So this evening *I* went with the wife and youngest daughter to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The Hills Grammar School (THGS). The eldest daughter was in the chorus singing her little heart out along with 19 others… and a great job they did, conducted by Owen Nelson who … More More on Joseph at THGS.
Following my ringing endorsement of Ken Livingstone as potentially being re-elected Lord Mayor of London to let me use a corny old headline, Londoners have been out and voted… … and emphatically shouldered him aside in favour of Barmy Boris!! 🙂 The rest of the country took London’s lead as well and hammered the Labour … More Kenny, Kenny Kenny…
We’re off to the eldest daughters school tonight. She has a bit part in the chorus of the school production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The ensemble performed for the Junior School yesterday morning and gave the first of their two performances ‘to the public’ last night. The wife said she heard someone … More Jojo was a man who might have been a pharaoh…
A few days ago I posted a link to a ‘charity page’ run by realestate.com which promised to donate $1 for every time someone ‘unique’ clicked on the site. The target was $100,000 and I’m pleased to say the target was reached this morning. Well done and thanks to all who managed to find the … More Houses for the Homeless
Londoners vote again for their Lord Mayor tonight… and amazing as it may seem all these years after Maggie Thatchers demise, Red Ken Livingstone is up there amongst the front runners to win. To be fair, no matter how many mistakes he’s made and how many illegitimate children he’s fathered, the opposition is such a … More Turn again Livingstone… ?
Continuing on this theme of the daughters birthday, we come to the film we saw which was ‘The Spider Wick Chronicles’. I’ve not read the books, and haven;t seen any trailers for the films… so knew nothing of the plot and therefore what we were letting ourselves in for. Once we’d seen the film and … More Spiderwick Chronicles – film 2008
Having had lunch at the The Black Stump we set off to the picture house. Since the place was next door to the restaurant it wasn’t hard to find and in we trooped. The cinema is one of those owned by the Reading Cinema Group. Whether this is pronounced ‘redding’ or ‘reading’ (as in reading … More Reading Cinemas – Rouse Hill (again).
Another young boy was killed by a shark this morning. This time it was on the north coast… no more details yet but it reinforces my determination to not swim in the sea over here… unless in dire need! 😀
I think that verdict was the least that could have been found. Yet there are *still* unanswered questions even allowing for the months of evidence and the twenty million pounds the inquest has cost. We still need information concerning the White Fiat Uno that reportedly sideswiped the car she was travelling in. We also need … More Lady Di unlawfully killed?
Odd that the mother of little Shannon Matthews should be arrested for ‘perverting the course of justice’. Really makes you wonder what she did! All sorts of suppositions could be correct… or wildly off the mark. My favourite was that the ‘kidnap’ was a complete fake from go to whoa and that they did it … More Interesting!
