Eight months older than me.

Derryn Hinch, who referred to himself as the Human Headline because of his penchant for courting controversy, has died aged 82. The New Zealand-born radio host, who dabbled in acting and politics, died in his sleep on Friday morning. His former colleague and personal assistant Annette Philpott confirmed his death, attributing it to “old age”. “He’s had really tough times of late. He’s been in and out of hospital. I’m assuming his heart just gave out,” Philpott told the Daily Mail.

Finally had my Cochlear Assessment testing done today. The residual hearing in my left ear is so degraded, I would benefit from an implant in that ear. My right ear has more residual hearing than the implant would replace,so they would only implant one. Many people pair an implant with a normal amplifying aid. The young lady conducting the test was amazing. She sat one side of the desk and I was on the other. She placed a page of typed notes on the desk so I could read them, and wrote comments/notes UPSIDE DOWN perfectly clearly, as if she wrote that way all the time, ie., writing right to left and inverted. The report will be forwarded to the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist who will take things from there. It was a 70km round trip.

A guy got pulled over by the police. The cop walked up to his window and asked, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" The guy said, "To check how tall I am?" The cop looked definitely unimpressed and said, "Step out of the car please." The guy said, "So I was right then?"

At about 3 am on the Hume Highway between Yass and Goulburn, a semi-trailer was pulling into a rest area when it was struck from behind by another semi. This pushed the first one into four others already in the rest area with drivers asleep. The trucks caught fire and were totally destroyed. All drivers walked away with only minor injuries. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-30/hume-highway-truck-crash-multiple-vehicles-drivers-injured/106859504

I saw a video clip on Facebook the other day where the guy stuck a stick in the end of the Tim Tam, dipped it in marshmallow, and toasted it over an open fire. He also dropped an Oreo into a cup, covered it with milk, popped it in the microwave for a couiple of minutes then ate it.

Did you know that Arnotts Tim Tam biscuits are named after a racehorse? Tim Tam was a champion American Thoroughbred racehorse foaled in 1955 and owned by Calumet Farm. Sired by Hall of Famer Tom Fool out of Two Lea, he was trained by Horace A. Jones and ridden by Bill Hartack. In 1958, Tim Tam won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, becoming a strong favorite for the Triple Crown. However, his bid ended in the Belmont Stakes when he fractured a sesamoid bone during the race, finishing second and ending his racing career. Tim Tam died of a heart attack in 1982 and was buried at Calumet Farm. The Australian chocolate biscuit Tim Tam is named after the horse.
