barack obama

I don’t know if you’ve been following the election in the good ol’ USA lately. I’ve been trying to avoid it, but keep catching glimpses of news stories out of the corner of my eye, so to speak.
There seems to be the normal bunch of nutters and/or born to rule types. There’s a Clinton on [...]

fags

Some of you may have read the title of today’s post and thought “oh-oh. JH has lost it - he’s going off on some sort of homophobic rant, Andrew Bolt-style”.
Others may have thought “oh good. A post about lollies of yesteryear”.
Both camps are sadly wide of the mark. It’s about cigarettes.
Way back when, [...]

would you buy a ticket from these people?

I see our new whiz-bang high-tech “smart” ticketing system has been pushed back yet again. Now it looks like it’ll be 2012 before we see any movement.
Jaysus Christ! I reckon I could go to Ticket System Uni, get myself a PhD in Ticket Systems, design a system from scratch AND install the thing personally in [...]

fraternising with the troops and a virtual run

I’m a bit confused about this:

Apparently, that photo is something like a “before” picture. What, allegedly, happened after this was taken is that one of the people in the foreground had some sort of minor orgy with a bunch of people in the background.
This is a scandal, apparently.
I’m not overly upset. Hey, soldiering must be [...]

an actual run

It wasn’t pretty, in fact it didn’t even have a nice personality, but it was a run. It was 12 point something or other kilometres this lunch-time.
I started at work, shot up through the Exhibition gardens, jumped puddles of latte-types oozing out of cafes in Carlton before ending up semi-vertically at Princess Park. Two laps [...]

more stupidity

I think it’s fair to say my cardigan’s online debut yesterday was something of a success. That’s my story and I intend to stick to it.
The most positive comment came, worryingly, from Stumac:
You’re so right…
From Andrew.
Choc full of animal magnetism and rugged good looks
Em gave it 8/10 and Morsey said:
I think you can wear the [...]

back to the tan

What with one thing or another (reproducing, being 30km away) it’s been some time since I sampled the delights of Melbourne’s running mecca AKA “the tan”. Well, I got out there today, and lo and behold it’s no longer tan!
Well, some of it is, but great swathes of the place, down by the yarra, have [...]

beki’s musically challenged

If you are just starting out on a career in the blogging world, head this piece of advice: never blog drunk. God knows what might happen.
The odd thing about yesterday’s post is the absolute and complete lack of alcohol or any other stimulant. I was sober, stone-cold stober.
Odd.
Moving on….
Beki’s musical challenge
A couple of days [...]
