against the severity of that sentence.
In a brief outburst from the dock, Stokes said, “He sentenced me to 18 years because he knew about this case. That’s why I got 18 years.”
Sergeant Vallis said Difford was currently serving a sentence for breaking and entering and was due for release in June next year.
Judge Nash remanded both to appear for sentence this morning.
The Jamie Partlic case has had a far-reaching effect on the prison system in NSW, acting as the catalyst for reforms within the jail system and the abolition of jail terms for those who failed to pay fines imposed for minor offences.
Traffic offenders now have their driver’s licence or vehicle registration cancelled until they pay up. Other offenders must perform community service work.
Jamie Partlic, now 20, of Cronulla in Sydney’s south, went to Long Bay Jail on November 7, 1987, to serve four days, for non-payment of traffic fines totalling $1197.
According to witnesses at the trial, Partlic was in the fine defaulters’ yard when he was approached by Difford and Stokes, who had been working out on a punching bag nearby.
There was apparently some conversation.
Witnesses said Mr Partlic’s comments were innocuous.
Both Stokes and Difford said Mr Partlic had spat on Stokes and had been behaving like a “smart arse”.
The prosecution alleged that Difford had begun the attack and that Stokes had continued it, punching and kicking Mr Partlic, then stamping on his head as he lay on the ground. Stokes had thrown him head-first into a fire hydrant and then jumped on him again. Finally, Stokes had lifted the then unconscious Mr Partlic and thrown him headlong on to the concrete.
The savage bashing left Mr Partlic comatose for four months with severe brain damage. He is still profoundly disabled, with little prospect of a complete recovery.
Both Stokes and Difford admitted they had been drinking “jail brew” at the time.

Gruesome find at Mount Pleasant rest stop
Detectives examine a human torso, wrapped in material, beside the Princes Highway about 5km south of Kiama yesterday.
Gangland-style execution suspected
WOLLONGONG: The victim of a gangland-style execution whose torso was found yesterday morning dumped beside a road at Kiama could have been murdered up to four weeks ago.
But an examination by scientific detectives at the site yesterday did not reveal the specific cause of death.
A quarry truck driver found the body wrapped in a piece of material near the Princes Highway at Mount Pleasant Lookout, about 5km south of Kiama, when he pulled over at the rest stop to check his vehicle.
Police quickly cordoned off the area to allow scientific detectives to investigate.
Dozens of photographs were taken and plaster casts made of the area near where the body was found.
A police search yesterday afternoon between the road and the rolling hills down to the sea edge failed to find other parts of the body.
Inspector Dick Brook, of Warilla Police, said it was likely the body had been thrown from a vehicle.
The site is less than 10km from where teenager Kim Barry‘s headless and fingerless body was found in 1982. Graeme Gene Potter, who to this day maintains his innocence, is serving a life sentence for the Barry murder.
Carolyn Orphin, was another 1966 murder victim. A man was arrested by Sydney and Wollongong Police and charged with Carolyn Orphin’s murder. The man was arrested by, Detective Inspector Lendrum, Detective Sergeants Fleming, Paul, Boyd and Arantz, Detective Constables Watkins and Shaw, Detective Sergeant Winter, Constable 1 Class McDonald, Constable Rogerson, Constable 1st Class McCann, Detective Constable Welsh, Constables Hobson and Dryburgh, Detective Sergeant Brown, Detective Constables Bowra and Johnson, Constable Johnston, Detective Constables Parsons, Hadrick and McNally, Constable Dooley, Policewoman Constable 1st
Class Luke, Constable 1 st Class Brook, Detective Sergeant Pickett and Detective Constable Bendt.
The man was found guilty sentenced to life for the murder of Carolyn Orphin.
