Congratulations Noah

A win is a great result in a sporting match, and I am pleased that Noah is happy to play whether his team wins or loses. Yesterday however they didn't just win 36-22 but this Under 10 Junior Cowboy also scored his first try. He showed me his award which also gave him a free subway roll and took it all in his stride as another day on the field of play. Congratulations Noah on achieving your first try but also for the attitude you have.

D. I. Y is NOT always Best

We all know guys like to potter around the house and get into D.I.Y (Do it Yourself). This welder from Malaysia takes the cake...looking for a way to lengthen his penis, poking it through a nut and then finding it stuck. He was hoping the weight of the nut would provide him with extra length, alas he ended up with a large dose of embarrassment and a a sore penis that will in time heal after top layer of skin had to be removed and blood drained to be free but the memories will last a life time no doubt. If he could get his appendage in a nut, maybe he should of looked at width instead of length.

Please Explain

Whether you love her or hate her, Pauline Hanson can't be faulted for speaking her mind and being honest. Bless her, Pauline says after a failed relationship that she is looking for love again but finding it difficult as so many of Australian men are gay! We all know this isn't so but she makes me laugh because Pauline isn't afraid to say what most of us are thinking but don't have the nerve to stand up and say. Look around, girls it is no secret that many Aussie men are equipped with bad manners, forget to become familiar with deodorant, think that casual dress sense means shorts and thongs, fart in bed and whose idea of foreplay is 30 seconds (if you're lucky). Happy hunting Pauline...

Mum...can I have a mobile ?

Mobile phones for children seems to be a common thing these days. Watching A Current Affair tonight one mother who had purchased a mobile for her 11 year old son was having a right old bitch when the bill came to three thousand dollars. Well H E L L O mum, did you not think that giving your kid a phone with internet access he wouldn't use it? A person under 16 cannot open even a pre-paid account with Vodafone so the mother would of had to set it all up, including internet access. Then she had the hide to say, as a single mother she couldn't afford the bill. After being aghast at the expenses her little cherub accrued, and a complaint to the carrier, a deal was worked out where only $250 AU would be payable. The phone was brought so the boy could use it in emergencies but it doesn't take a genius to clue in that kids being curious and more internet savvy these days that he would not even log in. Nice when you can use the excuse of being a single parent for not being able to afford expenses that you turned a blind eye to in the first instance. Sorry but yes, she was blonde !

Sista Sin

Jams over at The Poor Mouth has a post about the Nun's beauty contest, well just for a laugh it was mentioned that Sista Sin would enter....

Sweet Child O' Mine

Truancy will cost families dollars

The Australian Government will introduce new laws apparently designed to bring a halt to truancy. The proposal will see welfare payments to the parents/carers of children who regularly miss large amounts of time at school , slashed or stopped for a period of 13 weeks.
This legislation will be hard to police. Granted there are far too many parents who don't do enough to ensure their children attend school but then there are those who tear their hair out as kids often wag school without parental knowledge and yet no matter how hard they try, are powerless to stop it. Each case no doubt will be dealt with on its own merits and exceptions are going to be made. Truancy occurs not only in families where the parents are receiving welfare but working families as well. Stopping welfare payments may spur parents into action but what measures are going to be put in place for children whose parents are NOT on welfare? Education is vital for all children regardless of social class or status yet if these laws are to be applied then how do you effectively apply them to families where no welfare is paid. I think it is a good idea that parents who don't give a dam will have a rude wake up call and be forced to finally get their own act together. It is no surprise that kids who don't attend school on a regular basis will be lacking in skills when it is time to join the workforce. The easiest option is to go on the dole and there again we add to another welfare dependant generation. Is this the kind of society we want where generation after generation live off government cheques or do we collectively take a stand and say no more and get active and become involved in keeping your child/ren in school.
