The Joker is Me April 19, 2009

Yes I know this is one of those hopeless youtube outings that’s a montage of images. But my interest here is the song, which most of us will recognise as the theme song used for Kath and Kim. With my manuscript coming back to check last night I now have a copyright problem if I […]

The great eisteddfod madrigal controversy of 2009 April 12, 2009

Always fascinating at Eisteddfods (Queensland or otherwise) is how people interpret set pieces.

I stepped in a puddle April 6, 2009

Only managed 20 minutes of Loserville last night before I had to RUN out the door to choir. But it was long enough to see ANDREW voted off the Island and put his fire OUT. He is clearly the WEAKEST LINK and the TRIBE has spoken. Loudly! So that means at this very moment he […]
