Dan Dare

The Eagle Annual with Dan Dare was a highlight of my childhood. The Mekon has got to be one of the scariest space bad guys.

Port Noarlunga Sea Scout Hall Sunset



Ryan goes to cubs and the Sea Scout Hall and park look much better with the sun setting than the pitch dark that we have been used to over the winter. Spotty likes it too.

BNP's Nick Griffin 'racially abused for being white' court told - Telegraph

You couldn't make it up.

The MEP told a jury that Tauriq Khalid, of Burnley, Lancs, called him a “white -------“ and pointed his fingers at him like a gun during a BNP demonstration in the town last year.

He said that he viewed the gesture as a “direct threat” to his safety which forced him to abandon the demonstration on the advice of his private security guards.

Twelve years after suing Aqua over the song “Barbie Girl,” Mattel is adapting it for Barbie advertising.

Mattel makes up with Aqua as mature Barbie is set to be pushed on punters. Bloody capitalistas.

Alco frolics anonymous

Great South Australian racing story, with local horse Alcopop one of the favourites for the Melbourne Cup.

Easy to identify with the easy going nature of the trainer

Wonder if the government will try to tax the winnings?.

Death by Spoons. Halloween Entertainment from Richard Gale

The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon. Hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Now you can imagine being killed by a spoon.

Happy trick or treating campers.

Photo Hunt: Bags








We have two big fans of show bags in our family.



Lots of devastation as more tat than could be imagined is decanted into the dining rooom. A veritable celebration of the multiple uses of plastic and sugar.

Tony 'the twister' Blair now wants a free ride on the Euro Express - No Thanks!

No Thanks. Jeff Randall elegantly skewers Tony Blair, whose chance of becoming King of Europe appears to be miraculously disappearing.

During a decade at No 10, Team TB did more to pull apart the fabric of this country's reputation than all the Cambridge traitors. Such was the scale of Mr Blair's betrayal, it's hard to know where to begin. Those of nervous or irritable disposition may wish to look away now.

Britain's border controls were abandoned, prompting a largely irreversible tide of immigration. A flawed concept of multi-culturalism was forced down our throats. It was a triumph for Mr Blair's special brand of political cynicism, concealed, as Sir Andrew Green of MigrationWatch rightly observes, by "dodgy economic camouflage".

Our hard-won EU rebate, worth billions, was handed back – for nothing in return. Mr Blair's desire for approval in Brussels was funded by the sweat of British workers. In his 1997 "Beacon to the World" speech, Mr Blair said that he wanted "Britain to lead in Europe again", but failed to mention the cost. Promises of a referendum on a European constitution were soon forgotten. Instead, sovereignty was surreptitiously transferred across the Channel.

Anyone but Blair. What an awful man.

Amazing Pictures, Pollution in China | ChinaHush

Hard to see where to start with an Emissions Trading Scheme when you see the scale of pollution here. What is so shocking is the direct human health impact. Australias issues seem so trivial by comparison. Comparisons with the industrial revolution seem apt. At what point will China tackle some of these issues?
