Coathanger

Gotta say that I reckon the coathanger on the Sydney Harbour Bridge looks pretty tacky to me. I wonder who got paid what to dream that up? Whats it supposed to be? Some sort of bogan icon commemorating all the coathangers that have served faithfully as radio antennas for the V8 Falcons and Holdens. Perhaps […]

Saddam hanged - vengeance or justice?

I must admit to mixed feelings about Saddam Hussein’s hanging in Baghdad today. On the one hand, he was clearly a war criminal, responsible for the murder and brutalisation of thousands, if not millions of Iraqis. There must be some measure of satisfaction among many of his regime’s victims at seeing him die ignominiously at […]

Iraq - everything’s under control

The US military death toll in Iraq now exceeds the number of people killed in the 9/11 attacks in 2001, at 2,974. Add to that the number of Iraqi civilians killed, whether it be in the tens or hundreds of thousands depending who you believe.
Stay the course, our government wants Australia to do. What exactly […]

Eat less do more exercise

Rather than suing the airline for charging him for a second seat because he was too fat for one, Jean-Jacques Jauffret might usefully spend his time doing more exercise and eating better.
I hate it when a fat person sits next to me on a plane and overflows into my seat. The seats are small enough […]

Christmas Bogan Style

Carols by Candlelight in Glenmore Park in far western Sydney last night was livened up by a mob of brawling youths. Police said the riot squad, along with officers from three local stations, were called to break up the brawls when they erupted during the carols at about 9.30pm (AEDT). It must have been fairly […]

Normality resumes

The Ashes are back in Australia’s hands after losing them to England last year, for the first time in 16 years. England surrendered them with only limited resistance, nothing like the hard fight that won them the Ashes. Australia leads the 5 test series 3-0 after 3 games, and unless they lose interest in the […]

Someone really wanted him dead

Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian spy who died in London recently, clearly had some major league enemies. According to UK police investigating his death, the polonium 210 that killed him would have cost more than $US10m.
Several of his friends have blamed the Russian government, specifically president Vladimir Putin, for his death, but the Kremlin has […]

Mr Ed

The bestiality charges against the woman arrested recently performing a sex act with a horse in Lismore have been dropped. She still faces charges of offensive behaviour, but that may also be withdrawn.
Name and shame anyway …. Tina Maree Watkins, 35, of Lismore, was the woman in question.
I heard someone joking on some TV show […]

Sing me Spanish Techno

Managed to find myself in Sydney yesterday, which happily coincided with being able to go to see The New Pornographers at the Gaelic Club. Great show, great band, don’t think they have a bad song in their repertoire.
Here’s a nice review of last night’s show by another New Pornos fan. Not much I can […]
