Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
Things have been rather quiet around the Dog’s Kennel for the past few days, but not so quiet I’ve been able to write much in the blog. We have done a few odd little domestic chores of course, mowing laws, washing floors etc but pretty much little else. The cold has bounced up and down … More Apologies.
Next week those of us in the Sydney area be able to welcome back Angea Catterns to the airwaves. Since Angela left Vega FM we’ve waited for the return to that intelligent mind and authoritative voice… and now we have it albeit for a short period. Here’s an old picture of Angela from her Triple … More Welcome Back Angela Catterns!!
We’re all aware of just how violent life can be for members of the police force who put their lives on the line every day to protect us ordinary fold from the rough edges of society and those who would disrupt the fragile structure of civilisation. The responsibilities of the job require that they are … More Yobs in Uniform
The strength and courage displayed by Jane and Glenn McGrath in the face of their personal tragedy displays what is best about the human character. In the midst of their own struggle with mortality they found time to support not only each other but many, many others through the McGrath Foundation. The example of Jane’s … More Hell on earth… again.

You might notice he has a few interesting facial features, most notably a severely bruised eye. Seems two days ago little Lucy was toddling around some 50 metres from … More Faces of Australia: Stealing candy from babies
That doyen of the red carpet, Joan Rivers, has put her foot once again in her somewhat oversized (and some might say overused?) mouth when she let fly with some interesting expletives during a live broadcast on UK television. During the Program “Loose Women”, Joan (aged 75) she described Aussie actor Russell Crowe letting fly … More River Deep Mountain high
Despite having lost their defamation case with regards Mercedes Corby and agreeing to a settlement that involved (as usual) a non-disclosure agreement, the host of the offending show Anna Coren seems to have opened a can of worms by discussing the case on Brisbane Radio. I’m no lawyer and didn’t hear the report… but the … More Channel 7 up for contempt?
Want a good read? How about a *great* read?? Well I picked up ‘People of the book’ by Geraldine Brooks expecting to find the literary equivalent of a chick flick as the wife had read it cover to cover in a few days and highly recommended it… not the best of starts I thought. Still, … More People of the Book
I like finding things like this out in the wide world. No idea why I spot them when other people just pass by… or maybe they do see them and choose to ignore it.
