Bricey was telling his mum a story about godzilla.

He used the line "godzilla got pissed".

Intrigued. Moira did a search on "godzilla got pissed" and found the lyrics to a song called The Ultimate Showdown.

She clicked a bit and found "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny", which is "a musical tale of the greatest battle to ever occur ever".

and it's very very funny.

Bricey had seen his brothers looking at this clip earlier and remember the classic line "godzilla got pissed".

He's now telling me about Chuck Norris kicking someone in the crotch and wants to show me....

I got a call on Friday from a very excited Emma Arrigo

She had just been elected Computer Captain for her class. She was voted in by aher classmates

I was able to get a photo of here with her badge today.

She doesn't know what it means yet, as she hasn't had her computer class. BUT she is very excited and I am very proud

Yesterday (Feb 9 2006), was our 15th Wedding Anniversary.

15 years ago, Moira and I were married at a little ceremony in Canberra, surrounded by our friends and families, after having moved there from Melbourne.

Now, 15 years and 4 kids later, with moves from Canberra to Seattle and then finally settling into Sydney, our journey continues.

Here's to you Moira!

The traditional gift for a 15 Year Anniversary is Crystal. Moira's mum is from Waterford, Ireland so perhaps a gift of Waterford Crystal is in order.

We did some "open house" touring this weekemd. Moira has got the moving bug again.

One of the places we went to see was a riot! It had a name - Camelot and a tag line - "A house fit for a King".

What was truly bizarre was the interior, It reminded me of one of Saddam Hussein's Palaces.

As we looked around the house we saw photos of the "Man Of The House" with John Howard (yes, the Prime Minister), and as we wandered around, the photos were more bizarre including one of the "Man Of The House" in full milirary uniform and a Gun. I wanted to take a photo, but the estate agent was nearby.

We reckon this house belonged to an Iraqi official, maybe an envoy that assisted the AWB who had recently left the country. It definitly had that feel to it.

If you are in Sydney, go check it out. The address is 96 Livingstone Avenue, Pymble.
