Stupid Chain Emails

One of the things that really annoys me are those chain emails that people insist on sending, most of them involve some weirdo’s philosophy on “How to be happy” and because they base their theories on mystical phenomena, you are often told that “The more people you send this to, the happier you will be” or “The more people you send this to, the sooner you will be happy”.

I don’t mind the occasional jokes and videos that do the rounds, but the ones telling you to pass them on to “all the people in your address book” really really annoy me.

So why am I babbling about this? Because I got one today which is possibly the most ridiculous and stupid waste of time I have ever seen in an email. I’ll quote the main bit of it:

Out of all of the billions of people who live in the world, there has got to be somebody born on each date of the year. We are going to try to accomplish the task of seeing if we can fill the calendar up with a birthday on every day of the year. Add your name, NO LAST names, and your city/prov (or state) next to your birth date to the list below.

What is that going to prove? Absolutely nothing. If you want proof that people are born every day, check the newspaper, every single day most newspapers have a list of notable births, deaths & events. Wikipedia has a list here.

Now, if I knew all the people on the list and I knew at least one person who was born on each day of the year, that would be something, but this list just proves that a bunch of random people who have email access were born on different days of the year…or more to the point, proves that people are very impressionable, and forget that spam is “Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail.” (Answers.com). This list might not be of a commercial nature, but it is still spam.

Oh, did I mention the title of this nonsense? No? Well, it’s called “365 Birthdays”…yes, that’s right “365 birthdays”. The person who started this nonsense obviously belongs to the group of idiots who don’t know there is an extra day in a leap year.

Now that I’ve vented my spleen, time for some coffee!

Pictures of 2UE

With large thanks to TinMan, I am able to bring you some photos of the new 2UE studios. To fit them on the page they are thumbnailed, but clicking on them will take you to a larger version.

Firstly from production:
2UE Studios: Production

Now the newsroom, if you look closely at the TV in the top right of the picture you will notice The Price Is Right on it:
2UE Studios: Newsroom

Then we have two pictures from the John Laws studio (naturally the golden microphone was locked away at the time, but the mixing desk’s are gold in colour):
2UE Studios: Laws Studio 1
2UE Studios: Laws Studio 2

Once again, a big thankyou to TinMan for taking these photos, and congratulations to 2UE, it looks like you did a fantastic job.

Fun bits of spam

On occasion when I check my spam, I find something amusing, and this story in my spam is one of the funniest spam stories I’ve received

the danger threatening from the unknown consultant, had intended to catch blue shift. Waving it like a banner, she flew out the window. And the waltz

One day I might have to elaborate on that, but for now it’s gold.

Afternoons with Mike Frame

Today from midday to 2pm something unusual occured on 2CC, a local afternoon show hosted by Mike Frame.

I must say, I enjoyed Mike Frame’s show, and not being a huge fan of John Mangos, I found this show to be quite refreshing, and in fact just the way I would run an afternoon show, plenty of light banter and some good music too. Mike Frame had to go to Kippax, so the Drive show with Mike Welsh was extended by one hour so that it started at 2pm rather than 3pm.

I enjoy John Stanley’s show, but I’m not a fan of John Mangos…he doesn’t exactly sound awake to me, or interested in his show. I would be very pleased to have Mike Frame fill in for John Stanley while he is on holidays, unfortunately though i think it was for one day only, as I am led to believe this may have been the result of 2UE upgrades….which reminds me, I’m still waiting for some photos of the new 2UE studios….must contact that person again.

Still, Afternoons with Mike Frame sounds like a good idea to me!

Motorised Lawnmowers

Today was the day when the ACT Government sent the motorised tractor based lawnmower to the median strip on the major road near me. It’s a semi-regular occurence, and it has to happen, but at 8:30am? In the middle of peak hour?

