Yes, I am and heard of you for the first time last night when I watched Pat’s video interviewing Candidates for the Election, and am so glad I did : ) There are some questions that I would really appreciate some feedback on from someone who is not a candidate. Not sure whether you can advise? In a nutshell I want to know why some Parties are even thinking of playing politics games by “recommending on their how to vote cards” the libs, Nats or lab? I feel that perhaps I do not quite understand the “game” and yet like what Topher Fields recommends “vote the 4 majors last, then the independents”. To me ON and UAP are significant because they can afford to advertise, however, I am not sure I trust them because of the “how to vote card recommendations”?
I think the simplest way to vote is to mark "1" the party you hope gets in. Then mark "2" the party you hope gets in if the first one doest. Then mark "3" the party you hope gets in if the first two don't. And so on.
Quite a good list, I hope this has been forwarded to Saint Greta! Could add: Learn about history, and more than just the last 5 years. Learn how to interpret proper data like long standing temperature charts and reports about droughts and floods over a few centuries. Visit old people in nursing homes and let them tell you a few stories about droughts and floods when they were young and how they managed to survive those.
I like your suggestions. Especially the visit old people in nursing homes and let them tell you a few stories. Dorothea McKeller might have something to say to them!
Go sailing is my tip!!! It will flush out any anxiety about what ever you're anxious about!!! As for the other tips: I'm guilty for making a comment on my phone!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Back in 1975 I remember how newspaper stories were often warning of an approaching new ice age. The professional alarmists then did a 180 degree turn and shifted to warnings of "Global Warming" which was going to create some sort of a hot house effect. In order to be more inclusive, concern expanded to include any catastrophes that may be linked however tenuously to "climate change" - which became the all inclusive new buzz word. Now new employment vocations are arising to wipe the noses of people who can't seem to think outside of the box created by the "experts."
For worried students or potential bed wetting adults: Go for a walk in the mountains, donate your old clothes, volunteer in a community food pantry, shake hands with a farmer - and if you’re still worried, do some long term research on climate and see that the world experiences cycles.
For James regarding point 4: women are also reading your articles (many more from my constant sharing) just a little tip to remember to use examples that include us all - there’s also neurotic men who add to our woes!)
Neurotic men? What are you suggesting? Why would you say that of me. Are you watching me? Is that you outside my window? How do you know where I am? Arrgghhh
An appropriate and almost exhaustive list James. However I would preface paragraph 4 with a tip that they should train for and play footie or netball depending on their ability and then they would be too knackered to worry about anything except hamstrings, knees, backs, shoulders and getting to the bar in time.
Loved this and love your sense of humour : )
Glad you enjoyed it. Are you a new subscriber? If so ... welcome!

Thanks for keeping us amused, James!

If you can't afford a boat, you could go driving with one of my 17-year-old sons. That'd do it.
I might take you up on that!!! 🤣🤣😂
Good Stuff James!

I’m too young to remember 1975 😛

Ha! That’ll do it
