Beginning to wonder if Bindi Irwin is being given too much expoisure by her family. Yesterday she went to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2006 to present the top award. The gig was planned by her father as a treat for her to “meet the stars” and the family decided she should go despite Steve’s … More Handi, Bindi… tacky?

It doesn’t pay to be a homeless man in Brisbane… nor does it pay to to defend yourself when six… that’s *six*… policemen hold you down knee and kick you… even if you’re 65!! This is what happened to Bruce Rowe last Sunday at a shopping mall in Brisbane. The police claimed he was treated … More Homeless in Brisbane

Just downloaded and Installed Open Office from http://www.openoffice.org, where else 🙂 Never used it before… well not since it developed into something useful anyway… and so far it’s looking good. It seems to be able to open close and manipulate Microsoft Office 2003 files so it’ll do me for now. One the best things about … More Open Office – nice style

There’s something wrong with advertisers in Oz. The adverts they put out are dire. We have rehashed ads from other countries and nothing to do with Oz at all. The worst I’ve seen lately are for Nutrigrain which has some neanderthal eating cereal like a pig… for Nesquick (I think) that is *so* badly dubbed … More TV Adverts… god they're awful.

The machine I’ve been using lately is my Toshiba Satellite 5200. I’ve had this thing three years now… actually I bought it with the income from the ODPS book… cost an arm and a leg but has given good value all in all. It has a few design flaws… the DVD burner has died three … More Me and my Toshiba

I seem to have missed a day again… lord knows how. Wasn’t as if I was doing much yesterday… just cleaning up. It’s still a mess but at least the floor is clear of dogs hair which is a start. Hailry floor tiles don’t look right somehow. Little ‘un went on a visit with her … More Hello… I missed a day!

Wanna play golf? This thing is big enough to belt around the course nicely and I bet you’d not lose it… even in the dark the sparkle would be enough to blind you. And imagine wearing it as a ring?? You’d sure stand out a bit 😀 It’s called ‘The Lesotho Promise’ and was sold … More Bling, ring, ding-a-ling.

So the kids went off to their lessons… looking good. They skated round… and round… and round… and round. The teacher put them through their paces and after time as up came over and said… “Well they are both interested and enthusiastic. The little one is a bit speedy… the older one is a bit … More Ahhh… the joys of the cold and slippery.

Out somewhere in an Indonesian jail, convicted Australian drug smuggler 20 year old Scott Rush is waiting to see if John Howard will even try to persuade his Indonesian counterpart (President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) to commute his death sentence and save his life. I wonder if it ever crosses his mind that he might have … More Scott's in no rush to go.

Al Qaeda was planning to wipe out the entire 2005 Ashes team in the UK with Saron gas… or so we’re told. I’ve heard some bizarre tales of potential terrorist threats but this is one of the strangest. What’s more the attack was apparantly foiled by a cricket loving terrorist who persuaded the others to … More Hardly cricket guys!!
