EG Parent Award #57

Cosplay. I love it. The Spawnlings love it. And I would be lying if I didn’t say I was totally surprised by the enthusiasm of EG Dad when he expressed how much he loves it. Though, in hindsight – I shouldn’t have been surprised. This is the guy who turned […]

One Legal System at a Time

I expect to cop some major abuse on this one. But here me out.  The man previously found guilty of killing Daniel Morcombe (and other atrocities) is currently appealing his case due to evidence issues. Judgement could be handed down today. The Case of Daniel Morcombe is unfortunately now one […]

EG Parent Award #54 – Honourary
