Over Easter there was a tragic level crossing accident in Victoria which resulted in loss of life.
Afterwards, it was explained that it was “too expensive” to install boom gates (supposed to cost $500,000) so it is up to us to drive more carefully.
How stupid are we? TAC happily spends MILLIONS of our premiums on advertising […]
I have a new definition of “old”. If you can remember when you were allowed to be an idiot, you are definitely OLD!
Recently someone made the comment that you’d have to be an idiot to ride a bicycle without wearing a helmet. Maybe that is true, but on that basis anyone of my age would […]
My motorcycle Learners Permit arrived in the mail yesterday (hideous photo) and with it three pieces of interesting information. The fact that two have absolutely nothing to do with driving is, I suppose, offset by the fact that the cost to the government is minimal.
But wait, the infomation is really valuable…
The Deafness Foundation advises […]
Maybe I’m getting old and no longer like change… But who was the idiot who decided that the All Blacks have suddenly become the Half Blacks? As a staumch supporter I switched on to the NZ/Scotland World Cup match this morning and thought that I had the wrong match. Once over that, the whole game […]
The White Pages in Australia are being updated now.

Tonight, I was taking a look at what was there and discovered that I can post to a blog in myspace
I’ve posted a couple of thoughts sparked by that browsing including one that concludes…
I am still at a loss to understand how […]
I am constantly amazed at the difficulty I have convincing clients/friends and others that connecting a PC to the internet is one of the most dangerous modern activities.
It seems that the most prevalent attitude is yes, but it won’t happen to me.
Well, the truth of the matter is it can, it will … and it […]
Did you know that some part of your taxes are spent by our Government on maintaining a National Public Toilet Map?
Yep, sure is, just click on the link and before you can cross your legs you’ll have a full color map marking the location of the nearest public toilet!
The site proudly announces that it is […]
Anyone even remotely connected with online developments, or who wants to be seen as an expert in some field, has to start their own blog. But how intimidating is the first day…
I’ve had a couple of experimental blogs, spent some time creating the template for this blog, and here it is, nothing posted.
All the blogs […]
