mmmmmm...

I do like Google

According to Google, (and it is one of the new New Testament's isn't it?) today is the 119th birthday of the first documented icecream sundae. I wonder did they eat it or just document it. If the discovery had been made here, it would probably have melted before it was documented. Or it may have washed away.












And, last Thursday was the 200th birthday of Robert Bunsen. I would think that anyone who used a science laboratory at school would remember the Bunsen burner. Robert was the co-inventor of the device. He will be remembered for that, whereas he made many significantly more important contributions to science. You can look him up. I am not sure if Robert had a sundae at his birthday party, but I do wonder if he had enough puff to blow out a Bunsen candle.

Well that's it really, isn't it - icecream and a puff of blue smoke?

Cheers Boss! We are with you.

We have a new CE.

Doug and Mavis - the story of the little tug boat that could

There have been many partners or couples in history who have become famous.

We haven't forgotten the love of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, Romeo and Juliet the star crossed lovers, the love of King Edward VIII for Wallis Simpson; even Thelma and Louise (hmmm) or the fancy footwork of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. But now there is another team who have steamed out of the horrific murky floodwaters Brisbane is experiencing at the moment.

They are Doug and Mavis. Perhaps you haven't heard of them yet, so let me introduce you.

Doug is a tug boat master who works the Brisbane River. And Mavis is his little tug boat.

Click on the link and hear the story. Even our ex Prime Minister thinks he should be nominated for an Order of Australia medal.
