I just gunna go sit on that porch yonder and play me banjo.

No this isn't about a little bit of special time with one's self. This is about this hyped up super-charged world that are all now living in! Got a sore throat? Dont put up with that! Get down to the doctors right away and get some pills to sort it out. Do you have a sudden need to see a monkey riding a unicycle? Get on Youtube. Suddenly need to know the population of Uruguay? Click click done. Need to buy a fridge at two o clock in the morning? Jump on Ebay, click click done..... Unfortunately not everything works this way. The wheels in some industries turn much slower. Some pe

Naisu badee Naisu Assu I object. I don't think you should've displayed this photo

A Country Practise??? Does anyone in the UK get Bondi Rescue yet? It's a show about the Bondi beach surf rescue crew. Bondi, for those that don't know, is a busy Sydney city beach. It's astounding how many rescues they do. Sometimes 30 a day. Mostly asians and middle eastern people also a lot of backpackers. Some of them would have surely died without help. There's lots of buffed boys and girls running around in swimwear, lots of city freaks and the odd shark. I thought it might be a ratings winner in the UK.

i've never watched it. i didn't even know it was still on.

Hang on. Are you talking about Japan or the UK?

You can always tell when politition is lying. You can see his mouth moving. Bom bom

and quite a broad range of drugs at that, including alcohol.

...and you kow this because there's no blue lights in the toilet? No. just kidding. I believe you.

Very simple. Who said there were no Junkies?

It doesn't necessarily mean that we have more Junkies down here than other places. It just means that business owners are doing more to discourage people from shooting up in THEIR toilets. You would be naive to think that it doesn't go on just because there's no blue light. But yes, very sad.

It's not fair for ME to say.

That's what I said

It's representative of your experience, which is probably representative of mine also, but you and I haven't met all 1.2 billion of them so it's not fair to say. The thing with the little girl goes way beyond manners and decency. It's fundamental compassion and concern for another human in distress , a small defenseless child at that! Neanderthals wouldn't even do this. It's hard to imagine that 18 of the lowest moral decency citizens of China, by coincidence, just happened to be in that one place at the same time.

and if it didn't become an international news story it would be back to 'who gives a @#$%'

Just started Water for Elephants.

I can. I've seen it myself. I once found a guy lying in the middle of the road with bad head injuries. i ran back to a doctors surgery just 200m away to get help and he told me to go away and stop bothering him. This didn't happen in China but I think it a typical third world trait. Life is cheap and no one really gives a @#$% about anyone else in these places.

I enjoyed it too Stemik. Very close game. France answered a lot of their critics (including me) by showing that they deserved to be in the final. So this is how they finished. 1-New Zealand 2-France 3-Australia 4-Wales

Beware the yellow peril

New Zealand won. Whoo hooo ! If anyones still interested.

Casey Stoner has a holiday house around the corner from me. He comes every now and then and loves to go fishing. Just thought I'd mention that.

It was really disappointing to see them opt for a penalty goal when they were 25 meters out and 8 points down.

Aussies out! Completely out classed by New Zealand. Well, I wasn't too far off the money with my initial prediction of an Aussie vs NZ final. Defeating France will be just a formality for the Kiwis. On a much more important note. Two hours earlier Australia beat New Zealand 46-6 in the rugby league test.

Bad luck Wales. Too many missed goals. You gotta feel for them when it misses by a few inches.

Oh well, there's always the glory of 03. Are the street parades still going on for that?
