Silver in the hair doesn't have to be a drawback. Beards, though..
Well, you know, it's purely hypothetical, in my case. It's a long time since anyone tried picking me up anywhere. I don't know if it's the wedding ring, the clerical collar, or the fact that I'm now 45 and not exactly model material. Maybe I'll salve my ego by telling myself that I obviously give off a don't-mess-with-me energy that puts off some of the bad behaviour one had to deal with when younger.There must be plenty of conversation stoppers in a supermarket when some strange bloke tries to make a meaningful connection when you're picking up what you need for dinner.
"What do you think of PAL dog food as an entree for a party of six? .... Got a church function on Sunday morning, confessions free if you want to cook for a hundred.... If your wife's been talking too much, i can add another 20 minutes with a sermon, or longer if you want...in my job I scare the hell out of people..."
my wife makes a point of letting me know she doesn't want me shave off my beard. It's working for me. Looks like I am stuck with it!
Look, if one likes one's beard, and one's wife likes one's beard, all is well with the world. I have clear opinions on beards, but they only matter in my household!
The irony is that most of the pedophile priests and others whose offences caused this pervasive ID checking would have passed police checks with flying colours, until they got caught.Heck, here they want to see a police check before they let you in the door.
To be honest I haven't given it that much thought.Are you going to tell me I'm wrong, though?
Instead, some Aboriginal workers and their families will end up with payouts as little as $10,000, while the law firm and its financial backers have pocketed tens of millions.
Shine Lawyers will receive more than $41 million in approved costs for its work in both cases, while Litigation Lending Services will take a commission of up to $57 million.
The exact amount that Aboriginal workers will receive is unclear because the final number of eligible recipients is not known.
Based on court documents, Four Corners estimates the workers will get between $10,000 and $14,000. If those workers have died, the amount will be divided among their families.
