The Daily Gaggle

Each blogsite has its own set of rules which are usually simple to follow. On my blog they are even simpler, 'ANYONE' may comment providing words of an obscene nature are not used, if so you will be more than likely deleted. To comment simply click on to comments at the bottom of each post, you may use your name, Pseudo name, or be Anonymous. Call soon . VEST.

I am not an unforgiving person just for the sake of some past comments which raised the ire and left me stumbling for a retalliatory reply, you win some and in most cases lose more. I have recently spoken to an English gent who six months ago stirred the bucket on a well subscribed USA Blog Site, his clash of opinions resulted in his being excommunicated big time to say the least. Recently he; according to the rules of blog play in Uncle Samland, Had the temerity to post a comment so as to say "Hello septics I am still in circulation; do you remember me", it seems they did. A few caustic remarks and a drop dead pal deletion by the blog owner, whom I consider most times to be a forthright person; sent him on his way. Verily it doth seem, the rant of the hypocrite may have been hard to swallow, but his cant of criticism has left the blog owner in torment.I sometimes wonder who won that war of words . The English gent in question (an actor of sorts , among other attributes) has ...

Its that time of the year again when Hubby tosses away his old shirt and jeans image, cleans his shoes brushes down his best bib and tucker namely his black Blazer and conventional strides, pins on his collection of campaign medals- one in a high order bracket, to spend most of what is known in Australia as "ANZAC DAY" Which is for those living elsewhere the major war commemmoration day in Australia which coincides with the gallipoli landing in Turkey April 25 1915 WW1. Anzac day draws in all other known conflicts involving Australians, and of course British Commonwealth ex service veterans too, which includes hubbies dear friends and former shipmates he served with up to 63 years ago, there are only a handful left but hubby is in constant touch with them all and meets with them several times a year as well as the occasional final farewell. Hubby served on the 40,000 ton Brit Battle Ship (HMS KING GEORGE V Which had a hand in sinking the BISMARK) in various parts of the globe...

I am not too sure, possibly one is as important as the other. I have been criticized by some for having more outgoing comment than that incoming, not exactly true in the sense of the word, as more incoming comments would be posted if it were not for the deletion proccess condemning the use of unseemly language. But I feel in my case , it is more important and rewarding for me to listen to what other people have to say, which means you are in a constant state of learning, Isn't it more fun to read what other people have written than read your own writing which is pointless as you already know the content, although I suppose it would be selfish not share your opinions and little secrets. In the past 12 months I have widened my horizens, and have learned how to praise and put down in a more sophisticated manner, I have not lost the knack of keeping cool in the face of adversity, and I am proud to say each and everyone I have met Blogging I have a deep respect for. "CARRY ON...

This post is mainly for the benefit of non Australians who dwell over yonder pond on the Nth American continent. It would seem that many of you people are distressed about the quality of your water, that which is delivered to you via the house hold tap(faucet). In that case your service reservoirs should cleanup their act, and yourselves employ the use of domestic water filters for final consumption and boil it for a further safe guard. The only area of this State which does not have water restrictions starts from aprox 25 miles north from where I live, the remainder of us have been living with water restrictions for about 3 years, All of the Dam levels are down to between 18 to 35 per cent capcity due to lack of rainfall, although it did rain quite hard yesterday. The quality of our water supply is good if you dont mind the occasional whiff of clorine and you are a dental freak who enjoys Aluminium Tailings(Fluoride). Watering cans only allowed on certain days, NO hosing of lawns or ...

The State Government of New South Wales Australia are at it again, recently they were imploring overseas nurses to take up vacant positions in our state hospitals at a healthier salary than our locals. Now the State Govt is to Import Dentists (Tooth Butchers) to fill the gaps in this open wide industry. Will these imported Dentists be known as; persons of foriegn extraction, and will this injection of foriegn tooth maulers have our local dentists looking down in the mouth, maybe both groups will amalgamate? Who Caries ?

NSW Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal has a habit of using this sort of language, meaning name calling and referring to members of the opposition as 'Dick Heads', these frequent gaffes of his within parliament have now overflowed to the street, causing great embarrassment to the Premier Mr Iemma, or should we say Dilemma. Mr doozy Roozendaal was caught illegally using a bus only lane so avoiding gridlocked traffic , while other motorists sweated in lengthy queues. His ministerial car driven by a minder was caught on camera skipping past peak hour traffic on Old South Head road in Sydney which will cost the driver of his car $225 .00 and 3 demerit points( 12 demerit pts in one year, you say adios to your licence). Mr Dickhead Roozendaal recently approved of a government slogan after the roads authority installed cameras in these bus and transit lanes "DONT GET BUSTED IN A BUS LANE". Now to help things improve, our wise State Govt will now strangle the traffic flow even ...

