Sleep talking

The other day I got a dynamo torch, you know the ones that don’t need batteries, just wind up and go.  I have been wanting a dynamo torch for a long time and I have to say “I love my dynamo”.  Perhaps it’s my thrifty nature but I just find free electricity fantastic, if only [...]

Kitchen Window View

I’d love to say that when I do the dishes I’m looking out at rolling hills and wild mountain goats but the truth is all I see is old peoples underwear. In fact from my kitchen window I can see two of my neighbours clothes lines and everything on them.  With no trees or shrubs [...]

Circus dreams turn to nightmares

 
I think we all dreamed of running away to the circus at one point in our lives.  To a five year old the lifestyle looks incredible, sweets, animals, acrobats and clowns…what more could there be?  How about piranhas, snakes and slavery?  That’s what these two Bulgarian sisters aged 19 and 16 were [...]

There’s something on the windscreen

I just read a news article where a man drove his car into two joggers.  I would be horrified if I hit a dog let alone two people.  This moron not only didn’t stop but he continued home and parked his car with a person stuck in his windscreen.  Now how the [...]

110%….my pet hate!

Nick Cave was right….people just ain’t no good!

I enjoy Nick Cave’s ballads, can’t listen to most of his songs around the kids but I do enjoy his style.  One of his songs states “people just ain’t no good, I think that’s well understood.”  I would have to agree with that statement, it’s easy to look around in life and [...]

Rewarding an idiot….the Corey Worthington story

I don’t really want to give this knob anymore attention then what he is getting but he is a perfect example of society rewarding an idiot.  Here we have a boy who broke his parents trust and while they were away threw a party involving 500 plus people.  Throw nude twister and [...]
