Margaret Court is the deserving recipient of the first “Idiot Of The Week” awarded for 2012. SERIOUSLY how can you hold a bible whilst talking about sexual abuse, how many countless children suffered sexual abuse at the hands of priests!!!!! As for you next idea, that the church is the “WAY FORWARD” for the aboriginals …. why not, we already have a stolen generation to be ashamed of why NOT add a brainwashed generation !!!!!!!!

And as for sexual abuse leading to the “CHOICE” of homosexuality I will quote my Mother “Homosexuality is not a life choice Margaret Court it is chromosomal, hormonal, genetic and happens before birth . I mean, would someone intentionally choose a life that is so often so very difficult, and made more so by people just like you.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I will start by saying I am NOT a St Kilda supporter either, however the bad sportsmanship displayed by some of the Collingwood supporters at the MCG on BOTH grand final days was a disgrace. Hearing the crowd BBBOOOO when St Kilda scored a goal was just ridiculous, no bad decisions lead to these goals so the response of the crowd was un called for and un sportsman like. And Eddy, I ask you to WATCH the footage of the Brownlow coverage and take a long hard look at yourself! Your facial expressions were that of a spoilt child as the votes were counted and YOU should be showing people how to support their team within the spirit of the game..NOT with sulking and downright anger that you display at times…. IT’S A GAME PEOPLE get on with it !!!!!

Definition of SPORTSMANSHIP

After all these years I now realise why, when I asked my Gran who she supported, her answer was, whoever is playing Collingwood this week ….. ONYA Gran!!!!!

What a great day, saw CSIRAC as an unexpected extra and Titanic was amazing, the tour really took you to 1912 and gave a good feel of the story, to me the most amazing thing was the iceberg that was at the end, it was real ice and you were invited to touch it knowing it was NOT as cold as the water faced by the passengers and crew that night. The tour brought the story together, all the old movies and more recent ones I have seen about the Titanic, as well as reading I have done in the past just came together today. It just makes me feel so sad for all the people affected, an interesting point was the amount of crew that did not survive, and there are so many other passenger stories to learn and things to see.

GREAT JOB

I went to the Museum to see the Titanic Artefacts, and this was also on display….

Built in Australia, the fourth computer in the world, and it is the only intact first-generation computer surviving anywhere in the world.

WOW, hard to believe these specs, in 1947 the CSIRO invented this computer known as CSIRAC , it was the very first computer in the world to be programmed to play music (1955), now this next little gem of information is priceless, IT NEEDED STICKY TAPE, yes …. me the queen of all things stucky taped could have driven this baby , programmes were strips with a series of holes punched in them, so programmers needed a hole punch to place holes where needed and if one was placed in error or the programme needed tweaking, they covered the unwanted hole with STICKY TAPE 

After 30.000 hours of service and working on 700 projects, that included weather forecasting calculations, forestry, financial loans, building designs, psychological research and electricity supply, it was switched off in 1964
