I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Woohoo it’s raining again! Well ok this isn’t news. It’s been raining on and off for the past two months… tho it seems more ‘on’ than ‘off’. Can’t complain too much yet. If the dam storage levels were back up at 99% then we might have reason to moan but as it’s still only around … More Sydney rains.
Apart from the fat lady who sits outside the front door and the others of her ilk we have around the garden, we now have one that has made it’s web above the car over the space that will one day become a car port (if we ever manage to keep any money for more … More Photograhing Golden Orb Spiders.
Sad to hear that Jeremy Beadle has died aged just 59. He’d been ill on and off for some time with Leukaemia, and kidney problems etc but finally succumbed to a bout of pneumonia. I can’t say I ever liked his style and I felt more sympathy for those people he ‘pranked’ than I felt … More Vale Jeremy Beadle
Been said before and it’ll be said again. I talk too much. I just looked back at todays offerings and realised I’ve spent far too long typing and too little working. Makes a change tho, I’ve hardly been on here for ages and I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy the odd ramble now and then … More Ooops… I talk too much.
Bands like U2 have been whinging because the poor dears are losing money to those poor sods entirely lacking in musical discernment who download their music… illegally. Admittedly I’ve never bought anything U2 had produced… but then I wouldn’t listen to them either if I had any choice in the matter and wouldn’t download their … More Poor U2 – for a few dollars more?
Outdoor wildlife is a little more diverse than indoor… thankfully. We still get the usual cockroaches, large and small hiding in the leaf litter but as they don’t do anything except annoy (and occasionally try to come indoors) I tend to leave them be. Likewise the flies are pretty much left to their own devices … More Australian Outdoor Wildlife
Life goes on… and as it does, piles of waste and rubbish are generated. As is the way of the world, the local council responded by reducing the size of the waste bin for general rubbish from 240 litres to 140 litres… I assume this was intended to make us all recycle more of our … More Rubbish Collection: Baulkham Hills
In January 9th I wrote to Samsung (via their web site form system) about the SGH-A501 model we’d bought for the eldest daughter two weeks before Xmas 2006 and which failed over Xmas 2007. They responded a few days ago suggesting I ring their technical support for assistance which I did. They politely said hard … More More on the failed Samsung SGH-A501
I was sitting at the train station this morning, as I do every morning what I take the wife to catch her train, watching would-be passengers coming and going. This morning for some reason what struck me was the huge diversity between one human body shape and another. It was just an idle thought really … More Human beings – human doings
If you hear sounds of cheering from the house later this week you’ll know what’s happened… the kids have finally gone back to school! The youngest will be heading back into Year Three of Junior school and is looking forward with some trepidation to the event wondering who her new teacher will be. She’s expressed … More Kids off back to school this week… yaaay!!
