You Can’t Be Serious!

Got a laugh about this advertising placement with a report into the passing of Leslie Nielsen: A tribute to the Flying High movies? Perhaps not – but ironic. A sad day – we have lost a genius comic performer.

New Geelong Hospital Announced – Again

With less than two weeks until the Victorian state election, the incumbent Labor government is getting out and announcing just about anything and everything they can. Over the weekend, $165m was “announced” for the new southern Geelong hospital. Labor Pledges $165m for Hospitals “The Government, if re-elected, will plough $85 million into the new stand-alone […]

Three-Times Disabled

Got a laugh out of the following car parked below my office window earlier this morning. The driver must be three-times disabled, as he or she needed to display three disabled parking tags. Poor thing!

Dale Wood: Bathurst Legend?

In the best Bathurst driving combination since David “Truckie” Parsons teamed up with David “Skippy” Parsons in 1999, if the #7 Jack Daniel’s Kelly Racing Commodore gets up in today’s Bathurst 1000, the name Dale Wood will go down in race history! In this screen capture from the Seven Network telecast, it should also be […]

Way to Plagiarise Brian!

I stumbled this afternoon on an interesting little kerfuffle about the clear and obvious plagiarising of a blog post by @misscoca, another example of just how easy it is to try and appear smarter online. People even set up “auto-plagiarising sites” these days, with varying degrees of success. Spot The Difference Lauren posted this interesting […]

Gold Coast Wiggle Racing?

Fifteen Milliseconds of Fame

Well the election has finally been decided, and the media are busily dissecting the historic events of yesterday, recording every last detail – real or imagined – for posterity. I actually got a bit of a laugh out of this article: Obscenity Uttered by Reporter Sparks Viral Debate They say if you live long enough, […]

Spammer Duh!

Got a chuckle at one of the spam emails trapped by my filters today – (take note: no scams or spams coming through my portal, Mr Conroy!): Spam declaring itself as “posible [sic] spam”? How nice of the spammers to help like that!

What Is The Good Senator Scared Of?

I was taking a look at electoral information for my electorate in preparation for next Saturday’s federal election. Checking out the information for Corio, I found something curious. There are five candidates in the senate information without any contact information, all from minor parties and independents – except for one. Guess who? Afraid of people […]

Workplace Toilet Humour

I was taking “advantage of the conveniences” at work this morning, and took great humour at the attempt by building management to reinforce a “don’t come to work if you are sick” message. Admirable. I love the suggestion that I should not come to work if I am feeling “tiredness”. I’d never be at my […]
