Girlfriend troubles – the bogan solution

Posted by Ian on November 30, 2009 in bogans & dickheads, crime & punishment

A man in Bunbury, Western Australia was apparently having some sort of dispute with his ex-girlfriend – maybe he was not accepting of the “ex” status of their relationship.  So what does he do?  Enlists the help of his parents.  OK, fair enough, they presumably have more life experience and could well offer some useful [...]

Hungry Jacks throws its hat in the ring

Posted by Ian on November 27, 2009 in funny stuff

With the new Angry Anus burger. That’s what you get for employing dumb teenagers in your stores (its actually supposed to be Angry Angus – Hungry Jacks response to the McDonalds Mighty Angus).  Actually I’m intrigued by McDonalds pushing their Angus burgers as a premium product … so what were they selling us before, dog [...]

Fast enough?

Posted by Ian on November 22, 2009 in my stuff, travel

One of the things I did on my unexpected stopover in Shanghai recently was go for a train ride.  How would you like it if this were the normal speed for trains?   This is on the Maglev train which runs from Shanghai airport to the city – it covers 30km in 8 minutes.  You [...]

Help, ambulance, I need to get to hospital

Posted by Ian on November 18, 2009 in funny stuff, science & medicine

Well not in this case.  A patient in the Hobart Private Hospital noticed some bleeding from a wound drain after some surgery he’d had.  He rang the call bell to get some assistance.  After 10 minutes and no response, he rang his wife who rang the nurses’ station.  Again, no response.  He then rang 000 [...]

Still in China

Posted by Ian on November 12, 2009 in my stuff, travel

Did I mention how boring it is sitting around in airports?  Well today in Beijing it was snowing, so flights were delayed and/or cancelled all over the place.  End result – missed connection in Shanghai to Sydney and will now be flying back tomorrow night.  So I’ve got a day in Shanghai to fill in.  [...]

Its all the fault of Bohemian Rhapsody

Posted by Ian on November 12, 2009 in my stuff, travel

Its my last few hours in Beijing and I have a sore throat.  It might be due to the cold weather, but I am blaming Tuesday night’s karaoke (KTV) bar adventure for it.  Especially my efforts at Bohemian Rhapsody – those high notes were a killer.  Not to mention that song just goes on and [...]

Reflection

Posted by Ian on November 8, 2009 in my stuff, travel

My last free day in Beijing for this trip.  Been here 3 weeks now, 4 more sleeps now before I fly home.  I really like Beijing, but am really looking forward to getting home. Looks like the last couple of days here are going to be cold and maybe snowy.   No doubt a foretaste of [...]

Yum – seahorses and scorpions

Posted by Ian on November 7, 2009 in my stuff, travel

I decided to give this a miss today.  Likewise starfish. About as adventurous as I’ve been with the eating here has been pig’s feet we had as part of lunch yesterday, which was quite ok.  We nearly talked ourselves into the spicy stirfried bullfrog, too, but wimped out. PS …. I forgot to mention before, [...]

Snow

Posted by Ian on November 1, 2009 in my stuff, travel

It did snow here today, more than I’ve ever seen except when I’ve been to a ski field.  Here’s what I could see out of my hotel room window. (I know, I know … for Northern Hemisphere people snow is no big deal, but for Australians it is a novelty.  I live in one of [...]
