Does everything but fix divots
These before and after photos show an unhappy shower head and a happy shower head. Thanks to a great deal at Kmart, my shower head can be comforted in the fact that it's got some shower jewelery. Originally $9.99, reduced to $7, and then $6. But I found myself at the register, the price came up $5. I wasn't complaining. What a bargain. Unfortunately they didn't give me a further student discount.
I am told that shower caddies will be on sale until Sunday.
Thanks to the Culinary Critic aka Matt Lorkin, for driving me to Robina Town Centre to make this purchase.

The mind boggles as to why you seem to need shampoo.
Slow news day?
Maybe someone else uses the shower.
I promise that I will refrain from commenting after this contribution. Everyone who visits this blog might remember that several weeks ago Gord was unfairly accused of behaving like a school yard bully by the father of another Bond student.
At the time I thought this seemed a bit rich as bully is definatley not how you would describe Gord. Anyway to cut a long story short I was reading the Asutralian Financial Review this morning and noticed an article about Parental Bullying. According to this article recent surveys of graduates in North America have found that students in their 20s and 30s are embarressed and overwhelmed about the extent of their parents involvment in their daily lives. The article mentioned that univeristy academics are experiencing an increase in parental bullying and are finding that parents will insist on arguing with them about their kids grades at univeristy.
I can tell you that I would be very embarressed indeed if my parents argued about my grades with academics or if they felt the need to monitor university blogs. The last time I can recall my parents taling to teachers was in High School.
Enough for now I have to finish writing a job application for promotion which is about as exciting as shoving 20 cent coins up a cats bum.
I swear Gordon, I'm so bored. Write something interesting before I slit my wrists. What has happened to this blog? It used to be a point of political discussion, a place we could visit to gripe about Bond University, a place of light hearted remarks and immature humour. The magic has faded. Bring back Drew, Jack, Emma and your staff. Breathe life into this thing before it's too late.
In response to the Phantom I have some political updates for the past week.
Firstly, to any Australian students who want to learn about how the American polical system works I suggest you watch the West Wing which is showing at 9:30PM on the ABC tonight. While I appreciate that this is a Canadian blog I think that what is happening in the West Wing at the moment has a lot of political relevance in Australia at the moment.
Secondly, last weekend I came accross a very upset sales assistant in Manuka which is Canberra's equivalent of Double . This woman told me that she had just been verbally abused by you guessed it our very own Labor Senator for the ACT, who is effectionatley known in Canberra political circles as Senator Lumpy. According to this sales assistant she was abused by the Senator for not calling her by her title. As the woman pointed out to me she knows who the Prime Minsiter is and some of the more high profile politicians but she doesn't know everyone and in any event most VIPs don't expect to be called by their official title. Personally, if I may comment here I think there is prima facie case of verbal abuse. For a start it was the weekend and the Senator was not on Senatorial duties. Apart from anything else it is inappropriate for public officials to expect special treatment.
Thirdly, earlier this week the blonde Tania Plibersyk MP and Member for Sydney was spotted at the Kingston Drive-Through Bottleshop in a chauffered Comcar buying Vodka Cruisers.
Fourthly, on a more serious note Julia Gillard MP the Deputy Opposition Leader was responsible for delaying a Parliamentary Dabate about Aged Care on Valentines Day. Some might ask why it was necessary to re-schedule the debate. According to my sources Julia was experiencing one of those diary moments as she had already scheduled an appointment with her hairdresser boyfriend from Melbourne that afternoon as she was going to be on the 7:30 Report debating the merits of the Workplace Relations Bill with the Minister the Hon.Joe Hockey MP.
Finally, I am attending a lecture by the Canadian Judge Advocate General (JAG) next week which should be interesting.
I have a complaint for the culinary critic. They keep running out of sugar free red bull.... see what you can do.

I fucking love this, I might add that I think this is the epitome or weakness, but i would like to add this to my submission in Blackburn v Anderson, keep up the good work my friend
Question Time descended into chaos on Thursday. The week started well for the Opposition following the Prime Mininster's comments about Senator Abama. However, the Government wiped the floor with Peter Garrett singing songs about US Forces Getting the Nod. Rudd the cleaver tactician despite all of this has for the managed to neutralise terroism and security issues. In a week that started our with people buying Vodka Cruisers turned out to be a real headache.
On Thursday one Government member appeared to have been on the turps at lunch time and kept laughing everytime he tried to ask the relevant Minister a question. While good old Alexander Downer accused Wayne Swan of being neveau and it became progressivley worse.

If you can't spell, please don't bother commenting. From this point forward I will no longer post comments that include grammatical errors or spelling mistakes.
Gordon,
I agree with you about the spelling errors on the blog I mean who ever heard of someone being cleaver. Correct me if I am wrong but a cleaver is something we use for meat.
My humble excuse for all of this is that I have a compacted tooth at the moment and I am in absolute agony. I am very much looking forward to visiting the dentist later this week.
It has been suggested before that Bannanas in Pyjamas is the most appropriate show to screen after Question Time.
Today I showed a fellow Bond student around town. We started at Jones the Grocer in Manuka for some light refreshments. Followed by tours of Old Parliament House, New Parliament House and the National Library.
I also showed my friend where she would be working and she couldn't believe that there was this big building in the middle of a paddock.
This has nothing at all to do with the comments made under this article but I don't care. Gord, I travelled through your home town of North Bay, Ontario twice this weekend. The Tim Horton's, Wendy's and Mr. Gas all served me well on my journeys. Just to let you know it was cold as, but broke up my drive home rather nicely. When you return I'll stop in and we'll go for a few boillermakers. I was thinking about that Fanny's place. It looks like a nice respectable establishment hahaha...
Gordon
What is that 'green thing for'?
Was it always green?
Do you let it dry out between use?
I understand if you dont dry it out it will 'harbour' bacteria! It may be the case it's not yours or you 'use' it on someone else?!
Manuka has some 'fine dining'. 'Otterman's was the best but I understand the original owners sold out a few years back?
And Gordon I dont think it is very hygenic to have your tooth brush (assuming that the toothbrush is for your teeth) in the shower. You will be 'splashing' soap etc on it! The toothbrush needs to be dried out between use or it will also 'harbour' bacteria. At least you should 'elevate' its standing in the 'shower caddy'. By the way it was on special for $6 but when the lovely young lady 'rang' it up it was priced at $5. As a prospective lawyer I may have an 'ethical' duty to 'challenge' your admission as a Solicitor.
You had an ethical duty to disclose the error my friend. I am duty bound to disclose it.
not everyone is giftd in speling lic you Gord. donte bee so cuik to juje people you ass monger.
He's got the shampoo so that when he decides to date me I'll be set for sleep-overs hahahahah
Otterman's is still wonderful and is located in the old Barton Cafeteria building and has private dinning rooms. Now you have mentioned it I want to go again. In fact, I also came accross an authentic middle eastern cook book which had the same recipes which are on the menu at Ottermans.
Phew if I could earn half a million tax free every year I could dine at the Ottermans more often.
you should have caught the bus
or teleported
