Bush blokes battling

According to Mount Isa’s mayor, times are tough in the Australian bush at the moment, especially if you’re a hetero bloke living in the town.

This from BBC online…

The mayor of a remote Australian mining town has come under fire after saying
that female "ugly ducklings" might benefit from its shortage of women.

John Molony told a newspaper last week that "with five blokes to every
girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount
Isa".

The council has since been swamped with complaints from both men
and women.

But Mr Molony has refused to apologise for the remarks,
saying he was "telling it like it is" in the Queensland town.

With a supposed ratio of 5:1, I can’t help but wonder why Cr Molony hasn’t used the opportunity to sell the town’s man-tourism…just think about the $$$ that could be made from conducting tours for single gay men looking for their own ‘brokeback bloke’ holiday fling!

Gooder grammar

This from one of the stalls somewhere within the depths Bangkok's colossal Chatuchak Markets.

No doubt worth every baht.

Clown boots

Seeing as the US-AUD currency exchange rate is so favourable at the moment, I've been thinking about buying some boots online.

I came across this - would you trust a clown's advice?

Blogging is back

My friend Edwina has cracked into the world of blogging.

First stop, documenting her experiences working on the Olympics in Beijing for an Australian TV channel.

Bravo!

Thai business quirk #1

I got my Thai business cards delivered today. One side English, the other Thai. My Thai name and title has more squiggles than an ABC children’s TV show.

Nit Noi

This is our new fish (and first ‘joint’ living organism) ‘Nit Noi’.

His name means ‘small’ or ‘little bit’ in Thai.
