My daughter likes to watch it and likes me to watch it with her.
It’s terrible viewing but I was waiting for Delta to slip a titty last night in that costume she had on.


There was one very close call.

Port Vincent, got here about 2. Kids have had a swim and are riding their bikes, about to cook a bbq dinner, a couple of beers at the Ventnor, 9 Mr. Percivals a decent drop punt from our cabin and a mother and baby dolphin combo were just swimming past our front window about 70m out. Fu*& me this place is gold.

With the cooler weather you might need a couple of good bottles of red with that BBQ.

Peter Beattie coming out and taking full responsibility for the Comm Games closing ceremony mess, refreshing to see someone in power being honest, admitting mistakes instead of deflecting blame.

Also the US Masters banning mobile phones, the crowd actually watching the action without one hand on a phone recording it.

This is where you go out and catch a few fishies with the kiddos, just so you've got something to feed the Mr Percivals with :D

Pfft but what about the Marathon debacle?? Did he take the blame for the Marathon starting time or the Australian running past the poor helpless Scot??

He's ignoring the bigger issue here. :D

About 20 minutes is my threshold for fishing, the missus and kids love it though.

Virgin Australia flight specials. Just picked up Business class tickets to Hong Kong for $1570pp return and they are normally about $3600.
Now taking an impromptu trip to Hong Kong in October for a week which is great as we don’t get back from Europe until early September :)

No point working if you can’t enjoy it. We try for about 6-8 weeks OS each year. Some years less, some more. Still got to squeeze a couple of other small trips in to SE Asia this year yet :)

Unfortunately not.
My wife gets holiday pay but all mine is unpaid leave which is why I set up a holiday fund bank account which we deposit $500 per week into plus any extra we have at the end of the month
