Perhaps misguided moral passion is better than confused indifference.

Three buildings in a line, all showcasing the progression of office buildings across the past 150 years. This was taken on the corner of Davey and Macquarie.

How about a Sunday Top Five?

My Top Five Teams In The Australian Football League!

1: Essendon. The Bombers remain my team. A return to the finals was a welcome relief from a few barren years.

2: Geelong. I did enjoy their win yesterday. The Cats go about it the right way.

3: Richmond. Maybe it's pity, but I still have a soft spot for the Tigers. That said, they used to be my default soft spot team, but their sustained ~~mediocrity~~ ineptitude - coming up to thirty years now - has whittled away what little ~~respect~~ pity I have for them.

4: ...

5: [ahem]

To be honest, I pretty much dislike the rest. I'm drawing a blank for any teams that I might have a positive inclination towards. The best I can give you is a list of those I don't actively dislike; step forward Melbourne, Fremantle, Adelaide and (depending on my mood and whether their club president is around), Footscray.

Of course you are welcome to your view on your preferred AFL teams...but I just cannot resist saying that I did not enjoy the Cats win yesterday. I think you know why!!! (I am abiding by the rule above..."no abuse please"!!!!)
Thank you!

I like most of the teams...except Hawthorn, Adelaide and today...Geelong! (Not for long though as I do have a soft spot for the Cats. If ever we were to be beaten, I am glad it was them and not the Hawks or Crows.)

Sue, I enjoyed the Cat's win, and the tears of the annoying Saints fans. The world would stop turning if the Saints ever won anything, it's against the laws of nature!

I do have a privileged list of REALLY hated teams: Collingwood, Carlton, and Hawthorn; with honourable mentions to Port and Sydney.

You are soooo right! It would probably make the world spin in the opposite direction if the Saints won a flag! It's funny...it all seemed so important on Saturday morning and now...well, couldn't give a rat's! Aaah, life!

It could have been worse, you could have lost to Collingwood...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Can you believe that it is time for Theme Thursday already? Today we are not talking chocolate , toddlers , mess or ignominy . No, today we're dealing with ANIMAL . Now I could have posted a picture of a possum, numbat, wombat, wallaby or any other furry killing machine that roams our fair isle, but I figure that I'd use a far more deadly creature as an example of an animal . Some people - I know them as fools - have chosen to embrace that highfalutin idea that human beans are for some ungodly reason superior to animals. Of course, what these imbeciles seem to forget is that were are simple animals ourselves ! Anyone with a baby, toddler, teenage boy or Queenslander in their household could tell you this. Look at Henry [above]. One chocolate frog in the back of the car on a sunny day and all of a sudden it's Elagabalus meets Bacchus for a quick shandy in the Serengeti and we're down on all fours carrying on like a cat in heat. Fair dinkum, anyone who chooses to ...

This will hurt me...
