“WHO, IS THIS BUM”? By Des Kelly The corrected question, whose, is this bum?. If nothing else proves what a crazy World we are living in, at the moment, events of the past week do. With the ” media” having a “ball”in Australia, we “flash” to South Africa, where our cricket team is not only having a ball, they are tampering with it. As I have stated before, in no uncertain terms, “ball-tampering” is perfectly legal, as long as the sport involved is “Pocket Billiards”. Ball-tampering, in cricket,although, not the done thing, has been going on everywhere in the World, since male bowlers have had balls to tamper with & the “women-cricketers”, bless their hearts, have no such problems, they will never disgrace themselves or the Country by tampering with cricket balls, red, white or blue.

It is easy to get lost in the religiosity, the systems, the familiar symbols and it is easy to become an extension of the world and lose ourselves in carnal pursuits. Yet one look at the empty Cross will bring us out of everything, enabling us to focus singularly on the Saviour. ...

“WHAT HAPPENS NOW”? by Des Kelly It is a phrase I hate using, “I told you so”, BUT I did, several times, when I wrote, specifically about the present Australian Cricket team, their “attitude” on the cricket field, where, personalities who would make any Aussie, & of course, any Lankan/Aussie PROUD to even be associated with, great guys & gals, Australians, all, are typically friendly, caring people with families, living Aussie-lives (at home). change dramatically, the moment they “hit the cricket ground”, whenever or wherever. I will concentrate on the “guys” here, because this is the “breaking-news” at the moment, these same guys who would go out of their way to “help” ANYONE who needed help, any day of the week, would be the same guys who would be the most preferred, as co-fighters in a war-trench, would be the best “mates” in any “pub”, undergo a transformation on a ...
