The Daily Gaggle

YUK YUK. But it's true, Dogs are on the menu in TAIWAN and not just one type of dog, but any breed. This practice of rustling and eating your neighbours best friend is not new, but some unwary tourists found out too late that, the bone they were eating the meat from; that which they would normally give to Rover, was none other than Rover himself. I have put together a possible Menu which could be encountered should you visit Taiwan (formerly Formosa)and be game enough to shake a canny chopstick or two at the curious canine cuisine, slobber yer chops on this lot, if you are barking mad. THE MENU Poached poodle with braised Boxer, Entree Sweet& sour Samoyed. Curried Corgi in Royal Jelly, Entree Bitches tits with paw paw gravy. Scotch Terrier in teriyaki sauce, entree Puree of Flench flied fleas. Bow Wow Sum Chow, Entree Pekingese and Duck soup. Bistro Menu The following served with Vegetables or choice of salads. Chihu...

What happened to the slogan 'Kiss a non smoker and taste the difference'? Did the tobacco companies buy the copyright and ban its publication? if so what about having a new slogan! But remember the kids will have to see it too. My partner and I are non smokers and only experience this dreadful problem at alcohol pumped up parties and other social gatherings. What have you experienced when kissing a tobacco smoker? be careful now. What are your thoughts on tobacco usage in general? like ban Smokes, ration them or tax them out of reach of people, or should we wear a non smokers badge which states, "Blow that smoke in my face and you will die you bastard" Remember you dopey smokers, It will reduce your shagging days considerably and each smoke an hour of your life. Maybe smokers should be fitted with smoke stacks!! THAT WAS A RE RUN OF A PREVIOUS POST. ADD: My two local social clubs which are in a medium size category, segregate smoking areas, however, the gaming areas a...

If increasing numbers of children are too fat; and they are; the casual factors are over eating and parking their butts for lengthy periods-the sedentary nature of modern times. This is the astounding conclusion in the latest research study into the phenomenon of chilhood obesity. It turns out that if a child is overweight it may have something to do with the fact that the child eats too much, and doesn't do enough exercise. WELL, FANCY THAT. What a load of old cods wallop. As if a govt sponsored research team would be needed to discover the self-evident truth. As their appetites for grease-burgers and computer games increase, so do their shirt sizes. To correct this ongoing problem, A mandatory 15 minute exercise period twice per school day and sensible eating would go a long way in correcting this problem. School canteens and tuck-shops will soon ban the sale of sugary soft drinks and junk foods. I say, the responsibility lies with the childrens parents, not by a government rul...

Hopefully this will be a temporary measure I am using to combat a serious threat of profanity spreading to this site. I shall be away until Monday May 29, down the south coast of NSW OZ STRAYER on a family visit, will visit you all on my return, take care, vest. L Y A.

ONE DEAD IN COUNTRY WIDE FIGHTS NIGHT A man was killed and scores of others injured during Booze fuelled punch-ups among club and pub crowds Ogling the'Tony Mundine V Danny Green' Boxing fiasco this Tuesday May 16. Hundreds of drinkers were involved nationwide. Perth, Western Australia's Capitol, and the home town of the fight Loser; Danny Green, hosted the worst Fracas,during which a 45 year old guy was pronounced dead after being punched. A 29 year old Perth man has been charged with homicide, more than a hundred arrests have been made over these incidents. I SAY, Ban this degrading so called sport world wide, it only gives pleasure to the Looney would be bullies and drunken dead beat fringe dwellers, who in turn line the pockets of the colorful bookmaker identities. And while my ire is up; I would suggest that, the next stupid Quadriplegic producing sport to face bans should be Rugby League Football, Which I Dislike Intensely with a passion. Tony Mundine is a product of...

One of my favorite TV fishing Programme's is hosted by REX HUNT A Millionaire fishing guru, has told his wife his last outstretched arm 'As big as that' fib. It seems that randy Rex has been shopping for maids, when he told his nearest and dearest, he hoped one time out he may hook a mermaid. Rex has confessed to several encounters with women over the past 15 years of whom he described as being persons in desperate need for financial assistance, and he himself desperate for physical contact. On one occasion Rex paid AU$50,000, to silence one woman. Rex Hunt 57, has denied that the women were prostitutes, although he paid them about AU$1,000 each time for a slice of the action. Saint Rex The Sanctimonious fisher of Women, has often preached on the virtues of marriage and fidelity, say's, "I am deeply ashamed and sorry. Fortunately his darling wife of 34 years has forgiven him. He say's he has been a bad person. My wife is the most beautiful person, I'll no...

I join with all Aussies in wishing all Mothers well, today mothers day. However, lets not stuff up the day by giving mum eggs and bacon for brekky or roast pork for lunch. Most of our bacon ham and pork comes from factory farms. In these factories, pregnant pigs are kept in tiny cages called 'Sow Stalls', where they are hardly able to move. Before giving birth they are moved to an even smaller pen called a farrowing crate where, after the birth, they are unable to nurture the newborn piglets. The Mothers worth is guaged by how many piglets she can produce each litter and then how quickly she can be made pregnant again. In Australia there are close to 300,000 of these highly sensitive Mothers spending this Mothers day and every crackling munching day in 'Inescapable Misery'. Have a dekko at savebabe.com

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND: A 31 year old man with no arms has appeared in court charged with dangerous driving after police stopped him driving with his feet at high speed. Police claim Colin Raymond Smith was doing 121km/ph(75 mph)- 21km over the limit - while using one foot to steer from his reclined seat and the other to control the brake and accelerator. Smith, who had two passegers in the car, told an officer he was born without arms, had never had a drivers licence and had been driving with his feet for years.

Because the driver who hit Sophie Delezio is elderly, there are now calls for drivers over 75 to be tested annually as to their suitability to drive. My greatest fear on the roads is from young female provisional licence drivers in small cars. If they ever knew the rules of the road, they have either forgotten them or believe that they don't apply to them. That two horrendous recent road accidents have involved elderly drivers does make a case for reviewing the driving skills of those aged 75 and above. One of these accidents occured on a pedestrian crossing where more than 20 accidents have been reported in the past two years, so it would be rash to pass judgement on the strength of such minimal evidence, It would be more to the point comparing the percentage of driving offences by the elderly with those by drivers in different age categories and the host of differing situations and circumstances, such as,Ages,Sex, Alcohol?, social background, time and degree of seriousness. The...

After my seven hour repose from four something this morning,I was confronted with more bad news.If anyone reading this who has a malady of sorts which could be worse than that of Little Sophie's; Bless you too. It would be best for you to read about this yourselves. Type into Google, 'SOPHIE DELEZIO HIT BY CAR IN SYDNEY'. This will give you the complete story, PLEASE READ IT and simply say that you have read it.

Once you have the cap and gown all you need to do is open your mouth. Whatever nonsense you talk becomes wisdom and all the rubbish good sense.

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.

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...
