Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd before the tables turned and a new 'do'

John Howard was famously known as Lazarus with a triple bypass for his ability to continue to resurrect his political career, he was not the first, the Saviour of the free world Winston Churchill was well written off before the advent of his incredible prowess in combating Nazism and socialism and in turn changing the face off the world to this day.

The mascots for the Aussie Bid I was pretty flabbergasted that Australia had put itself into the ring to host the 2022 Soccer World Cup. As the Bid Team were enjoying the 30 hour trip to Europe at the expense of taxpayers, soccer games of the peak calibre in the A League around Australia were enjoying crowds of a few hundred. This is not a country that should be investing in a bid to host a competition that can even fill a few seats let alone stadiums.

oprah and her 1980's hair

Today I woke up in agony it was 10:30am and my phone was ringing it was Jai Mininovic the Young Spokesman for Australians for Constitutional Monarchy asking me to be involved in a new education programme. I had been waiting for this call for over 15 years from when I joined and committed myself to the protection of our constitution. I heard myself actually telling him of the pain rather than being my tuffguy self of "yeah the papers made it sound worse than it is how can I help you?".

David Graham aka Farmer Dave in Hospital I have been confined to a bed for 1 week and 1 day and its hell.

The first few days I didn't really eat or drink. Both cause the pain was so bad but also due to the humiliation of having to urinate in a bottle. Going in the bottle wasn't the bad thing, what was hard to deal with was asking the nurse to empty it. Now that time has past I'm getting used to it and think well its got to happen, but to start with I felt so bad for the nurses that they had to do that.in fact I felt so bad that the nurses had to take any personal care for me I didn't brush my teeth for most days in hospital unless one of my visiting friends was thoughtful enough to paste up my brush and bring me a cup and bowl. My sponge baths were something I did and when I was finally able to get out of bed using the Rolator (a big version of the granny push trolly) I insisted on showering myself and even getting onto the bench alone.
