FAVOURITE MOVIE QUOTES

Just finished watching Pulp Fiction and got me thinking of one liners in movies.
My favourite quote from Pulp Fiction is when Jules and Vincent are cleaning up a car after Vincent accidently shoots some dude in the back of the car.

JULES: Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN' IN THE BACK? YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're fuckin' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this nigger's skull!

What are your favourite quotes from a movie.

Left or Right Brain

Do you use your left or right side of your brain.
Can you use both?

Pacific Nations Set For War


As expected the Rugby League World Cup has been bitterly dissapointing, the opening match was not even considered important enough to show live, having to wait for channel nines's 60 minutes to finish before telecasting the opening match.

With NZ and Englang putting in substandard performances in the opening round it is difficult to see anyone challenging Australia.

Tomorrow night will see two teams face off that have a reputation as the most spiteful relationship in world sport.

Both Samoa and Tonga have been warned to perform their traditional pre-game war dance in their own quater as every time a player has stepped over the half way mark an all in brawl has ensured.

But Tongan winger Cooper Vuna - who will lead his nation's "Sipita'u" - last night warned there will be "no stopping anyone" if Samoa step over the halfway line.

"I don't know if the coaching staff or the management could stop it. There will be no stopping anyone."

If you like your sporting contests played with passion then don't miss this game, it should be a cracker.

VINNING FAMILY REUNION






Just spent the last few days near the Snowy Mountains at a family reunion, and had a fantastic time. Over 40 relatives traveled from England, Fiji and all over Australia to my Uncle's farm near Thredbo for four days of celebrations.

Festivities included kite flying, fishing for yabbies, photograping local wildlife and plenty of drinking. Everyone stayed in caravans, combies and tents on the property. All the food was provided from the land. My cousin built an outside pizza oven for the event which went down a treat.

I have plenty of relatives that love to party hard so I wasn't out of place cracking my first beer with breakfast every morning. Not everything went to plan, within an hour of arriving I had broken my collar bone in three places had three shots of morphine, and subscribed a cocktail of medication which just added to an impressive stockpile I had accrued for the weekend.

I had such a brilliant four days that I have put my hand up to host the next reunion.

Golden



Hi guy's, thought I'd drop a line from Canada and let you all know where I'm at these days.
Golden is the town in British Columbia and it's a small ski town that is host to Kicking Horse Mtn.

I've just finished a busy summer working in Labrador and the Yukon towing survey equipment up and down the ranges.
Home now and getting the heating side of things organized with the wood furnace in the house and the wood pellet stove in the garage, plus the hot tub...wicked.
There's tons to do in the area and the next thing on the list is a motorbike to get me to the back country for serious hikes and camping. Best news would be the start of some Heli-ski flying out of Mica Heli lodge this winter.
With all the new families out there, I guess there's not many left to come visit but those of you that are up for it, your welcome.
Later mutants

parklife verses franti....

hey ho daddios... shagga and i and a few others doubled up and went to parklife and spearhead within a week of each other and the differences were huge. in fact so much so that they are worth writing about...
i think the only word to describe the emotion we felt was "shock" when we hit parklife which was at the riverstage. first of all everyone was just so young... i mean really, really young and there was such a difference in the attitude to the festivals of old. first of all in the fixers day we were concerned with not being concerned if i can speak for all? it was almost like we tried to look like we didn't care (even though we did). at parklife everyone was almost overly concerned with their look. the lads were all short haired, waxed, buffed and bare chested wearing bubble gum coloured clothes (aka corey worthington) and the ladies matched the look dressed to the kilt as well. there also lacked a real vibe, a roar if you like and there was a general lack of common decency that bonds everyone in the various lines you stand in that are par for the course at all festies. the actual act line up was good but the performaces were very ordinary. goldfrapp looked tired and flat, 2 many djs sound was too low, soulwax played exactly the same set as at the v festival and diplo had an mc that wouldnt shut up. all in all i walked away thinking that one question that haunts every festie goer at some point or another...... AM I TOO OLD? are festies like the byron bay blues, woodford, pyramid and peats ridge that last bastions of solid choice festivals... it also made me think of producing "bring back FEAR" t-shirts and handing out to all that know.
fast forward a week of pondering and we found ourselves at spearhead who played at the tivoli. well i tell you what; this team have never disappointed and i dont expect they ever will. michael franti gives a 100% to everyhting he does and right from the word go he had the crowd jumping. i dont think there was a person who didnt leave with a soaked t-shirt and for the first time in ages i only drank a single beer because the performace was better than than the need to queue for a drink (i know.. i know)...
so i was lifted by the fact that one performance negated the other and at the end of the day i will only remember the one i enjoyed.. but it still begs the questions - am i too old? do i now need to be selective in choice and not choose a festie just because of its line up?
one thing that i have realised is that there is an urgent and dire need to:
BRING BACK FEAR!!

interiors

We finally got around to snapping a few interior shots off. Enjoy.
we found the door handles in a asian inspired store in west end. we are pretty happy with the outcome.
the hallway looking towards the master bedroom.
the bathroom out to the back of the property.
the interior deck looking to the lounge.
well, thats about it... we mulched the pathways this weekend and the next thing to do is plant the garden beds out whilst there is a little spring left. slowly but surely as they say..
