It seems so soon after I did my last stats roundup.  The last 10k visits have taken only 31 days.

Now lets look at what’s brought people here.  No real surprises.  The usual suspects, vagina (in various forms, eg hairy, bald, wet, loose, big, 8 year old, 10 year old, Japanese, etc, etc), pussy, nude Hermione Granger, nude (insert celebrity name here), pedo sex, etc … all there again.  There are a few new ones though:

Thats about all actually … the usual collection of weirdos looking for whatever they get their jollies from.

A question of priorities

Posted on May 13, 2008
Filed Under Australia, dickheads | 4 Comments | 185 views

Police pulled up a car near Alice Springs and found:

The policeman who pulled the car over said the driver of the car “just looked at me blankly” when he was handed a $750 fine for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, and failing to ensure a child was wearing a seatbelt.

“There were four adults in the car, two in the front seat and two in the back seats and in between those adults there was the carton of beer strapped in with the belt,” he said.

“The child was sitting in the lump in the centre, unrestrained.”

“I asked him about the fact the child was unrestrained and the beer was, and he said he didn’t know anything about it.”

I’m not sure what is more disturbing ….that morons like this drive, or that they breed?

Hey miss, I can see your butt

I had visions of schoolboys saying that to Lynne Tziolas, when I read of her sacking from her job as a teacher for appearing nude in pictures in Cleo magazine.  However, I guess as a Grade 1 teacher, maybe they are a bit too young for that sort of thing … had they been high school boys there is no doubt her nude pictures would have made their way all over her school (perhaps used as book coverings by some more enterprising students?).

Here’s the picture that got her the bullet from Narraweena Primary School in the northern beaches area of Sydney.  (and you can’t even see her butt anyway!)

tziolas

Extremely tame in my opinion.  The only thing that causes me any offence is the feral tattoos ( have I mentioned before I hate tattoos … why do people choose to disfigure themselves in this way?)

The article which has caused the furore is this month’s Cleo. Titled “Buck naked couples talk about their sex lives” the article interviews ten couples about “what they get up to between the sheets”.It also includes a full-page picture of each couple, naked and holding each other.

Lynne and Antonios’s article asks them about how many times they have sex a week, their favourite body part and the most risque sexual thing they’ve done.  Now, not having read the article, I’ve got no idea what they said in answer to these questions.  On the assumption they didn’t confess to their sex life including things such as having a threesome with a goat on the teacher’s desk in the classroom, there’s no real harm in that.  Sure, too much information, but nothing extraordinary!

But, according to the NSW Department of Education:

“Concerns have been raised by community members in relation to this article. I have concerns that this will seriously impact on your continued employment at Narraweena Public School,”

Not sure how widespread this community concern was.  Lynne Tziolas says:

“The first thing I knew was on Friday morning when a parent complained, and come Friday afternoon I was told not come back to the school”

The school and department aren’t saying anything on the subject, although they did refer to complaints from several parents.  On the other hand, she seems to have plenty of support from parents of the kids she teaches.

I must admit to having mixed feelings about this story.  On the one hand, the photo published is completely harmless and inoffensive, and whatever they said about their sex life (presumably) is nothing outrageous.  On the other, she showed poor judgement in doing what she did …. there are things we don’t need kids or parents to know about their teachers, and she should have known that something like this was bound to cause someone somewhere some offence.  So, bad decision on her part.  Does it warrant a sacking?  I’d have thought it could have been handled with a good stern talking to by school management indicating their disapproval of her actions, and a warning not to do it again.  I’d put her “crime” in the area of a mistake due to bad judgement …. its not like criminality, dishonesty or incompetence are issues in this case (although in my experience, there’s usually more than the particular precipitating incident involved when someone gets sacked suddenly - ie I’d suspect the principal/department had some other issues with her and the Cleo stuff is just the excuse, or final straw).

The other thing I have mixed thoughts about is that she’s a temporary employee, and has been put on 4 weeks suspension on full pay (why do people always get suspended on full pay?… when I had to suspend people from their jobs when I was a public servant I always made it without pay - its not a freaking holiday for them, its telling them they’re in deep shit and we plan to sack them asap), which is somewhat short of sacked.  Also as a temp, she would know her employment is somewhat subject to the school’s continued need for her services, so pissing them off was not a good employment choice.  As a temp, sudden changes in your employment should be something you expect fairly regularly, and should be no big deal.  Tough, but them’s the breaks in temporary work.

I also don’t think some of the comments by Mrs Tziolas and her husband are particularly helpful to her case to be reinstated.  Saying she would gladly strip and pose again is sort of just flaunting it, rubbing the department’s nose in it.  Guaranteed way to get on their shit list! 

Mrs Tziolas said she was stunned by the response of her school to the article, and said it may end her career in public schools.  Yep, especially if you go on about it in the media. 

