THE BULLDOG BREED There were not too many Lankan/Aussies around in Australia in 1954, when the A.F.L. Club “The Bulldogs” won their one and only “Premiership” in Melbourne. Not much can be written as regards that particular “Grand-Final” when the “dogs” fought and won the not too spectacular, but still precious “Cup” from the old “Melbourne”. Club. During those early years the 1954 winners called themselves the “Western Bulldogs”.because they were from the Western Suburb of Fooscray, originally, the Foorscray Football Club. Then, 7 years later, in 1961, I had still not heard about “Aussie-Rules” football simply because I was then getting ready to migrate to Melbourne, but, IN MELBOURNE, the Bulldogs played St.Kilda in the preliminary-final and unfortunately missed out on getting the Premiership cup for that year. Close, but not close enough. I arrived in Melbourne in 1962, but had no time whatsoever to worry about football of any ...

” HAPPY CHRISTMAS “ Christmas comes but once an year And when it comes, it brings good cheer But, not in Australia, it’s dear (and) It’s always Christmas, over here. (anyway) D.K. I have been given to understand that, as far as our major “shopping malls” are concerned, mince pies & Christmas cakes are already available, and it’s only September, for crying out loud!.

I was watching a schools’ Do You Know contest on TV the other day and I was struck by the fact that every time a child got the correct answer the compere said ‘pilituruwa nivaradhi’ (not incorrect). What he should have said was ‘hari’ (correct). Why he did not do so is an example of our national penchant for the polysyllabic. Four syllables are better than two. This is pure boru shoke. ...

Written by Dr harold Gunatillake FRCS, FICS, FIACS, AM (Sing), MBBS (Cey) –Health writer The average life expectancy at birth was 68 years and 6 months for males and 73 years and 6 months for females during 2010 and 2013, figures released by the United Nations World Population Prospects 2012 Revision. Japan leads the figures with both sexes expectancy of 83.7, followed by Singapore, Switzerland and Australia; in that order The lowest expectancies are Angola and Sierra with a life expectancy of 52.4 and 50.1 respectively. In an ideal situation when age turns into ageless, humans will still die prematurely. It is the biological age and expected life span that would be everlasting, but through one’s journey in life could contract debilitating chronic diseases, traumatic experiences, dementia, Alzheimer’s and so on and demise. WE age because our cells age and our telomeres get shorter. ...
