Two parents who had split up about a year ago, recently went to the Family Court to ask for a ruling on where their 7 year old daughter’s birthday party should be held and who should be invited.   Her dad wanted to celebrate at McDonald’s with gifts, balloons, his relatives, his new partner - and […]

Happy families?

Isn’t this just a picture of happiness?
  When I saw New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer’s apology the other day with his wife standing next to him I thought there is one deeply pissed off looking woman.  Quite reasonable that she be too, after all her husband was apologising for being caught paying for sex with […]

Corey, Meet Gemma

Goose

Well, India beat Australia in the one day international cricket last night.  Congratulations, India, but who really cares?  The big news of the night wasn’t cricket but Andrew Symond’s crash tackle on a streaker who invaded the field while Symonds was batting.  This has made the news around the world.

Here’s the streaker, one Robert […]

Getting into bed with developers

Councils and other levels of government may often have been accused of being “in bed with” building developers. In Wollongong, thats a statement of fact, not merely a metaphor for being corrupt, or at least in a friendly,cosy relationship.

Rough justice/just desserts

I’m always amused by tales of criminal stupidity, and in particular doing something really dumb while committing their crimes and inadvertently delivering themselves a “do it yourself” punishment.
The latest one occurred on the Gold Coast last night.  Two men, held up a man at knifepoint at the Stockland West Burleigh shopping centre, and stole his […]

Dumb optimism

I saw yesterday a story about a guy in Melbourne who’d been seen carrying a barbeque on his motorbike.   He has apparently seen the error of his ways and accepted that what he did is pretty dumb.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The same guy recently ferried a couch on his bike from Keilor Downs to his Sydenham flat.

OH&S - for suicide bombers

Let this be a lesson to all suicide bombers.  Be careful where you tread - slips and trips are a hazard in the suicide bomber business, and workplace accidents can have deadly consequences.
A would-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, […]

He’s a very naughty boy

I know, I know - I said I didn’t intend to say any more about Corey Delaney (Worthington?).  
His parents released an open letter defending their son.  Its actually quite a balanced letter, saying that their son is a decent, kind and family oriented boy, but he screwed up with his party last weekend and […]
