@RonniSalt The history of modern Greece & Turkey are seriously entwined. Modernity in Greece embraced Turkish culture with a passion. Even tho the govts fought for land, like the Turks kicked the Greeks out of Constantinople & established a vibrant cultural centre in Istanbul & the govts @RonniSalt fought for dominance over Crete, the modern Greek language in Greece, its food, its art, music , its poetry, its world view incorporated what modernity saw as the way forward for a tired Greek language of a ruling class unable to move on. The Greeks kicked out of Istanbul living

.@palaceletters the idea Hurley didn't know the ministries had been kept secret is ridiculous
"The last of these b appointments… made more than a year after the 1st, so clearly by then the GG did know that they weren't being made public bbc.com/news/world-aus… "The Aus public need to know whether #Hurley counselled the #PM against the moves, & why he didn't disclose them himself."
The govt has already announced an inquiry into #Morrison's actions, but Dr Hocking wants it to look at the #GG & his office too.

My best buddy, a lawyer in London, spoke to me today about the debacle. I’m surprised, she said, the Australian government did the right thing in regards to Djokovic. My answer: hey are like Boris; they have no basis upon which they do the right thing; they always act according to political stuntism. Everything they do is for the wrong reasons. They are in there just to rip off the system of democracy for their own benefit.

@vivchook Thanks, Vivienne. I have been waiting for the term furrow, as you can see, to come up since 1983. But it never does, until now, that is. Amazing how we have all accepted these numbers, just because the Mother Country told us to, without asking, Y? a symbol of our learned humility @vivchook even the cricket never chirps, does it?

furrow #artwiculate's 220 yards; the distance you can drive a plough, pulled by an oxen, in a heavy soil, before he needed a rest. Then you turned him round & began another furrow. If you did that all day, the width of the furrows completed was 22 yards. At the end of the day the area of th furrows was 22*220=4840 sq yards, commonly used to #artwiculate an acre. The oxen was tied up at night with a chain. To tie up th oxen at the end of th day, you had to go & get your chain. A chain is therefore 22 yards.the width of the furrows
