Winter comes to summer

I know Canberra is supposed to be cold and wintery, but last night parts of the city had a big hailstorm which left the ground covered in ice, even well into this morning. It looked like the worst of winter had come, and its only just the end of summer.

It didn’t hail at my place […]

The train must have been late again

When I read about a skeleton being found at a Melbourne train station, I thought, gee, his train must have been really late. Given the problems with Melbourne trains lately, its entirely plausible that someone could die waiting for the next train. However, it was nothing like that, turns out that the bones belonged to […]

Australians scale new heights in obesity

Actually, I don’t think that is the best metaphor for something like obesity. Shouldn’t it be more like Australians stretch for new breadths (or circumferences) in obesity?
According to a list issued by the Forbes organisation, Australia ranks 21st fattest country, 70% of people being regarded as overweight or obese. We aren’t as big a […]

Puritanism is alive and thriving in NSW Liberal Party

Brenton Pavier was the Liberal candidate for the seat of Wyong, until he was disendorsed for the crime of having a sick sense of humour. He sent a text message to some friends, which read something along the lines of:
“The video you have ordered about how to have sex with men with small penises […]

Choices, choices …..

Voters in NSW might think they’re overwhelmed for choice at the forthcoming State election, with these 2 contenders:

but look at what we here in Canberra have to choose from come election time:

Iemma might be head of a NSW government managing the state extremely incompetently and with more than the odd whiff of scandal, […]

Non-news of the week

This week’s non-news that has had plenty of media coverage includes the following gems. Fascinating what news editors consider to be major stories in their TV news and newspapers!
1. No, she didn’t, wait …. yes she did
Lisa Robertson is, soon to be was I’d speculate, a Qantas stewardess. On a flight to Mumbai, […]

Obama vs Howard

I like the look of Barack Obama, who announced (surprise, surprise!) his candidacy for the Democratic Party nomination for President of the USA in the 2008 election.

So when George Bush cheerleader John Howard attacked Obama’s policy to withdraw American troops from Iraq by March 2008, claiming that it would deliver a victory for terrorists, and […]

Now we know why Amanda got the bullet

You might think it was due to her performance as Immigration Minister, but no, thats not it at all. Regardless of all the cockups in her department, John Howard was perfectly prepared to stand by her as minister. Just like he’s backed Philip Ruddock all the way … and Ruddock was the minister under who’s […]

A hospital in Sarajevo has a mystery on its hands after a nurse who recently gave birth, named 20 doctors as potential fathers to the baby. She has asked hospital management to investigate and determine who fathered the child.
What I want to know is how she came up with a list of 20 men as […]