That road is busy enough, and for a pedestrian trying to cross it, there are some safety issues. I personally use the median strip to assist in crossing that road as it is much easier, quicker and safer than using the footpaths. I cross one side of the road onto the median strip and then cross the road the goes across the major road onto more median strip and then cross the other side of the major road to my bus stop. This makes dealing with the traffic much easier as I only have to deal with one oncoming direction at a time and don’t have to worry about who might turn the corner without indicating. Here is a map to make it a bit easier to understand my journey.
Map of my journey from one side of the road to the other via the median strip

The lawnmowers add an extra dimension of difficulty to this journey as they tend to act as if they own the grass, and anything on it is part of the grass and needs a good mowing. The exception to this is small children and the elderly, everyone else gets to run for their life.

I can understand street sweepers attending major roads at 5am and suburban roads during business hours, I can understand CityScape Services cleaning civic at 5am, I can understand commercial lawn and garden businesses doing their work during business hours, but I fail to understand why the government insist on sending large uncourteous lawn mowing tractors onto busy median strips in the middle of busy roads during peak hour. They are a menace, and they scare the oncoming motorists when they approach the road.

We have traditional business hours of 9am-5pm, so why can’t the government employ people for those hours unless the live in an office?

Beats me…

Restuarant Review – The Majura Cafe

For those of you who don’t know (and that would be everyone who hasn’t been to Dickson College), the Majura Cafe is a “most tuesday lunchtimes” cafe run by the hospitality students. It presents itself as a standard commercial cafe with that style of food and service (although the service is slightly more towards the restuarant style of service than the lunchtime cafe service). I have often thought about going, and last week on Tuesday I decided to try it out, and these were my findings.

On previous occasions I have heard of people booking tables for this cafe, so when I arrived I checked if I had needed to make a booking and was informed that I didn’t, and that I could take any seat I wanted. I decided to sit outside in a sunny spot. After I sat down, two other people asked if they could sit at the table I was sitting at, to which I gracefully agreed and a conversation began.

A waiter came and attended to the table and asked for our orders. It was a difficult decision, but I eventually settled on a quiche and a cappaccino (the quiche was the difficult decision). After this another waiter brought out a vase filled with water, I’m sure there is a better and more appropriate word, but vase is what I’m calling it.

After a little while, and at about the point in time where I was starting to wonder when the food would arrive, the food arrived. My quiche was served with an overly generous serving of slightly less than fresh salad. The cherry tomatoes were nice and fresh, but the salad was a bit dry, and there was far too much of it. I suspect they wanted to fill the plate, I suggest they get smaller plates.

Onto the quiche, it was interesting, it had a very nice crusty pastry, but the quiche itself wasn’t quite right, they had the right idea, but something went wrong. The quiche wasn’t fluffy, quiche is supposed to be at least partially fluffy, but this was solid, and didn’t have the right consistency, apart from which they used the wrong cheese, it overpowered everything else, which was unfortunate as everything else seemed to be just right.

While I was eating, I was starting to wonder when the drinks would arrive, and the discussion at the table turned to “I wonder if he wrote down the drinks?”, at this exact moment the drinks arrived, and I must say the coffee was excellent. This has to be one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had, smooth and consistent, and even the froth was just right. I was rather suprised by the coffee, as it takes a lot of practice to get coffee right, and everyone has a different version of “right”, but the hospitality students appear to have perfected the art of coffee making, and the Majura Cafe is worth visiting just for it’s coffee.

The atmosphere is interesting, inside they have a room with tables and chairs which is rather attractive, outside they have a nice little alfresco dining area which is also quite attractive, the path between these two places is where the payment desk (for lack of a better description) is placed as well as the door through to the kitchen. The whole area seems quite nice, and if you forget that you are in the middle of a school you can almost imagine it being a real public cafe in Dickson or Manuka.

There are two things however that need some improvement. One is the payment desk area, this lacks the ambience of the other areas…a couple fake plants would fix that, and secondly the noise from the kitchen, I’m all for kitchen noises, they make one feel as if the food is being prepared in a mystical and wonderful manner, what I don’t like, however, is yelling and screaming. When I am sitting outside I really don’t need to be able to hear the senior kitchen staff yelling instructions to the other side of the large kitchen, especially when they have rather piercing voices. Please keep your voices down or close the doors and windows when embarking on yellathons in the kitchen.