A young guy told this story to his girlfriend. On the top shelf of the kitchen stood the cookie jar with its lid off. One female and two male mice saw this and jumped in for a feed. The lady of the house who was leaving for a few days seeing she had not replaced the lid, did so, Which trapped the mice. The female mouse began to worry, "How can we get out say's she". "Dont worry darling" say's one of the male mice, "Y ou sleep with me tonight and I'll tell you in the morning". The female mouse woke to find her lover gone (the dirty rat) and the other mouse grinning. " Whats so funny" say's she, " How did he get out". "Sleep with me tonight and I will get you out in the morning" Say's the 2nd male mouse. "Oh all right" say's she. The next morning she woke to find she alone occupied the cookie jar, she was furious , but after a while she looked around the cookie jar and discovered how her love...

Generally the Muslims are poorer being they have larger families than the Christians, and have fewer prospects of employment. They have not assimilated in the same way as the Greeks and Italians have, Christian Lebanese have done so and are spread over a wide area, unlike their Muslim brothers who choose to cluster in a tight group, so as to protect their religious values. Lebanese Muslim men tend to have lower levels of education, relatively high levels of unemployment and a high tendency not to be in paid work. The unemployment figure for the first and second generation was 15 percent and 12 percent respectively, these figures are slightly more than twice the national average, although there has been a marked improvement, they are still not doing very well. It would seem that employers are reluctant to employ persons who bring their religeon and traditions to the work place and in doing so disrupt the the smooth running of the business with demands of privileges not afforded to othe...

Australians were more likely to be victims of crime than any other developed country. More alarmingly criminals were also resorting to holding up people in the streets. A similar armed robbery spree occurred last Sept. The latest report from the Bureau of crime statistics reveals that of all robberies without a weapon , only 13 percent were solved within 90 days. For robberies with a firearm, the figure was 9.3 per cent.

I slept fairly well last night, but kept thinking of that pretty thing in the office. Yes she is very pretty and it is my Rosemary's idea that what I do in the office is my own affair and I don't have to interfere in her; formerly our; subliminal bliss. Yes she is very pretty, looking at her at this very moment I see her quivering in anticipation; waiting for that rapturous moment when her beautiful coverings are removed to reveal the sweet scent of her unlaid body and she is deflowered by some unscrupulous snoring person. It was my wife Rosemary who decided my office needed more utilisation due to its commodious proportions, I now have a pretty look about the office, with a beautiful floral design quilted covered bed stuck there in full view. I can imagine the look of horror when lady visitors arrive at the office, I may test it out on a sporty younger female friend, like, "First door on the right, make yourself comfy, i'll be with you shortly.

Port Arthur Killer, Martin Bryant 39, Australia's worst mass murderer has become an overweight ZOMBIE, states the mother of this creature that killed without cause, 35 innocent people and seriously injured many others in a shooting rampage on April 28 1996. This ex gun toting ogre appears to be losing his marbles and refuses to talk to his mother, doctor or inmates where he is incarcerated in Hobarts prison hospital in Tasmania. If you do not recall this frightful event happening nearly ten years ago, it can be regurgitated by clicking onto Google, simply (Martin Bryant Port Arthur)lots of info available. It was on Feb 1 this year while on vacation in Tasmania that I visited Port Arthur, where the remains of one of the first penal settlements in Australia is located. Port Arthur is a great drawcard for tourists visiting Tasmania, 'I wonder why'.

The Gungho Gun Toting Loonies are having a field day. Seattle: A Gunman killed six young revellers at a 'Zombie Party' in a Seattle house yesterday and then shot himself in the head when confronted by police as he left the house, officials said. This is an extract from the Sydney Daily Telegraph (my favourite newspaper). This sort of happening would go un-noticed in the 'Good o'l US of A Tabloids, it would be far too common to raise public interest, if one failed to read about it; there would be a similar killing soon to follow within hours. However for Ozstrayer readers there is a full page to feast on. A local OZ shooter states that because 60% of murders in 2003-04 were bashings and stabbings, Knives are more dangerous than guns.(That is a load of codswallop). Perhaps the more logical interpretation is because most murders are not premeditated, the perpetrators simply had used what they had available, and because they were hard to get, guns were used less frequently...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have contributed with your comments. Ours is the age of substitutes; instead of language, we have jargon; instead of principles, slogans and perversions; and,instead of genuine ideas, Bright ideas. However your input is always welcome, and may I politely ask that you keep the smut to the minimum.

