Are You on Orble's Honour Roll?

February 8th 2010 05:08

This year marks my third with the Orble network - and while I most definitely wasn't the first on board - I have seen hundreds - in fact thousands of new Orblers join the community in that time.

Some, whom I've come to know personally have since moved on to greener pastures, some are still with us and some still drop by occassionally to pass comment or simply say hello

Elvis - The king of Pop Culture Icons?

Who have been (or are) the greatest pop culture icons of our era?

Living or dead, real or fiction - to name just one would hardly be fair - but to even get it down to the five most identifyable Pop Icons of the last 75 years is almost as tough

TV Teen Crushes!

February 1st 2010 02:14

After almost 30 years, a friend of mine admitted on the weekend he had an almost insatiable crush back in the time of Melissa Sue Anderson from Little House on The Prairie.

How did information come to light you might ask - well it appears that his son is totally smitten with Hannah Montana herself - Miley Cyrus and thought it prudent to include his own piece of teen crush history to the conversation

Puzzling Question of The Day

January 21st 2010 21:54

From the mouths of babes.

How is it that four-year-olds can come up with the most amazing questions - to which we - so called grown-ups have no real answers

Great 'Ockerisms' - oi oi oi !

January 20th 2010 23:05

Aussie Aussie Aussie . . . .

If the terms 'budgie smugglers', 'banana bender' or 'drongo' mean something to you then chances are - you're an Aussie.

In fact, whether you're a Bloke or a Sheila, enjoy a Bundy or just a Cold Longneck - here's the Good Oil . . . we can speak in tongue so virtually no other nationality can understand us

Things they DIDN'T teach me at school

January 20th 2010 06:35

Peg Yourself as a Dunce or Dux?

Ever heard the saying - life's hardest lessons are learnt outside of school?

Sure - we pick up alot of the basics from putting our collective noses to the grindstone in the classroom - but some of life's best learnt wisdoms come from living

The 5 Best Animated Movie of All Time?

January 14th 2010 20:35

Friendly banter turned to heated competition just the other day as a group of friends and I engaged (with some fervour) the virtures of exactly what should lay claim to the greatest animated movie of all time.

The candidates were none too shoddy - with Fantasia, Snow White, Dumbo, The Lion King and Toy Toy Story being the big movers - yet votes also came from the least likely quarters including Lady and Tramp, Antz and even a Japanese classic (which frankly I'd never heard of) called Akira

Drive-Ins - retro cool or bogan?

January 9th 2010 21:12

There is only one drive-in theatre left in the greater Sydney area when only 20 years ago there were 12!
