Never give a monkey the key to the banana plantation

Well it looks like this is turning into the Malcolm Forever blog. Come on guys, get yer tush in gear. Especially you lot who NEVER contribute. It's fun, it's easy, it's your duty as a Hamilton! Blog my pretty ones, blog! As the Wicked Witch of the West would have said if it were an online community, instead of flying monkeys she created. Heeehehheeeehheehhe mad cackle, finarr!

Australia in 2006 is gripped in the desicated vice of drought. In fact it's the worst drought on record. Hottest October days ever - 38 degrees yesterday, when it should only be 20 degrees - warmest winter ever. As dry as the proverbial bone. Now any normal person would think the well smart, equally well shod, educated folks in this dusty red country would be on the ball. Yes? No! Not until the whole continent goes up in flames will they move to make a difference. Honestly, they're all bonkers in the nut over here. It's amazing how the Baby Boomers keep their collective head in the sand.... and sure there's loads of it. Or maybe it isn't so surprising. Let's face it, the Baby Boomers have spent their whole lives raping and pillaging the environment, and they sure ain't going to stop now. The sting in the tale?

Never give a monkey the key to the banana plantation.

To another topic... John Howard, the Bushy browed, Baby Booming Pin-Up-War-Mongering-Migrant-Loathing-Mysoganist of a prime minister here has somehow been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. It just goes to prove the the World is indeed a funny old place. The odd's are 1000 to 1. Any bets guys?

Ohh did you see what I did there with the "Bushy browed"? "Bushy" Bush, Bush? Hmmm... no? Dubba? Ohh forget it!

For those good people following my rants and plants.... Well we got the results of the Downs tests this Thursday and wow, ohh wow, Vanessa's numbers came back at 1 in 5167. Amazing! Let me explain. For those of you who already understand please skip to article 3.

1. Over the age of 30 all risks inherent in any pregnancy go balistic. The OBGYN would have been happy with odds of 1 in 300. 1 in 1500 is considered excellent. Odds of 1 in 5167, hey it's astronomical! Yaaaahoo.

2. Other news is the baby is sitting a little higher than expected and thats it.

3. Otherwise all good, all fine.

Have a good one guys. To come full circle with this silly blog.... Post away! We're all over the world us Hamiltons. So leave a little notice on this message post. We're all interested. We all give a hoot. And remember! Keep those keys safe from the monkeys!
