Drove my kids to school today because of the rain, and on the way back listened to the news on the radio. I burst out laughing half way through when the announcer read out one piece related to the Rudd government’s ‘approval rating’. The gist of the announcement was that the voters were ‘turning their … More Spin Doctors – who wants 'em?
This morning I was bemoaning the fact that I forgot to enter the Powerball Lottery this week when the Jackpot stood at a record AU$40 million. Today I’m pleased because it didn’t go off so I get another chance next Thursday when the Jackpot will stand at $50,000,000 can you *imagine* winning that?!? 😀 Personally … More Powerball jackpot to hit $50 million

Just been listening to some early (very early!) Pink Floyd music from 1967 and it honestly sent shivers down my spine.

I’ll write it out so it’s clearer… CAUTION: CONTAINER BECOMES HOT WHEN HEATED. HANDLE WITH CARE … More Surely it can't just be me?
Some of you may remember that this blog has always been a constant supporter of Schapelle Corby. However Jodie Powers (below right), a ‘friend’ of Schapelle’s sister Mercedes, went on air in a TV program (Today Tonight) run by the Seven Network and said some pretty nasty things about the entire family. Understandably, with her … More Victory!! One in the eye for Jodie Powers!!
Sad news today about the passing of the highly regarded yet still under rated artist Beryl Cook who died qietly last night aged 81. Beryl’s pictures had a quite unmistakeable style featuring ‘fat ladies’ and otherwise ’rounded’ characters which brought to life many a social gathering. She didn’t really do much painting before the age … More Vale Beryl Cook
The old man touched 87 today… lord knows how but he’s there all the same!! 🙂 Still hoping you’ll make it out for Xmas but I appreciate it might be a bit difficult. As I said in the family forum… your cards are sitting next to me as I type. The wife has been nagging … More Happy Birthday Dad!!
On the subject of ‘entertainers’, we’d like to say happy birthday to Australian singer Kylie Minogue (a.k.a. the singing budgie) who has reached the ripe old age of 40. Bearing in mind the scare she had recently with developing breast cancer she will no doubt be relieved that she reached this anniversary without further problems. … More Singing Budgie bans big birthday bash.
