Didn't go over well. The bastard thing just keeps eating everything in and out of sight.</p>
<p>Today we found a baby ring tail possum's tail in his lair. So far, by my count, he's eaten:</p>
<p>2 x Blind Snakes (harmless things)<br />
2 x Gekkos<br />
1 x Golden Crown Snake (relatively harmless)<br />
4 x Blue Tongue Lizard babies<br />
1 x Butcher Bird<br />
2 x Eastern Rosellas<br />
a bazillion frogs and penny lizards</p>
<p>Makes me sick to think of it. I have tried to feed the shithead as much as I can and have now got two bells on him, keep him in at night when the prick of a thing can be tricked into coming inside but the evil thing just is a bottomless pit of cruelty and insatiable hunger.</p>
<p>If he eats a Lyre Bird I will throttle him. That's a promise.</p>
<p>The female cat is typical of the species. Lies around sleeping or hassles non-stop begging for more food and humps my leg if I can't keep the food up.</p>
<p>I like cats, much preferrable to dogs, but Oscar is one kill short of his own death. I've had a gutfull.</p>nick commented on 'CULTURE CLUB'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8352a0bfb69e22007-04-08T13:17:47Z2007-08-22T10:56:36ZnickEngland batting - well a short game is a good game!<p>England batting - well a short game is a good game!</p>nick commented on 'CULTURE CLUB'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d834f4a4b553ef2007-04-08T13:00:00Z2007-08-22T11:09:03ZnickScott, I think it's a sad indictment on this World Cup that you haven't felt the need to drag Ubersportingpundit...<p>Scott, I think it's a sad indictment on this World Cup that you haven't felt the need to drag Ubersportingpundit out of retirement.

<p>Fair point. I suppose more than anything I was just relieved it wasn't yet another article by a smug journo shitcanning blogs.</p>
<p>Found the Sumthin Blog through Russ. Disgusting. Not one mention of cricket. Saw Bland Canyon, too. And the Meva one.</p>
<p>You see, the trouble with long articles is ... ummm ... you forget some of the detail before you get to the end.</p>

"Dan Silkstone is a senior reporter at The Age. During the past 12 months he has covered some of the biggest stories to break around Australia, including the AWB inquiry in Sydney, the Beaconsfield Mine collapse and the inquiry into the death of Private Jake Kovco. Before this, Dan was The Age's transport reporter and won a Quill Award this year (with Royce Millar) for Off The Rails – a series chronicling the problems in Melbourne's public transport network. He also shared a Quill award in 2002 for best online report for Lifeblood: A story of a country hospital. Dan has also been a court reporter for The Age and has covered State politics and city affairs. <br />
In 2003 he covered the Canberra Bushfires and in 2005 spearheaded the paper's coverage of the Cronulla riots. <br />
He has an honours degree in English Literature from the Australian National University. <br />
He edited his primary school newspaper – The Saint Augustines' Bugle and was, for a while at least, the youngest published author in Australia, when his first and only novel was published at age 11. <br />
He is still working on the difficult follow-up work. "</p>

Well I was gonna say that the cats will be posting themselves ... then I remembered that BAZcat At Sills Bend has his own MySpace.</p>
<p>Dan found the fabulous Steph Sumthin <br />
(linked at Brisbane Window and brace yourself if you visit either blog) and he mentions Bill & Meva who comment at the AusBlogs I read.<br />
If I knew nothing about bloggers, his piece wouldn't inspire me to change that.<br />
At The Age homepage they have a Profile of him whch lists his MANY Awards.<br />
This morning I have picked a kilo of fresh strawberries from an Avenue Of Honour market garden, and now I am going to a family lunch in Caulfield and a mini-blogmeet with <a href="http://copperwitch.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Copperwitch</a> for afternoon tea.<br />
