Athertonblab: September 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 09, 2009. Classifieds for the bored and lonely. Is the classified advertising website for anarchists, so it has a reputation for producing the weirdest ads and personal notices. Scary washing machine guy. Would have been right at home here, although probably wouldn't have found a buyer with actual money. Here's a selection from their current top twent. Do you have a small, incontinent dog? This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house,...

Athertonblab: August 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. The soundtrack helps make it that extra bit spooky. I know what many of you are thinking and the answer is this; the nice hardwood floors appear to be coated with a water based non-yellowing satin finish. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Not that I'm discriminating against Vertically Challenged Jewish Catholic Formula One Drivers. Those of you unfortunate enough to know all of my little quirks know that I love giving everything a deep, mystical meaning. Freak...

Athertonblab: March 2012
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 09, 2012. It's amazing what a spring clean can do. Amongst the old photos, copies of Boney M LPs and Betamax videotapes, I found this dusty old blog. Let's see if I can remember how to use it, in this age of iPhones and Twitface. Riley is recovering nicely, but one wonders whether we are meant to own horses. Some other stuff happened too. And here we are, in 2012. MOTOR magazine, with whom I have had previous relations. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Godsister Katie&#...

Athertonblab: October 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 22, 2009. Aussie F1 ace Webber slams vertically challenged people. Yes this is petty but very effective example of why I hate most newsmedia. Here's a headline from the Sydney Morning Herald: Casey Stoner quick to criticise circuit after slick effort. With an opening claim that Stoner took a "swipe at the condition of the track". Note to SMH journalist Martin Boulton: Either you learn your subject, such as how racing drivers or riders always. Although I do hope the Sydney Morning Herald.

Athertonblab: Roxy and Omi
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2010/09/roxy-and-omi.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. I blogged about it, when we first got Roxy. When the vet said those dreadful words, all I could think about was this. It isn't fair. Any other time but this. Can my daughter take any more blows? Roxy was so beautiful, right to the last. She accepted it graciously, she didn't struggle. She lay down softly, looking up at us. But in her gaze she knew someone was missing. I hope she forgave us, if horses can do such a thing. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Why has the blogging stopped!

Athertonblab: July 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. I really hope that satire isn't the same as personal mockery. I use one, and don't like the other. If you're smart (unlike me) you'll try and remain voluntarily ignorant about politics, but try to avoid, at least, thinking that all political bents are the same. Take the 1970's socialist revolutionary Saul Alinsky for example. His book Rules For Radicals,. A step-by-step handbook on how to rise to power, has been used frequently by various US Democrats. I am offended by the attac...

Athertonblab: Paddysaurus
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2010/04/paddysaurus.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. I've invented a new term and simply had to share it on the blog. (since nobody in the real world gets me). Here it is: " Passive anorexia. It's what happens to you when you are dining with two or more nurses, and they are talking about their work. Posted by P. H. Atherton. LOL Paddy, i know exactly what u mean. actually you get the same thing eating with new parents, (especially if u arent yet a parent yourself) - all that poo talk! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Athertonblab: November 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 09, 2009. Wall bad. Don't forget it. Time to reminisce on two related thingies; the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the 4.1 year anniversary of our variety-packed trip to Germany. Casting my mind back to 1989, I do vaguely recall nonchalantly trudging past the TV while Mum and Dad excitedly exclaimed "Look, the Berlin wall is coming down! I never thought we'd see the day! I'm bemused to see some influential members of the modern intelligentsia reflecting on the eupho...

Athertonblab: New Missy
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-missy.html
Wednesday, February 24, 2010. I seem to recall this very thing happening some years ago with a little, fat, white pony. Barely nanoseconds after dragging ourselves out of a potential financial mess, we buy a horse. I did my level best to play grumpy head-of-the-house-breadwinner and said "NO" to this purchase for a whole three weeks, but there was one overwhelming reality which I could not shake, and that was:-. I Love. This. Animal. Yep I purchase cars, motorbikes, even houses, and they will break down ...
