For Those Keeping Score At Home
"SYDNEY started the new year with a near-record January temperature, 44.2 degrees, as soaring heat and strong wind fanned bushfires. The mercury at Sydney's official weather station at Observatory Hill stopped rising at 4.24pm just short of the previous record, 45.3 degrees, registered on January 14, 1939." - Daily Telegraph ( Read more... ) -
A Trendy Entery
Tom Cruise bashing seems to be very "in" this year. It's quite obvious why, and his antics have provided some of the comedic highlights of the year 2005. However his speedy self-destruction wasn't the first time ol' Tom had me reaching for the tissues to wipe the tears from my eyes. For that we would have to head back to 2003 while Tom was ( Read more... ) -
Everyone Else Is Doing It, So Why Shouldn't I?

Success! (Only lasts you half an hour, oh yes, but it loves you when it comes)

Granted this required some "massaging" of the pre-sale system, but really the sport of Ticketing is a win-at-all-costs endevour. As with all sports talent, ( Read more... ) -
Victory For the Black Caps
I'm interrupting The Final CC, because I haven't had enough time to tie it together.
Flem & The Boys tied up another tournament victory! Nath scored his 15th ton, making a fairly good claim to being the greatest ODI batsmen New Zealand has ever seen - he also continued his unattested record of scoring a century in each calander year since 1995! ( Read more... ) -
Why I Love Australia (with 99% less sarcasm!)
I have noticed an appauling amount of Anti-Australian sentiment within my journal recently. Which is fine and most of it is fair, however I don't want to give anyone any negative impressions, everyone should make up their own minds about this convict colony. I have shown you the bad and the ugly.... now its time for the good.

A Handful Of Memories...
As promised, a half-dozen pictures from Saturday Night. I really did forget about it, so there arent any pics of Joe's swandive or the like, I was a bit preoccupied.
