backup and stuff

No wonder the British music press are raving about Gabriella Cilmi. They need a rough voiced songstress to carry the torch should Amy Winehouse succeed in topping herself.

Charlton Heston has died. Sad I guess. I'll not remember him for the oscar he won 11 years before I was born but rather for his membership if the US national Rifle Association. Yeah, so Michael Moore has his own agenda and may have played up Hezza's lunacy, but really, Chuck did seem to be a bit of a twat. Quality piccie of the large fella on the Herald website.

Maybe tomorrow I'll slack some a work and put something in about the first Red Bull (shout out to the sponsor, of course...sigh) Sydney Flugtag, or nutters throwing themselves from a 6m high ramp into the Harbour. Bugger it, I'll do it now...reasonably entertaining though somewhat disappointing. We left early with plenty of competitors left to go after seeing the first handful jump, only a couple of them seeming to really want to get any distance. I like the nutters...but I want to see a few serious cracks at getting some distance to mix it up a bit. But this was the first event in Sydney so maybe it will inspire a few to enter next year and try to get close to the 60m record...
