This
site has been "unupdated" for some time...
The
reason is that the maintenance on this site is now shocking
and I have not got the time to put into all the little details
required...
Therefore,
for the coming new year, my thoughts will be posted on http://www.clayinfinity.blogspot.com
Feel
free to check it out!
See
ya on the "other side"

I
think I have found one of the funniest links ever... and given
it's about our "Man of Steel" Johnny Howard, then it
earns double points from me! Make sure you check out the
"Ask John" section! [link]
The
Rugby World Cup yawns on... I have really enjoyed the
atmosphere at the games but really, we need more competitive
games. I think the average winning margin over the 36
games played to date is in the 30's... way too one sided.
And
Bigpond has not fixed itself yet... get ya fingers out!

It
has been a long time between updates... and you can thank Mr
Bigpond for that! Telstra's Bigpond (my service
provider) has been down more often than not and whenever I log
on to update this site, it just happens to be down. Also
it is taking about 10 days for emails to get to me and their
concession is two weeks of free access and also a free trial
subscription to their anti-virus and firewall software.
In 30 days, those that don't disconnect the trial start
getting billed for this "service". Cheers
Telstra!
But
really, the biggest thing to happen to us humble Australians,
"Sheriffs of Asia" that we are is our good mate,
George W Bush popped in for a quick visit (21 hrs in a country
our size is quick). What did I make of all the
"free speech" that was going on? [rant]

Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger... Sure I can understand the Americans
going nuts for this story given that they have just elected
the second biggest idiot in history (George W Bush being the
biggest), but can I ask why it attracted so much press here in
Australia? Other than for voyeuristic reasons can
I fathom why the front pages of our papers had the story...
does the LA newspapers go ape for when Bobby Carr wins the NSW
State election?
Also,
I had the pleasure of going to the Rugby World Cup Opening
Ceremony (and match). For the rest of the 81,349 people
in attendance, the ceremony was designed for a world wide
audience of several hundred million people on TV. The
fact that a) you couldn't see it properly and b) couldn't
understand it with the absence of TV commentary is because it
wasn't designed for you. You idiots who jumped on to
talk back radio 20mins after the end of the match to complain
about it should be ashamed.

I
cannot believe that Israeli planes have attacked targets in
Syria? What are these guys doing??!! Whilst I
don't condone Suicide Bombing, it has to be said that there
are two sides to every story. The US has alot to answer
for now as the Israeli's think they too can take
"pre-emptive" action against Terrorists... I am now
worried how this one will pan out.
On
a lighter note, the Penrith
Panthers are the 2003 NRL
Premiers. Congrats to them, but I am happier that the Sydney
Roosters lost. The Roosters have done themselves no
favours this year by whinging and whining about every little
thing this season and given that all League fans where
cheering on the Panthers tells alot about what the public
thinks of the Roosters and their coach Ricky Stuart!
Sucked in!!
Water
restrictions working a treat - we've had virtually 5 days of
consecutive rain. I've had no inclination to go near my
garden hose! :)

I'm
back...
Isn't
funny how after the driest September in years and on the day
that water restrictions start in NSW that it absolutely
buckets down with rain! Now that's irony!
Whilst
I was enjoying my sojourn on the NSW Central Coast (just
before it bucketed down), I happened to read that our esteemed
Treasurer Peter "the Smarmy Grinner" Costello has
released a boon for the average tax payer with a final 2003/04
budget surplus of $7.5Bn. What do I think of that?
