Power Poles Kill?
I was traveling out west on Saturday down Richmond rd at Glendenning (Blacktown) and saw these signs… I’ve seen these signs before, but now I have photo evidence of perhaps the dumbest poster campaign EVER. The photos aren’t re...
Heckled in a nursing home…
Each year we play a carols gig at Ashfield Presbyterian Nursing home as preparation for our big carols in the park event (which was on Saturday night), and we also do it because we want to help out old folks. I’ve been doing the gig there for a...

Haven’t written a blog for a while and I’m worried the dedicated Chroniclesof readers will become disenfranchised with the whole thing… So in the spirit of Facebook and as a tribute to the 3rd person, here’s an update on Micha...

The Sex Billboards…
Um, hello? Has anyone spotted a problem with the rationale in taking down the “want longer lasting sex?” billboards? [The SMH article is here if you want more background] The argument is that these billboards - which are text only - might...

Tropic Thunder
I saw Tropic Thunder the other night and damn it was funny! the premise for the movie is fantastic, basically it’s the making of the making of a film. It really takes a good dig at Hollywood. Robert Downey Jr’s character is a bit of a tak...

In the last week 2 of our friends and 2 of our relatives have given birth to a total of 4 boys - Ben, Duncan, Rhys, and Hamish… We’ve still got a couple of weeks (in theory), so place your bets! A fifth baby boy? Or A baby girl? (Arno...

Tree harvesting has never been so fun!
I saw this machine on an episode of Grand Designs last week. It’s bloody amazing! They use this machine in Finland to harvest forests for log cabins etc. It’s awesome! It fells, strips, and cuts to set log sizes in about 25 seconds. What ...

Get Smart
Fi and I saw Get Smart at the $7.50 lounge cinema in Byron Bay. I was expecting the same sort of silliness that the TV show had but I was surprised… Maxwell Smart was not the same incompetent buffoon of the TV series! In fact in this movie MAx ...
Industrial Estate Church…
Fi and I were up here in Byron on Sunday so we thought we’d go to church. We had no idea what, where, or when that would be until Fi saw a sign on the local notice board for a church in Byron that had a service at 10am (10am was a good time for...
