HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD NEWS?*

* Sorry Robert - no, Jesus is still late for his second coming and is delayed somewhere.

The good news I heard today is that  the government has opened the doors to new medical workers (doctors, nurses and specialists), teachers and tradespeople from other countries with fast-tracks to residency. This is outstanding news for an under-pressure health system and, for me looking for drain-layers to put in hundreds of metres of water pipes (see Richard's latest post).

Even of greater interest to this little blogging community, particularly for Robert the Cacographic Christian is that the doors are now open to teachers and educationalists from other countries. 


Think about it. No longer will we be subject to pedantic old school teaching grammar bullies who, instead of reading and appropriately responding to blog posts (unfortunately Robert himself is guilty of this), instead criticise any supposed misuse of a question mark, quotation marks or a comma. A bloody comma!

Thanks Jacinda.

Will she also be cutting back on blog posts about drainage?

Well, as drain-layers are among the tradespeople skill set that's been opened up for immigrants the problem will sort itself out and I won't need to post.

What will you do when the comma is deemed irrelevant? Look for one in a wrecker's yard ha ha.*

Well Robert, one out of two isn’t bad.
