I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Got this in the post the other day… and it made me wonder just what sort of idiots these scam artists think we are? Just *who* in their right minds would respond to a letter that ‘out of the blue’ tells you you suddenly own $800,000? Just *who* in their right minds would send off … More Nigerian scam artists.
Yet again the name of that idiot Garry Houghton, owner of the landscaping company with the laughable name of ‘Halcyon Days’, has popped up because of his shoddy slap-dash approach to his responsibilities. Despite the incredible problems we had with him, despite having the local Fair Trading people finding against him in our dispute, despite … More Halcyon Days – again?
With my cold finally in retreat I’ve been feeling a lot better so was intending to nip up to the Guide Hut today to mow the grass and get ready for the District Camp Fire which is on tomorrow evening. Instead I spent a lot of the day finishing off re-reading a series of books … More Too much reading is bad for you!
For any of you out there without a culture bone in their bodies I am *not* sneezing… well ok I *am* sneezing because I have a cold but that’s nothing to do with the subject. Haiku is a traditional Japanes verse form which uses the line syllable format of 5 – 7- 5, i.e. the … More Haiku
You probably are aware that Xmas will be here in just a few short weeks… if not you must be living under a rock! So are we ready? No we are not. As usual all is chaos here. Financially we’re trying to assess the damage the recession is having on our outgoings and come to … More Xmas is coming
The majority of people around the world have probably never heard of David Hicks or if they ever knew the name have all bar forgotten who he was, the troubles he got himself into… and the abandonment of this Australian citizen by the politicians who were sworn to protect his rights. I’m not one to … More David Hicks – the saga continues
A few days ago I posted “They’re Coming” because the local council decided our trees needed pruning to allow better access across what is laughably known as ‘the nature strip’, theoretically our poperty but in fact used to create pedestrian access along the street. So today they came. I could hear the saws as they … More They came – they went.
After vacillating for a while I decided I’d add the photoblog to the site ‘Blogroll’. There are only a dozen photos on there currently and none are particularly spectacular, but I like them. I apologise to some visitors that there are no ‘family oriented’ images in there, they go into the private forum or photo … More Photoblog open.
So there I was on Sunday with a houseful of giggling teenage girls… well there were 5 of them anyway. They’d come to rehearse a play… ‘Frankenstein’ would you believe… with the eldest daughter. The wife decided to take herself and the youngest daughter off to the shops to buy some ‘casual’ gear for an … More Me makey cakey!
We’re a scruffy bunch here sometimes. For example, I like a bit of ‘wildness’ in the garden and so apart from throwing handfuls of slug pellets out now and then I tend not to do much in the way of pest control. Likewise I do *very* little pruning in some areas. Once such area is … More They're coming!!
