>>> HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY MICK <<<

Today is the birthday of one of my dearest mates, Mick Stalgis.

Rosie, Brock and myself went to view a memorial made by the staff of the Randwick Council depot in Maroubra. It is a beautiful stainless steel park bench with plaque, in front of a small garden.

A fitting tribute to an awesome person who is terribly missed.

LATEST NEWS - LIVE FROM EASTGARDENS

'Mother Of The Year', experiencing a rapidly decaying list of friends has issued an alert.

Revenge is being planned on those who "destroyed my family".

Beware all those who stepped in to stop child abuse (confirmable via police) as you are to be punished for your human decency.

**** PLEASE HELP ****

Seeking Donations To Help People Affected By Philippine Floods!

I am helping to raise donations for the poor people affected by the huge floods in Manila.


Can you help with a donation, of any size?

Donations will be sent through the Pasalubong Food Store at 1073 Botany Road Mascot 2020 NSW.


They can either be made direct to Pasalubong, or if easier, I can take it in for you as a group thing.




If the later option, either ring me or email me at


philippinerailwayhistorical @ yahoo. com. ph (remove spaces)



Please help those back in the Philippines when they need it most.

>>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY AND DAMIEN <<<

It has been a long time since I had so much fun, but yesterdays was certainly one of those you wished would never end. Maraming salamat Marilou and family for inviting us

My karaoke voice, with some encouragment medicine in the form of Tanduay, was brought out of retirement for the first time in ages, thus causing much ear type agony for other attendees :-)

Thank you so much to everyone for giving us such a fantastic day, you guys are all awesome.
Thanks also to my dear departed friend Michael, he was alway so kind to me, and still looks after me by leading me to meet all these wonderful people. I only wish I knew them all when you were still here with us.

Below be a number of moments during the terrific event.

?, Rosie, Ning, Lori(?) get stuck into the singing!

Masarap, always plenty of food at a Filo party.
Ning on the right, Maricel on left, no idea who is the one in the middle.

Party goers.

Karaoke, it wouldn't be a Filipino party without it.

Oops, someone grabbed my camera :-P

The Aussie Aswang usually prefers to hide behind the lens but is caught

in a rare appearance singing!

Marilou!

Our little Honey entertains the guys out back.

Hmmmm got to be a better way to phrase that :-)

Bubs was reeeeeeally into that chicken :-)

Ning and our newest little party animal Tin Tin!

Piggy!!!!

Take that George you naughty monkey!

>>> SYDNEY DUST STORM - 22-09-2009 <<<

Sydney played host to high winds and a severe dust storm today.
Have yet to hear of someone who can remember such an event happening here in the past, while many likened it to the huge one in Melbourne in the 90s.

Personally I have not seen this much shit floated in the air since the Eastlakes scum last got together for a chat and most of Sydney hopes it wont happen again to soon.
Streets, cars, houses and even pets are all now coated in a fine orange/brown dust and, with rain not predicted for some time, it shall stay that way for a while.

The first three shots is of a China Southern Airlines jet during an aborted landing.

After circling and coming back the passengers were treated to a very hair raising and rough landing.

There is an Air Canada jet at Sydney Terminal - Trust me.



Competitors weathering the storm - Virgin Blue awaits its Qantas
counterpart to take off.



Dusty Crowthers coach shunting at their airport terminal.

Singapore Airlines Boeing 747 freighter touches down in a dusty Sydney.

There is a terminal in the background.

Emirates A380 prepares to depart into the strong winds and filth.

It has certainly been an interesting day and no doubt we will be finding dust in all our collective orifaces for many days to come.
