Aint love grand

Aint love grand

This is a little gem that's floating out there in cyberspace--well Craigslist to be specific. Can I tell all you single girls, it's times like this when I'm glad to be a happily married woman (or female as the following poet likes to say). Anyway [...]

Three men and a government

Three men and a government

The more I think about it the more I think Australia is going to end up with the government it deserves. No matter which party the independents support we are still going to have a minority government that is a by election away from collapse. And to [...]

Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

Come out, come out wherever you are

Come out, come out wherever you are

So we've got an election coming up on 21 August. Great, everyone says. Now we've got to go and bloody vote. That will me and you, but there are 1/2 million eligible people who will not be voting because they can't be bothered. Poor pets. Too busy [...]

Bedroom Lockout

Bedroom Lockout

There was a big hoo-ha on TV the other night over a woman who evicted her young daughter from her bedroom because said bedroom looked like a bomb hit it. It was a shocking thing to do said all the experts who's children probably have a drug habit [...]

I looove my Kindle. Tra-la-la

I looove my Kindle.  Tra-la-la

Sometimes you get sucked  into all the hoopla of something new and then you go "what was that all about"? It could have been like that for the Kindle, but really it hasn't worked out that way at all. All the hoopla is true, it's a three ringed [...]

Hijacking Barbie

Hijacking Barbie

No Barbie hasn't gone all Al Qaeda on us, she's just been hijacked by a group of technology enthusiasts who've commandeered the Mattel vote for Barbie's next career. After being a doctor, a tennis player, a pilot AND a flight attendant, Barbie [...]
