Got a chuckle at one of the spam emails trapped by my filters today – (take note: no scams or spams coming through my portal, Mr Conroy!): Spam declaring itself as “posible [sic] spam”? How nice of the spammers to help like that!
I was taking a look at electoral information for my electorate in preparation for next Saturday’s federal election. Checking out the information for Corio, I found something curious. There are five candidates in the senate information without any contact information, all from minor parties and independents – except for one. Guess who? Afraid of people [...]
In reading about today’s sentencing of the complete dimwit who accepted the keys to a Ferrari F430 Spider – (that was not his) – from a valet parking attendant from Melbourne’s Crown Casino in May this year, I found an interesting comparison between the two major newspaper outlets in Melbourne. From this article from The [...]
With absolutely no desire to be flippant in regards to the death of this chap, one must point out the rather unfortunate typo from this Geelong Advertiser article: At least it was a comma, and not a colon or a full stop!
Doing a quick scan of my Twitter feed last night before snuggling down into bed, I read the following tweet from the “often absent” V/Line “information” account, “@vlineinform”.

In breaking news, it appears that a 19th team will join the AFL, after the Gold Coast Suns join in 2011, and Greater Western Sydney join in 2012. As reported in today’s Herald Sun, it appears that the new team will be called “Essdeon”, which defeated St Kilda last night – (must have been a [...]
Straight out of the freaky, nutball, stay away from the dangerous substances file, comes this one: Geelong Cop-Dragging ‘Witch’ Says She’s Not From Here “When asked to produce her driver’s licence, De Avalon replied that she did not have one,” Sen-Constable Lamb said. “When asked why not, she said, ‘I’m a being from another world [...]
Just stumbled on this classic McAvaney moment in an old Channel Seven Sportsworld promo from 1991 in my old video collection: The only thing that can be said is “speeeeeeeeeeeeeeshul!”
V/Line will always blame something other than themselves for their trains constantly running late. Well, I think I have found the main reason – they think they are sending trains to one location, when they are actually meant to be going to another location. This “updated track works notification” was just released, indicating track works [...]
