Social distancing for vehicles

COVID-19 has enforced governments to put sanctions in place for our own safety, and I don’t think anyone can argue with that. But when this is over…and it will be at some point, I would like to see at least one of the sanctions to remain…sort of… It’s not the 1.5 metres for people – but to transfer this rule to vehicles, albeit with a distance change (1.5 metres is of course too close). There has been less vehicles on the road. And I am sure I can’t be the only one who is enjoying the fact that there is less traffic on the roads. It was... [Read the full story]

I miss my beloved cricket

As you may or may not know, I specialise in cricket. I am dumb-founded by the continued coverage of racing, and yet we are denied games of cricket. If you take away the actual appearance at a cricket match…unless you are India or Pakistan, it’s Boxing Day in Australia, the World Cup,or the Ashes you have a very small number of people at the game – certainly less than at a race meeting either dogs or horses. There is not just one meeting but a great number of races all over the country. The Virus is said to affect mostly older people but our cricketers are young... [Read the full story]

He’s Hot

Hi there, Yes, it’s been years (literally years!) since I’ve had the pleasure of looking through photos to put something on Ozzie News…and I became a bit exited about this… I saw the recent She’s Hot, and there was almost a labia sticking out of her bikini – so I decided to push the boat out…just a little. When I saw this photograph I just couldn’t help myself. I saw a bit of a scrotum (I love a scrotum), and just had to sneak it in. I know…the photo is a kind of artistic, but to be honest I couldn’t care less –... [Read the full story]

Keith Richards best ‘fuck-off’ riffs

If rock’n’roll could be turned into flesh and made to walk the earth, it would look and sound a lot like Keith Richards. It’s not the skull ring, the elegantly wasted appearance or the chemically-enchanced bloodstream that does it – although that all helps – but the fact that he has an unerring knack of hoovering up pretty much all of the greatest guitar riffs ever written. But what are the candidates? He’s cheated death more times than can be imagined..so, here are some of my personal selections – and believe me, it’s only the beginning. 12‘Start Me Up’ One of Keith’s... [Read the full story]

Adam the Atheist – Lessons from the Bible

Hello. My name is Adam (it really is). My surname isn’t Atheist, but I am an atheist…and for good a reason. I am just a normal person that doesn’t believe in religious shit – please…keep reading. Here’s a strange story from the Bible that doesn’t regularly get air-play. This is a most bizarre tale from Genesis, with its utterly bemusing explanation of the genetic code. Basically, Laban is taking all of Jacob’s beloved striped and spotted cattle. Jacob is left with boring old, plain-coloured cattle, which he doesn’t seem to like at all. So Jacob concocts...

The on-going saga of Harry and Megs

They are not going to give interviews with certain newspapers – why? What is so important that they make this information necessary for us to listen to and digest when the current situation is about a pandemic? I cannot understand the mind set of Harry – brought up a Royal with the standard shown...

Alfred Hitchcock and his Birds

Behind the camera, his pendulous lips exhaling bad breath and extraordinarily obscene jokes in a lugubrious Cockney accent, stood the corpulent figure of Alfred Hitchcock, acknowledged as cinema’s master of murder, mayhem and suspense. In front of the camera, poised, elegant, remote, and seemingly unattainable,...

Wearing red is guaranteed to pull chicks

Men wanting to catch the eye of women should dress in red, a colour that new research shows makes them more alluring to the opposite sex. Women in the United States, England, Germany and China said they found men pictured wearing red, or framed in red, more sexually attractive than in other colours, the research published...
