Christmas, lawn mowing, war with China, bumper stickers and Jeremy O's corner

Mrs K, she with the super oven and a huge talent to go with it rustled up a few little nibbles for half of Brisbane on 10^th Dec. and a jolly fine do it was.   When I say ‘rustled up’ I mean 3 days of serious cooking. With 35 people milling around on the deck, Kidner Jeremy of course had his knickers in a knot in no time at all, but he needn’t have worried – Angus A summed it up ‘Don’t worry about me – I can find my own grog, no worries’.  The guests even dished up the dishes if you see what I mean.  Wonderful people in Paradise.

This week saw Kidner Jeremy tackle Olive’s ‘lawn’ (at number 64 opposite) which comprises weeds and grass about 2 to 3 feet tall.  It turns out that he had the strimmer upside down or back to front or something so Bryan C, a proper Aussie (next door) had to go and turn it round the right way.  How embarrassing – good job he’s not a dairy farmer or the bulls would have a surprised look on their faces.  

Apparently Oprah Barfly has been in Aus recently – word has it that Julia (our PM) thought she was seeking asylum and wanted to send her off to Christmas Island.  For non Australian readers, Christmas Island is an island (sic) about 2,600 kilometers NW of Perth which is five hours flying time from civilization in Aussieland and an hour’s flying time to Bali. 30 asylum seekers recently lost their lives there is heavy weather which dashed their rickety boat against the shore.  There is no way to describe this other than a humanitarian tragedy whatever your views on immigration.

Here’s one for the girls.

I don’t know if you have followed the dreary wikileaks saga, but it turns out that Big Kev was willing to take military action against China.  Can you believe this? We’re digging up most of Western Aus and Paradise and shipping it to China where they turn it into smoke and rubbish to sell in Home Depot and WallyMart and we want to go and bomb them.  How did he propose we get there – put the troops on an iron ore carrier?  We can’t ask Qantas (pronounced ‘quaintarse’) because all their brand new super jumbos have dud Rolls Royce engines.  For these reasons I have a feeling that the entire episode has been made up by our Dear Leader as an excuse to shell S Korea.  Not that he needs one.

Jeremy O’s corner

I have to recognise the source of seriously disgraceful jokes – Jeremy O, so with his permission, I have created a Jeremy O’s page.  I will post up some of the offerings from JO each week.  Enjoy.
