I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Not sure when the 12 days of Xmas ended… if they have… but I’m finally getting the last of the outside decorations down and boxed ready to be dragged out again in a few months to be reused… well those that still work then will be used – maybe. Right now of course I’m not … More The 12 days of Xmas
Yesterday a little girl in France watched horrified as a helicopter dropped from the sky and killed her parents as they walked outside a restaurant in the Carmargue. Now that tale in itself is horrible enough to raise the sympathies of anyone who reads it… so *why* did the journalists at news.com decide to go … More Journalism… gawd… words fail me.
Just a reminder that it was around this time in 1991 that the decisions were being made to attack Iraq to force them out of their occupation of Kuwait. I’ve not been to Kuwait and know very little about it, but I wonder if ‘democracy and the rule of law’ was imposed *there* as a … More Desert Storm – Jan 1991
Bearing in mind how brightly coloured and slow moving lots of them are it’s amazing they’ve managed to survive and flourish as species. Ok some may be poisonous… but many aren’t. Besides, surely after all these millions of years something would have developed an immunity to them and wiped them out? I’m glad they haven’t … More Butterflies.
I have learned that I’m too old to drink half pints of Muscat… and then expect to be able to play table-tennis afterwards. I’m not very good to begin with and the effects of the alcohol make it even harder. Actually, in retrospect, I think it was perhaps a little silly to buy a 2 … More I have learned…
The wife’s finally gone back to work this morning. She has to close off things she’s had on the go with Qantas ready for her move at the end of next week and there’s a possibility she’ll have to ‘hand over’ to a new person as well… if they can find anyone of course. It’s … More Back to the grind.
Well for a start all the photos I uploaded about the crushing humiliation of the English cricketing team… I still have those… here’s one… Actually… here’s another… maybe even better? To be fair this was probably the best cricket series I’ve ever seen and after all… this *was* the overall whitewash we’d hoped for, if … More So what did we lose?
Lucky me… the server crashed and when it popped back up… I’d lost a weeks posts… oh joy. I suppose I should be pleased I only lost a week… I suppose it ought to teach me to make a backup of the site after every damn post… but instead I’m just damn annoyed. Thing is … More Server crash
Edit: This was the original article, but as the associated photos are in another post I’ve not added them back in. Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath, Justin Langer and team coach Buchanan all retired today in the most fitting manner for a team of this quality. With a 5 match overwhelming whitewash of the English team … More End of an era.
I get sent some strange links now and then. The oddest one of recent days is of Brazilian model (and ex-girlfriend of Ronaldo the football player) Daniela Cicarelli having sex in the surf with some guy. Not posting the link here tho⦠partly because the couple protested to the government about YouTube which hosted the … More Celebrity is as celebrity does
