Paul & Linda McCartney with David Gilmore at Rolling Stones Concert


Paul & Linda McCartney with David Gilmore were among the 250,000 crowd that witnessed the entertainment of the Rolling Stones on the grounds of Knebworth House late 1975.  It was after midnight when the Rolling Stones finally left the stage in a British version of Woodstock – an open-air concert for the quarter of a million fans.  They played until the wee hours and the crowd was still dispersing at dawn.

Bubbletree - A Tree House with a Difference

Bubbletree tree houses are dedicated to pleasant moments; reading a book, improvising an amazing picnic, creating a panoramic view, taking a nap, observing the nature or spending an unusual night.

The tree house is a retractable sphere. At nightfall or during a nap, the bubble encircles the round platform to offer a cozy bed. In the morning, you fold it up to admire natures show all around your bed.

How to cut records



I really don't know what to think of this artists output.  On the one hand: how clever is making images out of LP's?  On the other hand: they're destroying LP records.  You be the judge.

Ya Know What? Screw Christopher Pyne.

It is absolutely NOT illegal to seek asylum by boat or any other means.  This propaganda only fuels animosity and hatred towards people for no real reason other than to grab votes.

Christopher Pyne deserves to burn in a special kind of Hell reserved for demagogues.  Hang on a minute, if Christopher Pyne is allowed to spew lies like this can we now say that he's a mincing nancy boy who likes little boys?  Just asking.