Mr Tziolas - also a teacher - is concerned the furore may have also affected his chances at getting a job with the NSW public system. He said he had applied for work at Narraweena, a primary school, as well, but doubted he would now get a position. “I’d imagine that my name is one that won’t be called, even though I’m on the list,” Mr Tziolas, 45, said.  Yep, start looking for another job I’d advise … the only list you’re on at the department is their “never to be hired” one, aka shit list.

My advice if they want to be teachers is:  lay low for a while, show some remorse for your errors in judgement (even if you don’t agree you made them), promise not to do it again.

People who should not be allowed to breed, part 8,436

Posted on May 8, 2008
Filed Under dickheads, justice | 10 Comments | 469 views

Two parents who had split up about a year ago, recently went to the Family Court to ask for a ruling on where their 7 year old daughter’s birthday party should be held and who should be invited.   Her dad wanted to celebrate at McDonald’s with gifts, balloons, his relatives, his new partner - and their seven-month-old baby girl. Her mum wanted it to be on familiar ground at her daughter’s usual play centre, with no relatives.   

It took a judge, three barristers, three solicitors and a day in court at an estimated $30,000 to work out where the girl should celebrate her seventh birthday.

The parents have been before the court “a number of times” since they split up early last year. Last appearance, in December, the judge ordered they both undergo “therapeutic counselling”.  They ignored this, didn’t do the counselling and so ended up back in court over the birthday party.

Personally I’d say put the little girl into care, and tell mum and dad to grow up,  and then we’ll think about custody arrangements, and when we’ve shown we’re all grown up and mature, you can have her back.

Family law experts yesterday slammed parents who tie up valuable court time with “trivial” matters. Michael Taussig QC said if somebody came to him asking to run a case in court about a birthday, he would tell them to see a psychiatrist.  (Unfortunately, I’m sure most lawyers would happily take the money and run the case.)

“Unfortunately the Family Court has to deal with dysfunctional people constantly and this is just one example,” he said.

Iron Man

Posted on May 7, 2008
Filed Under movies | 6 Comments | 450 views

My son talked me into going to see “Iron Man” tonight.  I’d seen the ads for it when I was in Taiwan and Hong Kong a week and a bit ago and thought it looked interesting (of course, I didn’t understand the ads in Chinese).  So “cheapskate Tuesday” at the local cinema was enough to convince me it would be worth spending $9.50 on.

ironman

And it was well worthwhile, much better than I’d expected.  I haven’t really been much of a fan of comic book adaptation movies (like Spiderman, Batman, the Hulk) but this one was pretty good ….I’d never heard of the Iron Man comics before, so it was all new to me.

Sure it was far fetched, but it did have an interesting premise, and the story was well told.  Robert Downey Jr was excellent as the main character, Tony Stark, and Jeff Bridges made a good bad guy (I didn’t even realise it was him until the credits at the end).  Gwyneth Paltrow did a decent job also.

 

Next thing we’re going to is in a couple of weeks …. The Chaser’s live show.  Kids talked me into that as well.  That should be good … Cellobella saw it last month in Perth and enjoyed it.

Never let it be said I don’t deliver

Regular readers will know there’s an intense fascination among searchers who come to this blog for nude pictures of Hermione Granger, the young witch in the Harry Potter books, or more especially, movies.    Well, these are not actually nudes, but  getting there. 

This link is not safe for work.  It is presented as a service to those readers of my blog who wish to see Emma Watson’s rude bits.  Emma, who turned 18 only last month, plays Hermione in all the Harry Potter movies.

OK, hope this satisfies the needs of those readers for their Hermione fetish.

Guns and snakes don’t mix

Posted on April 26, 2008

It is often said that most people who fall victim to snakes get bitten while attempting to kill them.  Here’s another case where the snake beat someone trying to hunt it.

A woman was shot dead by her husband in Queensland this week while trying to flush out a brown snake that was hiding in their garage.  Leanne Sleba and her husband Geoff had spotted the two-metre Eastern brown snake earlier in the night, but failed to find it.  Worried about their children’s safety because they frequented the fridge in the garage, the couple returned later with a shotgun.

After a thorough search, they couldn’t find the snake, and were about to give up, when, according to a family member:

"Leanne started to walk away and she was about three or four metres from him and Geoff heard hissing and he looked down to see the snake on his foot.

"He’s either jumped, slipped….. and his finger hit the trigger and the gun went off.

"It hit Leanne,"

She died at the scene.

Toowoomba District Police Inspector Brett Schafferius said police deemed that the firearm accidentally discharged. Scientific investigations were undertaken and a report was being prepared for the coroner.

Call me suspicious, but how often do things like this eventually turn out to be much more than initially meets the eye?
