I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’ve now given the Australian Opinion forum a *real* workover! 🙂 Apart from reducing the number of boards, which I did a few days ago, I’ve now added a new series of mods which are providing (amongst other things), new user selectable themes and extra functionality!! It’s looking and feeling special again. All we need … More More on Australian Opinion
First thing this morning I was online to the iMax in Darling harbour ordering tickets to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. We’ll be there on July 11th, 6:45 p.m. waiting in line ready to rush through to the ‘good seats’ 🙂 With a massive sound system, a huge screen and the … More Going Potty!
I was sitting quietly in the car waiting to pick the kids up from school, and thought I’d do some ‘surfing’ while I could. Oddly though, I found I’d run out of places I really *wanted * to visit! Something must be wrong 🙂
Ah the joys of summer in the UK… those traditional activities like bailing out the house, building sandbag walls to keep out the floods… such fun. Still at least it’s warm… 15ºC currently… sad I call it. Still, let’s hope nobody suffers too much in the gales etc. 😦
So I’ve been getting odd messages on my PDA telling me my home phone account is suspended because our account is overdue. Oops you might say… except the account *wasn’t* suspended…!! Eventually (i.e. today) I thought I ought to ring and find out what was up, not having been there for some time but when … More Oh we love chaos.
I’ve been wondering how long free-to-air TV can persist in the face of the Internet and the increasing availability of other forms of media. We have 4 large TVs here each with surround sound and most with digital pictures either native or thru set top boxes. We also have for computers with tv access… two … More Buh-bye free-to-air?
Not a major change this time to the Australian Opinion forum… just a cosmetic one. A friend has been busy merging forums and similar to try to streamline it… it seems to have been a bit top heavy lately and this is intended to make it easier to navigate. A lot of the old boards … More Australian Opinion – another revamp.
Anyone wondering what happened yesterday… basically nothing much. I just forgot to post 😦 One little thing… the eldest took her ‘plates’ out when we stopped for lunch and left them behind when we finished – probably because we were all reading (again) the Harry Potter series getting ready for the next film and then … More Not a lot going on.
Yes… I’ve been sucked back into the magical world of Harry Potter… if it hasn’t become obvious. I’ve been re-reading the books, watching the movies (as bad as most of them have been) and chatting away on the alt.fan.harry-potter newsgroup. I really don’t have enough time to be doing this, but maybe it’s just some … More Sucked in again – newsgroups rule..
Rumor, or Rumour depending on where you live, abound about the final book in the Harry Potter series, i.e. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. I started compiling a list of the most prevalent ones I’ve seen or heard so far and written a ‘page’ listing them. The page is accessed at top right so … More Harry Potter Rumours
