I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Hi ho, Hi ho, it’s off to Aldi we go… again. I like Aldi. They sell lots of odd stuff you don’t know you need until they advertise it… then I *have* to rush off and get it!! 🙂 Today’s delight is an 8.8 litre electric water urn which was on sale for $39.90. We … More Me go shoppy, shoppy.
The eldest daughter is off to the hospital tomorrow. She needs lots of teeth out. Not because she doesn’t look after them, though she doesn’t, more because of ‘something’ that happened either before she was born, or when she was very young. Apparently at some early age she was affected either by a virus or … More Where's me teeth?
Out in the depths of darkest Hungary, at the bottom of an open cast coal mine, the remains of an ancient forest have been uncovered. How many trees were originally preserved is unknown, but scientists have determined there are 16 specimens left for them to study.

I thought I’d do what lots of people seem to do these days… ‘Google’ my own name, or in this instance my image… and guess what?? Yup – I found a picture of myself stored for posterity.

Our dogs are spoiled. One dog in particular seems to be spoiled more than the other and that’s Stupid, the Labrador. The reason is that he’s such an idiot… and so ‘childish’ in his ways whereas Kit, the 12 yr old Cattle Dog is usually far more ‘ladylike’ in her demeanor… not always but often … More Spoiled dogs

Avast me hearties etc… would you believe that September 19th is ‘Talk Like Pirate Day’?? No, I’ve never heard of it either but it seems to be an annual event… as yearly things tend to be. In fact it’s been going since 1995. Weird eh?? As far as I can work out, it seems to … More And now for something completely different!
The other day I had a ‘renewal notice’ for a domain I own. It came from a company called Nominet UK which suggests I pay them £94 which is around AU$200. Bearing in mind I can get a renewal here for two years for AU$99 I think I might pass on that. In fact I’m … More Play it again Sam!
Literally on a theme, I’ve gone from virtually one extreme to the other in what music I’m listening to. Having recovered from the effects of Elgar’s works I remembered that last week I’d found a site holding MP3’s of all the Beatles’s early LP’s and downloaded the lot. So to cheer myself up I loaded … More On a theme…
