  1. @612brisbane Tim, tell folks "Teach your children science" We have to get off this rock within 4 billion years. #Andromeda galaxy collision
  2. @archiearchive @raincoaster G'nite. Me too. It's after midnight here.
  3. @raincoaster @archiearchive Here's my Pasta Puttanesca mikefitzau.tumblr.com/post/640359437… Sometimes, I add prawns; sometimes carrot shards for crunch
  4. @raincoaster @archiearchive Nice work. Hey, the kids love my pasta puttanesca too.
  5. @archiearchive Caught some of the earlier ones. Great fun. I must catch up with the latest.
  6. @raincoaster @archiearchive Oooh, wine. Spent 2 nights last weekend in a B&B in a winery. Think I drank my annual quota.
  7. @archiearchive Hey Archie, must be nearly #lateline time in WA. Insightful (but depressing) interview with Robert Fisk in Beirut re #Syria
  8. @archiearchive @raincoaster Two scotches a day is good for the heart. Apparently 4 scotches a day isn't twice as good.
  9. @screaminkid Robert Fisk looked really sad that things are about to get a lot worse. Assad's supporters fear sectarian violence alternative
  10. Fisk again: Young generation in Lebanon, educated overseas, won't stand for a sectarian society. #Syria civil war won't spread. #lateline
  11. Robert Fisk: Sad; opposition in #Syria is divided along sectarian lines; they don't need more weapons; they're armed to the teeth #lateline
  12. @612brisbane ALP lost support only when it sold assets that had JOBS attached. However, it's in LNP DNA to sell assets faster.
  13. RT @godwingrech: Julie Bishop's hair beats Julia Gillard's hair #auspol #lateline [But not Gina Reinhart's hair #PlsExcuseSexistComment
  14. @cherrygripe True. Les Paterson was way more down to earth than Clive Palmer. #qanda
  15. Humphries: "Clive Palmer is the reincarnation of Les Paterson" #qanda Scarily true.
  16. My TweetDeck works so hard during #qanda that the bug in @godwingrech 's avatar leaps around instead of crawling on my screen.
  17. RT @kathoc: Money is like sex. The more you get the more you want. #qanda [unless it's with someone like G Rinehart
  18. Damn! I just leapt out of my chair to grab my phone when Barry Humphries' phone rang. #qanda
  19. I reckon 457 visas have been over-used in the IT industry for 10 years now. #qanda
