I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Schoolies week is on again. For those not in the know, this is an Australian tradition (in the vein of the US Spring Break) which school leavers play the starring role. In theory the time is a combination ‘holiday’ and ‘rite of passage’, supposedly a chance for school leavers to demonstrate their new found maturity … More Schoolies Week
It was ‘confirmed’ today that Kim Beazley will lead the Labor charge to the next federal election. This tells us two things. Firstly… assuming he *does* lead the party into the firing line…it tells us that Labor will lose again… badly. Secondly it tells us that *he* feels he is in dire trouble of losing … More More on Beastley
Our garden isn’t very large… a lot of our space is frontage which we don’t use much. Another large chunk is taken up by the pool, the lawn area which houses the kids trampoline and swings, and the little patio (which itself is almost entirely covered by the table and chairs:)) but we *do* have … More The Retreat
I’ve written about the plight of David Hicks many times but I am still appalled by the shameful way he has been abandoned to the vagaries of a corrupt political system by a government supposedly elected to serve its people. He was been held illegally by the USA in conditions that would be totally illegal … More David Hicks – Australia's shame.
No rumours at all have reached our ears about when the last book will be released. However… some speculation has been noted that it would be entirely apt for it to be released on the 7th July 2007… this being in numbers would see Book 7 available on 07-07-07.. nice it it works out that … More Potter 7 – release date when?
Just found an even better free, online image manipulator! This one also takes in images from other url’s but has a wealth of other tools for improving your piccies. You can find it here.
I love sausages… well made ones anyway. I like the UK varieties… mostly… and would eschew the ‘european’ version for an old fashioned porker anytime. There is something peculiarly ‘British’ about a plate of sausages. mashed potatoes, processed peas… and onion gravy. Can’t seem to find it anywhere else in the world unless the ‘somewhere … More Bangers and Mash
Hands up who is really interested in the nuptuals of Supermouse Tom Cruise and the Pixillated Katie Holmes? What…. nobody??
Well I like my own… sort of… but other people’s tend to drive me crazy… well ok more crazy. I don’t like the feeling of being *obliged* to buy cards and presents instead of *wanting* to to show someone you like them and/or care about them and/or want to please them. It’s even worse when … More I don't like birthdays either!
Yesterday I went off to the Resmed clinic for the second of four appointments designed to check how well the cpap regime is working for me. From yesterdays results I’d say all is as well as it should be… especially since it seems I *don’t* need to spend $1500 on a new machine! The 7 … More Anticipation? Who needs it?
