Not the ‘D-Day’ of old… but a more personal one. Tomorrow is 29th March and tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. is the start of the latest ‘Hills Biggest Loser’ Competition, and I’m in it! Don’t expect to win… but I do hope to get most of this weight off. Had I continued the diet and exercise … More Almost 'D-Day'.
We were sitting around discussing the number of legs various animals had, four on mammals, six on insects, eight on spiders etc and the subject of scorpions came up. After checking on Google Images I decided the question was ‘moot’ because although it has eight actual legs, most varieties have two large pincer carrying appendages … More Ads with a sting in the tail.
Surely being awarded $53 million was enough to last most people for life? Not so Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills who has set a team of accountants on the trail of”‘Macca’s missing millions” claiming he was worth double what was entered into court records as his net worth. But why? Invested wisely the money she … More What is it with Heather Mills?
Was reading a story about a father who arrived at the scene of a road crash where two of his young sons, his sister in law and two of her children were being loaded into stretchers. As he was checking on his 9 year old son, he was informed the 6 year old had died … More More preventable death on the roads.
Back again? No not mine… still the wife’s. She seems a *lot* better today. She’s currently sitting at the computer ‘working from home’ albeit sitting in one of our upright solid wooden ‘dining’ chairs.

Up at 4:45 a.m. and out at 5:15 a.m. with both kids and away to the ice rink for the youngest to have her lesson. By 6:45 a.m. she’d had enough she’d fallen on her knees and decided enough was enough. No matter how much coaxing and reminding her ‘champions never quit’… she was too … More Skater Boi?
A few weeks ago the eldest was sitting in the back of the car on the way home singing away as she does to whatever is in the radio. I like the ‘oldies’ so I tune into stations that play those songs. We were driving along listening to a song by the Police and suddenly … More Kids say the oddest things!
I like the Askimet plugin for WordPress (and other) blogs. So far in the current incarnation of the Opinion Australia blog, it’s intercepted 13,537 spam posts since it was installed.

In case you live outside Wales and wonder what the hell the subject is about… that expression is a part of Wenglish and means she’s following doctors orders about her back. He seems to think it’s nothing serious, a plain muscle spasm. He suggests she has a day or two on diazepam and anti-inflammatories and … More The wife's now under the doctor!
For those of us who lived through the turbulent ‘Beatle Years’ and the ensuing fall out following their… err… falling out… another chapter has closed with the death of Neil Aspinall aged 66, the ‘mastermind’ who pulled their fledgling company ‘Apple Corps’ into a semblance of order after the anarchy that preceded his arrival. He … More Vale Neil Aspinall
