What More Could A Man Want?
Channel Nine’s new factual lifestyle TV show “Money For Jam” premiered last night, and featured an Aussie invention that was just so much fun, it deserved a mention here.
One of the segments featured a guy who turned his love of beer (a great Aussie pasttime) into a fully fledged business!
Tanked Drinkwear is a new clothing product range designed for the drinking enthusiast 
The clothing incorporates a built-in twist top bottle opener into the mens and womens tops and shorts.
The hats also have a twist top/ pop top bottle opener built into them.
And the shorts even include a tear-off stubbie cooler cleverly disguised as a pocket!
Really… What more could a man want? and almost in time for Father’s day this weekend…
Money For Jam also features some “easy” ways to make and/or save money… Last night, the amount of money they showed that can be saved on lunches was astronomical, and great food for thought!
Watch it, Wednesday nights at 8.00pm
Curtain Fading Time Again - Daylight Savings Is BACK!
It’s the time of year that Queenslander’s dread (sorry) when us southerners adjust our clocks and have an extra hour of daylight up our sleeves.
And to make it worse (for them), it’s starting earlier and finishing later than ever before!
In the ACT, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, daylight savings begins this coming weekend, at 2.00am EST on Sunday October 5th. And this time, it goes right through to 3.00am on Sunday 5 April 2009.
In Western Australia, they begin their 3rd and final “trial” year of daylight savings on 26th October, and it ends for them at 3.00am on Sunday 29th March 2009.
If, like me, you have difficulty remembering whether the clocks go forward or back, then just remember this little gem!
Spring forward… (clocks go forward)
Fall (as in Autumn) back. (clocks go back)
And you’ll never be lost for time again!
That is… unless you live in Queensland or the Northern Territory… but you guys get enough sun up there, so you really don’t want any more!!!
Great Fish Here Man…
These guys (and gals?) were captured at lunchtime today outside the Fish Co-op at Laurieton, on the mid-north coast of NSW (just 4.5 hrs north of Sydney, and 30mins south of Port Macquarie).
The weather was a little on the chilly side, so they were probably waiting for their order of hot fish to “go”.
Obviously, there’s some pretty good fish and chips available here… or at least, these pelicans seem to think so!
P.S. Hey Laurieton’s not a bad place to visit… I oughta know ‘cos I now live here
