A question for the ladies...if you'd had a one night fling with a married celebrity would you sell your story to the tabloids for a million dollars ?

07:15 pm - FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's wonderfully funny how Tiger's missus brained him with a 9 iron for his one indiscretion... my ex wife would have done 36 holes with mine.

11:33 pm - a piscatorial horror story

Cod and related species are plagued by parasites. One of the most interesting is a grotesque and massively modified crustacean, known as the cod worm (Lernaeocera branchialis). This animal starts life as a small free swimming larva that is undoubtedly a crustacean. Its first host is the lumpsucker which it captures with grasping hooks at the front of its body. It penetrates the lumpsucker with a thin filament that it uses to suck blood. Cod worms mate on the lumpsucker and the female takes her fertilized eggs to a cod and clinging to its gills, metamorphoses into something that looks scarcely animal. Her crustacean features give way to a plump, s-shaped, worm-like body. Nestled against the rear of her body is a coiled mass of egg strings. The worm is also grotesque in behaviour because the front part of her body penetrates the body of the fish and enters the rear bulb of the host's heart. Firmly rooted in the cod's circulatory system, the front part of the female parasite grows like the branches of a tree, reaching down into the main artery. The worm extracts nutrients from the cod's blood and remains there, safely tucked beneath the cod's gill cover, eventually releasing her offspring into the water.^[2]

07:15 am - an habitual stoker

Grandad Busby vanished about 1925 leaving his wife and 9 sprogs in Hull. I could find nothing more about him until his death in Grimsby (a town just over the river from Hull) in 1942.
But dogged research uncovered this tasty morsel - in 1932 he convinced a married woman in Grimsby to run off with him; this extract from a divorce petition taken out after his death -
" That whilst the Petitioner was at sea about the 23^rd

day of July 1932 the Respondent removed all the furniture from

the matrimonial home, gave up the tenancy of the house, pawned

the Petitioner's suit and deserted him, and has eversince lived

separate and apart from him and deserted him without reasonable

excuse for three years and upwards and that at the date of the

alleged desertion the Respondent was domiciled in England.

That the Respondent frequently committed adultery with

Arthur Busby formerly of 380 Victoria Street ,Grimsby

aforesaid who died on the 19^th April 1942.

That from about the end of July 1932 up to about the

end of January 1933 at 59 Stanley Street , Grimsby aforesaid,

the said Respondent lived with and co-habited and habitually

committed adultery with the said Arthur Busby since deceased.

The dirty little get !.. the womans husband was 2nd engineer on a steam ship so to start with Arthur is boxing outside his weight (he was a sweaty little stoker on the ships (and ashore too by the sound of it)..and how about the poor cuckold..gets home from sea and his suit has been sold !
There is still about 15 years to be filled in ..I wonder what other damage he was able to wreak?

04:28 pm - lip stync

dunno wot the britney fans are whinging about, they've been getting ripped off for years anyway...they deserve it

07:31 am - unconcious pilot

NEWS NEWS NEWS 

278 passengers on a Qantas flight to Sydney were left stranded in a plane on the tarmac at Melbourne airport for several hours when the pilot forgot to turn the engines on.

11:09 pm - tune in, turn on and drop off . .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I've got FM radio on my new ipod. I'm in bed station hopping,  I've landed on 90.5 . . . it's the kinda music you see on tatty old vinyl LPs in good sammies . .. it's so bad I can't turn it off...  Eidleweiss for god sake !! 

04:39 pm - ambience my arse

went shopping today . . Ikea was busy, lots of people stocking up for their 2011 street verge rubbish clearance.

07:49 am - techno wrap

pay day today..i just paid all my bills while sitting here drinking my morning coffee.. no big deal, most of us do it these days but it never ceases to amaze me, sooo glad I was born when I was   :-)

09:10 pm - Gratuitous gore . .

I emailed mediwatch tonight re tv news vision of that poor little lad killed on Rottnest Island; vision of the island, fine, vision of the cottage, fine.. vision of a blood splattered wall ??.. I think not. All stations used that bit of vision, including the ABC.

09:24 pm - clerks to the left of them, census officers to the right. . . .