All in all, the Majura Cafe is well worth a visit, many staff and students at Dickson College regularly attend it, and I can understand why. Perhaps next time I will try something a little less ambitious than the quiche, something which doesn’t require as much specialised skill, as I believe fluffy quiches are a highly specialised skill.

The Majura Cafe does, however, make excellent coffee, and the pricing is very reasonable (I think my lunch was around the six dollar mark, I can’t quite recall), and I would be delighted to recommend them to anybody who is willing to try something slightly different.

As far as I can tell, the Majura Cafe has not been reviewed before (Google doesn’t seem to think so), so I am proud to be the first.

The Majura Cafe runs most Tuesdays during the school term and is located in the hospitality building at Dickson College, phone (02) 6205 6455 for more details.

That holiday scam

I am quite simply amazed, the holiday scam that I reported a few months ago is still going, albeit with a slightly different colour scheme.

Considering that it is a free call from Australia which redirects to a US number at the scammers expense, I would suggest that people have some fun and take up the time of these scammers, feed them some bogus info, stay on the line until they ask for credit card details, make up an excuse and wait for the call to end. Of course you could hang up at any time, but it is quite entertaining to take up their time and see just how desperate they are for your credit card details. I know I had fun.

By the way, here is the more colourful and viewable version of their ads, if you feel like annoying them, the phone number is on there (free call from Australia).

If I refresh their ads I get my time to call, same claim number & same reward every time…funny that…

On a more serious note, I recieved a call late last week from somebody claiming to be Telstra offering some bizarre deal of flat rate international calls (actually, EVERY call for 19c) and launching straight into asking for credit card and other personal details.

All of these scammers are unscrupulous, rude and annoying, and if I ever meet one of them, they had better hope I don’t have something heavy to garnish their head with.

Airy Window Cleaners

How would you clean a window? With some window cleaner and a cloth? How about a leaf blower?

Well, the latter option is what somebody who lives near me decided to do. I first noticed this when I was taking out the recycling and heard a leaf blower, looked up and saw the person pointing the leaf blower at the windows. It was around this time that I realised that it was the same noise I had been hearing for the last half hour, albeit now louder, and then it occured to me, they had been using the leaf blower inside their house as well.

I wonder if they manged to blow all the dust out of their house? And just how many small household items they broke or blew to the other side of the room?

By the way, the windows don’t look any cleaner (although the cobwebs appear to be gone).

Schnappi Schlipping

Schnappi has slipped to 12th on the ARIA singles chart this week, but it’s not all bad news, I did notice that Schnappi now has a Gold Accreditation, which means it has sold a minimum of 35,000 units.

The award this week goes to Dragon (in their original lineup) and the feature song from them this week is Are You Old Enough?. I will say right now that you really have to hear the song to understand why I have chosen it as the feature song.

Lookin’ at my life go by

Fallin’ in the streets of Rome
And I’m laughing at the poor man, Talking to the blind man

See the lady in the street car lights
Colour a’la Toulouse
Television and a red red wine
So won’t you tell me, won’t you tell me the truth

Are you old enough?
Are you old enough?
Are you old enough?
Are you old enough?
Are you old enough? (woo hoo)
Are you old enough? (whoa oh)

Time goes and here we stand
Laughin’ at the sideshow
Sinking in the quicksand (quicksand)

The other side of another world
Scratch my back for the coloured girl
Yeah, oh yeah

I just wanted to kiss someone
I got the moondog blues
You just happened to be standing there
So won’t you tell me
Won’t you tell me the truth

Are you old enough?

More radio fun

It appears that 2LT Lithgow had much more fun than 2CC did last night. 2CC’s problems were of course ads from Sydney, Lithgow probably let the monkeys loose in the studio, I’ll let “it’s just not radio” from google groups aus.radio.broadcast explain.

