I eat and eat and eat and eat. I drink beer and love butter. No matter what I do, I can’t put on any weight. I am very active with sports and general sky-larking, but I have to bulk up. Any suggestions?

I went to visit my Mum in Burwood on Tuesday night and she was in her backyard watering the garden with my brother. I went out the back to say hello. She has a garden setting with some of the really old fold out aluminium chairs that have a canvas seat and backing. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and said hi to my brother and then went to sit down.

WHAM! I went straight through the chair and ended up with my head alongside my knees and stuck fast with my ass through the chair. My brother tried to pull me up, but I was stuck fast. After the initial shock we laughed untill our bellies ached. My bro eventually had to roll me over and push me out.

When was the last time you had a good belly laugh?

I have been listening to alot of Ben Harper lately. His latest album is a two cd set. One is very mellow (good background music) and the other is very upbeat, but with a touch of anger. Check it out!

Also got told by a friend to have a listen to Damien Rice. Google him. Great talent, with amazing diction, who can tell a story through his songs.

Anyone know of any hot new music talent?

I think I may be addicted to NOOK! I have told everyone at work it’s the place to go when you want to vent, or when you need to find out some local information. But I now realise you can find out just about anything from the hundreds of nookers out there. Anyone got a remedy for shaving rashes?

The new intiative by the government to get everyone using energy efficient light bulbs is a good one, but surely the “brains” of Australia have many, many more ways to look after the environment.

*Cheaper ways to recycle grey water. There are systems that can be bought at the moment that re-direct shower and washing machine water into gardens, but they are expensive and there is no rebate. We shouldn’t need to use “clean water” in the garden at all.

* Surely someone can invent a “super” battery that runs cars virtually emission free.

The government should have been ten years ahead of the global warming crisis, instead of chasing its tale at this late a stage. I’m sure there are heaps of people out there with ideas. Please come forward.

What is the best beer on the market?

Aussies enjoy beer. What do you think is the best beer for price and the best “upper class” beer? What’s the best light beer? Has anyone brewed their own? I’m looking at doing it. Is it easy?

So relax……sit back and smile at the world! You know it’s good for you.

I am a keen walker and ride my bike alot and I’m looking for some good places to walk in the Knox area.

Is it time for a change?

I think the issue of parenting is one of the biggest social issues of this decade. When did it become the norm for parents to negotiate problems with their kids? When did it become acceptable for kids to swear at their parents? Why is it that children are no longer accountable for their actions? As their parents no longer tell them right from wrong, what chance do complete strangers, welfare workers or even police have? When you drive down your own street and have parents knocking back cans of bourbon with their 15 year old kids and their mates, what can the respectable people in society really do?
