I'm Exited!!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be on a cinema screen in 1 day!!!!!

Intersections

This morning I suffered a barrage of mimed abuse after I got stuck part way out of an intersection (wanting to turn right). The chick in front waited so long to go that she ended up turning on the red light and I was stuck as traffic whizzed across me. Of course I was now blocking one lane and those not so happy campers would rather I drove into the oncoming traffic than hold them up for more than five minutes.

Did I do the right thing?

And roadrage really sucks!

This has done the rounds but still trips me out!

Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld comes to Adelaide

Read the article:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200511/s1507345.htm

I think it is ridiculous that we are closing down streets in Adelaide, including part of North Terrace in front of the Hyatt where Mr Rumsfeld is staying, for a two day period. Quite frankly, I feel that we should protest against THIS rather than the war as it is perposterous that major street arteries are closed down for one US official! If a terrorist wanted to attack the guy closing a couple of streets down isn't going to prevent that.

Also it's even more ridiculous that he is going to have an Australian security contingent of 500! Again if a terrorist wanted to attack this guy do you really think 500 officers are going to stop him - they will merely prolong the inevitable by acting as a human shield.

If anything we are exacerbating the situation by giving credence to the idea that the American government is the ruler of the world and perpetuating the arogance that the US Government already has.

It is a further nail in our coffin of identity as the Australian government yet again prostrates itself at America's feet.

Where's our backbone and do we really need America for is it not just a crumbling empire - as history dictates all empire's rise and fall and America is now on the downward slop towards obscurity thanks to George W Bush.

Your rights at work

The worker's of Adelaide marched today in protest of John Howard's new Industrial Relations act. All the unions were represented with bold banners as a mob of a few thousand strong walked peacefully up and down King William Street. The most disruption would have to have been when the protestors began to chat "Howard is a wanker", which caused police to frown and on-lookers to chuckle in amusement.

This kind of rowdy but peaceful protest will probably fall on deft ears especially Mr Howard's who is the architect of this 'not so fair' act. However, we the public need to take on some of the responsibility as we re-elected the little man!

And for those of us who didn't - well we're going to also suffer for the mass population's misjudgement or fear of trying something new.

I say next election - let's all vote green because that will make headlines worldwide!

Flightplan

I went to see the new Jodie Foster flick. I'm not even going to write alot about this one - just simply say that it was average and not worth the price of a ticket.

CB stands for Charlie Brown.

say hello to CB

**WARNING** Terrible humour to follow

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion
allowed per passenger."

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other andsays, "Dam"

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in
the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse! "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain. They name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ... (Oh, man, this is so bad,
it's good)..... A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

River torrens after the rain

Here are some pictures of the river torrens after the heavy rains we had.

The whale is from a christmas display that got washed away.

You may recall

Some of you may recall (way back when) that I made a bold challenge to myself to read all the books on the top 100 Angus & Robertson book list.

Well several months later and I have put down the "Catcher in the Rye" (the 1st book) indefinately.

Although my sister will balk at this next sentence and of course try to convince me otherwise - I did not particularly like the book and really don't see how it has earned cult status.

Perhaps it has something to do with chinese whispers and people blindly accepting that this book is listed amongst the greats.

To sum up the book and the story bored me.

There I have gone against the grain yet again - and now I prepare myself for the bitter replies!

Hypochondria and fear

If you haven't yet had a chance to visit Red Heads Do It Better be quick smart about it as there are several new posts including a piece of Hypochondria and fear which we may all find of interest.
