Let's make money



Wealth Passed Up, and the Return of the Battery-Bunny Gaberlunzie

And how was your week?

This week has seen stately St Kilda Road swaddled in competing throbbing crashing sheets of noise, screeching tyres from the speeding cars (uncannily the very same sound as the shrill stevens of the swooping vampires in 'Van Helsing'), throbbing chup chup chups from the teeming matchstick dragonfly-choppers above - kind of Ringo Starr letting his hair down on third rate broken bass drums on a wild day - howling displays of astonishing, swivelling, yawing, slueing, side swooping, and random sky-corkscrewing dexterity by our very own Air Force pilots. ...More
