Another Small Tussle…
Neville said:
if this is indeed about a small tussle .. or a tusselet as we call em around here, then I so hope all concerned each submit or surrender and agree to disagree and end up shaking metaphorical hands .. Neville

I needed a good chuckle this morning and this one brought it out. Set in rhyme that made it more powerful. Loved it Dave

A poetic blow? I\'ll stand on the sidelines and watch. Hope it isn\'t pay per view.

Housing Crisis
sorenbarrett said:
There was a time when a baby booming crowd looked back on a limited number or old and poor and felt compassion. Their fewer entitled children look out on a mass of old, jobless, homeless and feel threatened. Liberalism of the past has split to the have and have nots. The haves conservative, capitalistic and seen as greedy by the have nots. It\'s a new world Dave. Great write

A timely write that has caught everyone\'s imagination
I believe a lot of it has to do with mass migration
It ripples through the whole infrastructure
I\'m in the uk and have been trying to get a drs appointment for 5 weeks now
I digress
But do believe it is all connected
Thank you for the food for though

The systems a farce. They need high realestate prices to keep the wealthy spending. Sydney is out of reach for the average punter, locals are selling out and taking their money to the regions, pushing permanent renter up, or out, with air up your b&v, while in the city commercial realestate is empting!
On top of that you we have urban sprawl, congestion, the list goes on......
Government red tape that s l o w s e v e r y t h I n g down, and workers that don\'t want to work.
But don\'t worry, they announced today that yoga teachers will get preference, when applying to immigrate.

After the war, there was a massive building programme in the UK. New towns sprang up and prefabs were available. There was no housing crisis or homeless people on the streets. Today, there is no affordable housing and no social housing has been built. Really sad for young people. They feel they can’t get a foot on the housing ladder. A very topical post Dave.

Your last lines tells the story of worlds problems Kudos Dave, I agree whole heartedly that attitudes have changed, and those who should help have no interested and those who need help are simply lost. First and for most I come from a place that taught me to help myself as it is the only way I could move forward.

I just love this, it\'s definitely the sort of thing that happens to me especially when I have friends over that I haven\'t seen in so long, love the imagery and all the joy I got from just catching up. I have a couple of girl friends coming over separately this summer and this just makes me feel so happy. 🤗

I lived for a while, when young, on top floor - 14th floor - of a block of flats.
I worry if I lived there now - what if there was a fire? Thought there was only once, in a rubbish chute. I would feel claustrophobic living there now. And no Fidos allowed there, aww.

Love the humour here Dave. I experienced living in a block of flats many years ago. Her upstairs always put her washing machine on at 11.00pm. The final spin, an hour later used to do my head in as the ceiling shook. Sounds like you had a good evening.

I once had a patient that said God was talking to her through her TV it came about she had been watching too many TV evangelical shows and one took on the form of God. Although there is humor and sometimes irritation in such people they are people none the less and deserve the same respect. Loved the write.

\"Attempts to define them must surely fail –
Descriptions are futile; let’s have a tale.
I know the love I feel, you know yours too;
Please keep it that way and give life it’s due.\"
Can\'t be expressed better. This poem certainly eased a part of my mind. Thank you so much Doggerel Dave 😊

This marks your and my age in that I remember the ride on steam locomotives when you had to keep the windows closed so as not to dirty your shirt. A fun read and yes poetic license is to be encouraged.
