I’ve been perusing the UK papers again and have spent a while looking through The Daily Mail which I’m sure I remember as a right wing, but basically even handed paper with some good editorial comment. The online version seems to either belie this memory, or the social situation in the UK has deteriorated to … More On the media's tale.
Until a few minutes ago I hadn’t heard of Joan Jackson who died aged 92 on April 11th. At least I *thought* I hadn’t, yet after reading the story that went along with the headline that attracted me, I soon learned I was mistaken! Joan Jackson was in fact *the* Joan Hunter Dunn made immortal … More Joan Jackson who she??
I’m beginning to wonder if we do in fact have more mice in here than the one the cat (re) captured and killed the other day. Now and then she hangs about around the kitchen staring underneath the fridge which is usually a sign of something… though we’re yet to discover what. Today she again … More Not more mice?
The UK papers were awash a few days ago with the stirring words of the Duchess of York, a.k.a. Fergie as she defended the honour of her daughter the Princess Beatrice a.k.a. ‘chubby buns’ who is getting a lot of flak (she says) because of her size and shape, i.e. errr… cuddly (?). Well you’d … More Chubby buns?

The selling points on the pack are that these things are Gluten Free, and contain 40% less fat … More Vege Chips.
Just chatting to the sister on Google chat about the pictures she uploaded to the gallery of our mother as a young girl. It made me think just how ‘sad’ life is in general. Perhaps sad isn’t the right word, but it’s how I felt. In mum’s pictures she’s there as a young girl with … More Life is a strange thing.
I saw an advert today for The Flip which is billing itself as ‘The World’s Simplest Video Camera’. Well of course this is all marketing hype par excellence. The basic features of “The Flip” are very similar to another tiny video camera… which of course I bought a year or more ago… called The Traveler … More Traveler DV-5040 versus The Flip
Despite Kevin Rudd’s government having excellent environmental credentials, it seems that Cape Alumina, a mining company might get mining rights to hack a huge hole in the area Steve Irwin bought as a permanent wildlife reserve. Seems there is bauxite under the ground and in Australia whilst you might own the surface you bizarrely have … More Rape of the fair country.
For preference I use Firefox as my browser of choice. It’s fast, easy to use and filled with features some other browsers don’t have. However, because I play with web pages I have to have the other major browsers available to ‘test’ that all I do looks similar in all of them. The newest kid … More That's Safari…
