Item from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Extract from a speech by Nathan Rees at the Salamander Retirement Home.

“A lot of future husbands and wives will meet in this place and many will have children who will meet here and dance and argue and have fun and learn to swim. In these meeting places a civilisation is built, customs are established, conditions made known and that local spirit, that sense of place, of a sacred site of tribal being is preserved through the ages.”

Glad to see that Seoul has got its priorities straight with the introduction of pink parking spots for us ladies!  The official motivation behind the close-to-shops /restaurant parking spots is safety.  However, my money is either on them being a cunning way to stimulate the economy or Korea’s answer to reducing carbon footprints?

The Ideal Man

Being as though we have no money left to count, the economists from Oxford University have turned their hand to offering pre-coital advice. A recent study suggests that women are far better off choosing a mate from Scandinavia than opting for one that’s true blue. Why? Because while Aussie men allegedly hate housework those northern European types lap it up. I expect to see big queue at IKEA this weekend girls….

Poppy Producer Tasmanian Alkaloids were perplexed at the appearance of crop circles this June and got OH&S clearance to stay up past midnight to check for UFO’s (Unrelated Folks from Overseas). However, their plans for a midnight feast were thwarted when they spotted skippy and his mates dining out on company expenses. Happy Daze.
