An Unwanted Diversion

My wife and I returned from a 10 day cruise around the South pacific. The holiday was meant to exclude going to smelly Noumea as we had been there once before and were not impressed.
As we floated around the Pacific Ocean on the Pacific Star, it was announced to us that we would be making a slight detour and that our previous destination (The Isle of Pines) would have to be averted due to some silly old bugger suffering a from some illness on the ship. He or she had to be hospitalized and 2000 people would have to put up with it. Where did we end up? Noumea!

I want my money back!


Having had my whinge, I can tell you that we had the time of our lives anyway. I think the kids would have preferred to stay home and play on the X-Box....little turds.

The most powerful man in the world......err....

Stuff like this cracks me up. I often feel that sometimes, the people that edit these little snippets really don't need to 'enhance' anything...

George Bush Drunk Part II

Late Late Show Craig Ferguson is convinced that the Prez has fallen off the wagon - take a look at the evidence.

Dem Bones, Dem Bones

Not everything in life is easy when you grow old. You start to forget things and you also can injure yourself quite easily. Both of these apply to me...

While finishing up a gig at a local pub on the South Coast, I stepped off the stage while perving at the barmaids and manage to twist my foot underneath me. There was a loud 'POP' and everybody looked around to see me writhing in pain on the floor. I had fractured the small bones in foot x-rays would later show. It has now been around 6 - 8 weeks and things are returning to normal, but as you get older, the stifness and pain just seems to refuse to go away. The guy pictured here thought it was hilarious...

How to destroy your Bank Account

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and get one of those damn-fangled new big screen TV's. Considering what I had before, this is just like looking out your window. In fact, it's even better than looking out my windows, as I have not cleaned those in quite a while. I now have something that compliments the Home Theatre system that I've had for about 4 years or more. I decided to go with the LCD variety of TV and not the plasma, as the plasma seems to leave a sort of relic around the sharp edges of the picture that is on screen. This new TV also has a built in HD set-top box thingy and automatically sets itself up once you plug the antenna in and turn the TV on. Good. That saves me.


Now I can watch Jerry Springer in Hi Definition....

Long Time Between Drinks

Well, as some of you may know, it takes a bit of time and dedication to keep a blog going, so you will forgive me if I haven't entered anything in here for quite a while. Yes you, the one person out there that reads this drivel.
Well, what should we talk about?

Perfect!

The VPOTUS was in Australia a couple of weeks back and about 800 protestors turned up to greet him. Over two days, the cries of "Bring our troops home now" "No Blood for Oil" and "Cheney's a wanker!" were heard in The Rocks. There was, however, support for the man during his stay. Below is a picture of the enthusiastic support base for the VP.



As shown by the support base here, there is nothing wrong with loving America. However, there is certainly something wrong with loving evil Americans who obviously hate America and other Americans which, with Cheney, is obviously the case.

The Lewinski scandal endured by the Clinton Administration has nothing on this lot; the cover-ups, the corruption, the lies & lack of evidence that took us into an illegal war, the treasonous outing of a covert CIA operative in an attempt to wreak revenge on a man who told us that there were no WMD's in Iraq and no, Hussein did not seek Yellow-cake from Niger, and now the scandals surrounding the Attorney General and biggest weasel of them all Alberto Gonzales (more affectionately known as 'Gonzo').....the list goes on.

It's time to stop this occupation of Iraq and time to shut the Bush apologists up that keep using the same old "We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here" meme. What are they going to do? Get in their boats and row over? Please!
