Too Much Starch Kevin?

In some undoubtedly hastily thrown together media stunt to get some publicity back from the Liberal Party after yesterday’s leadership spill, and change, Kevin Rudd bowled a few cricket balls at Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden today. Is it just me, or does Kevin use a LOT of starch in his tie? It doesn’t seem […]

All Three Paul Chapmans Out?

At this time of year, living in Geelong can be a humourous thing – especially when the Geelong Football Club are having a good year. I wonder if they are starting to get worried that maybe their “back-to-back premiership” is not as “in the bag” as so many people down here think?

No Parking?

Here’s a good reason not to park in front of a fire hydrant. A picture is certainly worth a thousand words!

Backups Rule, Okay?

You may have noticed that the site was down for a couple of hours yesterday, and when it was back up, that most of the content was missing until this morning. Well, my fault – I was doing some database maintenance, and inadvertently dropped the entire database. Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Except […]

Gotta love this sign, seen in the lead-up to the start of the Beijing Olympics. The only thing missing is a “Hello Kitty!” reference!

PensionBook Well, someone has put some thought into the Facebook of the future, and […]

An Honest Farewell!

Australians voted long-time Prime Minister, John Howard, out of office last weekend, installing Kevin Rudd in his place. Here, in “his” first televised address since the demise of his 11-year government, he expresses his thanks to the Australian people.

Swerving In Front Of Truck Is Bad!

Just ask the driver of this truck, and engineers from the Holden Racing Team, and Ford Performance Racing. This shot was taken on the highway outside of the Bahrain circuit where the V8 Supercars have raced this weekend. Apparently, a car swerved in front of the truck, which was forced to brake suddenly, with the […]

Career Option?

With the upcoming federal election on November 24, Australia will either return John Howard to The Lodge, or install Kevin Rudd as our newest Prime Minister. Should Rudd lose the election, it looks as if he might have a ready made career in television. As has been noted in the past, Rudd has a habit […]
