When Todd Woodbridge wished the earth would open up and swallow him whole

When Todd Woodbridge wished the earth would open up and swallow him whole

I am one of apparently .0099% of the Australian population who find tennis boring, boring, boring. But if the Australian Open can present more moments like this then I may find it way more interesting. Check out Todd Woodbridge as Kim Clijsters [...]

2011–year of the…

2011–year of the…

So a few things you may not have known. 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit. 2011 is the Year of the Forest. 2011 is the Year of the Volunteer. 2011 is the Year of the Celebrity Baby. Rightio then, I made the last one up. But it's so much better than [...]

Crazy Christmas devil jumper

Crazy Christmas devil jumper

  What's the deal with the crazy man dressed like Ronald McDonald (sans mask) long-jumping babies? Thought you'd never ask. Apparently this is El Colacho (baby jumping) in Spain. During the feast of Corpus Christi the Ronnie McD doppleganger [...]

So who’s paying for the wedding?

So who’s paying for the wedding?

They're all very modern now, the royal family. The Queen's got a twitter account, Camilla says things like wicked (and no she's not referring to herself as an adjective before stepmother) and now they're allowing Kate Middleton's family to cough up [...]

I got no music in me

I got no music in me

I'm not really a music person. No particular taste or style. Don't love it, don't hate it. Have no clue what Eminem's saying--he talks to fast but I admire his art though he has some anger issues that should be addressed. I have however been [...]

I while back I wrote a blog about Princess Perfect aka Princess Mary of Denmark and made a joke about her going to princess school. Well it wasn't really princess school, it was more a deportment thingie, but anyway it did the trick for Mary. But [...]

Happy passive aggressive Thanksgiving

Happy passive aggressive Thanksgiving

Gosh I envy Americans their Thanksgiving celebrations. Here in Australia we don't do Thanksgiving. We have Melbourne Cup Day where we drink and gamble and watch horse races but sadly most of the country does not get a public holiday. So in honour [...]

I wonder if my husband is a bogan. God I hope not.

I wonder if my husband is a bogan.  God I hope not.

There's a new book out--Things Bogan's Like. I'm buying it for my husband for his birthday because I have this sneaking suspicion that he might be a bogan--well a closet one anyway. I don't think I am but there's no room for complacency here. [...]

Walrus workout

Walrus workout

Hey I don't mean you or me. I really do mean a walrus doing a workout. Check out walrus working out with his trainer. The sit ups at the end are the best bit. Now get on your workout gear and join in.  You might even get a fish as a reward at the [...]

Do you remember HR Puff n Stuff?

Do you remember HR Puff n Stuff?

Gosh here's another retrospective Gen Xers. It's the intro from HR Puff n Stuff and sadly one of two songs (the other is Rhinestone Cowboy) that I know all the lyrics to. OK, so if you've forgotten here's the basic premise to Puff n Stuff. Puff n [...]
