Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
And off she went! The alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. and up we got. The wife showered, dressed, poofied up her hair, added make up and a twisted pearl necklace, had breakfast… and went off to catch the bus to her new job. The bus stop is the other side of the park that’s … More Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work we go…
Well ok I finally got around to sorting out the Australian Opinion forum. It had crossed my mind to abandon it as a distinct entity and redirect DNS calls here to the blog, but I relented and it’s up and running. It was a pain to do it, and I’m hoping I don’t have to … More Australian Opinion forums rebuilt
Not sure what else you’d call it. Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bander were both hanged in Iraq yesterday in typically gruesome and incompetent fashion. In fact, so badly handled was it that Barzan (Saddam Hussein’s younger half-brother and and former intelligence chief) was decapitated by the force of the drop. I’m not sure … More More revenge hanging in Iraq
So. Time moves fast when you’re having fun… or not. I came out of hospital feeling groggy as you’d expect so that took care of the 11th… and then went off next morning to the dentist for a filling… so more anaesthetics… and the wife insisted we walk over *and* back… which pretty much took … More Where've I been?
Bought a TomTom GO500 a year ago and along with almost everything else electrical in the house, it ‘died’ a few weeks ago. As it’s still under warranty we took it back to be fixed. Got a call yesterday to say it was ready but when we went to get it they’d actually replaced it … More TomTom GPS navigation.
Just a reminder that it was around this time in 1991 that the decisions were being made to attack Iraq to force them out of their occupation of Kuwait. I’ve not been to Kuwait and know very little about it, but I wonder if ‘democracy and the rule of law’ was imposed *there* as a … More Desert Storm – Jan 1991
Bearing in mind how brightly coloured and slow moving lots of them are it’s amazing they’ve managed to survive and flourish as species. Ok some may be poisonous… but many aren’t. Besides, surely after all these millions of years something would have developed an immunity to them and wiped them out? I’m glad they haven’t … More Butterflies.
Well for a start all the photos I uploaded about the crushing humiliation of the English cricketing team… I still have those… here’s one… Actually… here’s another… maybe even better? To be fair this was probably the best cricket series I’ve ever seen and after all… this *was* the overall whitewash we’d hoped for, if … More So what did we lose?
Lucky me… the server crashed and when it popped back up… I’d lost a weeks posts… oh joy. I suppose I should be pleased I only lost a week… I suppose it ought to teach me to make a backup of the site after every damn post… but instead I’m just damn annoyed. Thing is … More Server crash
Edit: This was the original article, but as the associated photos are in another post I’ve not added them back in. Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath, Justin Langer and team coach Buchanan all retired today in the most fitting manner for a team of this quality. With a 5 match overwhelming whitewash of the English team … More End of an era.
