October 8, 2012 at 9:52 pmLove the attention to detail with the pronunciation hint. I simply cannot let it go unmentioned that saccharine is spelt correctly, even though I know it HAS to be the work of a spell-checker.

October 9, 2012 at 10:33 amAs I’ve always said Doc, “Life is like a game of Murd-grenade tennis -it’s so much better to serve than to receive”?
[…. sorry “merde-grenade” of course …. what could I have been thinking?]

one of my favourite definitions of eternal love is Stevie Wonder playing Ray Charles at tennis.
No love lost there then; but it is better to have loved and lost than to have never been able to find the tennis court.

October 10, 2012 at 7:59 amTony Abbott is the second best thing that could have happened to Australian women.
The best is Peter Slipper. In the light of his email comments, and the subsequent stoush between Gillard and Abbott, it seems that gross personal abuse of women is on the nose. Even if only for a day or two I think people (alright, men, not including the lovely ones) will think twice and many will hold fire, and women will feel empowered to call out those who don’t.
It’s a start.
