My biggest gripe at the moment is TV commercials. Foxtel are the worst. You get a commercial so flick a channel or two to see what else is on, and you get another commercial, anything up to a dozen or so at the one time, particularly that damned Trevago ad with those idiots buried up to their neck. Not deep enough.

My boss died. I went to his funeral. I kneeled down beside the coffin and whispered, "Guess who's thinking outside the box now?"

I had another consultation regarding the cochlear implant on Friday. I chose the model I wanted and selected the colour, light grey, which is the closest to my hair colour. The audiologist went through the costings, listing all the things covered by the government, and those not covered. If you lose or damage the device, it is not covered, and you should add it to your household contents insurance. Then came the kicker. Every five years they do a software upgrade, like Microsoft and Applle, which is not covered. The cost? -- 8 - 9 thousand dollars, which you may be able to claim from your private health insurance. I have to check that out. I don't know if you have to get the upgrade, or if you can continue on the older version. Then again, I may not last till an upgrade is required, pretty likely not to the second one. I rang my brother and discovered his wife had just had a second one implanted, in the other ear. They hadn't been told of the upgrade cost. They will be checking it out this week.

I saw on Channel 2 the other day a story aboout a guy in Brisbane who is developing a generator for powering the home which is powered by an electric motor - the electricity it generates itself. The generator produces 4 or 5 times the power required to run the motor, the rest is available to power the house. I have no further details or references, other than, I think they said, the guy was involved in developing the Triton Work Bench.

I've had a smart meter for a few years. I love it. I can log into my acccount with my supplier at any time, and get data like this.

A guy hears a noise outside at his shed. He looks out the window and sees a burglar trying to break into the shed. He quickly calls 000 and explains the situation. The operator says "Sorry sir, we have no resources to send." The guy looks out again, and says, "You have to come. He's stealing my mower." The operator again says," I told you sir, we have no resources to send." Then the guy says, "Oh, don't worry about it, I just shot the twat. He's dead on the lawn.' Within five minutes, there were two helicopters, six police cars and fourteen police swarming around his house. There was no body on the lawn. The police said, "Sir, you lied to us. You didn't shoot anyone." The guy said, "You started it by saying you had no resources."

I went to the library the other day. I said to the librarian, "Do you have any books on shelving?" She said, "Yes, all of them."
