I realise that for many people, 2008 has been a bit of a pooey year. I guess we have to take the good with the bad. There are always folk worse off than us, however, and we should think about them at this time of the year.
Let us hope 2009 contains blessings and uplifting moments for us all.
So, as the lights come on on Christmas eve in Australia; may the sparkling eyes and smiling face of the new-born baby Jesus give us everlasting joy, and remind us of our new birth in Him.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Americans give (our) Rove a job - they must be mad
Australian "comedian" (I use the word advisedly) Rove McManus, has apparently landed a gig on prime time US TV. I said it on November 4, and I'll say it again now: God help America. I might also add: what were they thinking?!
The fact that in Australia McManus is a multiple Logie (Emmy equivalent) award-winning personality, testifies more to the dearth of talent in the field of light entertainment in Australia, than it does to McManus' abilities.
Men's Style Australia magazine, in its October 2005 issue, commented on McManus' Aussie TV show at the time, Rove Live:

Variety at its vomitous nadir. Rove Live is big stars answering weak questions badly asked, strung together with charades, chintz and banal chiackery. A national embarrassment.A resounding 'hear, hear' from me.

Apparently Alan Jones' home is a private hospital
My best wishes to 2GB's Alan Jones as he recovers from brain surgery, undertaken last week at a private Sydney hospital; NOT where reported in the The Daily Telegraph today:
Alan Jones will be taking it entirely easy for the next month as he recovers from brain surgery at his Southern Highlands home.
I'm Back
Well, actually, I haven't been away, but I have been think of way to re-jig this blog. I will give it some thought over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, in keeping with the mood of the season, I will post little tidbits of non-serious stuff.