It seems the Busby contempt for officialdom and our flair for idiocy goes back a long way.
My research shows a great uncle Fred Busby who, in the census of 1891 was a gardener in York but, in the census of 1901, had made the quantum leap to "Roughrider in the 17th Lancers". In the census of 1911 he had gone back to a more sedentary lifestyle as a lamp lighter.
The 17th Lancers were the most elite cavalry regiment in Britain, it was they who rode into the valley of death at Balaclava in the infamous charge of the light brigade. Great Uncle Fred was clearly taking the piss (spurred on perhaps by the name Busby itself, the name given to the cap worn by officers of that regiment).
The closest he would have got to a horse would have been spreading manure on the roses and dodging piles of horse poo on his lamp lighting rounds.
I think I'd have liked Great Uncle Fred.

06:12 am - more family creeper already

I've been able to track dad's side through census records back to 1841 except for 1891, I just couldn't find my grandad or his family in 1891 and it looked for a while like they'd managed to avoid the census people that year...until last night I finally tracked them down ..the reason I couldn't find it was because grandad (Arthur Busby) had been transcribed mistakingly as Abraham Busby..  a jewish Busby !?? .. for a while there I thought I may have to go and get the snip ...  eee by gum oy vey already

02:55 am - its a larf innit

I don't know why I watched it...  it was just setting myself up to get angry...that tv show, 21 funniest australians..  norman gunston didn't get a mention and barry humphries was beaten to top spot by paul fucking hogan..  thats like "are you being served" beating monty python   ~~

07:18 am - the family creeper

A bit of online idleness and curiosity a few weeks ago has turned into hobby . . genealogy, yep, the 'ol family tree.
In my family it's a massive challenge as there is very questionable grandparentage on both sides; I'm missing a couple of grandads in fact. They probably both realised what abominable lineage they'd started and decided to skip and run.
But I'm hot on their trails and it's only a matter of time now before I bring them to book for their crimes against humanity (albeit posthumously).
I've spent hours trawling through Yorkshire BMD indexes covering the last 150 years. I've sent off for several birth, marriage and death certificates. It's become a bit of an obsession in fact, my dreams are populated with men in cloth caps and braces; pervaded with the stench of haddock and pipe tobacco..  I wake up in the night bathed in cold sweat screaming out stuff like, "eee by gum"...  "you dont get owt fer nowt".."I'll tell thee!!". ...............
 

 

 

10:57 pm - Sorry Suzanne

I'm just posting to say I haven't posted for a while here or f/b... just one of those can't be stuffed phases we all get.
And having said that.. free music download sites yeah?.. when anyone doesn't know who sang a song from the 60's or 70's they credit it to the hollies. If they got royalties from all their purported songs the hollies would be filthy rich..I'll bet they're glad the downloads are free and illegal, they don't lose nearly as much money as they would otherwise....or something.

09:37 am - not that there's anything right with that

I think Kate shares my homophobia. Watching Fuzzy on video hits inteview a couple of paifish* male pop stars;

K: "Are they gay?"

Me; "Nahh, just English".
 
* paifish = pale and waifish

12:01 pm - hang 'em !!

I'm pro capital punishment. There should be a higher standard of proof though before it is used; not just beyond reasonable doubt but beyond any doubt whatsover.
Kevin Rudd however is pro hypocrisy. This article from a year ago and todays news from Indonesia - apparently it's ok to support execution for non Australians if it makes you look good.

06:36 am - it won't get better if you picket

I'm having a quiet chuckle over this mornings news that Australian jockeys are threatening to go on strike. I have this mental image of riot police in battle with a picket line of angry little munchkins.

06:39 pm - almost fab

I just phoned a radio comp to win the complete Beatles digitally remastered cd set, they wanted caller number 10..I was caller number 7 .. I'm sure you'll all excuse me while I say.. FUCK !!!

08:59 am - bwasted wabbits

fud is an old scottish word for the tail of a rabbit and is also used there as a slang term for fanny (much as pussy is used in english)..  it is also used as an insult there same as the "c" word is.
What is more interesting however is that is surely HAS to be were Elmer Fudd got his name  !
