And if John Barrowman from Torchwood and Doctor Who was the best they could do for “talent” then good grief.

Ewan McGregor and Billy Connelly popped up via recorded links, Rod Stewart came for a sing along and for the love of God, Susan Boyle stuffed the first line of Mull of Kintyre.

Here in Aus we have what’s known as the School Spectacular. It’s where New South Wales school kids get together once a year in the entertainment centre and put on a performance for friends, family and general show-goers. It’s also shown on tv.

Below are two pics, the first is from the opening of the Comm Games, the second is from a School Spec. See the similarities? The Comm Games opening was a disappointment, but clearly only the best that Scotland could do. Not something I’d be proud of putting on.

 

Well peeps, the Queensland floods are receding, the state is getting back to normal, but unfortunately Victoria is now copping their share of floods but who’s helping them?

Our unfortunate Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has decided that talking to people and patting their hands or arms is the best way to go.

Unlike our opposition leader, Tony Abbott and his deputy, Julie Bishop who made sandwiches and helped fill sand bags and got in and did stuff. And our old Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, who Julia back-stabbed last year for his job, he got in and helped people. He even told the reporter he was talking to to get in there and help out. “Don’t just stand there,” he said.

And then there’s Anna Bligh, Qland’s premier. Apparently she was lagging in the polls and no one liked her anymore because she’d driven Qland into the ground financially and every which way, but now she’s so popular again.

Why?

She hasn’t done anything except do a news conference every hour and tell the army and SES services to get in there and clean up.

She’s done nothing herself. Not made sandwiches, not filled sand bags, not gone into someone’s home and helped clean up.

SHE’S DONE NOTHING!!!!!

And neither has Julia.

They both gave 10 million to the relief fund, but considering Anna gets a good few million in g.s.t from Qland tax payers and Julia gives away 16 billion to foreign aid (every other pissin country that doesn’t need our money) then they really could’ve given more.

Julia could give the 16 billion to OUR country for once and help us out instead of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Indonesia. Spend it here!

George Negus, an Aussie reporter who’s been around for decades asked Julia why she doesn’t spend the 16 bill foreign aid here in the country to help recover and she didn’t know what to say. She flailed and waved her hands around and went on the attack because she thought she was being attacked.

YOU DON’T KNOW THE FIRST MEANING OF ATTACK. WAIT TILL YOU MEET ME!!!

Don’t vote Anna Bligh back in because she’s sticking by the state. She’s driven it into the ground and will continue to do so if she’s voted back in.

As for Julia, let’s get rid of her!

 

 

 

Well peeps, I’m still sick and Australia is still under water.

The inland tsunami swept through Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, yesterday and took boats, restaurants and even a concrete walkway with it.

The water is slowly receeding in Ipswich and other places, and the hunt for people missing or dead is now on.

Brisbane is flooded. Businesses are closed and flooded, houses are under or being washed away.

All the reporters are there from every channel, reporting just about 24/7. Normal programming has been changed through the day but for some, who cares. The morning shows extend their coverage through the morning and into the afternoon.

As for me, I cannot watch too much of any disaster. It’s not that I don’t care or have sympathy, it’s just that my psyche can only take so much at one time.

And being sick as a dog, it’s even worse.

I know celebrities are sending their well wishes, although really, why do we need to be in Justin Bieber’s prayers, and the devastation is being broadcast worldwide. You’ll see it for yourselves somewhere peeps.

This disaster will take years and billions of dollars to recover from, and it will be even worse if it rains for the next month, sending even more water down the country. New South Wales is also being affected as the water rushes down the rivers and who knows, Victoria may be next.

 

 

This is Australia.

Half of the country is raging heat and bushfires, West Australia and South Australia, and the rest is under water.

Cyclone weather sucks. They start in far north Queensland and the flood water is gushing down the country with speed that would make your head spin. The water’s gone from far north to Brisbane, the capital, in a matter of days. Brissie will get it today, and it’s sure to keep going to the Gold Coast and down through New South Wales.

 

 

 

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the country, not a creature was stirring because of the wild weather….

Say what!!!!!

That’s right peeps, it’s Monday. The Monday before Christmas. The week before Christmas and the weather is NUTS!!!!!

N.U.T.S!!!!!!

I’ts raining, it’s flooding, it’s freezing, it’s hot, it’s cold, it’s bloody NUTS!!!! It’ll be snowing next. Although Queensland did have snow at xmas a few years ago.

Hope you’re warm, or cold, depending on where you are. And try and have a happy Christmas wherever you are.
