Spinning left or right?
Motivation is the key
Found this nifty little site which I found pretty cool. The photo above is a shot I took from the coach when I was on holiday in the UK earlier this year. Doing Beatles tour in Liverpool.
Bend over like Beckham
Put your hand up if you think David Beckham is a highly overrated sports player?
Thankyou

Laser TV's bad reception
The idea of laser TV coming in to replace the greenhouse contributing plasma TV has been put on a delay for Australia to 2009 - when it was due to be on sale for christmas this year. With all the excuses in the book thrown at this delay, I can summarise it up quite easily for you:They're just fricking lazy and the diary of each company involved conflicted.
'spose you'd care to join me sitting on the lounge twiddling your thumbs together while whistling?... yeah thought not. Get me a beer.
Good News Everyone!

So long Eyebroward
Rudd is in, Howard is out.My hat goes off to Howard though. You did well. You brought in the GST when you promised there would be NO GST NEVER EVER, you sent troops to Iraq and said they would return by Christmas 2005 but they're still there, AWB has never been so popular, the internet has never been more slower, Kyoto hasn't been signed...
hmmm...

Trust No Two
After years of speculation and dodgy rumours, apparently 20th Century Fox has confirmed that there will definitely be an X-Files movie sequel, starring Duchovny, Anderson, and even Carter back to film the movie. It's been scheduled to be filmed next month, and released mid 2008.Woo! :)

McLeod and his Daughters hit a Drought
Not that I watched the show, but McLeod's Daughters have faced the chopping block at Channel 9 and will not be renewed after the 8th season.
Channel 9 CEO David Gyngell has not said the reasons why, but praised the show for becoming an iconic show for the channel.
Watch their timeslot for cheap American reality TV, dodgy American sitcoms, or another show hosted by Eddie McGuire.

To Californicate or not to Californicate
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are threatening to sue the creators etc of one of the most awesome TV shows ever, Californication, over the usage of the name and other shit related to the RHCP with the album and song of the same name.
What's the point.. you're getting excellent publicity out of it!!

WGA Casualties
WOW - I'm all for the WGA strike that's going on in dreamland at the moment... but I didn't know it was going to severely impact my favourite shows!
You'll be surprised what shows will only get 1/2 a season due to the protest. Scrubs is a likely casualty :(
To see which shows have been affected - here's the list on Wikipedia. If it's on Wikipedia, it's gotta be true!
Note sarcasm...
Stop the pain! Give what WGA want!

Especially for you... again
Kylie Mole and Jason Domino... I mean Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are reuniting again for a one-off sketch special for UK's ITV. The sketch is Kylie approaching Jason for what he thinks is an autograph for a fan, then Kylie reminds him that they used to date 20 years ago.Or something like that.
How 20 years can change people...

15 point 1 minutes of fame
Guess who is trying to make a comeback (again)??
It's Mr Iceman himself - Vanilla Ice.
But this time he's disturbing the grounds of North, Central and South NSW coastal areas with his one hit wonder - Ice Ice Baby. It's everyone's closet favourite which you sing to yourself in the car or dance on the dancefloor while drunk at a wedding.
Vanilla Ice plays
* Newcastle's King Street Hotel on Dec 28
* Plantation Hotel, Coffs Harbour on Dec 29
* Wollongong's North Gong Hotel
* Sydney's Beach Palace Hotel on Dec 31
So much for the Entertainment Centre or Acer Arena. Maybe if he brings his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle buddies along, it'll entice more to come.
For the hell of it - here's Jim Carrey's parody.

Aunty's new babysitting service
In order to win brownie points, the Aust Fed Govt have announced they will inject around $82 million into a kids only digital TV channel. One reason is to help avoid watching junk food commercials - yep, right - and will aim for the 5 - 17 yr old demographic.
Fly TV and ABC Kids anyone? ... maybe the technology was too new for everyone at the time.
If you're going to run a kids only channel (forget the crap on Foxtel), play these shows!!
Make sense? Yeah I know most are out on DVD...

