    Werribee named as welfare cheat suburb of Victoria. Is anyone surprised? Didn't think so.

    You can't even re-enact the leg crossing scene from the Basic Instinct movie; get someone walk your dog without having being forced to leave your job.

    Not surprising when that region is home to a hotbed of gangsta impersonators called Menstrual Tension Society.

    I love discovering the little tidbits of background information from old toys I used to have.

    For example my brother and I used to love playing with a toy which consisted of two planes merging to form a robot. We never knew the background of the toy, but a few years ago I was randomly reading about the history of Power Rangers and how it was dubbed from the Super Sentai series. Lo and behold, I discovered the 8th Super Sentai series called Choudenshi Bioman (from 1984) and that the mecha which featured in this series was the very toy we played with!

    Just last night, I was reading about the “Unseen” Mechwarrior designs and came across a design which looked very similar to a small diecast robot toy I used to play with. After further digging around I found out I was playing with a figure from the Fang of the Sun Dougram anime (from 1981).

    Sadly I don’t have any of these toys anymore but it’s cool to finally discover the story behind them and that they were actually licensed merchandise, not just some random cheap generic toy.

    I was handed down a castle playset thing. It was the front face of a castle that had grey upper and purple lower. Two windows either side and long brown doors in the middle that opened outwards. Never knew what it was from

    The way it works, you’ll eventually stumble across the story in some random part of the internet

    As crazy as it sounds, the last time I've had a hair cut was 15 weeks ago. That's all the way back in May. Can't wait to get one by month's end.
