My truly great driver’s licence photo is on file with Vicroads! So I don’t have to risk a new one (but paid $17.30 for the privilege on my brand spanking new, increased limit, credit card.) I do have to have a new photo done for my Uni card however – but, trust me, the only […]

Or what comes out of idle office chatter over a cup of tea and the newspaper … If there was ever a man who could use an hour or so with Carson, Kyan and Thom et. al. of “Queer Eye …” fame it’s Saddam Hussein. He’s looking pretty rough in all the pictures which have […]
