I have seen Hermione
For all my Hermione Granger fans, I can say, yes I have seen her. Took the kids to see “Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince” last weekend – my first time, their second. I thought it was an ok movie, nothing special. My kids rated it one of the better Harry Potter movies – [...]
aha, so I’m not the only one who thinks so
In today’s Sydney Morning Herald, Ross Gittins wrote a nice column which points out a few home truths about the Rudd government which I’ve thought for a while. To quote from it: In the short time he’s been in office, Rudd has established a record of over-promising and under-delivering. One of his greatest weaknesses is [...]
‘Curry bashing’ for fun and laughs
“Curry bashing” apparently is a form of amusement for some of the lowlife scum among the population. It means going out looking for Indian people to beat up. Or, if you’re John Caratozzolo, and you can’t find an Indian, a Chinese will do just fine. Caratozzolo and his mates were out one night in January [...]
Just wanted a hot lunch
A Melbourne man was angry that his wife didn’t make his lunch one day. So he did what any reasonable person would, and went and bought some, right? No, he poured petrol on the staircase and set fire to the house, with his wife and 2 daughters inside. Fortunately they were able to flee through [...]
Happy families
Jamie Neale, the young British backpacker who was lost for 12 days in the Blue Mountains recently, and his father, Richard Cass, look to be developing very Corby-like publicity deficit disorder, characterised by the constant need to be in the public spotlight. Cass, 54, said the relationship with his 19-year-old son had turned "murderously nasty" [...]
Schappers gone nuts
According to family, Australia’s favourite drug smuggler, Schapelle Corby, in jail in Bali is delusional, so traumatised by her time in jail that she has lost all touch with reality. Her condition has so shocked her family they are begging the Australian Government to send a psychiatrist to Bali to assess Schapelle and try to [...]
I’m a tits man
I’ve posted before about the early sexualisation of children, and here’s the latest kerfuffle on the subject. Retailer Cotton On is selling a range of children’s t-shirts with risque slogans on them, for example: "The condom broke" "Pardon my nipple breath" "I’m living proof my mum is easy" "I’m a tits man" "Mummy likes it [...]
Drunk to death aged 22
I just saw this story of British man, Gary Reinbach, who died aged 22 of liver failure, caused by severe cirrhosis of the liver. Gee, I thought, that would have taken some serious drinking to get to the point of killing him at such a young age. Reinbach began binge drinking when he was just [...]
Bruno
Went to the movies today to see “Bruno” the new Sacha Baron Cohen movie. I enjoyed it. Like Ali G and Borat, Baron Cohen’s other characters, you need to be a fan of crude humour (I am). Best bits: the scene with the psychic Straight Dave’s Man Slammin’ Max Out Technorati tags: Bruno, [...]
Diving into the gene pool
According to one young girl’s mother, you can get pregnant from swimming in a pool. I suppose it beats found a baby under a cabbage leaf, or delivery by stork. Magdalena Kwiatkowska’s 13-year-old returned to Poland from their holiday expecting a baby. Magdalena believes the teenager conceived from stray sperm after taking a dip in [...]
