These radical protesters are getting their message across with unlawful disruption to people going about their everyday lives in, I must say, legal and appropriate ways.

If people have a message they think is important to get out to the public, is disruptive, often illegal demonstration going to win support or turn people against them?

If you have a message you think people should hear, surely you've got to think smart and come up with clever ideas.

The 'Extinction Rebellion' method borders on anarchy.

I again quote Peter Taalas saying, "We should stay calm and ponder what is really the solution".

Many protesters were asked, "What are we going to do about climate change?"

The common reply, "I don't know".

Premier Gladys Berejiklian put the situation very well, saying, "My message to protesters is there's a peaceful way of doing things - disrupting the public gets people's backs up. If you feel strongly about a cause there are really positive ways you can get your message across without hurting other people. It's not the masses of public that should be inconvenienced".

One day of protest saw the protesters come dressed as bees and staging a bee-die-in illustrating the plight of falling bee numbers.

Point taken, but I loved one Sydney Bee Extinction protester saying, "Bees are dropping like flies!"

For all who work with rude customers, you'll love this. A Virgin Airlines desk attendant was smart and funny while making her point when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.

A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service.

A single attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers when an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk, slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I have to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS".

The attendant replied, "I'm sorry sir, I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out".

The passenger, unimpressed, asked loudly so that the passengers behind could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: "May I have your attention please," she began, her voice heard clearly throughout he terminal, "We have a passenger here at Desk 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help find his identity, please come to desk 14".

This drew a lot of hysterical laughter from the waiting throng, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "Screw you!"

Without flinching, the attendant smiled and said, (I love this bit) "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too".

It is nice to see people having faith in Boorowa with most of the shops in Marsden Street being occupied, or plans under way to utilise the currently empty spaces.

All the best to Kerrie Dansey who has opened up 'Kerrie's Garden Nikity Naks' in the premises previously occupying the antique and collectable wares. Somewhere for those keen gardeners to visit. The vibe in Boorowa is very encouraging.
