Flemish Floozies & Belgian booze

2008-05-30T13:01:38Z

I'm not a great one for frequenting the ale houses of the Brisbane CBD after work, simply due to the distance I live from the city and the time it takes to get home in the evenings. I figure that leaving home at 7:15 in the morning and arriving ho...

Henson, and Muppets

2008-05-28T10:55:33Z

I've steered clear of the Bill Henson/pedophilia hysteria to date, simply because I'm not, or wasn't until last night, well enough acquainted with the man's work or artistic focus. Last night, the ABC acted in what I regard as the public intere...

Over The Horizon

2008-05-28T09:26:20Z

Nothing terribly important of social conscience or political polemic from me today. Something of a slightly more ethereal nature, albeit material at the same time. After a journey of 679 million kilometres, most of it in cyber-sleep, NASA's lat...

2008-05-25T09:24:18Z

Show us your favorite celebrity chef. Submitted by Connie. This woman simply oozes sexuality, has a body any man would just love to wrap himself in, and she cooks with a common-sense manner to produce the most delightful fare.

As I write this (type?) the annual thug-fest masquerading as sport is underway in Sydney. Yes, it's the rugby league State of Origami....oops, sorry.....Origin. Look, I used to take a lot of interest in rugby league, right up to some nine or ten ...

We Made It!

2008-05-20T11:14:28Z

KCRQ, or McClellan-Palomar Airport, thirty miles north of San Diego. 'DunnaRunna' made the trip from Hawaii, laden with her 320 extra gallons of avgas and some 460 kilos over-weight. The trip was a long one. Some 13 hours all together. I have to a...

QotD: Oh Sorry, Did I Offend You?

2008-05-16T11:53:22Z

Who was the last person you offended? Submitted by May. My wife. I'm always offending my wife. That's just me, I guess, and she is who she is, which is easily offended. I speak plainly, and more so the older I get. She doesn't like to hurt feeli...

2008-05-13T11:24:22Z

Just in case you're wondering what's happening in my "Running Away" fantasy flight from Australia, to my $3m island in the Caribbean, here's the latest. As you might recall, at last mention we were stranded on Frigate Shoals, awaiting a couple of...

French Frigate Shoals or 'How I fucked up another flight plan'

2008-05-05T08:01:57Z

Yes indeed, Vox'ers. A t least those of you following my fantasy journey from my hum-drum existence to one I'd much rather be enjoying. Money not withstanding. Last post, as you'll recall (Ye Gods....I sound like an episode of 'Lost In Space') I'...
