Heard about the death of Jo Stafford at age 90 on July 16th while I was ‘off sick’ so wasn’t able to write about her at the time. However last night I was listening to a radio interview she had with an Australian DJ (Bob Rodgers) from 9 years ago or so and thought I’d … More Vale Jo Stafford
The old song by Joe Brown and the Bruvvers from lord knows when came to mind this afternoon when I downloaded and installed a new media player for my laptop.

The miniscule Wildlife Warrior and merchandising machine known as Bindi Irwin will be ten years old in a few days (July 24th).

In fact, her fame has grown to the extent that the ‘Bindi Irwin’ name … More Bendi Bindi Back!
Well yes, I’m ‘sort of’ on the mend. I can’t say I feel as bad as I did, but I’m still ‘out of it. I’ll take a few extra days off and try to make sure I’m back properly. No point trying to force things after all. I’ve done very little posting in the forums. … More On the mend?
Sorry to report that I’m still suffering with the flu I didn’t mention I had. I came down with the Australian version of the lurgy a couple of weeks ago and I’ve gone steadily downhill since.
