Life on Mars


I mean really, for all the millions of dollars spent you'd think they would have sent up something a bit flasher than a black and white camera!
I wonder how long before they send people up there. And I suppose if the Star Trek dude was important enough to have his ashes launched into orbit, then surely David Bowie will be sent up there for his eternal rest?

Call Centres


Apparently India is increasingly becoming the home of Customer Service Call Centers for multinational firms.

So next time you call to enquire about a bill and it takes hours to get it sorted on the phone...you will know why.... its a tangled web over there as the picture shows!

Not that I'm Noticing Stories about Twins...but...

...this is cool timing from newstalkzb

Twin centuries for twins
3/05/2008 12:36:23

A unique day in first class cricket, with the Marshall twins scoring first class hundreds on the same day at different grounds

While Hamish hammered a century for Gloucestershire west of London, James Marshall was bolstering the Black Caps first innings east of London. James has pushed his case for the number three spot in the Black Caps test team with a century on the opening day of the tour match against Essex.

Marshall was the only Black Cap to prosper in tough conditions with New Zealand finishing the day at 348 for nine. The Northern Districts batsman says he is fighting for the number three spot now vacant after the retirement of Stephen Fleming. Marshall says he has got to score runs to earn his place.

Winters Here!

Well my boys have seen a lot in their first week, including extreme weather. And all those who know me understand how that affects me...

During the past week we had temperatures as high as 28 degrees. They say in autumn and spring we always pay a price for such warm unseasonal days, and this morning we can indeed confirm that we have paid for it. This is the earliest in the winter I have seen snow on the Port Hills in many a year. There has been thunder, sleet, hail and the whole works in town.

Fantastic!
