The adventures of Almigo

Tonight I've been invited to get suited up for the Bendigo Harness Racing club's big shindig and I can't wait. We're talking a lovely three course meal, great company and one of my favorite past times at race meets: having a bit of a punt. Now I will admit that I'm pretty rubbish at picking a winner and it's more a bluff/luck/tinny cocktail than actual knowledge of anything horse related if any of my selections actually make it across the finish. I have read some tea leaves and this thing looks good. However in the spirit of sharing and sharing alike, I've taken a look at tonight's Form Guide here at Bendigo and come up with my best horse selection of each race. Will they actually do anything worthy? Buggered if I know. But hey, if you're looking for a laugh or want to lose your shirt, take a butchers at my top picks!

Rough times at the moment? Feel like you need a confidence/energy/life boost? Here's a few little things I like to focus on when things go a little south. Maybe they'll help you too get back to where you want to be :)

A few days ago it seemed the whole world was going absolutely gaga over some Thermomix thing. And I have absolutely no idea why... Thermowhat?

While fetching my car out the back of work this afternoon I noticed that the engineers had set up an impromptu set of lanes with safety tape and a couple of Keep Left signs for good measure. My spirits lifted - did they just create an after work back carpark rally track? Taking the work car out for a spin Upon closer inspection...no. That's not the case...(bugger)

As a car owner of nothing past the year 1994, these are thoughts I have often. Can you relate to any yourself?

You might want to bulk buy some industrial strength aspirin for this one as I'm about to cause some massive headaches for the entertainment industry. Prepare to be completely gobsmacked...
