Virtual Romance. (A Modern Morality Tale).
There was a young woman whose suitor,
Treated her just like his computer,
She let him log-on,But she told him; 'Begone!',
Whenever he tried to reboot her.
There was a young man from PurdueWho was only just learning to screw,
But he hadn't the knack,
And he got too far back
In the right church, but in the wrong pew.
The limerick's callous and crude,
Its morals distressingly lewd;
It's not worth the reading By persons of breeding - It's designed for us vulgar and rude.

There was a young girl from Rabat,
who had triplets, Nat, Pat and Tat;
It was fun in the breeding,
But hell in the feeding,
When she found she had no tit for Tat

It was fun in the breeding,
But hell in the feeding,

Best city in Australia?
Sydney named the best place to live in Australia? Let's look at this : You cannot afford a house there unless you are loaded or willing to go into debt for life. Are the restaurants better? (Melbourne has equal if not better selection and in general cheaper than Sydney) Public Transport? Probably the worst in Australia. Major Events , name one. Theatre ,Arts ,Sports are all better down south, Beaches and climate go to Brisbane, sure Melbourne gets cold but our weather is not as erratic as Sydney's. All in all i would rather live here than there. Just my opinion though.
IN a shameful day for Sydneysiders, Auckland has been declared a better place to live than our fair city.
Sydney's relatively good position in the Worldwide Quality of Living Survey is overshadowed by the much higher ranking of our trans-Tasman rivals.
The Kiwis' large town came in at fith place in the study, conducted by human resources consultancy firm Mercer, while Australia's best city got a mere ninth.
At least we were ahead of Melbourne at 17, Perth at 21, Adelaide at 30 and Brisbane at 32. Wellington was at 12.
What do you think of the results? Which is the best city? Could the judges have been taking mind-altering drugs? Join the debate at Leah Creighton's objective, non-biased Sydney Is Best Blog.
The Quality of Living Survey is based on an evaluation of 39 criteria contributing to the overall livability of each city.
Mercer practice leader Rob Knox said most cities in Australia and New Zealand had remained consistent with last year's rankings.
"Major Australian cities continue to rank favourably against other cities from around the world from a quality of living perspective," he said today.
"They all offer a great selection of restaurants, are well-endowed with recreational facilities, have well-established transport infrastructure and provide a wonderful environment in which to raise families.
"They tend to rate favourably because they offer residents and visitors the full package."
The worst city to live in is Baghdad, and the second-worst is Brazzaville in the Congo.
The survey took political, social, economic and environmental factors, personal safety and health, education, transport and other public services into account.
It covered 215 cities, with each compared to New York.
Data for the survey was collected between September and November last year.

Diva wins pantie tanty action
Opera star Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has won a lawsuit filed against her after she refused to perform with John Farnham.
In evidence in court Dame Kiri had expressed her outrage when she saw a DVD showing women's underwear being thrown on stage during one of Farnham's concerts.
Leading Edge Events sued the New Zealand-born soprano, her company, her former agent Nick Grace and his company for breach of contract, breach of contractual warranty equities and misleading conduct after she pulled out of a series of concerts with the pop singer in 2005.

Easy ride for pop retreads
* It's rush hour on the comeback trail for pop's big names of the 1970s and '80s, writes Polly Coufos
* March 17, 2007
WHEN the Police announced a world tour to coincide with the 30th anniversary of their founding, there was little doubt the band, fronted by Sting and as noted for its internal friction as its catalogue of reggae-influenced rock, was in line for a big payday.
Last month tickets went on sale for the band's first US stadium shows, which are so far running through to late September. Australian dates are expected but have not been confirmed. With tickets ranging from $US50 to $US225 ($63-$315), most shows were immediate sellouts and already there are estimates that the tour will bring in more than $US175 million. That's a lot of reasons to bury the hatchet.
They could take a leaf from the Eagles' book. The California country-rock hit-makers split in 1980 with such acrimony that lead singer Don Henley said the band would reform only when hell froze over. Hell didn't freeze but there was a definite thaw, as the winged ones have enjoyed a series of stupendously successful tours (their 2004 Australian tour was called Farewell I, having a bet each way).

Rebels of the sun
* The science of how global warming occurs has become crucial to our economy. So why are dissenting explanations of the sun's influence on our fate being pushed aside, asks environment writer Matthew Warren
* March 17, 2007
IT says a lot about the complexity of climate science that we can put a man on the moon but we still can't predict the weather beyond the next few days. The warming of the planet, and man's contribution to this phenomenon, has become the top scientific issue of this generation.
Science by its very nature is an argument. But apparently not this one any more. Yet a minority of scientists are still lining up to challenge the accepted wisdom with their claim that global warming is being principally driven by the sun, not by human activity.
The mainstream view is that an accumulation of greenhouse gases, mostly due to human activity, is trapping too much of the sun's heat within our atmosphere. But the rebels against this dominant view suggest massive variations in the sun's heat radiation are far more influential in warming than accumulating greenhouse gases.

Arsenic and old lace
Two women charged over poisoning
- February 27, 2007
A 74-year-old woman and a 59-year-old woman have been charged over the fatal poisoning of an elderly man on Sydney's north shore.
The body of the 71-year-old man was found in the lounge room of a house in Cammeray on March 22 last year.Toxicology results showed the presence of a barbiturate drug not available in Australia, police said.
A 74-year-old Lane Cove woman and a 59-year-old Cammeray woman were arrested today by detectives attached to Strike Force Kowandi, established to investigate the death.
Both were interviewed at North Sydney Police Station and charged with murder.
They were refused bail and will appear in Manly Local Court later today.
leukemia
This week I decide, should I shave my head or colour it to raise money for the leukemia foundation? When I say shave I will not have it shaved smooth but get a number one or two cut and the colour is out of a can. At the end of the day it's not about me getting a shave or colour, it’s about raising money. So lets see what the pros and cons are pro. Shave - no need to shampoo or buy shampoo saving money and water. Pro -no need to comb hair. Cons - if it cold my head gets cold or if it’s hot I cant go into the sun.
Colour pros - washes out after a few washes - get to keep what hair I have. Cons - stains the pillow, might burn the skin. Messy.
