I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Well… not so much her job, just her first week from *my* perspective… and my opinion is that 5:30 a.m. is not a healthy time for *anyone* to get up. Time was when I used to roll *into* bed at that time. Times change. 🙂 Actually, she’s not done too badly so far. Out of … More The wife's first week.
Nothing pleasurable sadly… it’s almost 6 years since David Hicks was illegally detained by the US forces in Afghanistan. Australia’s shame continues.
One of the chief Australian mufti’s, Sheik Feiz Mohammed, has had children distributing DVD’s in mosque car parks. On the DVD’s he can be heard calling people, especially children, to die for Allah. he can also be heard calling Jews pigs. Charming person eh? For media coverage try here. Maybe it’s me, but it seems … More Peace? Love? Who needs it?
The McNaught comet has been visible in the night sky for the last few days and a damn good view it was too. It looked like a little orange ball in the sky but was enhanced into a slightly *less* little orange ball by using binoculars. We’ll be out looking again tonight… it shows up … More The McNaught Comet.
Spare a thought for Victoria. Already over a million hectares of bush burned out with no sign of rain to douse the flames. The heat is appalling, the damage to property escalating, the wildlife killed and/or maimed is beyond calculation and the efects on the environment catastrophic. To add to the misery, the fires burned … More Victorian bushfires
And off she went! The alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. and up we got. The wife showered, dressed, poofied up her hair, added make up and a twisted pearl necklace, had breakfast… and went off to catch the bus to her new job. The bus stop is the other side of the park that’s … More Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work we go…
Well ok I finally got around to sorting out the Australian Opinion forum. It had crossed my mind to abandon it as a distinct entity and redirect DNS calls here to the blog, but I relented and it’s up and running. It was a pain to do it, and I’m hoping I don’t have to … More Australian Opinion forums rebuilt
Not sure what else you’d call it. Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bander were both hanged in Iraq yesterday in typically gruesome and incompetent fashion. In fact, so badly handled was it that Barzan (Saddam Hussein’s younger half-brother and and former intelligence chief) was decapitated by the force of the drop. I’m not sure … More More revenge hanging in Iraq
So. Time moves fast when you’re having fun… or not. I came out of hospital feeling groggy as you’d expect so that took care of the 11th… and then went off next morning to the dentist for a filling… so more anaesthetics… and the wife insisted we walk over *and* back… which pretty much took … More Where've I been?
My friend the The Phantom Staple Remover has kindly braved the cold wet weather in the UK and forwarded all the posts missing because of the server crash…Â and for that we say a *very* appreciative thank you. 🙂 I’ll have a quick read/edit (where appropriate) and get them uploaded.
