Happy New Year, one and all.  I would just like to add that I was the one who handed over a wad of 50 dollar notes for the X box/ Guitar Hero package.  The good thing is that we were able to put the DVD player on the other TV as the xbox doubles as a dvd player for the kids' tv, if that makes sense, which it probably doesn't!  That nine msn is utter, utter, utter trash.  It's all part of a social engineering program to render people ignorant and apathetic, thereby making it easier for the totalitarian dictators to gain total control of the universe.  Dr Evil is behind the whole thing.  I heard this morning on the radio that the cattlemen who were kicked out of the Barmah forest will receive no compensation, but the timberworkers who have been put out of a job will.  It's good to know that the Labor Government are so committed to working with farmers, isn't it?!  Meanwhile, the greenies who so desparately fought to 'save the forest' are conveniently ignorant of the fact that thousands of trees have been sacrificed to make way for the ns pipeline, but I guess there's no political gain in protesting about that.  I'm such a cynical old bitch these days!  I'm really quite a nice person, actually, but then even the nicest people on this earth have their dark sides.
