Celebrating 9 years of poor spilling and no good grammar

Do you think owning and or trading shares is a form of gambling?

Why or why not?

Written on July 29th, 2011 , audience participation, general chit chat

Well if it wasn’t exciting enough celebrating the new financial year, you now get to celebrate 9 years of this blog this month.

So I’ve had a fiddle with the template, what do you think?

Like a garage sale only different

It’s no secret that me and wife love DVDs and that our collection is quite large.

We have a policy of only buying stuff that we think we will enjoy watching several times and if possible only buy it on sale.

But as we review our collection there are a few that we probably don’t need anymore.

So we would like to get rid of them (with some monies in return) – they are all in super condition and bought legally.

All you have to do is leave a comment stating which one(s) you want, then I’ll email you and we can sort out the $$$. We are not expecting top dollar but just a bit like you would in a second hand DVD sale.

$1, $2, $750 we don’t care, although if you don’t live near us please make your price at least enough to cover postage.

(please don’t be offended if we are getting rid of stuff you gave us)

have you tried turning it off

A while ago we bought a DVD we already own thinking we didn’t own it, I unwrapped the packaging in excitement thus deeming it un-returnable.

So It’s time to give it away.

The IT Crowd version 3.0

But how could this funny DVD be yours?

I was thinking the first person to offer me a genuine job but think that is a bit far fetched and also I don’t want to clean your toilet.

So instead the DVD will go to the first person to answer this question correctly.

How many paid jobs have I had (Including fusion) ?

money

If you inherited $1 million thta had to be given to charities, who would you give it to and why?

If you had to spend all the money in your bank in the next 24 hours, what would you do with your money?

8th Birthday

The old blog is about to turn 8 years old.

change of tact

Seeing as no one cares about my post to win Casino Royale on DVD I’m going to modify the competition so that I can get rid of the DVD.

In case you are wondering, I don’t think it’s a crap film, I just have 2 copies of it. 1 brand new and one old and i’m giving away the new one, that’s how selfless I am.

So to score the DVD just be the 5th person to comment on this post. Not the 5th comment the 5th individual to comment so you can’t just comment 5 times in a row you dodgy, shifty bastards.

bloody westfield facebook status’s

I hate it when everyone on facebook has the same status and it’s all to do with some company or promotion.

Anyway the current one is about winning a $10,000 westfield gift card.

If you won what would you buy?

question time

The following are questions that you may like to answer, they are questions I don’t know the answer to but I have come up with them from a bunch of different conversations i’ve had with a bunch of different people lately.

How did a multinational company spending millions on marketing let isnack2.0 out of the office?
Why is cityrail releasing a new timetable that will make travel times longer and increase the need for people to change trains mid journey?
Why is the Government being so soft on climate change and increasing aid to 0.7% of GNI by 2015?
Why does sticking my finger in my ear guarantee a little chunk of wax on my finger on removal even if the last time I put my finger in was only a few minutes ago?
Why is there such a desire by Christians and church’s to plant more churches when the ones we have are not full?
Has my street always been noisy or is it just since i’ve had a son?
Why is the church in Sydney spending so much money on a marketing campaign that didn’t work in other cities?
Why do most people think the only way to combat poverty is to sponsor a child and go overseas for 2 weeks with a hammer?
Why do nose hairs keep poking out the bottom of my nose even though i pluck them?
Why do i always feel the need to intersperse silliness amongst serious conversation?
