Tom's Blog on Life and Livingness
While this good attempt is very much appreciated, it does not lay the subject or the debate to rest. I’m afraid the set appears to be seriously incomplete and there is a lack of consensus on it as presented. It is missing a splash, a trifle, a tinge and a dollop, a wee bit and a slurp and one commenter thought a tad was less than not greater than a dash. If you have a definitive reference it would resolve some confusions…
J Blakemore, the guy who posted this on Billy’s birthday wrote: Hands down one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met in my life. I was a background actor for five years and encountered hundreds of actors from A to Z list, but when I was working “House” Billy Connolly came to our craft services table (not his own trailer), hung out with us between takes, traded jokes, was genuinely thrilled and surprised to know that one of my favorite movies is “Water” and posed for pics with me and a Kiwi buddy as they both sported their tribal tats… …when you meet someone that cool you damned well need to let them know they are special. And Billy IS special as hell.

The Australian Tax Office actually commented on this one.
The importance of accuracy in your tax return
The ATO has returned the Tax Return to a man in Townsville after he apparently answered one of the questions.
In response to the question, “Do you have anyone dependent on you ?”
The man wrote: “2.1 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crackheads, 4.4 million unemployable scroungers, 80,000 criminals in over 85 prisons, plus 450 idiots in Parliament, thousands of ‘retired politicians’ and an entire group that call themselves ‘Senators’
The ATO stated that the response he gave was “unacceptable”.
The man’s response back to ATO was, “Who did I leave out?”
I have recollections of similar scenes of battle…
Couldn’t be any clearer, really.
As one commenter wrote: I think mum’s got a grip on this.
If this applies to you, take a walk until you feel better!
Is this the most Australian photo of all time?
