Each year the same problem… what the hell to buy people? Our circle has shrunk so much now that apart from the oldies, there are really only kids to buy for… ours and friends. Still I have no idea what anyone wants… or needs… so I tend to go out and take pot luck. Right … More Chrissie Pressies.

It’s amazing people still take an notice of Damir Dokic. He wrecked the career of his tennis playing daughter Jelena, was banned from virtually every tennis court on 5 continents because of his behaviour, moved the family out of Australia (his adopted land) to Croatia, drove Jelena to distraction on so many occasions she now … More Damir Dokic… professional loon?

Many places in the bush depend entirely on rainwater capturing it on roofs and storing it in tanks, or collecting it in dams to use for stock etc. With so little rainfall in recent months… years even… dams … More Water theft on the increase

I’m waiting for Dire Straits to bring out a new version of “Money For Nothing” and maybe Sting will sing this new refrain instead of the original. Anyway… I have my new PDA. So far I’ve not a clue how to use it properly… but *this* time I’ll be spending a lot of time learning … More I love my PDA…

Over in Wales… the Land of the Free… the Welsh Rugby Union decided it was their turn to ‘display’ their national pride last and asked the All Blacks if they’d mind doing their Haka after the UK national anthem… but before the *Welsh* national anthem so that they could ‘answer the challenge’… which after all … More All Blacks throw hissy fit

Pope Bennie is mulling over the possibility that the rules on condom use might be relaxed thus saving untold millions from heartache and despair. Well almost. Still unable to show any comprehension whatever of human nature, Bennie is still insisting on celbacy as the natural form of contraception but is showing signs that marriages in … More Der fuhrer says… ??

Some of the everyday tragedies repeadedly in the headlines around Australia are those reporting the deaths in ‘accidents’ of P-platers. For those outside Oz, our system has three levels of driver. In the first two the driver has to display a label appropriate to their level of skill. First is the ‘L’ which covers all … More P-plates, tickets to death.

On top of yesterdays embarrassment comes todays total humiliation for the English cricket team as Australia brushed them aside like flies round the dunny. In answer to Australia’s opening innings of 602 for 9… the Poms response was a pathtic 157 all out. To add further insult… the Aussies in their second innings reached a … More Ashes to Ashes

When I looked at the archives via the calendar… none of the pictures showed up. Obviously needs some investigating or it makes it all a bit weird. In the meantime… well in the meantime what? Does it make that much of a difference?? Dunno yet… be nice if it all worked properly though eh?? Also … More Here's a weird thing!

Well well… I found a copy of the old header… enlarged it a bit… bit too much maybe… and away we go. Ok it’s a bit fuzzy so I suppose I’ll have to rummage around for the original if I can find it and then we can use that… but for now?? Do I like … More Blast from the past.
