My comments on the blogs that I have deleted the spam on look so funny that I fear I may to consider leaving a replacement comment there or some such thing. I can’t help but wonder what future readers may think upon encountering such ‘spam-edited’ comments long after the spammer itself is a bad memory.   Consider the perfectly pleasant exchange being conducted on my comments which was rudely interrupted by the spammer. The next person to visit was infuriated at the st...

  If you are of marriageable age, chances are you will eventually get accosted by ‘well-meaning’ relatives loudly enquiring as to when you will finally get off the shelf and bag yourself a spouse ‘whilst you still have a chance’. I married at age 30 after fending off the above rude question for about a decade. Hence, I became rather adept at incorporating insults into my answers to said question. I have collected these responses over the years from various sources, and now present...

Here are some things you may wish to do during your working holiday to my homeland. Yes, they’re real jobs.

My hubby and I sometimes like to substitute like-sounding words in conversation, and we find it very amusing that nobody ever notices. He spilled a drink on my leg recently, and when I said "you did that on porpoise", my (visiting) mother didn't bat an eyelid. People for the most part just hear what they expect to hear. When we say "don't be shellfish" people hear "don't be selfish", and if we tell people we live near (what we think is) "the most beautiful bitch (beach) in Australia" they...

Do you laugh when people fall over ?. If you do, it's likely that you suffer from an affliction I term 'the sausage sense of humour' . (So named for its' symptoms of causing one to laugh at things that make others look at one as if perhaps one is demented . Or maybe something worse). The word 'sausage' should not be allowed in decent conversations. My persistently puerile sense of humour announces me as the goose that I am via my honking with laughter at the mere mention of the w...
