Fresh Stuff Occasionally
Kym and I have started our US adventure. We had a bit of a rocky start after our plane for the LA to NY leg was taken out of service 5 minutes after we boarded. After a 1 1/2 hour delay they found a new plane and we were on our way. We arrived in…
“Unisex fashion lingerie” – Seen on a sign outside a shop in Rockdale. Either I have led a more sheltered life than I thought or the owner of the shop thinks that “unisex” means something else.

The new movie from the creators of South Park Team America World Police looks like it will be very funny. This is what the Thunderbirds movie could have been!
