Brew and Chew

Clearly, we are in the dog-days now, the finals are over and the Cup is a little while off, and Brew and Chew has only a couple of meetings left in this final quarter. But what to talk about.Time passes, faster now, but somehow slower: life becomes more frenetic but yet, still, at least for some of us – have we seen it all before or is time stalled like in an old movie serial, hoping for a happy ending as before, but in dreadful doubt.

As in the days when the UN was conceived to resolve issues as an umpire to ensure fair play. The alignments pertinent in 1945/6 have frozen collective action on any issue where the big powers have an interest and can be seen as the aggressor. It seems the umpire has lost the pea from its whistle, and can’t afford a new one.

So given that local politics are off the table, and a fine box, akin to a swear box, is to be introduced at Brew and Chew in case anyone inadvertently mentions the name of the US President – or any other president for that matter, it seems that AI might be the topic of choice for the next few months. Perhaps we could explore CoPilot’s help in writing these notes, or better still, provide the winner on the first Tuesday!

To pick a winner, join the conversation at Camberwell Library on the fourth Wednesday, 28 October at 10.00am, at least we should know which horse is favourite by then...
