I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Most of the media commemorations of the 9/11 attack on New York were written and published yesterday… ours memory is slightly different so waits until today to write. It was seven years ago this morning that I switched on the television. The wife was on a business trip and I never sleep well when she’s … More Life changing experiences
Long ago in a far distant time, in the 1960’s I think, long before Dudley Moore had become Dudley Moore… or died of course… there was the brilliantly dangerous show “Not only but Also” starring Pete and Dud. They’ve little to do with this post other than contributing the subject line and the immortal words … More Now is the time to say goodbye…
A court in New Zealand has reportedly banned any reporting of a case on the internet. I’m not entirely sure why, but I think he wants to stop people being able to research the information before the case comes to trial! What *I’m* wondering is how exactly the court intends enforcing the decision in jurisdictions … More How're you going to enforce that?
Yes, yet another Hallmark Day has come and gone and I’m here to tell the tale! The kids outdid themselves… in some ways. In others, well same old same old. The eldest daughter bought me a clock… much as she did last year! Perhaps she thinks I have some sort of fetish? It’s a nice … More 'Twas Fathers Day yesterday!
It was two years ago that Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) was killed by a sting ray and started the rise to fame of little Bindi. Since then the Irwin family has been in the news here on and off… admittedly more on… with various issues, problems, and triumphs. For months we’ve carried a link … More Two years ago…
Was looking today at the new Chrome Browser by Google and I have to admit to being *really* impressed!! The screen ‘real estate’ is being used to far greater advantage now I’ve lost those controls I only ever used once in a blue moon, and those additional search boxes that cluttered the place. This browser … More Still here… somewhere.
Perhaps not so much “missing in action”, as “missing because of in-action”. What am I talking about? Well I went to my diet specialist to have a chat and see if we can do something about my total inability to control my eating. You might remember I lost 40+ kilos just before Xmas, I did … More Missing in action?
Yet again the topic of breastfeeding appears in the blog. We’ve brought the subject up a few times before and each time it’s been because some bureacratic nitwit has decided it’s wrong… offensive… or liable to scare the horses or something. This time we have a young woman, discreetly expressing milk to feed her young … More Breastfeeding… again.
In many ways the image belows identifies some of what I love about Australia. The picture shows the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, sharing the spotlight with the Leader of The Opposition welcoming home our champions from the Olympic Games. No partisan politics, no trying to score points off each other… just there on our behalf … More The homecoming… !!!
In a few weeks time it’s likely that the Indonesians found guilty of the 2002 bombing at Paddy’s Bar in Kuta, Bali will be executed. The ‘favoured’ method of execution in Indonesia is shooting. The condemned is taken at midnight to a deserted location where he (or she) is tied to a stake and blindfolded. … More One in four.
