My Scented Creature

I have just seen an ad for something called the Bra Warehouse Clearance. Like a rug warehouse sale, but for bras. It is a very blokey ad too, in the manner of the famous door ad (a man shouting, 'DOORS! DOORS! DOORS!' over pictures of doors). The man doing the Bra Warehouse Clearance ad says, 'Take your girlfriend, your mother or your daughter,' which could be directed at women, I suppose, but doesn't sound like it. It seemed a slightly odd message to send. But maybe there is a large untapped market of men who want to take their mothers to be fitted for cheap bras?
The most enjoyable thing about WikiLeaks has been the opportunity to hear Australia's former Prime Minister/current Foreign Minister/national headmaster, Kevin Rudd, say Julian Assange's name. He is one of those people who say foreign words with the accent of the word's original language, and he makes 'Assange' sound like the Frenchest word you've ever heard. Try it yourself next time someone asks your opinion on the topic. Hours of fun for the whole family.
Speaking of politics, Tony Abbott, the federal opposition leader, visited us here in the City by the Sea on Tuesday. He even went for a swim at a local beach to show us the famous budgie smugglers. He must travel the country doing that. While I was waiting at the city council for my job interview, there was a group of men chatting about his visit to the council offices a couple of hours earlier. One said, 'He told us that climate change was a figment of someone's imagination, so we didn't need to worry about that,' and they all laughed, like, what a wag that Tony is. Look at me, revealing private political discussions. How WikiLeaks am I?
