The Chronicles Of... The Chronicles Of... This is the chronicles of Pete, Dicker and Chris.

Run, Fat Boy, RUN!
2008-03-28 14:08:00 Whilst this could be referring to my continued efforts at fitness, it’s also the title of a movie we saw this evening. It’s quite funny, with a number of ‘guffaws’, but I wasn’t moved to hold the seat in front of me, whilst choking with laughter, which is my mark of a ‘classic film’ (see ...

The final winter
2008-03-25 12:31:00 Watched this movie last night. Filmed in 2006, released in 2007, just came on DVD this week. It’s a movie about a rugby league football player for Newtown Jets back in the 80’s when league was transforming from the amateurish hardman’s game to the corporate marketing game of today. It’s not so much about league than it is about ... More About: Movies , Winter , Final

A challenge to the right wing and the atheist

World?s best knock knock Joke
2008-03-17 10:46:00 Without understating it in anyway… I have come up with the world’s best knock knock jokes. By posting them here on the net, I just want to legitimate my claim to these jokes so that when you hear them from other people (as they do the rounds), you can say “I know the guy who made ...

Thanks Victor Kelleher
2008-03-11 12:24:00 I was never much for being a reader as a child. In the MS readathon, my friends had often read 600 books by the end of the month, and I had just realised that I was more captivated by the cover of my books than the words inside… But in 1991 I found a book and ...

Hi. My name?s Michael and I?m a social drinker?
2008-03-07 12:03:00 So we went for Fi’s first antenatal checkup today (we’re 13 weeks now woohoo!). As part of the initial checkup procedure, there was a point where I had to leave the room so the Doc could ask Fi some personal questions about our relationship etc… This is a really good system in our hospitals. It gives ... More About: Social , General , Michael
Society
2008-03-06 13:55:00 Someone’s made a video to go with a song that Ed Vedder wrote for the film ‘Into the Wild’. They’ve made a bit of tenuous link between their politics and the song, but it basically fits. More About: Society , Music , Tube , Peter
Little thieves!
2008-03-06 03:01:00 Had one of those great days yesterday… Fi left her mobile phone in the car overnight. We remembered it before going to bed but couldn’t be bothered walking down stairs to get it, and as we tried to motivate ourselves to go get it we joked “we’ll probably get broken into tonight.” “hmmmm yeah… you can ...

2008-03-04 00:49:00 Take a good look at this picture. What do you see? This is not a a psyche test. You’re not supposed to see an apparition of Mary, or the face of Jesus and the sacred heart. It’s concrete. Plain ol’ fashioned concrete. There is nothing special about this particular concrete surface. It’s not from anywhere famous. It’s ... More About: Kids , General , The Kids , Spray

U.S. Shooting
2008-02-18 02:56:00 Another US school shooting masacre… Maybe it will start to become clear to them that: “Guns don’t kill people… People who can buy guns at Kmart kill people…” Surely they’ve worked out that their “relaxed” standard of gun laws isn’t really helping their citizens any… COMING TO A U.S. PAPER NEAR YOU: ‘World news’, ‘Finance news’, ‘Sport news’, and… ...

Life is a segway

War? what is it good for?
2008-02-02 05:42:00 (This blog is continuing the conversation from Pete’s blog “Clarkson and the Soldier”.) War… what is it good for? Absolutely nothing? Well… what about defending the defenseless? Or crushing an evil tyrant? Or stopping an invasion? Was it wrong to fight against the war march of the Nazis in WWII? The New Testament of the Bible is noticebly ... More About: General , Good
Clarkson and the soldiers
2008-01-24 09:15:00 I was reading this article recently, and it got me thinking. First of all, it got me thinking that the guy in the photo at the top of the article looks as though his face has been ‘photoshopped’ on, but I don’t know why that would be the case. Perhaps he’s a really effective ... More About: General , Soldiers , Pete , Clarkson

Psalm 2
2008-01-14 06:38:00 A psalm of kingship. This psalm particularly connects with me in how it describes God’s determination. What I mean by that is God’s certainty in what he plans he will do (”when I act who can reverse it?” Isa. 43:13). God installs his king in Zion. And he laughs at those who try to undermine what ...

Psalm 1
2008-01-10 04:07:00 A psalm of wisdom and confidence. What particularly conncts with me is the image that the one who is righteous is like ”a tree planted by streams of water”. The psalm starts with “blessed are those…”, and the tree is truly blessed. It has a close supply of water which enables it to produce it’s fruit in ... More About: Psalm , Psalms
