We have been assimilated. I’d been holding out hope, in vain I now realise, that we might be able to pass the Wiggles by. No such luck. We start each day now with stringent cries of "Wiggies!" from JFGP. It doesn’t matter that he can’t pronounce their name properly, it’s abundantly clear that he wants …

Tossing
"In fairness, he’s not the best of tossers". Possibly the best line in any sports report or column this week. For those who don’t want to click and read it’s Matthew Hoggard talking about Michael Vaughan’s prowess with a coin. And if you don’t know who they are then you can stop reading this blog. …
Upping the Ante
Obviously, if one is trying to increase one’s social cachet one needs to host sophiscated dinner parties. And nothing says "classy" and "sophiscated" like having Syd Little or Stan Boardman join your guests at the dinner table. Very reasonable rates too. Do you think they travel?
Educational Literature
It’s a bit late for me, but if anyone reading this is thinking of indulging in a little paternity in the near future (hint, hint) I’d recommend taking a look at this book. It’s called Fatherhood and is by a very funny chap called Marcus Berkmann. It may not improve your fathering skills but it …
Motto
It’s time I started to get a bit classier. Whilst it is hard to be more wonderful than I already am, I feel it’s my duty to raise the bar just a little bit higher. In the absence of talent or knowledge being that little bit classier will help on the road to fame and …
New Francis Dunnery Album
Happy happy, joy joy. The new Francis Dunnery album "The Gulley Flats Boys" is out. I’ve already ordered my copy and would like to make the bold prediction that it will make my top five (probably one) albums of the year. As I’ve said before the man is a genius. Go and take a listen. …
Superb
"let’s make a plea for greater intolerance (carefully directed) in the world." A marvelous piece in the Gruaniad, arguing that belief in what Cartman would call "hippy crap" is just a step too far. Oh, and it’s very funny to boot. You can take astrology, reflexology, iridology, and all of the other crackpot ologies and …
Photos Galore
I’ve just uploaded more photos than you can shake a stick at to flickr. For themed views try; Christmas and Boxing Day. New Year.
Woops
… we did it again. I’m pleased to announce that another member will be added to team Todd this year. We’ve just been for our twelve week check up and mother and baby are doing fine. Todd Too is due towards the end of July. Unlike last time you can expect plenty of slightly irrelevant …
The 10th Level of Hell
Dante, in his Inferno mentioned that hell had nine levels. I think I’ve found the tenth though. It’s the car park at Waringah Mall between Christmas and New Year. I’ve had the misfortune to go there twice this week in peak shopping hours and each time there hasn’t been a parking space to be had. …
