Hi Moonlit! Well gosh darn no, I hadn't. It's a pity I can't spell nepotism because that's my new favourite word.
Guess what? I made it to Ballarat for one day (okay, maybe half a day) for work. Hope to have a longer visit in future. In the meantime, look out for my whacky colleagues, Dominic, Jarrod and Paula.. very good value! I'll look you up one day..

Plasmo. don't forget I'm in Bendigo not Ballarat!
And I messaged Angus the other night that I'm coming down to Melb on Friday & Saturday, the 15th & 16th of August for mum's 70th on Sat night. I wondered if you guys would like to catch a drink or a coffee or something on the Friday night.

To every idea a shelf...
Neither do celibate Catholic priests, for that matter.
And neither do couples that cannot/choose not to have children but get married anyway because marriage is about far more than having children and women are more than just baby-making machines.
Seriously. That is beyond appalling. Gay marriage is wrong because the law says it should be male/female? Like the law somehow represents the 'natural' state of things? Correct me if I'm wrong but not so long ago it was legal for men to rape their wives. Doesn't make it right.
I'm aware I'm preaching to the converted, it just makes me so mad.

Aahh, sorry. Must confess my sense of direction is terrible and I often get those confused. Very embarrasing considering I look after certain radio stations in both regions.
I would love to catch up on the Friday. I'm heading to Langkawai and return on the 15th early morning.. so if I've slept enough during the day I'll be up for it. Angus has my details. :)

Cool Plasmo, I'll email Angus.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

And how! Here in Canada we've had a bishop say to the media that Chrétien (the Prime Minister) is going to go to hell if he proceeds with legalizing same-sex marriage. To be fair, the council of bishops (or whatever it's called) responded by saying deciding who was going to hell was God's business, and that they wouldn't have said it. Still we have religious leaders putting pressure on the politicians, especially the Catholic ones.
It astounds me - can they not see that this is going to be yet another of those issues for which they'll be sheepishly apologising for at some point in the (not-so-distant) future? Grrrr.

Right. By that logic, plastic surgery and orthodonture should be considered fraud.
And who here can make the case for beer, spike heels, or skyscrapers furthering the survival of the species? Illegal, all of them.

As far as I'm aware, the survival of the species is not actually under threat in any case. Well, not from lack of procreation in any case.
Looking forward to a Victorian Buffistas F2F!

I know a lot of opposite sex marriages that won't be producing children, including my own. does that make my marriage any less legit?
Whoops!
