Revisiting and listening to a lot of the Floyd tracks over the past few weeks reminded me the film of “The Wall” existed so I sat around for a while at the computer yesterday watching it. Whilst nominally a Pink Floyd production, other than some credit for musical collaboration, it is totally credited to Roger … More Pink Floyd, "The Wall" revisited.
As usual when having a mid-morning cuppa, I was perusing the online version of one of the local rags. In this case it was the Sydney Morning Herald and saw for the first time a section at the bottom right of the page entitled’ Videos’. Nothing much being in the news I went to have … More Sexperts!
I’m still doing the ‘emailcash‘ thing and it all seems to be working out ok. For those that don’t know, emailcash is an online ‘rewards’ program specifically for Australians. They have nearly a million members now and it’s still growing. Basically you buy things online from selected retailers and receive ‘points’ for each dollar you … More Emailcash doing well.

The gist of the announcement was that the voters were ‘turning their … More Spin Doctors – who wants 'em?
This morning I was bemoaning the fact that I forgot to enter the Powerball Lottery this week when the Jackpot stood at a record AU$40 million. Today I’m pleased because it didn’t go off so I get another chance next Thursday when the Jackpot will stand at $50,000,000 can you *imagine* winning that?!? 😀 Personally … More Powerball jackpot to hit $50 million
A New Zealand man has been convicted of assaulting a teenager with a hedgehog. No idea why but William Singalargh, aged 27 was convicted of assault and offensive behaviour after he threw the hedgehog at a 15 year old boy who was returning home. The animal struck the youth on the hip and some of … More Assault by hedghog.
Just been listening to some early (very early!) Pink Floyd music from 1967 and it honestly sent shivers down my spine. The two most obviously ‘popular’ are Arnold Layne and See Emily Play which are just amazingly ‘complete’ as songs, not least because they came from the mind of that poor twisted soul, the late … More Pink Floyd revisited
I lifted this from the pages of the UK Daily Mail and it purports to be a ‘test’ anyone can take to determine if they have Alzheimer’s Disease.
