      Well for starters the 'Best Team' in the competition lost to a constantly chopping and  changing team of  failures. The Australian side without David Warner were a team of wankers suffering from pontingitus. "Well done Sri Lanka" You beat the Oz team four games to two  and still lost the  series;" doesn't make sense to most intelligent people, mind you the Aussies always have some form of skulduggery at hand  to twist the game in their favour and save face, can't have any more Kim Hughes Crying when losing saga's, or Bob Hawk spewing in his beer when crying "You are not allowed to beat Strayer, it just aint dinkum".     It makes me wonder how some of crickets renowned bowlers live their lives off  the playing field, although it is a known fact that one Australian nasty specimen has a record of domestic failure, the unnecessary antics  of these blokes would allow a trickcycalist to rapidly analyse the men...

Basa fresh water fish fillets??? Not quite, More like Mekong river Sewer dwellers. Every year Australians eat around 13 kilograms of fish per person. And if health authorities had their way, we'd be eating even more. But in the face of that increasing demand, the local fishing industry is facing declining stocks and fewer licences, meaning we have to get used to having less home grown fish. Consequently, in recent years, the relatively cheap Vietnamese or Mekong catfish has made huge inroads into our market. Not that most consumers would know. Lax naming laws mean the imported fish is often sold under more familiar, local sounding names. Of particular concern is the fact that some of this fish has been found to contain traces of a suspected carcinogen. The same problems have occurred in and around Sydney Australia and bans were imposed on recreational and commercial fishing some year ago. yet the govt is allowing this suspect fish to be imported with impunity because of its weak ...

Are there any Cat owners out there who may have witnessed their pet pussy knocking back a feed of Sardines?..... The answer  in all probability would be a definite "NO" However, I have a sneaky feeling there are cat owners out there who have experienced this phenomena and are too busy to complain. although I myself have experienced this on three occasions and am in the process of complaining in order that this doesn't happen again. So on behalf of our Cat 'Tiddles' Also a moggie over the fence and 'Big  Barney' the black and white pawed  puddy tat who lives 100 metres from Coles Budgewoi and visits us regularly some distance away from home , they have this to say. the following brands of cat food that taste like s#((*e.

.           Although comments on this blog have been a bit sparse of late, relatives and friends have been in the minority this year. Those in Australia have contributed the most although fewer than the previous annual average. However, comments from the U/K are dead on average for the year -  absolutely sod all !! It seems that the citizens of Great Britain are becoming bored with the latest and cheapest form of communication, which is following the rapid demise of U/K Post Office communication. Nevertheless, the birthday and yuletide greetings are still holding firm, but in some cases one does not know that the recipient of your greeting card is still incumbent. An absent or un reciprocated greeting can ring alarm bells which means in most cases the person incommunicado has a hole in his or her marble bag or has fallen from the perch, this scenario usually applies to aged persons. Those below three score and ten, the younger ...

Tomorrow will be the last day of the Australian summer or what was supposed to be. Today where I am in Budgewoi 100 Klms up from Sydney the temp is not likely to get past 25 C with an overcast sky and s/w cooling breeze.Sydney and most other parts of coastal NSW has had it wettest summer in four years and the coolest in 15 years Only one day back in December,where the temperature topped 30C. Further out in the Sydney western suburbs and also cities both to the north and south, have experienced their coolest summer for forty years. And there is no silver lining..... The Bureau of meteorology has forecast rain for the next seven days for Sydney, while other parts of the state are bracing for downpours. Stopping a city generally requires a series of events, each building on the other until gridlock is achieved. Add a solitary stalled car to the equation and, as we have again been reminded, all bets  - and meetings and flights and job interviews are - off. ...

Today Sun Feb 12 will be a hot one similar to that in 1945 when the ship I was serving on arrived for the first time in Sydney. Sun 11, we had partly circumnavigated Australia to reach Sydney  from the now totally destroyed Jap controlled oil industry in Sumatra (Indonesia). The British Pacific fleet had suffered a great deal during these operations, some bad mistakes coupled with  unnecessary death and destruction and the real loss of around forty Aircraft, some crew members rescued from the sea others captured after bailing out in Jap territory  nine in all aged 19-22 beheaded soon after. To our crew Sydney was a heaven , the ice cream van came back several times to cope with the demand of those who hadn't seen such a luxury for over five years.The sailors from the Brit Pacific fleet walked into town across the Sydney domain their white hats covered in flies; this was pre Mortein fly spray years, a parody "With your Easter Bonnet and all the flies upon it" was the...

The worlds largest boring online social network and generator of  masses of recorded criminal activity, unveiled more than sixty new Apps this week. Face book is adding a bunch of new applications to let users share everything from pics of what they are wearing or not and what  they cooked for lunch. Face book allows users to share the music they are listening to through Apps such as spotify, and the articles they are reading through other news services. Face book is calling it 'Frictionless sharing'. Once signed up you can limit who you share this new activity with through Face book. I am thinking the term 'f'rictionless' could mean 'No orgasmic interaction' Imagination is the eye of the soul ....Vest.........Back soon

Why do we have such easy access for  criminal's to hide their real identities? We are able to change our names so easily in Australia and eventually build a glossary of names to be used for all means of skulduggery, instead of its original purpose like necessary  judicial reasons and protection from former adversaries.. Page 2, Sydney Daily Telegraph Feb 1, shows pic of former business  associates of mine, Bob and Jean Furlong, Whose son was murdered in 2002 by Michael Sorrell, I'll spare you the sordid details ***, however, Michael Sorrell now AKA  Michael Striker a paranoid schizophrenic, is awaiting  possible release from a secure mental institution. I suppose in reality there are many individuals  cavorting around using false  identities., even I have a business AKA and don't most of us have a peculiar blog monica too.

