Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Circus of Horrors in Dorset, England, has been swamped with applications to join its freak show. The circus was expecting a handful of replies from its ad at Jobcentres this week but there have been 50 callers and far more are expected to audition.

Only in England.

No, OC. Only in ANY country were folk like to get off their backsides to go and get a job, any job. So yeah, you can discount Australia from that ANY country list

5th September

Today is the birthday of one of my favourite composers....

Johann Christian Bach born on this day 1735

His music has certainly stood the test of time - I might go and put his "Magnificat" in celebration.

My jest was more about how many people there are qualified for that vacancy .

It was a joke, in line with the tone of the article that eminated from England.

(It's a bit like all that Oz bashing stuff in the other thread)

Australia would stand up well against almost all other western industrialised nations as far as unemployment rates are concerned during the GFC. In fact it is the only country in that group that hasn't gone into recession probably because people have got off their backsides. ( and also because we have a shit load of natural resources)

A man from Rangers has just beaten a man from Celtic, normally I wouldn't rejoice, however.....

Now that is random!

Wallabies BEAT Sth Africa.........

Wot's more random than that?

A group of penguins eating roast beef at Le Cafe Paris in Lema.

Well, you did ask.

That would not be random, totally unlikely.

I expected logic from the Bedlam intelligentia.

5th September

Today is the birthday of one of my favourite composers....

On this day 6th Sept 2008.

Today is the 1st Birthday of my favourite Daughter. Tia Patchara. Well, I have only got one.

I've had an interesting day, at my nieces requuest I have started doing a bit of investigation into our family tree (this what happens when you become the oldest living specimen of your gene pool !)

Today I discovered that one of my great-great-grandfathers was a "cow-keeper" in between Malpas and Bickley, Cheshire.

If anyone mentions "Bullsh*t", let me remind them my ancestors were probably experts of the stuff...

It's all in the genes or the jeans ?

Strange happenings.

Apart from the occassional post annoying people in Bedlam, I have posted very rarely on TV lately.

However, today there has been a rush of visits to my profile.

Five people have left their mark and a number of others visited anonymously.

This could be explained if I had been stirring things up somewhere, but it seems very strange without me posting anything.

Have I been mentioned elsewhere? Does anyone know what it is about?

What I found intriguing was they were all low in posts, two with one only, another with 113 and then there is Poor Sucker, who was probably looking like me, however, how do you know when an Anon takes a peek.

Have you been upsetting the other boys again? perhaps you are being set up for a Trollattack?

I haven't posted with the other boys for a long time, although I just had a quick look to see if I had been mentioned somewhere. Nothing.

Boon Mee did a rare posting in here the other day in answer to something I said, perhaps he's had something to say in their members area again.

I usually know approx how many views I have had on my profile, so a sudden jump by anonymous peepers stands out.

I suggest you post to Sibey at once.

Is checking your profile visits a sign of insecurity?

I've checked mine once in 5 years. I circled the wagons, as Dr pong was the last visitor. What are "friends" again?

Regards.

Could be old friends of yours who have fallen from grace in TV, resurecting themselves in a new guise and just scuttling about to see who's around.

Humor is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinking absurdly about them.

Yes, I know "old friends" from elsewhere often check me out when they start here in new guises.

I was just surprised there were five in one go. Thought there had to be a trigger.

What's B.J.'s tag say?

something about :- At the end of the day, a clear conscience makes a soft pillow.

Have you checked your pillow lately O.C. ?....

I haven't had a good nights sleep in years Ken.

You may have hit on the reason.

ps Mr BJ, great photos, I love a proud dad.

Cheers Tigg's

How could one not agree with Tiggs ? Plenty to be proud of there mate !!!!

Most of the times I've looked at people's profiles was when I mistakenly clicked on their name rather than the topic when looking at latest posts. I'm sure others may do that as well. I'm pretty sure there aren't 3,382 people who wish to know more about me.

Cheers suiging. The biggest headache is how much I'm gonna have to charge for the Sin Sot

Today's Odd Spot

Wednesday September 9, 2009

The Royal Family’s most bizarre heirloom — a massive size 38 pair of Queen Victoria’s knickers — have been snapped up for $A1100 by the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection charity. The huge "split drawers" measure 132 centimetres around the waist. Victoria was only about 150 centimetres tall.

Don't dwell on this too long chaps .....................

All of them were fatties

Queen Ann sponsored Ascot race course. It was triangular in shape as she was so fat she would be carried into the middle of the course where she could see all the action without moving !!!
