We all like to feel comfortable in our minority ghettos, well today I’m breaking out of mine and joining in the worldwide celebration of Left Handers Day. Yes, I’m left handed and I’m proud. I could quote all sorts of exciting statistics about being left handed, but I’m sure you’re not interested in the slightest. …

Music not to like
Here at Whats Doing I like to think that we worhsip in a fairly broad musical church, but I draw the line at anything that contains, and I quote – a suburban Gap-wearing white fratboy rapping in a bad Jamaican accent for four hours. Eww, unclean. Four hour drum solos on the other hand …
Great Moments in Rock
Number one in an occassional series. If you’re not the 70’s throwback you should probably stop reading now. It Bites, The Big Lad in the Windmill, I got you eating out of my hand (track 1), 3 minutes and 17 seconds into the track – "I’m in – the mood" Superb. Go and listen to …

Completely irrelevant I know, but is it only me who thinks it quite amusing that Sydney is currently suffering the arctic …
Quotations
Quote of the day from, well, me; "Remember, kwality is our watchword." Did you see what I did there? Oh, never mind, I’ll get back to work then.

He’s the Greatest
Its the end of an era today as Goughie has given up test cricket. The Gough-meister, the Gough-atolla, Dazzler, Goughie, he goes by many names but those of use who saw him get a hat trick at the SCG on the 2nd of January 1999 simply know him as the best cricketer in the world. …
Quotations
I swear, each of these have been said by a member of my family. Can you match the quote to the person? "Oh daddy, with those nipples you are spoiling me." "Will you listen to that symphony by trouser flute, its so catchy."
