Lost Tribe Found
Here we are in the 21st century and you would think everything there was to be found explored or conquered had been done. Then something like this happens and you have to think to yourself just how big the world we live in actually is
Huge low offshore
There is going to be a LOT of rain this weekend, woo hoo. Just don't flood my downstairs bedroom please.

Zombie walk 08
So it was Zombie walk on the weekend, but I bet you knew that, right? Anyhoo, my son Doc and Ruby-girl joined in the fun, having a great laugh and walking with 1500 other 'zombies' in Brisbane. Ruby went as 'housewife zombie' and Doc went as nerdy zombie, or something like that. Much fun.
My Patty-cakes
I bought my daughter-in-law a mixmaster, and she made these lemon curd cakes as a thankyou. She called them 'Patty's cakes"
lol.

Quick Chicken and Corn soup
Tear flesh off bbq chook sitting forgotten in back of fridge. Make tiger sounds "like a tiger!"
Have glass of wine.
Half fill large saucepan with water, add 2 big chicken stock cubes, diced chook, BIG heaped spoons of both ginger and garlic (don't pussyfoot around, make them big)
Add fresh corn shaved off the cob, shake chilli powder over pot, add Tabasco, look hesitant.
At this point it is important to adapt recipe to suit your own needs, so if married with kids, yell at them mindlessly "Come inside! Go outside! Do your homework! Empty the bins"
If you are single, mutter things about your mother.
If you want to make this soup for the next day, add 1/2 cup pearl barley.
Bring to rapid boil. Keep tasting and adjusting chilli, Tabasco sauce to taste. Add, taste.
Toss in a good shake of soy sauce, and one more for luck.
Add fresh ground black pepper, add spagetti broken up.
Boil/simmer for another 10 mins.
Make wimpering slurping sounds and say "How good is this?" a lot.
Enjoy!

Yes China is moving along nicely now but they still have a long way to go.WOKS wrong with them? This reads of a Benny Hill script.
Beijing Olympics guide on Paralympians
DISABLED people can be unsocial, stubborn, controlling, and defensive according to an official
Beijing Olympics guide.
The Olympic manual for volunteers in Beijing is peppered with patronising comments, noting for example that physically disabled people are "often" mentally healthy.
Volunteers at the Olympics and Paralympics are instructed not to call Paralympians or disabled spectators "crippled" or "lame", even if they are "just joking
Volunteers at the Beijing Games are also given some very specific instructions on how to sit, stand, walk and talk properly.
A handshake should last from three to five seconds, the manual states, and the body and arm should form a 60 degree angle.
An "appropriate" personal space on social occasions is from 1.2 to 3.6 metres, but for work colleagues it is 1.2 to 2.1 metres, and 2.1 to 3.6 metres is good for strangers.
When sitting, volunteers are told to avoid hooking the chair with one foot ("low-class and boorish"), stretching out their legs ("rough"), crossing the legs in a "4" shape ("cocky and impolite") and continually changing positions ("underbred").
When standing, the guide warns against shaking any part of the body ("careless"), putting two hands in pockets ("frivolous"), crossing both arms ("defensive"), standing with two arms or one arm akimbo ("offensive") and standing with two legs crossed ("too easygoing").
It says taking steps too large or too small looks "strained", though it does not specify how large the step should be.
