  • The Soldiers’ Press
    Graham Seal

The question of consent is one of the many issues of the Great War that still haunt us today. The soldiers of 1914-1918 created a large body of newspapers and magazines by, for and about themselves.

We hear about phantom hitchhikers and headless bikies on the highways. Drea...

  • DOGS EYE AND DEAD HORSE
    Graham Seal
    It’s much more fun to say ’What’s the John Dory?’ instead of ’What’s the story?’ and ’Give me a Captain Cook’ instead of ’Give me a look’, and wonderfully cheeky to remark ’Who made the apple tart?’ instead of ’Who made a fart?’ But there is also a darker side to rhyming slang - it can be used like a secret code (perhaps that’s why criminals have always been fond of it!).
