Okay well I'm off to Perth this weekend to catch up with the beautiful folk of WA – should be an absolute hoot. It sure has been every other time ! Whatever happens this weekend though, it'll take a fair bit to beat our attempt at a picnic on the banks of the Swan River…

After posting on here the other day, I thought to myself “I tend to use the Ellipsis quite a lot !”. For those not familiar with the Ellipsis, it is a punctuation character comprising three evenly spaced dots (full stops). It is used to indicate words being removed from a sentence, and I think I…

It's finally happened – Save Ferris t-shirt number 4 has bitten the big one. Whilst changing tshirts after this morning's inaugural bike ride to work (that's a whole different story, which I'm not recounting here on the grounds that it's too damn embarrassing !!), the neck/shoulder region of the shirt finally gave way. In fact,…

1. I'd never paid much attention to Tiny Teddies, but I could have sworn that they were always a pretty cheerful bunch. Bought some Pizza flavoured ones the other day – I know… it's wrong, isn't it ? Plenty of people whining about Tia Maria flavoured Tim Tams, but they're perfectly happy with SAVOURY flavoured…

Yikes, what an incredible weekend. If anyone sees my liver, tell it I want it to come back. Friday got of to a fairly non-auspicious start (and by “start”, I do of course mean the part of Friday that starts AFTER working hours…), when I received an email through my website from one of those…

Woo hoo! My new digital camera has arrived at last. It's a Ricoh Caplio G4, and it's dead sexy. One of the cool things about it is it has a Macro zoom function, so I can take photos like this: Just what the world's crying out for, eh ? I guess it'll get its first…

I don't mind living near a main road so much, and the variety of prangs we have at the intersection out the front makes life a little interesting (as do some of the fights between little Homee-G's in the McDonalds' carpark), but ever so often one gets sick of it… Last night we heard the…

Before I went the whole nine nerd yards and bought my own domain name, I was using a regular ISP email account… one which I've still got active, as it was on my business card when I went to the US back in 1996, and soforth. Lately I've been wondering just how much actual email…

Oh what a lovely time I had in Horsham !! :) For lack of a better place to begin, I'll start at the start ! We drove over Friday night to Mt Arapiles (for those who don't know what that is – think “The Surfer's Paradise of Rockclimbing”), and stayed in the Arapiles Hilton –…

I tell ya what, I love a good exploding whale story as much as the next guy, but this is truly something else ! Click Here to read about a dead whale that exploded whilst being transported through Tainan, Taiwan on the back of a truck. But I warn you, don't do it before a…