NY Girl of my dreams is giving me nightmares
Machine Gun Fellatio can make a song out of that..
A smart dude by the name of Patrick made up a website trying to find a chick who caught his eye on a New York train.
At first, people thought it was a marketing gimmick. But it wasn't - it was just a really simple way (when you think about it) to find a girl he thought was attractive and didn't have the courage to say anything to her on the crowded train. Don't you hate it when nerves kick in?
In that case - my dream girl is short, hourglass figure, long brown hair, has an olive complexion, nice rack, and talks on her phone all the time about casinos and whales... you seen her?
Oh nevermind - I found her in Las Vegas...

Dodo Nono
This could go belly-up anytime now.
El cheapo internet provider Dodo are like their ads - dodgy, cheap and full of gimmicks to sucker in the internet-unawarers. Their customer complaints are practically double the amount than Telstra's average complaint listing.
Yet, when questioned about their complaints, a spokesperson claims that their call centre is up to scratch and have the efficient staff to handle the calls, answering most calls within a minute.
Hmm.. you'd think that they would use the money they pay for staff to answer complaints to better usage..?
Oh, and check this out.. visiting this news page...
Somewhat coincidential that they're advertising Free Broadband on the same article they're being bagged about?
Here's a tip: Never name a company after an animal. Froggy, Dingo Blue, Ratbag .. anyone?

"Formerly" wants his purple pants back
The dude who was once known as "The Symbol" and "Prince" and "The Artist Formerly Known As.." has put his lawyers on set to attack his fans by threatening to sue the shit out of them for any usage of his image, audio, lyrics, and any other scouraging piece of crap that relates to his artistic likeness...
... on the thing we like to call "The Internet".
All I can say is, best of luck Formerly! You're not winning any new fans this way.

Chasing Norgs
This picture pretty much explains all.No?
Alrighty then...
Chaser exec Julian Morrow followed Labor MP Peter Garrett while doing electoral runs, obviously trying to get a joke and react out of the Midnight Oil frontman.
Unfortunately, The Chaser team have become too popular for their own good (not their fault - I blame the likes of SMH, news.com.au, ACA and TT publishing articles on these guys to make them popular enough to destroy them. Vicious cycle.)
Anyway, the 2 topless birds behind Julian work for porn-for-bogans mag Picture, and tried to tarnish the stunt Julian had planned for Peter.
However, I'm sure with some creative thinking, Julian and Co. can put a spin on it and will make them the winners anyway.

Seinfeld rips into Larry King
Everyone knows Jerry Seinfeld and the smart move he made by ending the show while on a high.
Larry King thinks otherwise... and appears to regret mentioning it.
The look on Jerry's face is priceless.

Neighbour moves to retirement village
After 20 odd years playing Harold Bishop on Neighbours, Veteran actor Ian Smith is putting down Harold's tuba and retiring.Before you say "oh, is he going to be killed off? Will he go get washed off the rocks and suffer amnesia again?", no he isn't doing that. He's signed a contract that he'll have to make guest appearances in the show still. That usually means if they write off his character completely, the show will go into lower ratings than it already is having. That way, when the ratings are about 2 digits, they can bring Harold back as a guest - telling young juveniles how to straighten up and fly right... etc.
Onya Ian - you deserve it.

How many do we really need?
NewsCorp has recently announced that MySpace and Google have merged together with their own updated social networking site Open Social to compete against Facebook.
Now I could go on with a rant saying MySpace has been losing members since Facebook started, but who cares right? All of this is just a phase until the next big thing happens and it'll last a year.
I'm off to the pub to have a beer and socialise that way.

Melbourne C Cup
HR of Westfields are just the beginning of putting their foot down on how much they can "party" for the race that stops the nation - The Melbourne Cup. You work for them, you basically have about 1 hour to have a few drinks, nibblies, cry foul over how rigged the race is after losing a months paycheque on a shit horse, have sex with a co-worker or stranger, and then go back to work.
Also, the peoples at the Cup organisation are complaining that spectators clothing attire are getting more revealing and should put some clothes on like a towel or a doona. The idea for the Melbourne Cup is to turn up, bet your life-savings on a dodgy horse, get shitfaced and have a massive perve at some chick's rack which she's purposely set up so you can try and pick her up while you and her are both drunk and have meaningless sex behind one of the tents, only for her to contact you a month later saying she's knocked up with your kid due to the condom breaking.
If this coverup means the chick in the above picture has to wear a bedsheet - damn them!
