I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’ve been quietly seething over the armchair critics who are bitching in the media about how *badly* our people are performing at the Olympics because they are *only* coming home with silver or bronze medals instead of gold.What a crock of crap this is!! Just qualifying for the Olympics makes them heroes in my book. … More Who needs the armchair critics?
I had to take my car in for a service today, something I knew from experience was going to take a *long* time. Apart from their speed, the service centre I go to is pretty good with a decent cafe, LCD television, and some comfy chairs, table and lounges. I’d taken my laptop and had … More Australia's Golden Girl's

It is now nearly 20 years since the infamous massacre at Tiananmen Square … More By the way…
Time flies when you’re having fun… and when it drifts past without you noticing it going by! Seems it’s *that* time again… in a few days the Olympic Games will start. This time of course, you’ll know it’s going to be in Beijing… unless you’ve been hiding under a rock of course! For some of … More It's that time already?
Reports claim that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been paid $15,000,000 by Hello magazine to allow them ‘exclusive rights’ to the first pictures of their new babies. Really? I have pictures of my kids here I could sell Hello for a damn sight less than that. Tell yas what… if someone from Hello would … More A world gone mad.
It’s possible some of you might never have heard of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, but I’ll bet there are a lot fewer of you who’ve never heard of his daughter Miley who has been making a name of her own with her alter ego as “Hannah Montana” especially if you have kids around you!

Our best wishes are sent for a speedy recovery to Christina Applegate, recently diagnosed with breast cancer. My memories of her are mostly from her role as the ditzy kid ‘Kelly Bundy’ from Married with Children and this is perhaps her best known role, at least for most males around the globe. Kelly was the … More Go Christina!!
