Getting to know your leaders.
Thanks to Sasha,who gave me the heads up regarding Doc Nelson's personal website. And my, ISN'T IT LOVELY AND RELAXED NOTHING TO SEE HERE JUST A REGULAR JOE.
'Whilst my wife thinks I own two guitars, I actually own five! I have three Fender Stratocasters, Fender 60th Anniversary Stratocaster and a sixties facsimile Stratocaster. I also have a Yamaha XGV1212 with a sliding bridge and a Tanada acoustic I bought in 1981'.
Nelson, you wild dog. Keeping musical purchases from your wife? There will be blood, etc.
Additionally, note wildly unamusing 'Dad's Army' t-shirt.
'My favourite all time musicians have got to be Roy Buchanan, Santana and George Harrison.
Without even thinking, my favourite rock group is, and always has been AC/DC!'
IN YOUR FACE, JOHN 'I DON'T MUCH CARE FOR THE LYRICAL STYLINGS OF BOB DYLAN' HOWARD. THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN AND HE'S READY TO ROCK (so long as there are appropriate safety barriers and crowd control in place pre-performance and everyone has purchased their ticket through legal venues).
'I bought my first bike in 1976 at the age of 17. It was a Honda 75-4 which probably explains why my mother went grey early!' (insert LOL here - ed.)
'I dropped out of it for a few years when my children were young.'
Responsible, no? Also: heartwarming as fuck. If only every father were so kind/giving, etc.
This next bit is my favourite. It's a lesson on how to pretty much suck every last shred of dirty, sticky rebellion from the world of motorbikes.
'My advice to fellow riders is that whatever you do, always assume that everybody else on the road is going do the wrong thing. Always assume there will be unanticipated obstacles or animals around the next corner when out on a country road. Always assume your skills are not as good as you think and whatever you do, undertake a HART (Honda Australia Roadcraft Training) or a Stay Upright course.'
Right. And don't forget to pass on the backyard lab speed when Big Mike proffers a toot your way, kids!!!
On dogs:
'My favourite breed is Jack Russell Terriers. My two Jack Russell Terriers, Sniff and Lucy are just fantastic!
I love the fact that they’re gutsy, affectionate, low maintenance and less of a problem if you take them to a mate’s place'.
A bit like Tony Abbott, really. Although give him a few Vodka Breezers and he'll tear the joint up like a man possessed.
Another highlight - 'my favourite doggy you tube video!!!'
'Because it reminds me of certain queue jumpers attempting to fling themselves at our country's borders, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!*'
I'd like to say I had the perfect way to end today's blog but that honour really has to go to today's Daily Telegraph, who absolutely caned an article about the Coalition and poverty by captioning the following photograph:
'One of these men is down on his luck with an uncertain future. The other is homeless'.
Upstanding men and women of the press, I tip my hat.
*not a direct quote. Although I'm wagering the thought has crossed his mind.

Nope, can't hear anything yet.
Is it just me or does Brendo (Biker nick, play on "Brando", vis a vis Wild One but in this case s/W/M/) remind others of a sack full of eager to ooze puss? Ok, it's just me...
If you listen closely, you will need to press your ear to your screen .You can hear BN humming his favourite ACDC song with gitar in play “Bad boy boogie”. Here are the lyrics if your hard of hearing
Being a bad boy ain't that bad
I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me
And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be
Go the Jack Russell
That is all.
Probably not.
But isn't that homeless mans jacket fantastic?
sorry kaleu big if you like them, but i never met a jack russell i liked.
The Libs are desperate to show a human side and what are they going to do? Send us around to Julie's? Not until she hides the cages of children and her poking stick.
People have to earn a living what's so difficult to understand about that? Equally people can't stay doing the same gig for the rest of their lives...i mean who really wants to see Lano and Woodley into their 60's?
Sheesh!
I agree Marmalade re banging on bikes
Sadly this blog isn't funny.
"On the weekend Daisy and I were reading the TRAVEL section of the SMH because there’s no DOG section, but we found a very interesting article about Pet friendly holiday destinations. And the best part, was the dog in the article likes to surf, like me. "
That's one of his dogs writing.
A mad scientist or a cautious road user? No wonder the party's in disarray.
Someone came back from a marketing seminar saying "The Libs need to sex up their image", (Note the hip lingo), and this is what they came up with.
It's very corporate try-hard.
My heart is all a flutter!
So he was busy being 'cool' whilst interest rates were rising and Howard was in government? That would explain his current stance on the issue. Yeheah... I like it.
Thank you for clearing that up for me Ms Fits!
Though exactly how that's possible when they haven't even had a sitting day in parliament to really change anything, I have no idea...
Also, Michael, what's really sad, is that not everyone finds the same things funny.
No, wait, that's a good thing. Now I remember: it's the diversity of people that makes life worth living.
Lighten up, ya righty conno.
His smarmy face almost erases the memory of Tony Abbott with no shirt on. That will haunt me for life.
Why am I able to read Perez Hilton, look up pictures of men's genitalia on Google, watch episodes of MTV's "The Hills" and look up gunshot victims at goregallery.com on my work computer, but when I try to navigate to your site, I get a very foreboding "access denied" message?
Have you done something in your past that I am not aware of that has led to you being public enemy number 1?
What am I to do?
Opposition, not rebel, without a cause.

I may never ride a motorbike again.
as much as nelson isnt my preferred opposition leader, that kind of remark is best left to the pre-dispositioned street press and other publishings that lack real journalistic impartiality and therefore credibitilty - though maybe thats the category the tele belongs in ?
ps. i thought nelson responded relatively well to the issue on the 730 report tonight.
Or is that rats?
Lano would have made a more convincing homeless person.
It sure is lucky she can't READ.
Oh well, lucky we dont have to worry about that really.
Nice work ms fits. Though I agree with Nyree- that pic of Tony 'Mohair' Abbott was not for lunchtime viewing.
Without even thinking, my favourite rock group is, and always has been AC/DC!
This is almost as bad as when JWH professed a fondness for Bob Dylan.
thanks squib for the jack-russell-hate support.
"see" has a point though. Ridiculing BN, TA et al is like tormenting dying animals. Stop it! Or at least do it in private!
but more importantly, I like Dad's Army, I'm even just about to go watch some on DVD. Don't pay out on Dad's Army just because some random fly by night liberal polly is sullying their good name.
See..... you are as thick as Abbott's boobie hair. This is a Blog, not the ABC nor even a piece of journalism, no balance required here.
Michael with the SoHF sorry you can't get your money back. Sook off and cry in your beer elsewhere.
Neither funny nor interesting.
But judging by the readers comments, they enjoy this nothing meterial. No doubt all looking forward to the return of Good News Week.
Ps. i vote for labor
