I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
For the past couple of years the oldies have been coming to stay for Xmas. Because my mother isn’t physically 100% right lately my father has to spend a lot of time with her in their room and being alone can be quite miserable – well I think so anyway. To help out, we thought … More LCD TV's… good value?
In a post mid last year (May 4, 2007) I suggested it was time listeners started to boycott the Vega Sydney 95.3 radio station until they realised what an asset they had in Angela Catterns, the star presenter they poached from ABC radio, but treated abysmally when the ratings weren’t climbing quickly enough for them. … More Where is Angela Catterns?
Had a laugh this morning at an article about a tourist pamphlet issued in the UK which has on the cover a picture of a young girl picking her nose. I suppose it shows the picture was ‘real’ and not posed… though in this case maybe it *should* have been?? 🙂
Not sure where to start with this so thinking it over. Wasn’t even sure there *would* be a wedding in the morning… the groom was a little ‘worse for wear’ for a few hours. Still he recovered and it went ahead. We had a reasonable meal at Centrepoint Tower in Sydney overlooking the city as … More The Wedding
A few minutes ago I was reading The Phantom’s blog where he described his Christmas Board. I wrote a rather long response to his descriptive tale and decided to insert an edited and expanded version here since it raised a few side issues that weren’t related to his post. Nothing unusual there, I’m just back … More The Xmas Retrospective.
Eager readers who wonder if the blog is still running after the jumps and starts over the past month or two might be pleased to learn that all will be well in a few days I’ll be back on the blog and it *will* be back to producing the usual rambling pointless and (occasionally?) amusing … More Only a few days more.
Too busy clearing and cleaning up to write sorry. This looks to continue for a few weeks yet. Still… nice to have family around eh? 🙂 The second set of rellies have bought themselves a small Toyota campervan and are beginning to organise themselves to set off for a year across Australia in search of… … More Still here!
I just read what I sent to Samsung and at first sight it looks as tho I’ve given them nowhere near enough information… for example it appears I didn’t tell them the date of purchase 🙂 However while it *looks* ‘woolly’ in fact that information *has* been sent to them. Having said that I could … More Woolly writing
Last Xmas we bought the eldest daughter a Samsung phone. This Xmas it stopped working – three weeks after the end of the warranty period! I wrote the following to Samsung Australia to see if it would persuade them to do something useful… like repair or replace the unit. I’ll let you know what they … More Samsung SGH-A501
Took the wife off to the train station this morning along with the eldest daughter who is going on to work with her for the day. I came back did my usual round with the hose to keep the plants alive and came in. Despite having been up since 5:30 or so I obviously hadn’t … More This place is a tip!
