Dante, in his Inferno mentioned that hell had nine levels. I think I’ve found the tenth though. It’s the car park at Waringah Mall between Christmas and New Year. I’ve had the misfortune to go there twice this week in peak shopping hours and each time there hasn’t been a parking space to be had. …

Lawn Cutting Equipment
Today I have mostly been doing chores whilst SWMBO catches up on her sleep. Why is it that every lawn cutting tool I kind find (both mowers and strimmers) in this country is petrol powered? All I need is a cheap electric flymo and my one and a half square metres of lawn could be …
Complete Madness
This one is strictly for the audiophiles out there. A bunch of crazy Russian geezers have been scanning and photographing cassette tapes and their cases.

News reaches me from our very inefficient shipping company that we may have our goods from across the sea before Christmas. Or maybe not, they can’t be too sure. Frankly I’m rather keen to get my hands on my belongings …

The rules are quite simple; Open up the music player on your computer (or personal music player) Set it to play your entire collection – on random shuffle Tell …
