I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Where’s what? Where’s all my ‘get up and go’ gone? Back twenty years I was full of vim and vitality racing around college doing this that and the other… loads of work, loads of fun. All these years down the track and I’m overweight, depressed, and bored rigid. What happened? Can’t be too much of … More Where is it?

Does anyone else but me buy the Big Issue?

You can even understand the constant scratching and the smells emanating from various parts of their body… including … More Who'd have dogs?

Yet again the Phantom has appeared from the mists of cyberworld, and rescued our losat posts from vanishing into nothingness.

The Beeb has finally decided Neighbours has priced itself out of their market and is abandoning the bidding war that’s been going on in the UK. What baffles me is why it should be such a big deal to begin with? Why on earth would 5 million people tune in to watch the antics of … More Neighbours moving on…
Was last in the UK 3 years ago for the parents 60th wedding anniversary so natch took the kids. Stayed in London one night and when we woke next day the youngest was covered in lumps.
