S.A.R.S
OK, firstly it's a new virus that is similar to deadly flu. I only say this because I have spoken to a few people lately and they have know idea about it... Cave dwellers!
Anyways, at first I was actually quite scared about the thought of a newly discovered killer virus. Something I heard the other day put my mind into a different state. Around 3,500 people have died so far from S.A.R.S. But more than double this figure die from the flu in this country each year... so now I'm more worried about the flu!!

Another annoyance...

I know the list of things that bug me seem to grow greater daily, but i'm honestly not a moaning old man. Here's my latest thing, Flip flops or more specifically any footwear that makes that annoying noise when the footwear owner walks. On the scale of things it's pretty low down my list and I will admit being very fussy about footwear but come one doesn't the 'flip flop flip flop...' really make you grate your teeth?

About time!

Im an uncle! yay... After just over 5 years of making my brother and sisters, uncle and aunt's respectively, it's finally my turn. 10 days ago ( yes i know maybe i should have wrote this then ) my little brother and his girlfriend had a baby girl, add that to the 3 she has and thats one big family! Rather my brother than me... my one son wears me out in seconds.
Well congrats go to my Bro. and his family.....

Something else i found today, someone with this same thoughts.

'For the Greater Good

Something dangerous has happened. I've been thinking.

In an increasingly secularised and multicultural society, public holidays based upon Christian celebrations are highly discriminatory or totally inadequate. There are a few answers to this conundrum, and I think I've got one that would very much please the Australian public, and I assure you that it will be the first measure I implement if elected.

Solution 1.
Ban all religious public holidays. This proposal, although it ends favouritism towards Christians, is highly discriminatory to the lazy and slothful, an increasingly important demographic in Australian society. Therefore we turn to:

Solution 2.
There are two grounds of justification for this, but the result is the same.

i)Why are Christians allowed days specifically set aside by Parliament for the celebration of important religious dates if Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus etc. are denied this right? Surely in a multicultural society in which equality of opportunity and treatment are dearly-held beliefs, Chinese New Year and Ramadan should be public holidays just as much as Good Friday and Christmas.

ii)If Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists etc. can take advantage of Christian festivals to take a day off, surely it is logical that those from a Christian background have an equal right to not turn up for work on Tet or Hanukah?

Australia is a diverse society, and our population comprises over one hundred ethnic groups, each with their own religion with its attendant train of festivals and saint's days. If government were to play their cards right in a fair and even-handed manner, every day would be classified as a religious holiday for one sect or another, with the net result being that no-one need ever work again.

Think about it.'

So is the war over.....?

As I havent watched CNN for a few days I'm not sure if the war is still going on officially or not, if anyone knows please let me know.

In other events i found a nice part of the world to retire in, Blowing Rock USA. Yes the names a little odd but hey so am I! Anyways I've always fancied dissapearing into the mountains and forests to die... this place is perfect.

It's me again ... Just a few things to add to my 'Most Annoying' list.
Firstly my son seems to have been taught at school that everything was made by God, aside from my personal views on religion, I still think this isn't a very healthy way to teach after all why would any 5 year old want to look further if every answer was simply 'God did it!'. And secondly, people who insist on driving in the centre lane of the motor way... ARGH! You people are bleeding useless, apart from slowing me and everyone else thats behind you down, causing traffic and I will be as bold to say therefore contributing to accidents... do you not realise that there is a lane to your left or are you really that thick!?

Only me!
Well I've been a busy bee today clearing out all of the junk that for some reason or other I collect... why, I don't really know. I think it's because I honestly think that one day it may become useful, 99 times out of 100 it isnt (99.999 to be more exact). So after 2 black bags and 4 fairly large boxes full of rubbish later I have finished just the front room! I did although find some things of interest and a few very strange things like Paracetemol that went out of date in 1996! Most dissapointingly I only found 10p so far... not the windfall I needed.

To keep you entertained I also found this from a very clever if some what twisted guy
