But quite the comeback for SA, when the commentators were so sure the Aussies were going to get past 200 ...
-
This young bloke Warner the Aussies have picked for the 20-20 seems pretty hot too -- for a guy who's never played a first-class game ...

The Creation Museum would make a great double bill with The Holy Land Experience in Florida (daily reenactments of the Passion of the Christ!).
OMG. Just saw it in Religulous (friends from America style). The guy who plays Jesus in the Passion re-enactments gives a better account of of himself than most believers in the film. He's kind of cool.

Oddly enough, Graham's post made Blog of the Week in the Herald on Sunday, including his PS:
PS. Five or so hours after I made this post I have checked back on the discussion thread. While I am bemused at the tangents and disappointed by the profanity and seemingly personal insults being tossed, I would like to make a small point.
I wasn't objecting to people texting at concerts (hell, you want to pay all that money to be in the real world but watch your postage stamp screen then knock yourself out) but just asking what could be so imperative that at such a time it needed to be conveyed?
I will have my phone at the BDO and may well even use it, but at a sit-down concert, or the movies?
So despite the vitriol, insults, oblique comments and so forth in the thread I am still no wiser with regard to the questions I actually posed. Anybody care to stay on-topic?
Or fail to do so?

Gotcha, Russell. Apology extended.
No worries. I think it was the weather.

I make a point of giving as good as I get, Craig - that is, yes, a cultural trait.
Except in this case, your retaliation was pre-emptive.
There was no reason for you to call Craig "an insufferable bore" when he had simply expressed an opinion on the question posed by the original post and quoted an article by a columnist you don't like. He then proceeded to over-react in reply. I'd be obliged if both of you were to chill out on the personal stuff.

Fantastic. And I love the fact that you signed up to a blog commenters' community in order to share it with us!
And the least you could do is visit James' MySpace to say thank you.

My missus was on medication that had dry mouth as a side effect, she swore by, and I made them endlessly, lime, lemonade and bitters. The lime for acidity (helped by the bubbles in the lemonade) and the bitters add astringency.
Thanks Peter -- most informative. This seem to be what I'm after in most beverages.

Ha! what is going on with the italics?
I've asked Matt to look at it. I've also noticed that the italic formatting no longer works in quoted text.

Strangely Normal are unique, and I love 'em.
Ditto. They've done me a couple of shirts for the TV show and hopefully there'll be more (yes, there's a wee bit of waiting going on).
It was only this Christmas (crazy pre-Xmas Swanndri sale) that I officially retired the Strangely Normal winter jacket I must have been wearing for eight or nine years.
