No Clean Feed - Stop Internet Censorship in Australia

“We sail tonight for Singapore…”

By Legal Eagle

Well, that’s not quite true. The family and I will be flying to Singapore tomorrow for a Conference on the Law of Obligations. I will be taking the laptop, but not sure whether there will be much opportunity for wireless access – if you don’t hear from me for a week, you’ll know why. Wish me luck!

So, in honour of my impending trip, I thought I’d post the Tom Waits song, “Singapore”. For those not familiar with Waits, he has a crazy growl and a tendency towards the surreal.

    I’ll take this as a hint and get posting, then ;)

    Great Tom Waits line I used in relation to politicians:

    “I never told the truth so I can never tell a lie”

    Whistling past the Graveyard.

    This is also great:

    Frank’s Wild Years:

    “He hung his wild years on the nail he drove through his wife’s forehead.”

    My favourite line is:

    Never trust a guy in a blue trenchcoat;
    Never drive a car when you’re dead

    Now that’s good advice. ‘Specially about the guys in the coats.

    This could be interesting (or it could be really bad.)
