I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Earth Hour had a lot of support this year in Australia.. and it seems around the world! I hope you all sat around in darkness for an hour wondering what to do with yourselves… as we did. 🙂 The youngest had gone for a sleepover at a friends so there were just the three of … More Did *you* support Earth Hour?
Better yet… let someone else do it! We’ve been watching a few ‘old movies’ recently and enjoying them immensely. We watched “Mrs Henderson Presents” with Dame Judi Dench opening the now defunct Windmill Theatre… great stuff if a little sanitised. Also sanitised but still watchable was “To Sir with Love” with a youngish Sidney Poitier … More Let me entertain you.
Hard as it is for me to reconcile the two images below, nonetheless they *are* both the same woman! I’ve never seen Naomie Harris anywhere other than in her role as Tia Dalma in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean” movies so when I came across these pictures I just had to add them to the … More Tia for two?
Went to the gym… got weighed (again)… had my photo taken (again)… listened to the motivational talks (again)… and came home (again), and so here we go on the Hills Biggest Loser Competition (again). 🙂 The wife came along this time to give me a little ‘moral support’ which was really nice… especially as she’s … More And… we're off (again)!
The old man sends me cuttings from the hard copy media about this and that. Mostly they are informational and useful, but occasionally they are also quite amusing. One such arrived a little while ago and I reprint it here… for reasons of which, I’m sure most of you will be aware. I can’t tell … More Oh Crap!
Not the ‘D-Day’ of old… but a more personal one. Tomorrow is 29th March and tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. is the start of the latest ‘Hills Biggest Loser’ Competition, and I’m in it! Don’t expect to win… but I do hope to get most of this weight off. Had I continued the diet and exercise … More Almost 'D-Day'.
We were sitting around discussing the number of legs various animals had, four on mammals, six on insects, eight on spiders etc and the subject of scorpions came up. After checking on Google Images I decided the question was ‘moot’ because although it has eight actual legs, most varieties have two large pincer carrying appendages … More Ads with a sting in the tail.
Surely being awarded $53 million was enough to last most people for life? Not so Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills who has set a team of accountants on the trail of”‘Macca’s missing millions” claiming he was worth double what was entered into court records as his net worth. But why? Invested wisely the money she … More What is it with Heather Mills?
Was reading a story about a father who arrived at the scene of a road crash where two of his young sons, his sister in law and two of her children were being loaded into stretchers. As he was checking on his 9 year old son, he was informed the 6 year old had died … More More preventable death on the roads.
Back again? No not mine… still the wife’s. She seems a *lot* better today. She’s currently sitting at the computer ‘working from home’ albeit sitting in one of our upright solid wooden ‘dining’ chairs. Not sure if she’ll be travelling in to work tomorrow or not, but if this continues she’ll be pretty much back … More Back again!
