Blogs1258 AD — the european summer that went AWOL...picture of Mount Rinjani, from google maps - 1258 AD — the summer that went AWOL... Science and the study of the record gives us a great insight into the past... in 1258, some historical chronicles of Europe tell us that the summer was crap. Worse than crap...

foot in mouth disease at the abbottoirs...

poor fellow, my country...It can be demonstrated that the Abbott government was only elected by default and a on a mountain of lies repeated through the press, especially the merde-och press... It can be demonstrated that the Abbott government is full of dumb people...
cooking with gas ....from Crikey …. Macfarlane swallows spin from gas industry on drilling ….
doing gollum ....Shock. Awe. Magician unable to find Abbott Now you see him, now you don't. A month ago you couldn't switch on your TV without Tony Abbott leaping out at you in a hi-vis vest or crotch-grabbing bike shorts, making that strangled braying noise that passes for laughter. HA HA HA HA.
