Victim Hoodie

It's astounding. The feral lay-abouts run amok, torching neighbourhood shops, looting plasma flatscreens and assorted 'life essentials', engage in some light killing and maiming and the usual left-wing clap trap gets brought out again. 'They only wanted a platform, they are demanding a voice, it's society what gone and made them do it.' Basically, the bizarre logic seems to be that the ones who are culpable are not the actual perpetrators, but rather the hard-working middle classes (so despised by English left-wing chattering classes) who pay taxes and have some ambition and a modicum of morality.

It amazes me that the likes of the ABC here in Australia, of course the BBC and the Guardian in the UK, are so keen on turning the wayward feral youths into victims, thus removing all sense of accountability from these groups. Perhaps some are 'disadvantaged'. Would that be a reason perhaps for such an individual to get off their video-game wielding arse, pick up a course or learn a trade and make something of themselves, possibly in spite of the odds? Listening to the liberal geniuses, the obvious course of action is rather to get your mates together and smash the windows of your local shop, loot anything valuable, taking care to destroy as much as possible on the way and then as a final parting gesture torch the livelihood of some hard-working small business man/woman/family. That kind of logic bodes well for the future. Not..

Geek News

Don't you just love the internet? Well, do you? I know I do and I make no bones about, far from it, in fact. The web has just made so many things so much easier and that is in no way an exageration, I think you must surely agree with me on that score. Once upon a time if you needed a phone number for a business in a bit of a hurry you would need to scramble for a telephone directory, hoping you would possess a copy of its most recent edition and thumb your weary way around countless irrelevant and ultimately useless entries before happening on the one number you did, in fact, need.

These days, all the information you could want, or need, is right there, a tap and a click away. Check out, for instance this Geeky Gadgets Site for some outstanding online content and you will in no time see what I am indeed talking about.

Whether it may be an Apple Store coupon or some other switched on or geek-like treasure of goody, it's all right there on this fabulous and quirky site.

If I were you, I honestly would not waste any more precious time and head over to Geekalerts.com for a quick look at what you have been missing out on until now. Check out great Vistaprint coupons and a wealth of news and geeky tips and insights now!

MacMacMac

Just invested in a new iMac as I was getting fed up with Microsoft's user-unfriendly products. I just hated how things on Microsoft just never quite work properly. There is always a glitch or some adjustment needed or patch required. Annoying. So far, I'm really impressed with my iMac. It's just much more intuitive and seems to 'like' the user, if that makes sense..

Lalala

Work is fine, I sometimes tend to think it is a four letter word but, all in all, it's a good feeling to be employed and to take care of my family. I wake up early and start work at 7AM. You get used to it, no worries. And my colleagues are, on the whole, a nice group of people with whom to work. So, all in all, I pay my bills and enjoy my job, that's not bad going in my book..

Palm Beach

Autumnal

Autumn has, up until now, been marvellous and no mistake. Warm, clear days when the sun was still balmy and those lovely blue Sydney skies. Today, though, was altogether different. Stormy winds and a coldish chill. I even noticed some brown leaves in piles along the street on my way home. This is too much like Europe and not at all what I had signed up for when I landed in Botany Bay...
