You have to hand it to Christina Applegate, she’s really struck a chord with people suffering from breast cancer in that she has been quite open about the treatment she opted for in her battle with the disease. For someone so high in public visibility to make it clear she’d decided a bi-lateral mastectomy was … More Christina Applegate strikes a chord.
The UK Cycling team has excelled this year with them winning most of the gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Got to be fair… this really is an outstanding result. 🙂 Breaking world records along the way just adds icing to the cake.
No doubt *all* of us will be glued to our tv’s later on as the most famous discipline of the entire Olympic schedule begins in earnest. Yes… Synchronised Swimming will be using the pool vacated by the real swimmers. Oops… did I say ‘real’… of course I meant ‘other’ swimmers. Yet I still ask myself … More Drowning… with a rictus grin!

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.
To add to the mixed news in today’s blog entries, we have to pass on news of the sad if inevitable death of Dr. Randy Pausch. Some of you may remember Dr Pausch who made headlines a while back when, suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer, he made a life affirming lecture on September 18, 2007 … More Vale Randy Pausch
Sorry to report that I’m still suffering with the flu I didn’t mention I had. I came down with the Australian version of the lurgy a couple of weeks ago and I’ve gone steadily downhill since. Strangely even before it arrived I knew it was on the way. Over the many years of my life … More Sick as a Dog
