I don’t know what attracts me to these wrist slashing songs. Maybe I’m just a big ole softie at heart! Anyway, check this one out from 1974. I got it on a K-Tel LP called ‘Bobby Dazzler’. It cost me $4.99 and I used a gift voucher for CC Records I’d been given at Christmas [...]
Sydney drag in the 80s: Maggie Burns & Co. / THEM
I’ve been experimenting with transferring some VHS video taken of fabulous drag shows I went to in the 80s to my PC and then ultimately to Youtube. This is a regular and normal thing for many people but for someone like JudgeG who has little patience and tends to punch the screen a lot, it [...]
Favorite Peeps
I’ve uploaded a new page called ‘Favourite Peeps’ – accessible from the menu at the top of the page. It’s a gallery with shots of friends and favourite people. Check it out.
Still a Balfours boy
It’s all a bit sad. Here I was copying this video to DVD so I could then transfer it to my computer and import it into Windows Movie Maker to edit it. And I started crying. Again. Goddamn it! more about "Balfours TV advert on Flickr – Photo …", posted with vodpod This bloody TV [...]
The words don’t mean anything at all
I had a revelation the other day. There’s a fun song called ‘Higher’ by Star Pilots – it’s an entry from this year’s Melodifestivalen (the Swedish national competition to select their entry for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest). It’s not a bad song at all I enjoy bopping along to it when it pops up [...]
Saying goodbye to Mum
A parcel arrived from my brother on Friday. t was the DVD of my mother’s funeral. I remember being quite disconcerted at the time because of the roving video camera and not understanding why someone was videoing a funeral. Well apparently it is all the rage thesedays and no doubt a great little revenue raiser [...]
Not even a haircut
What a bust of a day. I slept for 12-13 hours and didn’t get up until just after 2pm. I groaned since the day was alredy half over. It’s great to catch up on sleep after a crap week at work but 2pm is just nuts. When you’ve slept that long you often wake up [...]
Consumer Lust
I’m in love. But it isn’t with another person. It’s with an object. An object of desire. The new Nokia E63. In red of course. I’m a shopaholic from way back. No doubt this trait was passed down to me by my dear departed mother who burned quite bit of rubber walking through Rundle Street [...]
Who do you have to screw to get a big bag of French Fries around here?
Just how hard should it have to be to get a 200gram packet of Arnott’s French Fries? Oh, they’re 175grams now – forgot about the downsizing. Same price – 25 grams less in the packet! So yeah, who the hell do you have to screw to get a 175gram packet of Arnotts French Fries? Someone [...]
