Gingers extinct in 100 years, say scientists
REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.
The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world's population has natural red hair, created by a mutation in northern Europe thousands of years ago.
Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and producing little redheads of their own.
It takes only one red-haired parent to produce ginger-headed babies, but two redheads obviously create a much stronger possibility. If the gingers really want to save themselves they should move to Scotland. An estimated 40 per cent of Scots carry the red gene and 13 per cent actually have red hair.
Some experts say that redheads could be gone as early as 2060, but others say the gene can be dormant for generations before returning.
National Geographic says the gene at first had the beneficial effect of increasing the body's ability to make vitamin D from sunlight. However, today's carriers are more prone to skin cancer and have a higher sensitivity to heat and cold-related pain.

Being Australian...
is about driving in a German car
to an Irish pub for A Belgian beer,
then on the way home,
grabbing an Indian curry or A Turkish kebab,
to sit on Swedish furniture
and watch American shows
on a Japanese TV.
Oh and Only in Australia can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Australia do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Australia do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Australia do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Australia do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
NOT TO MENTION...
3 Aussies die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
58 Aussies are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
31 Aussies have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
8 Aussies had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Aussies were admitted to Emergency in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
and finally.........In 2000 eight Aussies cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

Rent increase
Pressure on the rental market has forced my landlords to decide to increase my rent by 10%. Although they think that this will be more money in their pockets they are mistaken. Over the years from previous tenants the house has taken a pretty good battering. The walls look like they survived through world war II in Berlin and contain cracks that richie benough would lose an entire ring of keys down. The tiles are falling off, the doors don't close, the heater doesn't work properly, the taps drip and the garage is falling apart. The gardens have lived through the drought by employing weeds to do the job of real plants and the timber floor looks like offcuts from a sawmill.
All of these problems will be fixed if the rent is to increase, the real estate agent is coming over on Wednesday to assess the damage and I get the morning off to show her.
Wednesday will be a good day for me I hope, and a really bad one for the landlords.
I wish someone would just give me a house! Maybe I will take up squatting.

I forgot my mobiles and am hating it....
I forgot both my phones this morning and feel naked even though I am dressed to impress (not naked). Who would of thought that not having those two little electronic devices would make someone feel so insecure or that they were missing a part of themselves. To top it all off I am supposed to receive two fuckin important phonecalls this morning!
It hasn’t been the best start to the day, the tram was packed, it was cold as antartica, I forgot my phones, my ipod kept freezing and it’s nearly out of battery and I have eight hours of work ahead of me.
To top it all off I have a feeling that my house will probably be broken into again today and my beloved phones will be stolen considering there is nothing else in the house of value. If that happens I am calling the official worst day ever.

No holidays is as good as a change...
I only have two bloody hours leave left till the end of the year! I don’t know how that happened but along the way something must of fucked up! It doesn’t feel like I have been on holidays at all! I mean going to Perth isn’t a holiday, having your house broken into isn’t a holiday, and all the times I have been too hung-over should have been sick days! Maybe that’s what happened?
On the flipside for some reason I have accrued 208 hours sick leave that I should be entitled too so maybe it’s time to catch the flu (mildly).

Tha Weekend is nearly here
Unfortunately for my place of work I have been on my long weekend since yesterday. Work used to be alright but lately I am counting down the hours till I win lotto. Will I want to work still? Of course not. Hopefully my lotto dream will come true this weekend if it doesn't I am thinking of gambling my entire next pay on the horses, which I know nothing about just to see if I do have a bit of luck on my side. Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness is a fuckhead because if I had money I wouldn't have to work which in turn would make me happy.
