Here we come!
5 out of 100,000 people at the 'G' on Sunday arriving from interstate cheering our Aussie boys.
Watch your TV on Boxing Day, you just might see us :)
A place for my random thoughts, anecdotes and reflections of what I see and experience in this lifetime.

Be Kind and Rewind
Today is one of those days that I just feel extremely stupid and all the small and simple tasks that should only take a minute to do end up taking an hour or more to accomplish.
Can I rewind the clock, go back to sleep and just start this day all over again??????

Pick your faces
I have a very useless habit of recognising actors and actresses who were once unknown but are now household names or who I reckon will become household names in the future.
From the many times I have sat at home re-watching the Doctor Who series 1 to 4 box sets, I simply have to make a list of the following people whom I recognise when they were guest stars, and are well-known or going to become well-known in the future:
Carey Mulligan
She played Sally Sparrow in the episode 'Blink'.
Now an Oscar nominee, competing with Keira Knightley for famous British actress awards and in movies such as Wall Street- Money Never Sleeps and Never Let me Go.
Andrew Garfield
Everyone now knows Andrew as the new Spiderman in the up and coming movies revamp. He's also starred in the recent movie 'The Social Network' about Facebook. But did you know that he had a guest role on two (2) episodes (Daleks in Manhatten and Evolution of the Daleks) as Frank, a young American lad who had to leave his family during the Great Depression and ends up in Hooverville New York?
Harry Lloyd
Now Harry probably isn't well know yet but I reckon he is a promising young actor to come. Harry also guest-starred in two (2) episodes titled 'The Family of Blood' and 'Human Nature' . He played Jeremy Baines, a school student who ends up being possessed by The Family.
Colin Morgan
We all know him as Merlin in the TV series, but Colin had a bit part in the episode 'Midnight', that converted me into a Doctor Who fanatic! (of David, not Colin) He played Jethro, a fellow passenger on the tourist trail to the planet Midnight.
Thomas Sangster
He played Liam Neeson's son in Love Actually, a young brat in Nanny McPhee and the adolescent Paul McCartney in the recent movie 'Nowhere Boy'. Thomas was also in the episodes 'The Family of Blood' and 'Human Nature' as a fellow school student but doesn't become possessed.
Now to my next favourite DVD box set 'Inspector Rex':
Karl Markovics
Whilst not an Oscar winner or nominee himself I dont think, Karl played the title role in the foreign film 'The Counterfeiters' as Salomon Sorowitsch, who was a Jew that ended up helping the Nazis printing counterfeit Deustchmarks during WWII. This film won Best Foreign Film at the 2008 Oscars. Karl protrayed the detective Ernst Stockinger in 2 series of Inspector Rex.
Christoph Waltz
Everyone knows Christoph from his Oscar winning performance in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, but he also had a role as a villian in the episode 'The Doll Murderer' in season 3.
Gedeon Burkhard
Also in Inglorious Basterds as a soldier Willem Wicki, but he took over from Tobias Moretti as the chief inspector and new owner of Rex from seasons 4 to 6.
