Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
I love sausages… well made ones anyway. I like the UK varieties… mostly… and would eschew the ‘european’ version for an old fashioned porker anytime. There is something peculiarly ‘British’ about a plate of sausages. mashed potatoes, processed peas… and onion gravy. Can’t seem to find it anywhere else in the world unless the ‘somewhere … More Bangers and Mash
I love Yorkshire puddings… not had one for years… as previously… nobody but me likes them much… and really that ‘stick to your ribs’ food isn’t suited to the weather in Australia… but even so… the sight of that puffed up crunchy crispy batter making its way from dish to plate always made my mouth … More Yorkshire Pudding
Having got sworn yet at again by our resident “career victim” I’ve decided to drop out of Australian Opinion. I’ve been there virtually every day for the past 18 months and I think I need a break from it. Ok I know mods are supposed to above all that… but there are limits even for … More The 'other place'
In the UK Posties tend to be on foot… walking up and down streets, up and down steps, stairs, driveways etc… filling letter boxes and moving on. Here in Oz of course things are never that simple. The posties races around neighbourhoods on mopeds with sacks full of mail in panniers on the side. Done, … More It's a weird old place this – 2
Over the past few weeks a fire has been quietly burning in the Blue Mountains… currently it’s raging betwen the towns of Bell and Mt Victoria (but about 3 k from each) and is being fanned by high winds. So far it’s destroyed somewhere in the region of 10,000 hectares… yet tonight the place is … More It's a weird old place this
Bad enough that I had to get up early at all… but what must be done has to be done. I woke 5:15 and lay there for a while wondering why I was awake… and after my brain shook some of the fuzz off, I got up… and that’s where it all went wrong, First … More The day started like this…
This week is a bummer. Loads of stuff to do and no time to do it. Made a start on the docs yesterday with the clinic visit… I have another dropoff to do today… then today I spent a happy morning sitting in a waiting room at the service station while the car was fixed. … More Two down… 'x' to go.
I spent over two hours this morning waiting in the pathology area of the local hospital ( only 20 mins away once the new road is finished) having my Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT). I’d tell you how much fun it was… but it wasn’t. Two hours sitting listening to the staff complaining about their managers … More Now what *was* I going to write?
It’s sacrilege! Kath and Kim has been bought by an American production company and is set to become a hit over there. After seeing what a mess the yanks made of such cultural icons as One Foot in the Grave utterly ruioned by Bill Cosby…Â and that ‘She Devil’ abomination with Rosanne in it… I’m … More That's not noice!
Can hardly wait for the release next month of “Love”… the first almost new Beatles record in years. It contains one of the first ever renditions of ‘Strawberry Fields’ as sung by John Lennon. It’s being released because it is the soundtrack to a Cirque de Soleil show that is running in Las Vegas. I … More Love for sale!
