August 29, 00. Impress your mates with your impression of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Listening to this made me realise how much Skippy was the Australian version of Lassie. "What's that Skippy? Little Timmy's stuck down a wombat hole?"
August 24, 00. If your name is Wade, you're probably a loser. You might even write books for other losers.
August 22, 00. Got religion? For those special moments.
August 21, 00. The power of the whinge! I hadn't been to the Trading-post.com.au site for Melbourne recently, so when I saw that it now had a lovely message saying "You need at least Netscape Navigator version 4.5 or Microsoft Explorer 4 with SP 1", and it was as slow as a salted slug, I sent them a grumpy old lady email saying 'fine, I'll take my business elsewhere'.
[This is where things get non-ranty, so look away if you only like Grumpy Mia]. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a reply today - looks like reason (or commercial sensibilities) won the day:
Hi
Thank you for your feedback.
We have just upgraded our Navigation System so you can use any browser, we should be deploying this Wednesday.
Hopefully this helps, but if you have any other questions, please let us know.
Kind Regards.
In other news, DejaVu.org is really cute.
Raiding the collection: Homoerotic digger fun in WWI! Kinky ANZACs at play. Rachp, don't look at this link: oil drinking spiders.
August 16, 00. This guy's resume whets my whimsy. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's the 'Extension Outreach' bit that did it - I too work in 'Outreach', but I'll never be as groovy as an 'Extension Vegetable Specialist'. Note their mail server.
August 14, 00. Bardot are playing at Festival Hall. Remember them? Does anyone really care enough to pay $48.95 a ticket?
I really shouldn't do this, but I can't resist. You have to see this genuine white trash: "but we call him Bubba...". Yeah, I'm mean, but anyone who calls their child Bubba is asking for trouble. You might as well just tattoo 'dumb hick' on their forehead and offer to cater their wedding to their sister.
August 11, 00. I'm really slack. Maybe I just don't have the energy to whinge anymore. Go read stuff about me in Turkey instead.
August 4, 00. The dangers of not drinking or smoking are sometimes underrated. Just look at this obviously pregnant girl who seems to have spent the time she would otherwise have been drinking or smoking picking up boys and taking them home for some hot cartoon action.
