It's a hard life fishing

G'day Aussies. Sunrise isn't far away. I packed the ute for an early morning line drop. The curried eggs have been bottled and the coffee's on the boil for the thermos. I like the little chit chats and wanted to check in. Been clicking the past week busy with work and haven't had a lot to say.
Well truthfully that's going the raw prawn. I said I wasn't here for politics but at times it just doesn't feel like that's respected. Not that anyone has done anything wrong but it's like the pollie poo has visited itself upon us with the New Zealand business. I read James Rellori's articles and it takes a top bloke to keep other people in the loop because the politicians tell us squat. Don't get me wrong I kind of like it like that because anytime I see a politician in front of a camera or writing in the newspaper it's bullshit anyway.
I'm going to say some stuff and if it gets off and annoys some that's fair dinkum but James was good enough to ask people how they felt it's just that the survey lacked the right questions in my opinion. Here it goes.
Off the bat do I disapprove of Mickskitz or his government? I don't know the bloke to judge him and I don't want to know him. He's a politician and I pay my own way. As long as he doesn't up my ring why should I care what he does? That's fair isn't it.
A complaint I do have is airing bad blood in the press. Australia is at war with Chile and our bum is blue from the kicking we've been getting. Reading around some other lads and ladies have been feeling the pinch and morale hasn't been this low since the last time we lost the Ashes. I'm still green in the game and I get this happens in waves that go up and down.
Which brings me to whatever is going on with New Zealand. Like I was saying I'm new and my opinion counts for tiddlies but I have a voice and I'm going to use it. There isn't a medal for best diplomat. I didn't see one for best strategist either. Politics might be fun for most but war is the ultimate prize. We mess up that pot it doesn't seem to matter a hell of a lot what else we stick our hands into.
So I have a really simple request that would make me feel a lot better about signing in every day. Politicians do what you got to do and keep it to yourselves. Whoever is in charge of keeping up the wars of Australia's states keep it coming. I fund myself and will keep on fighting. I've picked up 8 battle medals already and built a lot of rockets not to mention the patriot wins. May not make Chile sweat but every time I break the blue bar they have to put more into it so no cheap wins for them.
Other than that g'day to all. A tingle to me pen mate Dr Hugh Jardon been a real help. Shouts to all the regulars I'll have a stubbie for you all back on the wharf tonight. Keep the faith Aussies wipe those tears and give Chile a nice big middle finger.
Be good all

no problems Nathan. you don't have to listen to us pollies anyway if you don't like. But allot of people do like to know what's going in the the government so they know we aren't being dodgy.
Just ignore the political articles etc if that's what you want 🙂
cheers
minister of defence
Cheers lord braddy thanks for taking the criticism in your stride. I like people but can't stand politicians telling others how great or fascinating they are. I work by a simple truth. If players like them they will pick them and if players don't the people in power get the boot and other people have a go. I stick by what I said about New Zealand though mate you pollies need to keep that out of the press. Right or wrong doesn't matter a lot when we have bigger fish to fry. Speaking of which I have a snapper to go on the grill. Be good
I like how this article mentions my name.
I get a kick out of attention.
But on a serious note. This is a great article, Well written. Quality A+ journalism. Plus I didn't want to put a no opinion option on the Mickskitz question of all of them since I think its too easy just to let people say no opinion and not have to think about the question raised.
I can see your point mate and I wasn't trying to be hard. You've put out some top notch pieces and it's been a joy to read. I've over stated my reasons now but that's how it goes sometimes yeah. Be good mate
No such thing as an irrelevant voice. EVER.
Voted, and keep expressing your views, mate.
Thanks Ranger Bob. Part of me expected a blue bum for raising these thoughts but I felt like adding them to the mix. I'm a fighter not a lover on the battle field that is .
A pleasure to read and vote. You are a fantastic addition to the eAussie community mate, and as Ranger Bob said - keep expressing your views because this is your game and your community \o/
Thanks mate now and again my billy will whistle but mostly it's a social call. Had to be up front on this occasion. Be good
Hey Pycelle, I'll do my best not to get in your way. I think you can expect plenty more wars coming your way, and even if we don't win them, we'll bleed the bastards dry! Keep on rockin along mate, I'll keep my politics quiet on your articles 🙂
Good sport. No big shocks on taxes or holding back wars we'll be sweet
I hardly agreed with a single word but it was a laugh and quite well written.
You'll be up to your neck in politics within 2 months.
And Kia ora from eNZ, now go get yourself some real fish😉

Now that's a big fish!
First pic reminded me of that Simpsons episode
"When I said he sleeps with the fishes, I really meant he "sleeps" with the fishes"
A change from sheep I guess : )

Personally I don't entirely agree (politicians are supposedly there to serve the people and I'd like to know what the hell I'm being served every once in a while), but it was fun to read and I can see where your opinion's coming from.
And as an aside, I think your catch-line should be "Pycelle: Master of Prepositions."
I don't agree with you mate, but you have every right to have a say in what you want or don't want to see in the media.
I like to see the Govt earning their keep, and the only way they can do that is to make articles to show what they are up to. I'm happy to read other article types too, and lately we don't have a lot of those so thanks for making one. 🙂
