She was set up in direct opposition to that other witch ‘Samantha’ of Bewitched, but whilst Sam played the ideal almost obedient housewife, to a totally inadequate male, there was something special about Jeannie – and I don’t mean that idiot Larry Hagman who played her ‘master’. Maybe it was … More Vale Sydney Sheldon

After torturing David Hicks for 5 years the USA finally says it is almost ready to lay fresh charges against him. Hicks, who was callously abandoned to his fate by the Australian government after all other US allies in the misguided war against Iraq had *their* captured citizens returned, has been ‘interrogated’ by methods the … More Hicks charges due 'next week'.

A ‘friend’ sent me a link to Gridlock. It’s a simple little game based on ‘Rush Hour’ where you move blocks about until you ‘release’ a trapped one… and then move up a level.

He has already been named as being the ’cause’ of his death, but rather than live a lifetime under a cloud he is to have his day in court in order to prove his innocence. At the same time the … More Hurley gets his day in court

Yet another tragedy involving kids, cars and heat. Two small boys aged four and five died yesterday after spending several hours locked in the boot of a car in temperatures that reached 34 degrees.

Daily Telegraph printed a report today letting long term users of cell-phones know they are more than 40% more likely than non-users of cell-phones to develop tumours in a specific part of the brain. I’m cutting down on mine… not that I use it overmuch for talking any more… but I have to wonder what … More Want a tumour? Use a cell-phone.

Two and a half billion dollars to help the Federal government take over and control water resources in all states. Much as I support ‘state rights’, centralisation in this case seems essential.