Rosemary purchased the usual tourist presents, Tea Towels, Caps and silly Fridge Magnets, all with differing motifs with reference to Tasmania, the traditional coming back from holiday presento for the relos, (all made in China). Apart from giving useful informative literature, I had the novel Idea of bringing back some real Tasmanian rock, not the seaside holiday rock candy with the name of the tourist town etched all the way through the stick of rock, but real unusually shaped smooth rocks, some of these weighing nearly a lb or 500 gr. the rocks were collected from near the shore; thirty in all, to say the least these would be the genuine article, these were placed in our car for the journey home to Sydney- 23.5 hours 1100 kilometers-680miles on the 23,000 ton ship 'Spirit of Tasmania 3'. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and travelled about 900 kls and stayed overnight in eight different towns, some of the roads were bad and some barely 25ft wide for eachway traffic. We hav...

NOT QUITE SETTLED IN, A FEW ODD JOBS TO DO. The next door neighbours are very quiet (aged) but are friendly. This house is totally fenced, after a bit of work the house now looks a bit more friendly, we have more space, no dog poo, no noisy rude brats and so far very few mosquitoes. the garden has a huge shed 12x36 ft, several small trees, including a lime, lemon, Frangipani, Magnolia. a gardener I am not; But we now have flowers. We have finaly found homes for our goods and chattles and our huge garage is soon to become housing for the cars, a trailer load of stuff was sent to a local charity, now that we have room to move Rosemary will be attending more car boot(trunk, USA)sales. I have sent by mail; several packages with info about Tasmania, only one left, the first person to E mail me their postal address outside of Australia will receive it free of charge. Some good news, during the past eight weeks I have lost Seven Kilos- 15 LBS in ancient terms. this has mainly resulted from me...

In recent months my wife and I have had our Idyllic lifestyle downgraded, To a 'We must move soon situation'. A lottery winning goof has moved in next door with umpteen kids from former relationships, two mangy dogs who poo in our garden plus a perpetually whining pregnant (wife?). Our other neighbors disregard any of our requests for them to remove dog poo from our property, this and other small irritating problems has prompted our moving to our new address two minutes walk away, a great position, two minutes to shops doctor dentist service station and of course the club and grog shop, our new shack is the largest in the avenue, 4bds 2bths rumpus lndr dble gar. Most of the packing will be finished before we return from holidaying in Tasmania and we move from here on Feb 8, I hope to be back on line by Feb 10, bye for now see you soon.

The Australian Prime Ministers brother Stan Howard, will be prosecuted for chopping down dozens of endangered trees. Stan Howard who owns two adjoining properties in Bowral in the Southern Highlands, faces a jail term or a hefty fine if found guilty of knowingly giving the chop to the threatened species on his Aus$6.2 million property. The caretaker of the property Rohan Corby was visited by a local Ranger after a tipoff, who discovered about 60 trees had been destroyed. Stan Howard it seems was dobbed in by a woman neighbour who had waited years for permission to cut down a small number of trees on her property she regarded a fire risk. Rohan Corby stated that the work carried out by a contractor was to lessen fire and snake risk and control the Rabbit population. Stan Howard told the ranger he thought the contractor knew that the work was legally carried out. 'This is not the case said the ranger' and the Australian Prime Minister's elder sibling was prosecuted and faces ...

Recently I have been deluged with email messages from the bible belt in the U S A, plus a few comments deriding the opinion of others regarding their stand on Godliness, whether they were into it or otherwise. In the washup it seems clear to me that the opinion( Mostly unqualified)becomes tainted, for example, When sordid wording is tolerated from the associates of a family oriented person and self confessed addict of the scriptures. This same person expounds the belief that using drugs with the consent of a parent who is also a user and quite frequently; so it seems, is quite acceptable by the creed of perfectionism. However, In the next breath of this holier than thou philistinic person, we have a tongue lashing brimstone and fire message from the anti alcohol brigade. How can this person or persons of this ilk be taken seriously. A situation occured when a third party prompted a person to remove the comment of another person, who also declared it unsuitable due to the persons low w...

An angry ex wife and her lover robbed 25 houses that were open for inspection to get even with her real estate ex hubby, Helen M 30 plus claims her bitter break up spurred her on to have revenge on realter Andrew J by nicking $110,000 bucks worth of Jewellery and loot from homes for sale in affluent suburbs, she told the judge she hated realtors as they were ripoff artists. It appears she left her Hubby for her internet blogging boy friend and partner in crime, an American who she told; her 10 year marriage was abusive and her hubby needed to be taught a lesson. Her ex explained that his ex wife Helen had an addiction to the internet and particularly to men on the Net and her American lover, Chris F 39, whom she met on line now faces deportation after pleading guilty to multiple fraud and theft charges. The now engaged couples lawyer told the court there was no motive of financial hardship. The court heard the thefts were carefully planned with Helen M using her knowledge of computers ...
