Have yourself a Trashy Little Christmas!

December 23, 2013

Bad-Family-Christmas-Card

Hi friends,

As we approach the end of yet another year, I would like to thank youse all for your fun, friendship and contributions over the last twelve months.

It’s been an eventful year, and no doubt next year will be full of its own surprises.

John Howard once said that the times would suit him, and indeed they did, right up until the point that they didn’t.

Whether Tony Abbott goes on to endure the same longevity remains to be seen, but somehow I doubt it.

Anyway, I don’t want this message to be sidetracked by our political differences.

Happy Christmas everyone!

cheers

reb.

    All the best Blogmasta.

    Noticed Virgin is going to supply free meals on some flights between Sydney and Melbourne, then I found this.

    ‘A Ryanair flight attendant allegedly launched an angry tirade at a passenger, screaming ‘F*** off’, after the man rejected a ‘rip-off’ snack.

    ‘Nadir Morris was shocked when the steward asked for £4.20 in return for two crackers and a piece of cheese, The Sun reported.

    The father-of-two politely returned the snack but was met with the livid response, it was claimed.

    ‘A male flight attendant repeatedly screamed ‘F*** you’ at passenger Nadir Morris after he politely refused a ‘rip off’ snack. File picture

    ‘Mr Morris, told The Sun, the steward immediately retaliated, telling him: ‘This money helps pay for your cheap flights.’

    Ah the humanity as someone here says often.

    All that is missing is the antlers.

    Up early for a day of Christmas toil.

    I have decided there are two groups of people at this time: those who provide Christmas cheer and those who tuck in the napkin and receive.

    Guess which type finds herself in the kitchen at 5 am?

    But I am currently fortifying self with fav breakfast. Lightly charred white with Vegemite.

    Again Happy Christmas all and thanks for making me laugh.

    May enlightenment fall upon Egg in the coming year.

    ‘FRANCIS of Assisi, the early 13th century Italian saint invented the first crib. The Christmas image we take for granted had not existed before then.’

    December 26, 2013 7:05 am

    St Francis was an Image Maker of celestial calibre.

    Until I read the Archbishop Pell quote I had had no idea that St Francis had invented the crib.

    He took a complex, metaphysical idea, distilled it to essential essence and popularized it.

    How evocative and meaningful it must have been to illiterate folk in 13th century Italy.

    It has stayed with us through the centuries.

    And Pope John Paul declared him to be the patron saint of ecology.

    St Francis had ideas about the environment that were centuries ahead of his time.

    He is a very attractive figure.

    ‘The advert by Calderdale Council shows an injured blonde woman covered in dirt and carrying her shoes, with the slogan: ‘Night of the reckless drunk.’

    ‘Female rights activists are claiming the advert shifts the blame towards rape victims, as it continues: ‘When you drink too much you lose control and put yourself at risk.’

    ‘The festive season campaign has outraged activists who feel the council is ‘helping rapists’ with their approach.

    ‘The only ones being helped by the anti-rape campaign poster from Calderdale Council are rapists and the only ones who can stop rape are rapists,’ said Karen Ingala Smith.

    ‘There is no other crime in which victim’s are made to take responsibility.’