This might explain some of the network dramas experienced overnight by
the once listenable 2LT Lithgow. Had the misfortune to discover the 2UE
Garden show this morning on 2LT, minus any sign of pulses. No
commercials, no weather, no news theme, just plain old silence each and
every network break.
To compound this embarrassing error, the imbecile repsonsible for the
on air mechanics hadn’t factored in any left over commercials;- so at
9:00am today, listeners were treated to ALL the Garden show commercials
back to back! 30 minutes worth, non stop!
And this on top of last night’s N.R.L cock up between 8:00pm and
11:00pm, which came complete with 3 hours of automated local program,
SIMULTANEOUSLY…what a joke! Just reinforces that old adage about
peanuts and monkeys hey!
Don’t know who runs / owns this mob but is it any wonder regional radio
has such a poor name. Guys, do yourselves a favour and hand back the
license, you are a disgrace. You take the Gold Logie for destroying
regional radio credibility.
Being from the Bathurst region , I thought 2BS / B-Rock had that mantle
well and truly covered. WRONG, they now have another contender.

Now, where’s that bigger antenna??????

I guess this is why these changes are made in the middle of the night on a Saturday…nobody in the regional studios to take any notice.

2UE’s New Studios

Congratulations to Sydney radio station 2UE, who have now moved to their new digital studios. The first program broadcast was Saturday Night Live with Stuart Bocking at 9PM last night, which was pretty much exclusive to 2UE as most of their network stations (including 2CC Canberra) were covering the rugby league finals.

I did notice though that 2UE managed to send their ads through to the network stations, this may have been an operator error (there were a couple of those as the staff got used to the new equipment) or it may have been an oversight on the technicians behalf where they either forgot to prevent ads from being broadcast to network stations or forgot to inform the operators of the correct procedure for ad breaks.

According to people who have worked their previously, with the old equipment it was neccesary to mute the computer on the audition channel which went through to networks during ad breaks, and it may be similar with the new equipment.

Most of the network stations (actually, I think all of them) run automated overnight, so they pretty much leave the 2UE channel and the computer channel open and things work as expected, as 2UE sends silence to network station during the ad break. Instead, last night 2UE sent their ad breaks through, so the computers at local stations played the ads, but 2UE were also playing ads and therefore both sets of ads were playing over the top of each other.

If it happens again tonight I will make sure I bring it to 2UE’s attention tommorow so that they can fix it.

Apart from that, the new equipment and studios should be fantastic, and I will be keeping an eye out for some photos to share with you, especially the new John Laws studio, which is rumoured to have a gold coloured desk.

City Ads (News) Editorial

You may recall that a few weeks ago I gave City News the title of “Worst Newspaper In The Country” and that part of my criticism related to their anonymous editorial “by some anonymous person calling themselves “The Whip”, who…provides a fairly generic semi-relevant rubbishing of the news.”

I picked up City News when it arrived today and had a flick through, and was suprised to find an editorial by somebody with a name, Catherine Lumby to be precise. I decided that it would be worthwhile having a read of this new editorial, and was sadly disappointed.

I was expecting something with some relevance to the current world situation, instead I found myself enduring her writing an essay about her view of the definition of sexual harrassment, and then found that the entire thing had just been lifted from Crikey.com.au.

It reminded me to some extent of those columns you tend to see near the editorial and letters to the editor in a real newspaper, except that those tend to have some relevance to the news in the paper. At least those aren’t lifted from a website.

Perhaps City News would be better off calling it a “column” rather than an “editorial” as the term “editorial” in a newspaper indicates that the column is written by one of the editors and is related to the news. A “column” on the other hand is an opinion peice that doesn’t necessarily relate to anything, but usually relates to the news.

I suppose City News could just call it “Crikey Corner”.

If you want to read Ms. Lumby’s ramblings, it is currently available on the City News website and probably more permanantly on crikey.com.au.

The Week In Review

I’ll admit it, things have been a bit slow here over the last week or so, which is entirely my fault and due to my lack of remembering to write anything.

I’m going to rectify that now by writing another one of my lengthy stories.

