Shut up President Wilson…

Evan — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:10:49 +0000

It was 1918 and the Allies had won the Great War. As one of the main contributing victors, the newly established country of Australia had a place on the world stage and was in a position to influence the coming peace treaty and as Australian Prime Minister, Billy Hughes was the man to do so.

President Wilson from the USA questioned Hughes’s authority to intervene in world affairs because he was ‘speaking for only five million people’. Hughes replied: ‘I speak for sixty thousand dead. For how many do you speak?’

The week ahead, and some rugby

It’s the Tuesday after a long weekend and I’m sat in the Roebuck pub near work having just eaten a Cajun chicken baguette. Tastey it was too. I have my book, 1918, but I’ve been more tempted by my new poker app that I downloaded over the weekend. I managed to get tickets today thanks to O2 Priority for the Australia v England at Twickenham in November. Some more freelance work is lined up for this afternoon.

But in the meantime, I’m just sitting back enjoying this relaxing moment in the day before heading back into the business end of the afternoon for some more web design and related work. A busy week is lined up but will be topped off with a nice dinner this Friday night with my girlfriend and her family where I’ll be meeting her sister for the first time.

and so finally… here we are!

Have a look around and feel free to leave some feedback.
