the mind boggles how a sheep can sell for USD 490K anytime let alone in this climate of uncertainty!

The only reason people spend that kind of money is because they expect to make a lot more. Stupidity and greed go hand in hand.

It's getting more ridiculous every day. Now you can't wear your hair the way you want to. One minute it's 'embrace diversity' and the next it's 'stop copying us'. Common sense has long left the planet. And it ain't coming back boys and girls. We're on a highway to nowhere.

I use Yahoo UK to check the news but lately it's nothing but celebrity gossip. So and so is on holiday and she took a picture of herself on the beach and 'the internet melted'. Or Johnny Jilted has just got married for the 20th time to his girlfriend of 20 minutes. Can't we get some real news for a change instead of these vacuous idiots. Got to find a different news feed. Can't keep being inundated with celebrity gossip. And as for those self-absorbed Kardashians - they just need to go away. God they are tiresome. And this trend of charging gullible people ridiculous amounts of money for 'personalised' messages and texts is a disgrace. And do we really need to know what is going to happen next on Constipation Street, Fart City, Enemadale or Rear Enders. TV's not much better either. Constant brainless game shows, reruns of reruns, mindless overhyped advertising extolling the virtues of a new vacuum cleaner for 40 minutes and TV shows about people watching TV shows. The fabric of society is becoming pretty dumbed down. Right, now I have finished ranting. I feel much better now...

just heard this one on the radio in the car.
first time ive heard in many years and im thinking...nothing has changed since it was released in 1983, thats pretty darn sad.


I rolled out this morning
Kids had the mornin' news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy.


There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today.

I'll come home this evenin'
I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me.

Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down

Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

bit of an Outlaw Bikie Gang war happening on the streets of Sydney at the moment,
had 29 tit-for-tat shootings since the beginning of August.

as long as they kill eachother i dont care, its if and when innocent bystanders get hurt that it really becomes a problem
and thankfully out here there is rarely collateral damage with their turf wars.
