Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.

Quiet, piggy.

“god works in mysterious ways”

Vegemite. That first heady whiff of yeast and salt when you open a new jar.

If you’re willing to take the risk of an extended stopover in El Salvador.

I had a girlfriend who could put a lit cigarette in (just the filter), suck in smoke, and fart out the smoke. I wonder if it was the same girl. Are you from Australia?

Sorry, these are in English:

• Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel
• Great Southern Land by Icehouse
• Sounds of Then (This is Australia) by Gangajang

Seriously, I do this too! Then after my shower I’ll come back and take a photo with my phone so I don’t lose it.

I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. That’s good enough for me.

I hadn’t heard that, thanks, I’ll check it out.

• Cookie Autodelete
• I don’t care about cookies

Hard boiled eggs, sliced thin like salami.

I’m so lucky to have had cancer in Australia and not the USA.

My chemo cost AUD$28,000 a month for two years (but as an Australian citizen I didn’t pay that much). So either more than that or as much as the drug companies can gouge, or both.

When I was working at a follow-the-Sun help desk, and had a micromanaging boss, we used this planner to book daily meetings across three different timezones.

Having a reason to give up gave me willpower.

My wife at the time was pregnant with our first child. I decided that if the kid wanted to smoke, he could make that choice when he was old enough, but I didn’t want him to grow up seeing that smoking was normal and usual. So I quit cold turkey, Easter Sunday, 1996.

“Boys will be boys”

So he lied!?

In the new ballroom.
