I've only seen an underwater puke a couple of times, and that was down to students who went out on the piss the night before (against my warnings) and had hangovers. Luckily both times were just in 5m confined water.

I get sea sick watching kelp go back and forth. Soon as the boat stops, even in a lagoon, I start getting sick so first in, last out.
 
Last night we were delighted with our footy team in Perth. About 10,000 stayed away believing the Dockers were going to get thumped.
 
Wedding hiccup no 1. :)

we are staying at Jaspers the night before the wedding and they don't have any dinner facilities, so Ms FM thought it would be nice to go into Nowra with the Jasper contingent meet up with other family members and have dinner together. I was concerned given it was Good Friday, so asked her to find a restaurant and make a booking, She made a booking for 25 about 3 weeks ago and even discussed a possible set menu to make it easier.

Yesterday was talking to a friend and suggested he make a booking as well and join in. He phoned today and said he was told they were closed on Good Friday. He told them he thought they already had a booking for 25. Oh yes they said we made a mistake - we have been meaning to phone and tell them......:) :)
 
I believe the nowra golf club is always open at that time. I think they do a seafood buffet?

Alternative nice food is the Wharf rd Restaurant and Bar. They should be open Fri 14/4 too

thank-you yes - we have just found the Nowra Golf club - it looks nice and safe. Quite a lot of the restaurants are closed which is to be expected.

A long time coming. Was it 1999 they were talking about Sergio winning many Majors? Here's hoping many more to come now he's broken through.

we got an unrefurbed 747 (without old F), on the way back from South Africa 2 years ago. Worst sleep ever - Neck was totally aching. Still better than nothing I guess.

RIP John Clarke

A very funny man

Satirist John Clarke, of Clarke and Dawe fame, dies aged 68 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

I remember watching him when he was on A Current Affair hosted by Jana Wendt. She was nearly out of control laughing at John and Brian. Apparently they left there when it was realised that the audience, whilst enjoying the segment didn't really understand it in its entirety.

John was a brilliant writer and with other writers gave us some absolutely classic Australian entertainment and satire.
