Whinge:

The Rugby World Cup Final i wanted to see, but like many others felt might not occur, has come about. England Vs Australia. Swing Low Sweet Chariot vs Waltzing Matilda. Monarchy vs well still another Monarchy really. The foot of Little Johnny Wilkinson vs the entire Wallabies.

And i won't be able to watch it!

In my efforts to be altruistic I have managed to, figureatively speaking, shoot myself in the foot. How? By agreeing to stage manage the Awards Night of the The National Gospel Happening on the same night as the World Cup Final.

Only one solution can be found.

I'm going to kill myself.

Well it is the game the play in heaven.

Listen:
Who said the casio is dead? This track "The New Sound" by the Capricorns reminds me of stuff we used to torture out of an old casio keyboard that was maybe 30cm long.

Makes me giggle with glee for some reason.

Maybe cos electro-disco is comming back!

Thought:
I wonder what is going on in the world media at the moment. The Jessica Lynch thing seemed a beat up at the start that reminded me so intently of the film and novel Wag the Dog. Now her biography is out and there is mention of her being raped by Iraqi soldiers. Now the Iraqi doctors who treated her have spoken out about it saying it was not possible for her injuries were so severe she would have died if this was the case.

Tell you one thing though. This flurry of press a couple of days before the book comes out is certainly going to remind people of the event. Can you say 'marketing opportunity'?

listen:
The Cat Empire are a band from melbourne that have kicked around for a few years. There are nine in the band and they create this weird combination of folk, funk, gypsy, swing, hip hop and rock. Lots of fun and i can't wait to see them live.

From: The Sun

The hapless lads spend weeks battling to seduce a South American stunner in Sky One series There’s Something About Miriam.

The boys only discover the truth after Miriam picks the winner, then lifts her skirt to reveal a full set of wedding tackle.

One embarrassed contestant was so furious at the shock revelation that he PUNCHED the show’s producer.


It looks like a new low has been reached in reality TV

I've taken the old coat out of the cupboard and given it a thwacking with the bamboo to get the dust out.

Why?

Because there are new toys to play with.

Stand by for lift off.

So let us see how this is going to work.
