If we allowed the population of Sydney to be armed, the murder rate in Sydney would be astronomical; because anger and frustration is at crisis level. Only the criminals in Sydney have illegal guns; and who do they shoot? mostly other criminals. If the population was armed with guns we would have the same murder problems as the USA. There have been 97 murders by guns alone in USA since 1st January 2018.

Josephus,

What are you on about, or should that be, simply, on?

Issy, Jose and I do not often agree, but on this one I can see his point of view, and it is reasonable.

Unlike a certain gun nutter who shall remain nameless. The GN wants to immediately arm all teachers! No time for vetting or training, just hand out the firearms next Monday morning before Assembly.

I can just imagine the Headmaster on the school PA.

Headmaster; "Mr Smithers, please report to my office and pick up your 'Brengun'."

Headmaster; "The person who left the 'Howitzer' in the corridor please remove it, you are blocking access to the home ed room."

Headmaster; "A reminder to teachers taking PE classes, please do not leave you loaded AK47's in the locker room, year 7 children are playing with them."

Headmaster; "Those boys who painted Miss Jones's pair of 'Bazooka's" pink, it was not funny, and you will be put on detention!"

Reminder; Stand to attention! General muster is at 0.900 hours, followed by parade. Artillery practice for year 8's will commence at 10 hundred hours in the quadrangle.

Now that's how a school should be run. Right Issy.

Issy, the time here in NSW is 7.05am Eastern Daylight Saving Time. The time on my post is 6.05am Eastern Standard Time. I know you are having great difficulty working out the difference, considering the only method you have of telling the time is a sundial strapped to your wrist. remember, when the big hand is point straight up to the 12, and the little hand is point to the seven, it is 7 o'clock!

Paul,

That's what OLO tells me was the time of your post above; how do I change it?

Well I'd say the problem is one of two things, Is Mise.

1) The little man that lives inside your computer and winds its clock has fallen asleep, and needs waking up. Quite a common problem, and easily fixed. I recommend walking in a circle around your computer, bashing saucepan lids together and shouting 'wake up, little man inside my computer'. If your computer-dwelling little man is a particularly heavy sleeper, it may be advantageous to attempt to wake him in a heavily frequented public place where you can ask helpful passers-by to assist you in your hullabaloo.

If that doesn't work then unfortunately you've probably got the second problem.

2) The clock's mechanism as gone awry, and the little man can't fix it. This one is a bit trickier, but the generally recommended repair method in these situations is percussive appliance repair, performed with a 20lb sledgehammer. The advantage of this method is that even if it doesn't work, I can guarantee that you'll no longer be concerned about the clock being wrong.