Let’s start with Monday, where I had one of my trademark alarm clock accidents, which saw me wake up at around midday. This could be considered to be a bad thing as I missed a couple classes, but I have reached the point where I have completed enough classes to receive a year 12 certificate and it therefore doesn’t really matter if I am absent to the extent that I don’t receive a grade for current classes. It would be nice to get a grade, but it isn’t overly important in the scheme of things.

Waking up around midday wasn’t exactly a bad thing though, as it allowed me to hear an ad on the radio while preparing my breakfast/lunch. This wasn’t just any ad, it was an ad for a current job vacancy at 2CC (They are looking for a breakfast panel operator) and it got me thinking about applying. My brain wasn’t quite in gear at the time, and I forgot that I had done enough to gain a year 12 certificate, and as such I decided that I wouldn’t be able to apply for the 2CC job. As time went on, I continued thinking about it, and realised that I had done enough to gain a year 12 certificate, and then decided that I should consider applying, and make appropriate enquiries at my college to ensure that I was able to get a year 12 certificate. These enquiries showed that a minor error had been made with some of my classes, and I would need to have those errors rectified, which I have arranged to have done.

By 3PM I was certain that I wanted to apply for the 2CC job, and sent an email. This email was a bit of a rambling mess, but I sent it anyway.

Tuesday rolled around, and on this occasion I was awake at the correct time. Tuesday was to be the day for a meeting between myself (in my Trainee IT Administrator role with the college), one of my co-workers, and two bosses over an incident that had occured the previous Thursday (and mentioned here on friday). The first thing I did on Tuesday after arriving at the college was to get myself a cup of coffee, as I suspected some political deviance would be handy during the meeting, and a good amount of coffee in the bloodstream would enable that to occur more freely. I enjoyed my coffee and had a class at 10am, this class is, as far as I can recall, the last time I saw my 1GB flash drive. The class usually takes place before and after recess, but due to some extra assessment activity for some students, and the teacher having to visit the dentist, the class continued through recess and then finished just after recess. One possible explanation is that I left my flash drive conected to the computer I was using by accident…I hope this is the case as I don’t know where else it might be.

At the conclusion of the class (approximately 11:15am) I went down to Dickson and had another coffee. The walk to and from Dickson was good, and in fact was quite refreshing.

Midday arrived, and I went to my maths class, which was mostly uneventful. I did, however, inform the teacher that I had a meeting to attend after lunch and would therefore not be in the continuation of the maths class after lunch.

At lunch time I went to the Majura Cafe, which is a little cafe run by the college’s hospitality students once every week or two. In my entire time at Dickson College, this was the first time I had attended the Majura Cafe, and I was mostly impressed, especially at their coffee making ability. I will have a full review soon.

At the conclusion of my lunch consumption (approx 1:30pm) I went to the arranged meeting with my co-worker which we agreed to have before the big meeting so that we could discuss what had occured and how to best explain it.

We had our meeting, and just before 2pm we went downstairs to the waiting room outside the location of the big meeting. As per the prediction I made at about 1:45, the other people involved in the meeting were ten minutes late, and it got under way at 2:10pm. The meeting did seem to be a little bit firey in some places, although the “meeting before the meeting” helped with that, as did (in my opinion) a tactical placement of an announcement by myself, of my “possible other employment”. I think it was quite clear from the meeting that they really can’t afford to lose employees, and the outcomes of the meeting (which were virtually none) really show that. My memory of the meeting indicates that there was a general change of approach by the bosses after my little announcement.

After the meeting I had another coffee before going home.

On wednesday my morning bus was late, actually, it wasn’t late, it didn’t arrive, it was the bus after it that was late…naturally this made me late for my first class, and the relief teacher was somewhat cranky about it. To be more precise, she was cranky about me being 15 minutes late for class, I explained the reasons to her, although this seemed to make her more cranky and she made an under-her-breath statement “Always the buses fault”. I was already cranky about the tardiness of my transport, and her being argumentative didn’ help things, I felt like screaming at her, but manged to contain myself to multiple mumblings.

