Back to an old favourite for dinner this evening - Blue Tongue in Elwood - where the food was delish as per, but the previously savvy & amusing waiters seemed, except for one, to have been replaced by a phalanx of 14 years olds with complete humour bypasses. And the music was too loud. Am disturbed that this may mean the start of a descent into serious fogeydom.
The main topic of discussion was the cynicism or otherwise of the motives behind the breaking of the Tony Abbott Finds Adopted Son story to the Bulletin. One view was that Tone is backing his anti-choice crusade with the "thank god Daniel wasn't aborted" angle. The other was that the timing is entirely coincidental and there is no spin-doctoring going on. It was almost forks at 5 paces, with no grey area between the two views. Will wait for the facts to emerge before venturing an opinion.
A second hot topic was who will win the next Victorian election. Some of us were rubbing our tiny paws in glee at the results of recent published polls, while others were putting real money on the prospect of Braxtopia remaining a socialist paradise. It's far, far too soon to be wagering cash.
Some amazing stuff out there. Such as this question on Ask An Imam:
Do we believe in the evolution of animals such as birds etc. How old is the earth and for how long has there been life on earth according to Islam. What is the ruling on hair gel.
Somebody is surely taking the piss. Must go to bed before surfing twists my brain past usefulness.
