Observations
In the System
Date: February 20th, 2004 | 1 commentI’m officially in the system. It’s taken the best part of eight months, but I finally got my first telemarketing call last night. I don’t know where they got my number from, but I’m sure this will be the first of many. Let the tele-s [read more]
He cocked his leg!
Date: February 12th, 2004 | 2 comments He did it!!!
Yes, I’m talkin’ about me dog again… Dunno at what point in his socialisation with other male dogs ‘he got it’, but this morning, for the first time [at least that I’ve witnessed, and I don’t exactly go around watching him pee], he cocked his leg! Go son! He’s been ‘pissin’ like a [read more]
The Royal Exchange (RE) pub Brisbane
Date: January 2nd, 2004 | No CommentsThis after I took a stroll up the hill from Taringa towards Toowong.
The sun was blazing and I was just going out to stretch my legs. Getting to Toowong I passed a pub and gazing at the window I noticed it said ‘RE’. Oh my God, its the Royal Exchange Hotel, the place I last [read more]
The Invisible Man
Date: November 20th, 2003 | 4 comments After the nightclub incident involving my glasses and the dancefloor, I went down to the local shopping mall to scope out the scene on new lenses and potentially frames.
There’s 5 optometry stores in this mall and I worked my way through all of them. In all but the very last one, I was completely ignored [read more]
Bloody Bandits
Date: October 22nd, 2003 | 8 comments I was missing a bank statement so I called the bank for them to send me out a replacement.
The cost: $14
Fourteen bloody dollars for a piece of paper! No wonder Aussie banks make billions in profit each year. This is just r [read more]
Shark Attack!
Date: February 13th, 2004 | No Comments Well, sort of…
Man With Shark Attached to Leg Seeks Help
My question to the (now deceased) shark is, what the hell did you think you were going to do with it once you’d bitten it? Take it home to your mum? Show it to your mates?
Fair enough you had a crack at it, but let [read more]
Old Man
Date: January 15th, 2004 | 14 comments Happy Birthday Sean-abus! Welcome to the fogies set!
Have a cracking day and may catch you later for a celebratory ale or 31…< [read more]
Melbourne’s Brunswick Street
Date: December 7th, 2003 | 5 commentsI didn’t do much sightseeing while I was in Melbourne for a couple of days. Just met up with a couple of old, old friends. One from high school and another from my drunken days in merry England. But before I left I’d asked an acquaintance who had lived in Melbourne for a few years [read more]
Brisbane crooks are stupid
Date: October 24th, 2003 | 4 comments Anyone who is worried about crime in this city can take heart from the fact that there is evidence the violent criminals are incredibly stupid.
Student bashing another mistaken identity
This is the latest in a series of home invasion attacks where the victim wasn’t the intended target. In July a student had 3 fingers hacked off [read more]
Shush for Bush
Date: October 14th, 2003 | 3 commentsThe other week I was watching CNNNN, a comedy program that makes fun of news networks that are slaves to the corporate sponsors that employ them. It sounds lame and I always tell myself that I won’t watch it, but if I’m there and it’s on, I’ll watch it and usually get a few laughs [read more]