After this class I had a couple spare hours which were used repairing my sanity.

One of the classes much later in the day was rather odd, the teacher who had been to the dentist on Tuesday had to go again, and there was a sign on the door saying that the class would take place in the library, so I went to the library and about half way through the class the teacher arrived and said we could all go home.

For some unknown reason I was tired on Thursday, and somehow managed to sleep through to 4pm, apparently while I was sleeping, utter IT chaos was taking place at the college, so sleeping and not having to deal with it was probably a good thing. None the less, I was faced with a dilemma that night, do I go to bed or not? I wasn’t feeling tired, which would be fairly obvious after 16 hours sleep and only a few hours awake, so I stayed up for the entire night, having a cup of coffee at about 1am on friday morning, and then forgetting to have any more. I decided to make a game of the situation and pretend that 4pm was 7am and then work out the time.

I arrived at my college early (which shouldn’t be a suprise) at about 8:40am (11:40pm imaginary time) and had a class. By this time I was starting to become paranoid about whether or not my job application email had reached it’s location and whether or not it was suitable, so I decided that I should send another, more formal, email after the class.

At the end of the class (10am/1am) I had two hours free, so I had a cup of coffee (which cured my partial tiredness) and then went and wrote a formalish email including a resume and sent it to the appropriate person.

After this I had another class (midday/3am), which just happened to be the same class I had (presumably) left my flash drive in. On this occasion the teacher did not need to visit the dentist, and the class proceeded as normal, however I hadn’t noticed that my flash drive was missing at this stage, and had no reason to reach for it, so it could very easily have been in that room and I wouldn’t have noticed.

By the end of that class (1pm/4am) I was feeling very hungry, so I went to civic as per usual for a Friday afternoon, ate my lunch and met my bus driver friend, who, being back at work, was once again driving his bus.

By the time I got home (approx 4pm/7am) I was starting to feel tired, and I had another coffee. Just before dinner (6pm/9am) the tiredness got the better of me and I had a little nap. I was also starting to feel the effects of hayfever. After dinner I had a shower and went to bed (8pm/11am).

The hayfever made it dificult to get a solid amount of sleep, as I was constantly waking up with a runny nose. I normally wouldn’t bring up such details, but I do on this occasion because I interpreted it in an interesting manner.

As you would probably know, when you are half asleep, a lot of things simply make sense, and your brain can be good at coming up with unusual and downright strange ideas. My brain did this exact thing, and whilst it dealt with the runny nose in the correct manner, it was thinking that letters (yes, alphabetical letters) from some newsroom were arriving and coming out of my nose. It made sense at the time, although I did eventually realise that “It’s not letters at all”.

This morning when I woke up (slightly later than expected due mostly to the breaks in my sleep by the runny nose and the fact that I needed a lot of sleep) I had breakfast and then proceeded with my day, which included my newsreading duties with Australian Independent Radio News. I was still suffering from hayfever during the day a little bit, but it does appear to have cleared up now.

Well, that pretty much sums up my week, although I may have some more specific details coming soon.

Google Translator Fun

I decided to throw one of the recent posts through the google translator from English to German to English, the results were quite entertaining.

It would appear that “Dickson College” has become “university Dickson” and Google have invented a “capucino satay” as well as roasting rice rather than frying it. It would also appear that I was doing a lot of “doing” and my bus driver friend made an “entire” during the afternoon. My bus driver friend’s involvement in the used furntiure business became “a Miteinbeziehung in the memory” and I appear to have strted eating my “dte” (Tea…I think) Anyway, I’ll let you read and enjoy this new and bizarre dialect of English.

Well apart from a small event at the school, which I commentate not on, until the expenditure is repaired, had I a pretty good day.

This mostly was because of a lunch meeting with my bus driver friend, who made an entire in the afternoon meeting.

Right after 1PM met I it outside of my university (university Dickson) and, instead of went a doing which we for the last two weeks and going to association the Dickson Tradies for the lunch doing, we completely to Tuggeranong for the lunch, which was very good. This roasted rice and chicken, which is with one cappucino satay, were very nice.