     Having lived a full and  well traveled life prior to newscasts and the Internet taking over my brain several years back in the typewriter years, I had the option of referring to my journals for past cloudy info or my noddle which I sometimes used for confirmation. Birthdays important events and places I had visited at the time of important happenings in our world, provided me with answers otherwise would have been forgotten forever. Although the Internet has not taken over my brain in its entirety being most of my marbles are functioning loud and clear, the lack of hands on travel and general gadding about has me reliant on mostly second hand Info to peck at. My trip to Tassie and travelling to Europe a couple of times in a metamorphic trance to revisit old friends and  rello's and recollecting my long  past indelible childhood have been rewarding to me personally but did not impact on my mind as memories of some of the worlds...

For those resident in the USA and U/K the OZ Woolworth stores have no connection with F W Woolworth.where you are. Yes a full page advert in the DailyTelegraph both Sunday And Monday, providing a coupon which the slick woolies marketeers would give you ten dollars off the price of any fresh leg of lamb from their butchery departments in the Sydney regions. For those people with oodles of loose change  with little shopping acumen, you will be confused and remark so what, however those with fewer shekels  for food with which to fill the tummies of their  hungry tribe will question this and bring the slide rules and abacus into play. Note the average price for a leg of lamb family size meaning enough for six grown ups with some left over for supper also the dog and the cat, would last week cost $24-00 for a smaller leg at $ 12-00 per Kilo. These smaller legs have had slices removed from the thick end  which the butcher flogs at $16 -00 a kilo. On arri...

After a series of health probes check ups diagnostic searches and other gratifying statements indicating I should retain my Christmas card list for at least one more occasion the trepidation of extinction gives way to a feeling of exhilaration instead of looking into winding up  and getting things into order prior to an expected date of departure. It has been suggested I retire from blogging;  get off my ass and think more in terms of doing something more useful for myself and others around me. but what I ask, I believe I have just about done most things a lot of people haven't done , what more do you want? There are hundreds of bloggers who I have called on and  have retired since my late arrival on the blogging scene seven years ago, leaving only the stalwarts to plod on to face up to the opposition of the devious antics of Face book and the likes of  other intrusive numbskull's. Logging off could be the best way to face up to life. One quick...

HARARE Zimbabwe. Formerly Salisbury Southern Rhodesia. This former prosperous country once  controlled by a minority hard working white farming community, and now constantly raped and pillaged and slowly bleeding to death under the leadership of the Black Fella and complete looney Bob the the despot MUGABE, has another major headache with the news that Bob  Mugabe is a sexual deviate. President Robert Mugabe had sex with another politician ( One Polly telling another Polly to get f#!*ed is common place) however getting caught on the job and exposing oneself to the community can be career destroying. A Zimbabwean MP has been held in custody after saying Pres Bob Mugabe had gay sex with another MP, state media reports. ***Mugabe is believed to have said Homosexuals are worse than pigs and dogs. *** This is not my personal view. However, Stringing him up by his testimonials might clear the way for a more stable administration. Any suggestions how to st...

It is probably because you could not afford  to protect  your payments with sickness insurance. or your fees at the non govt school have arrived, or maybe a vet bill for treating your great Dane and poodle for distemper has arrived on the mat, or the worst scenario the Xmas credit card bill has arrived with the electric bill which had a boost to it on this occasion because of the greedy air-conditioner keeping your freeloading Christmas guests cool, and to top it all  the children -all four have intestinal worms from handling the flea ridden bum licking dogs, which are the cause of most family strife and unnecessary expense than any thing else. Mans best friend could actually be his worst enemy, with the average bow wow creating 1200 arguments during its average life span of twelve years, that is two serious arguments each week but does not include the minor spats, major upsets include the responsibility of whose  turn it is to walk the dog, or feeding the...

CHAPTER 13 My First Career On 5 January 1942, I went to Shotley Royal Naval Base for a medical examination, which I passed despite being under the height requirement of five feet. I was four feet ten and a half inches, six stone six lbs (42.3 kg), and fifteen years, five months and twenty days old. I was an under-sized, under-aged piece of .cannon fodder.. The school received a twenty-five pound Sterling bounty payment upon my delivery to the Royal Navy. My body was sold for approximately 55p or Aus $1-15 a Kilo or 30 cents U/S per lb. My School the 'Watts Naval Training School'  A Branch of Barnardo's, supplied the Royal Navy each year with approx fifty children aged fifteen years plus. Frequently war news would arrive at the school  concerning the death of yet another old boy, the list was long but less than the real figures. After a gruelling train journey to Fleetwood (near Liverpool,) I embarked in the early morning on the Isle of Man ...

There must be people out there that would make our long time acquaintance pale into insignificance. However, Rosemary my wife and I have been known to each other sixty years and married 58.5 years with approx five years of separation in several segments during my naval career.

Fact or Myth? You Should Never Eat Tomatoes Stored in Can Only forward this to your friends. The problem with canned tomatoes is the cans themselves, which are lined with a resin that contains the synthetic estrogen bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA canned foods has been conclusively linked to a disturbing array of serious health problems that include: • Heart disease • Cancer • Diabetes • Reproductive and sexual problems • Obesity • Cognitive and developmental problems There already severe dangers of BPA canned foods are further multiplied when combined with tomatoes. That’s because tomatoes are acidic, and the acid breaks down BPA. Once broken down, BPA leaches out of the lining of cans and into your food — in health-harming amounts. According to Fredrick vom Saal, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A, “You can get 50 mcg of BCA per liter out of a tomato can, and that’s a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young.” The National Toxi...
