Mosgiel Bulletin 17th June 2019 (Jun 10, 2019)

CHANGE OVER NIGHT.

Change Over Function 24th June.

Let's see the old year out and the new year in.

That's on Monday night.

Invite a friend (Wife,Husband,Partner,)and shout them a evening out.

JT's Golf Course (East Taieri.)

6pm for 6.30pm dinner.

If you have extras that are not already on the clip-board list ring John Seddon as usual.

Being a 9 hole golf course it would be appropriate to "Dress to the nines".

"To the nines" is an English idiom meaning "to perfection" or "to the highest degree" " Flamboyantly" or to "dress buoyantly and high class".

It is not a "fancy dress' dinner as such but how you would dress to feel comfortable in distinguished company.

The good news is you will be surrounded by distinguished company.

Entertainment.

We are delighted that we will be entertained by a "Barbershop chorus" called "Highland Harmony"; a group of 15 very special singers, details below.

Keeping with the 9 theme, the cost is $39 per person and will include wine on the tables. Pre-dinner drinks can be purchased at the Bar.

Feature of the evening.

Thanks to Greg Walsh for organising the group's visit.

Highland Harmony based in Dunedin since 1998 are a friendly local group of guys of all ages who meet weekly to share a mutual love of 4 part a cappella singing and to enjoy great fellowship and camaraderie. They welcome new members.

We were privileged to be entertained by such a talented group.

OBITUARY TO COMMON SENSE

An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Brilliant !!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, 'Common Sense,'
who was with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he
was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red
tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable
lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not
children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well- intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old
boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens
suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher
fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his
condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing
the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their
unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but
could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to
have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became
businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their
victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed
to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a
little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust,
by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his
son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;

I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame.
I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If
you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and
do nothing.

Thanks Brian