After this expired we to Queanbeyan and a furniture business used, whose I cannot remind me of names…, it of No. 117 on a road in Queanbeyan if this assistance am. My bus driver friend has a Miteinbeziehung in the memory, therefore it was good to see him for the first time and meets some interesting people at the same time.

During out there, I in that was to waive rather nice Weinlesewalkman. Z.Z. take I to two radios around with me, am one a torch/flare radio, whom I use as my loudspeaker radio, who am, which I prefer it to use, when going or sitting, in certain ranges as headphone me to a certain extent provoke, I find particularly there, prevent her my ability to hear that mine surrounds. The other radio, which I carry around with me, is newer Walkman, who has only one headphone exit, a this is useful on penalties etc., how people can be provoked by loudspeaker radios in limited areas, and a right on your ear to hold is unpleasantly and partly disorienting suitably it external noises partial blocking and my ability effectively preventing to mark the position from noises to.

These “new” radio (it is new to me), one inbuilt loudspeaker has AND headphones… is spent and suprisingly esIST in the situation to have the headphones and the loudspeakers to simultaneous, marks it also a switch, in order to turn the loudspeaker on and away. Is supposed in the situation to settle the work of the other two radios and to make a sound quality available of the better loudspeaker than that torch/flare radio.

That I do not have each possible problem with the other two radios, it formed, is very good you and their work friendly settled, but these “new” radio things more simply.

IchWAR in the term to make some photos of this radio but rejects the camera to accept perfectly good batteries and is argumentative, therefore you must only wait.

Back to the history of my daily. After the attendance to Queanbeyan, which we decided, a coffee to drink and during so back to Dickson and in particular went, Hudsons, which is possessed by the people, which tended, to be my following door neighbours. After this my bus driver friend let me fall away at home, who was probably short before 5PM.

After this went I examining the Johngesetzwebsite to see in order, if this were already the Wochen”gut of laws “segment on its place of assembly. Before I continue, I will address the continual interests of a number of people, which read this blog. I do not hear on John, whom laws show up, mean this that I am with everything on it, but I the appearance enjoy and I a very large quantity respect for John laws have and I him find to maintain. If you are with me others, I am fine with this, do not confirm I that, straight is I there not a fan of most FM music stations, a quantity of people not discussion radio and some/all the Vorfuehrer to stand can. That is not fine and I has a grasp with that, finds I it actual to renew that people unbelievably different opinions have, if it comes to the means it form my life many more interesting and the maintenance.

Back to history (again), when said I, examined I the John law place of assembly for this the Wochen”gut laws “segment, since it marked a section in it that I heard this morning and wanted to again hear, it this woman gave, who was probably drunk going on and on and on and on and on and on approximately absolutely nothing, and it was hillarious, like the notes formed Lawsie.

The principal reason, which I mention this, is the fact that I considered last week, which the people, which are responsible for maintaining the John law place of assembly, had destroyed delibearately the audio quality on the music in the document, which really my ears hurt you and hard to hear too was. I sent to John an email, who asks for an explanation, and during I never received (or at least, heard me not for appearance, when he explained it, if he did at all), which the audio quality for this week had been regulated, which pleased me immeasurably, and I had email Lawsie, it for only attachment thank it, which I had now done.

I assume that I should have a fast counting pulse of my beverages up to now today (hmmm yesterday I have this for one while written). I ate a cup of dte to my breakfast /morningtee (, I had another warning master clock accident), I drank a coffee at the lunch, a coffee to in the afternoon dte, a coffee at the dinner, a coffee this evening and another coffee this evening. The lunch and in the afternoon dte were strongly, actually thus were the house, which was not formed one, so that 5 strong coffee is, a miracle, which I did not believe tiredly…,

I feel like here sit and a continuing real writing Kauderwelsch but I become not, terminate I this here and receive something sleep…, if I can! Hmmmm, surprises me I, if the ADS on 2CC must examine this evening……. to play. Samuel
