The Link by Warrigal Mirriyuula
Hello to one and all at the Window Dresser’s Arms Pig and Whistle affectionately know as the Pigs Arms.
As in the past most links clips were posted on The Dot, the doyen of all pages, however upload time became an issue. Links may have contributed to this.
The counter this issue The Link is now available for all and sundry to post any spontaneous link.
These links will be archived every three months or so or in other words when I get round to it. I will archive all links in the category “The Other Side of the Carpark”. Don’t ask me why.
I will remove all links from The Dot and will post them over time so they to will reside in the same category as the new links from this page. The links are again a good range from science, news, current events to educational information.
Special thanks to Warrigal Mirriyuula for his brilliant pictures. To me, Warrigal’s pictures are so much part of the story that I couldn’t do without them.
Enjoy

I am new here, but already like this site.
I read about this site in an Australian Seniors magazine. However, the content all seems to be American. Is there any section relevant to Australian, especially political discussion?
I believe you or anyone else is free to start a coversation on anything, Oz politics included.
Hi Julia. Welcome to the Pig’s Arms. It’s an eclectic kind of pub. Take a look at some of the rooms on the right hand side of the screen – especially “Politics in the Pub” – which has 83 pieces – some American, but mostly local. You’ll also find Warrigal and Sandshoe write about Australia and New Zealand. Gerard Oosterman chronicles his experiences as a migrant coming to Australia in the late 1940s – early 1950s. Some of my pieces – under “Emmjay” also reminisce about things I remember from my childhood. Susan Merrell is an expert on PNG and Polynesia. I hope you enjoy your travels here. Regards, Emm.

RIP.
Pity about Sykes, a brilliant man, good to see that you are still in the Land of the Living, VL
Have you been travelling?
Where the hell have you been? I was just about to send out a search party and sniffer dogs.
I fondly remember Eric Sykes. A great comedian and actor.
Worth a read.

I wonder if he’ll countenance a “Ladies Lounge”?
