There may be some interest in the fact I have left The Border Watch. This will be my only public statement. When you hold a senior position in an organisation you learn to ride the bumps and take the rough with the smooth. If you’re unhappy in a job you…

I really enjoy the Insanity Streak cartoons by Tony Lopes. Every day he cracks me up with some cutting description of everyday life or a fictional world. The characters change every day, but often feature animals or cave dwellers. Today he portrayed two birds in the “Old Pigeons Home” reminiscing…
