Woo hoo!!!

I mentioned last week the possibility of a new role, still with my current employer.
Well, I’ve been offered it and decided to take it on.  While I’ll be travelling in Asia mostly, I’m off in about 3 weeks to  here:

Need more of a hint?  Try this:

Still haven’t worked it out?  What about this?

We’re on the side of good in the battle against evil, aren’t we?

I wonder how much more will come out regarding the alleged massacre by US marines of 20 plus unarmed Iraqi civilians in Haditha last November. The details of what happened last November 19 are still murky. What is known is that a bomb rocked a military convoy and left one Marine dead. Marines then […]

People who should never breed, part 7,547

Samuel Marc Barnes Siddall, 21, of Beldon, a suburb of Perth, is one.
He was minding his girlfriend’s 13 month old baby while she went out.  The baby spilt some liquid on herself.
What did he do?  Put her in the clothes dryer of course!  She suffered severe bruising and burns as a result.
Siddell appeared in court […]

Todd and Brant come to Canberra

Good to see that Todd Russell and Brant Webb, the two miners rescued from the Beaconsfield mine, have their heads screwed on right.   Speaking at a reception held in Canberra today to honour the rescuers and others involved with the recent events in Beaconsfield, they showed refreshing modesty and commonsense.
Said Brant  Webb:
“We’re not heroes of […]

But at least they’re tougher than the All Blacks

Almost pissed myself laughing when I read this.
2 NZ All Blacks were drinking in a bar in Christchurch after the Super 14 final. Chris Masoe reportedly punched a man at the bar after tripping over his leg. Tana Umaga then picked up a woman’s handbag and hit Masoe over the head with it. […]

Rugby League - the game for yobs

Two interesting articles in today’s papers about the culture of rugby league.
First, this one about the problems of alcohol fuelled bad behaviour among the elite players in Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL). This comes the week after a player, Tevita Latu, was fired by his club, Cronulla, for punching a woman in the face […]

X-Men 3

My son and I saw this today, and enjoyed it.  We’ve seen both the earlier X Men movies and they’re all good fun.
Clearly this was a wrap-up of the series - can’t see another movie after it being made.  Ian McKellen more than anyone makes the movie, as Magneto, which he plays over the top.  […]

Anyone see the fog ball tonight?

I said to my son this afternoon that I had a choice to make at 5.30 tonight.  Watch the Super 14 final or watch the Raiders vs Cowboys NRL game.  I chose the Raiders game.  About 10 minutes in, I flicked over to the Super 14 final, and saw one of the funniest sporting events […]

English cuisine

 ….is obviously pretty bad.
According to a survey, many dog owners feed their dogs a better diet than what they eat themselves.  More than a quarter surveyed said they would eat the food they bought their dog.
Yummy!

Would you go for the summit if it meant leaving someone to die?

I’ve been following this debate in the press the last few days, about climbers on Mt Everest leaving a British man to die and continue to press on to the summit rather than trying to help him. Interesting moral dilemna isn’t it?
NZ climber Greg Inglis in particular is being criticised by many for his […]
