Ha, my Dad never ever grew a beard, to my knowledge. Always struck me as a very weird thing. Surely he’d grow one just out of curiosity? But no, even when living as a hippy in the Tasmanian wilderness, he was never tempted.

I’ve had a beard for most of my adult life, and would look rather blank without one.

A beard is a necessity in Tas.

Especially if you work on the central highland lakes in winter.

Which I did for a while.

What work were you doing, Teleost?

I was working on life histories of Galaxiid and Paragalxiid fish in Great and Arthurs’s lakes.

It was great work, but my boss was just a wee bit too inclined in the onanistic arts and it was just too bloody cold after a couple of years.

Sounds absorbing work. I love the cold, me.

Then you have the whole thing about working for the agency that’s supposed to be protecting the 11 species of Tasmanian freshwater galaxiids whil pumping Trout into their habitats :{(>>>>>>

We’re not allowed to import European rollmops into Tasmania, unless they somehow end up in the waterways and infect the farmed fish. It’s all a bit surreal.

unless = in case :)

I’m wandering off bedwards, on a beautifully cool and calm autumn night.

I know,

I miss the countryside every day. I have no doubt that Tasmania is the most beautiful part of Australia and in all probability, the planet.

I don’t miss the benighted, rednecked, bogan wankers who feel the need to kill or cut down everything in sight.

Instead, I’m in FNQ which is full of benighted, rednecked, bogan wankers who feel the need to kill or cut down everything in sight.

they carry fish diseases our fish have no built up immunity to. Same thing happened a decade or so ago when SA tuna farmers feed imported feed to their caged fish, the disease got into the local pilchard population and stuffed them.

I can’t find any references to that. I wonder what diseases can be present in pickled fish?

These comments do not seem humorous.

Rollmops can be quite entertaining in a funny way. You just have to give them a chance.

I like to give them a slow cook with potatoes and cheese. A Swedish favourite.

Viral diseases.

Why do people pick on Gillard? She’s just been rated As 4th Best Prime Minister Ever.

A Canberra study group recently released its findings as to the best of the 27 Prime Ministers of Australia. Gillard has been rated as the 4th best Prime Minister ever: Menzies and 5 others tied for first; 11 Prime Ministers tied for second; 9 tied for third; and Gillard came in fourth.

World’s best ice-racing instructor, Kimi Raikkonen,

Dunno why that didn’t link properly …

Gillard goes on a State visit to Israel . While she is on a tour of Jerusalem ,she has a fatal heart attack.

The undertakers tells the OZ diplomats: “You can have her shipped home for $1 million or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $1000.”

The OZ diplomats go into a huddle and come back to the undertaker and tell him they still want Gillard flown home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks: “Why would you spend $1 million to get her home when it would be wonderful to be buried here in this religious country and you would only spend $1000?”

One diplomat replied: “More than 2000 years ago a man died here, was buried here, and just 3 days later he rose from the dead. We simply can’t take that risk”.

*Less than 2000 years.

also being an atheist being buried in a “religious country” probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

Alan Jones reckons she died of shame.

apart from those points it wasn’t funny so fits perfectly with the tradition.

he hasn’t poked his head up for a while now.

Mickey Arthur’s latest homework assignment to his batsmen is a letter to the Queen…

Asking her advice on how do you get the runs so easily.

Mickey Arthur has pencilled in a batting clinic for tomorrow after the disasterous results of our batsmen.

The clinic coaches wil be Peter Siddle and Mitchell Starc.
