lord jim - 02:44 PM
(filed under 'general')
i'm not terribly active politically, & i wasn't even going to read the letter which was put into everyone's letterbox with "a message from the lord mayor" on the front of the envelope, but i'm actually a little bit sad to hear that jim soorley, or as he's better known, lord jim, is leaving public office after twelve years as brisbane's lord mayor.
i don't use australianisms much, but i would definitely describe lord jim as a 'good bloke'. i never met him in person but when seeing him on tv, he always seemed to be very approachable & generally a really nice guy. after twelve years in office, being elected four times, he had to have been doing something right, because he would have been voted out long ago otherwise.
good luck, lord jim, in whatever your future holds for you.

i don't know if he'll actually get it directly, but i just wrote an email to him to the email address given on the letter. i hope he gets it. he really does seem like a nice bloke.
