I tried to sneak behind someone in the lunch queue and torn my jeans on a letterbox.

If I had a dollar for every time that happened......

Here is a picture of me at work.

Is it?

No, it's actually Bob from Worlds Biggest Loser, but after the ANZAC day barage about looking like him, this morning the ladies from Bakers Delight said that I looked like him too.

What an honour!!!!

Seems like lots of toilets and Knee/Nee's on the blog lately....

Well yesterday while playing basketball I dived on the fall (not fell) and banged my knee quite firmly. Now it really hurts. Last night I dreamt that I jumped and I really jumped (as I do) and it really, really hurt. This morning I tried to put my sock on and that really, really, really hurt.

I'm not as 21 as I used to be.

Got this pop up ad today.

Get a degree - No work or classes required!!

They are saying that 'you deserve a degree' because of your life experiences.

Nuts.

Toilet Rolls

Toilet Rolls

I spotted this recently in a trendy cafe in Redfern. Note that the roll dispenser is 20 cm away from the roll as it is now and the dispenser is also one of the easy ones where you just slip it over and don't have to do the thing where you push it in a bit and then try and find the little hole.

In a completely unrelated note, Hello to Nathan and Kate who are in Montreal at the moment. Or so they were I think? Maybe now there in New York.

Nath was always a stickler for replacing the toilet roll as soon as possible. He took a sort of morbid joy in knowing that he did the job. He was also sure to make the roll loop over and out, not down the back. Crucial. Crucial.

Yeah, that wouldn't be much fun.

Dumb Ads

Here is an ad that I think is dumb. Sure it's on it's side, but that's just part of it.

It says 'most loyalty programs give you 1 point per dollar, we give you 4!'

So what? It's like tokens or tickets at the carnies, no point saying more them when their value is decided by you.

I doubt you get to fly to Disney Land for only 1/4 the amount of expenditure. And even then, they only allow 0.9 seats per flight to make it impossible to fly anyway.

Sheesh, who are they trying to kid!

Well done to my mum for wining the golf championship.

Nice one Mum.

Some might notice another Wyoming name on the board.

So I saw Ben Hur on the weekend. For the first time. Yes, for the first time. I'd actually been thinking that I'd seen it, but it turned out that I'd seen Phantom Menace instead. Quite different in the end.

Seriously, it was great. Really enjoyed it. Very long, but really well done. And while some of the scenes could be done better with new tech, I think it holds up quite well.

Yep, * * * * * * * *

8 stars for Ben Hur.
