Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
I’ve been quietly seething over the armchair critics who are bitching in the media about how *badly* our people are performing at the Olympics because they are *only* coming home with silver or bronze medals instead of gold.What a crock of crap this is!! Just qualifying for the Olympics makes them heroes in my book. … More Who needs the armchair critics?
I had to take my car in for a service today, something I knew from experience was going to take a *long* time. Apart from their speed, the service centre I go to is pretty good with a decent cafe, LCD television, and some comfy chairs, table and lounges. I’d taken my laptop and had … More Australia's Golden Girl's
It’s been a long couple of days since we disconnected from our old ISP until the reconnection with the new one. Also, having been with the last people for almost 12 years it’s a bit of a break with tradition. Trouble is… back or not… right now I’ve not got much to say. Give me … More Back at last!!

Well ok, I’m currently in the process of changing ISP’s ands whilst the new techs tell me they will try to have the account set up overnight, they admit it could take up to a … More Walking The Dog!
By the way, while we’re celebrating the 2008 Olympics and how well the Chinese have done in producing the spectacle… as praised they will be… let’s not clear entirely from our minds the ‘doings’ of the repressive government that controls the country.

Time flies when you’re having fun… and when it drifts past without you noticing it going by! Seems it’s *that* time again… in a few days the Olympic Games will start. This time of course, you’ll know it’s going to be in Beijing… unless you’ve been hiding under a rock of course! For some of … More It's that time already?
Have you noticed just how few of the major blockbusters we see in the movies these days have a ‘theme song’ associated with them? Some, such as the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series had nice melodies that we could hum or whistle, some like Shrek 1 have soundtracks filled with old songs … More The theme thing.
I was reading a little straw poll on the Wales Online website which asked a question I’d have thought shouldn’t even need to be asked today. The question is “Do you think it’s acceptable for women to breastfeed in public?” The answer was so obviously ‘yes’ that I was amazed that the results of their … More Public Breastfeeding in Wales? Nope.
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. As part of it’s installation routine it went off and rummaged through the hard disk to unearth anything it thought I might like to play. … More Fings ain't wot they used to be!
