Yoink! We’ll be back in a jiffy…
The trouble with sports? You can get injured - and I recently got just that. I dislocated my knee and have had to have some time off, you know how it is when your kneecap is on the wrong side of your leg, it’s not that fun. Painful even.
So I am back, now that I can type and sit and do all those things that pain won’t let you do.
On the web I read a rumour somewhere that One Dollar Jackpot is closing the ‘25 words or less’ competition in 16 jackpots time.
Why would someone do that?
I forgot to update the front page yesterday, so you can kindly have another day to play 
Or I may lay by the bay,
and make things out of clay.
What do you say?
I just may.
There once was a guy called Ray
Who came past my house to say
He sat on his bum
and twiddled his thumb
He had lost the other one eh?
That’s for all you Canadians eh?
Why not enter today’s competition? It’s not hard - all you have to do is create a poem with the use of the word ‘eh?’
Unless someone goes back in time and uncreates the universe (hello Bunjamin) I think there may be some headlines coming up in the newspapers. What could they be I wonder?.
You have just 32 jackpots remaining.
Ever gotten a bad present? My late grandmother once gave me an awesome present for Christmas. It was a three pack of wire coat hangers. Believe me! One of my brother’s presents was a set of Allen Keys - he was pretty young then, maybe about 15? Who uses Allen keys when they’re 15?!
It was awesome going to her place for Christmas, we used to sit around with my cousins and laugh at all the horrible presents - we suspect she just had a cupboard of crap that used to get wrapped up at Christmas time, or she just got some things in the OpShop she used to work in during her later years. It really is something I remember with fondness. At least I remember the presents! Better than getting some present you forget about 10 seconds after getting it. Like that time I got that stuff I forget about. Maybe I should have asked my grandmother if she was doing it deliberately or not.
Here in Australia we’re having what our Prime Minister is calling a “20/20 Conference”. 1000 people picked by the government are getting together to think of long term things to help Australia into the future. Apparently you’re supposed to turn up with three ideas on how to make the country better long term. So I think it’s time that we had a 20/20 Conference ourselves.
I want to know - what would you do to your country that would make it better for the future? Be it environmental, social, political or just silly I don’t mind! The idea can be as simple as ‘ensuring that all politicians are graded at the end of the year and paid in accordance with how much they tell the truth‘ or something along those lines. Or maybe you’re creative and think…
The long term thing that’s best for us
Is to get rid of cars - and just catch the bus.
