Living next door 2 malice..

Well, across from the cops (which T9 [predictive texting on my mob. as i send this stuff to the host computer] interprets as boss corp & amps! And if you start 2 write henry it suggests george. etc.) But enough gay banter. N'cle police, like cops in NSW generally did have a v bad rep not so long ago. N'cle got some of the more recalcitrant convicts & like port arthur & grafton, has had a history of brutal & arbitrary lax, er, law enforcement, a tradition maintained by roaming bands of young men & occasionally, their female accomplices, many of them, i daresay, the descendants of said convicts & jailers. A sensitive friend who was less than comfortable here in Newie, called it ' The land of the twisted eyebrow'. Not really fair, but God you can have a bad run at times! [Similar experiences at railway square in 'Sinny' were, ironically, major influences in my coming here! ] You get those hot spots. It's not really 2 do with social class either. 1 of the scariest places in sydney is the north shore platform at wynyard station. (A caution 2 those who claim australia is classless: the other side of that platform serves the western suburbs. Stark contrast.)
