  • Just that there is a small period between when the books were published so one might resonate more with people who grew up in the 70s, whereas both might resonate with people who grew up since the mid 80s. Also depends on whether the folks who grew up as kids in the 70s had children of their own or ended up working in some field where they interacted with both books like a school or library.






  • I recently went to a funeral that was contracted to a celebrant. I guess they do all the things religious organisations would normally manage. The Wikipedia page has a bit more info.

    Edit: The funeral was managed by Tender Funerals. These are the services they offer. I’m not sure they consider themselves celebrants or if they have celebrants who work with them. Looks like I may have confused the two.

    Edit 2:

    Tender Funerals can help with the ceremony as little or as much as you require. There is no legal requirement for you to use a celebrant –anyone can take on this role. If you require this sort of assistance, we can help. We suggest you supply your own flowers and encourage you to create whatever you think would be the perfect goodbye for your person.











  • The way back to affordability is 10-20 years of marginal house price growth, to enable housing to come into line with long term trends. Fluctuations that are radical pose radical problems for politics. So they opt for the sustained. This is what I think Australia’s (and others) future housing comes down to the (continued) debasement of currency through broad (stealth) taxation.

    Is this what you support or this you’re description of current policy?

    I suspect voting preferences will swing around the late 30s quite bad :-/

    Pardon?
