Nicky alert. Nicky alert!!

COXY'S Big Break girl Nicky Whelan is taking the next step in her headlong rush towards Logies, Emmys and Oscars.
She's picked up a role in one of the few halfway interesting sounding events of the Fringe Festival.
The blonde bombshell is a waxer in Hot Waxxx, by local playwright Susan Ellis.
One day, receptionist Britney doesn't turn up for work at the beauty-waxing-tanning salon.
Nicky and her fellow waxers find her tied up and seriously over tanned in the tanning booth.
Britney tells the girls that their boss, another waxer called John, held her prisoner.
I won't spoil things by telling too much about the revenge the girls get on John, but waxing will never be the same again.
The play will open in about three weeks at Goldy in South Melbourne.

What a Life.

"Piss off kid, I busy"!

In the habit.

This joke comes via Pat's blog.

Four nuns are trying to get into heaven. They approach St. Peter and he asks the first nun, "Have you ever touched a penis?" She says, "Yes, I did touch one with my finger one time." He says, "That's okay, just rinse your finger in the holy water and you can come in."
St. Peter asks the second nun, "Did you ever touch a penis?" The nun says, "Yes, I touched it with my hand." He says, "That's okay. Just rinse your hand in the holy water and you can come in."
Suddenly, the fourth nun says, "If you think I'm going to gargle with that after she sticks her ass in it, you're crazy!"

Buzz-the-Fuzz

Yesterday's Buzz-the-Fuzz was part of Bluey Day, a national event held annually to raise money for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Bluey Day was on Saturday and saw emergency services personnel and community members raise $1000 for the privilege of losing their hair.

In 10 years, Bluey Day has raised $17 million.
Buzz-the-Fuzz co-ordinator Sen-Constable Craig Amezdroz said the event was a big success.

Shavers were FOX FM's Matt Tilley, celebrity hairdresser Edward Beale, Bluey Day founder Sgt Karl David and former Big Brother housemates Reggie Bird and Igor Vurmeski.
While they spent four hours shaving heads, organisers sold merchandise and rattled tins to raise funds for children.

During the event, Andrea Rasile, 7, was named 2005 Bluey Day's Youngest Achiever after organising an event in Thomastown last Sunday.
His mother Kathy had three of her four children, including Andrea, stricken with cancer or a life-threatening illness.

I think until Andrea participated in Bluey Day,

the record for the youngest partcipant was held by

my workmate Nick DeKunder's daughter, Ailsa.

THE future of Channel 7's weekend lifestyle program Melbourne Woman looks bleak after the departure of Cindy Sargon.
Sargon, who hosted the first series of the magazine-style program, left the show earlier this month.
Bubbly blonde Nicky Whelan confirmed on Friday night she will take over as the show's host. Andi Lew and Renee Henderson will remain with the program.
For those that don't know, Nicky went to school with WNASF "Great quote" supplier and return visitor, Scott.

Party in a lather

"WASH your hands, Jeffrey. With the Solvol, Jeffrey." The 1970s advertising refrain for Solvol soap is remembered fondly by many in the same vein as "You're soaking in it" and "Have a Bex, a cup of tea, and a good lie down".

Solvol, the abrasive soap that generations of Australians have turned to for the big cleaning jobs, celebrated its 90th birthday yesterday.

Blues worst effort of 2005: Pagan

Carlton coach Denis Pagan offered a blunt assessment of his side's performance after the Blues suffered a mammoth 99-point thrashing at the hands of Essendon at the MCG on Sunday.

Essendon has registered its highest-ever score against Carlton as the rampant Bombers destroyed the Blues 28.14 (182) to 11.17 (83).

Matthew Lloyd and Mark Johnson were the chief destroyers for the Dons with seven and six goals respectively, with Johnson also gathering 26 possession
James Hird was outstanding for the Bombers with 29 touches and three goals as was Scott Lucas with 27 disposals and a goal.
Jason Johnson also put in his usual consistant performance in his 150th senior game.

Lance Whitnall was the best for Carlton with 22 possessions and 10 marks, while Heath Scotland also gathered 26 touches and took 11 marks.

Amazingly, the Bombers simply weren't switched on as the game got underway and the Blues took advantage - jumping out to a 19-point lead with just under 10 minutes on the clock.
Carlton had taken 18 marks to Essendon's one at that point and should have been further in front as both Jarrad Waite and Brendan Fevola missed set shots at goal.

It didn't look like it was going to be the Dons' day as both Ricky Dyson and Kepler Bradley missed golden opportunities to register their side's first goal, but Jobe Watson sparked the amazing scoring avalanche when he goaled at the 12-minute mark.

It was as if master coach Kevin Sheedy had just flicked a switch from his lofty perch up in the stands and the Blues did not get a look in for the rest of the quarter (or the match for that matter).

Crikey, look at the colourisation of the clarat!

Scientists in Australia's tropical north are collecting blood from crocodiles in the hope of developing a powerful antibiotic for humans, after tests showed that the reptile's immune system kills the HIV virus.

The crocodile's immune system is much more powerful than that of humans, preventing life-threatening infections after savage territorial fights which often leave the animals with gaping wounds and missing limbs.

"They tear limbs off each other and despite the fact that they live in this environment with all these microbes, they heal up very rapidly and normally almost always without infection," said U.S. scientist Mark Merchant, who has been taking crocodile blood samples in the Northern Territory.

Initial studies of the crocodile immune system in 1998 found that several proteins (antibodies) in the reptile's blood killed bacteria that were resistant to penicillin, such as Staphylococcus aureus or golden staph, Australian scientist Adam Britton told Reuters on Tuesday. It was also a more powerful killer of the HIV virus than the human immune system.

"If you take a test tube of HIV and add crocodile serum it will have a greater effect than human serum. It can kill a much greater number of HIV viral organisms," Britton said from Darwin's Crocodylus Park, a tourism park and research centre.

Britton said the crocodile immune system worked differently from the human system by directly attacking bacteria immediately an infection occurred in the body.

"The crocodile has an immune system which attaches to bacteria and tears it apart and it explodes. It's like putting a gun to the head of the bacteria and pulling the trigger," he said.

Hird to play on but not as captain.

James Hird has announced he will play on next year, but appears likely to step down as captain in order to focus on his form and keeping his body sound.

Making the announcement from Essendon's Hall of Fame on Tuesday, Hird said he had signed a one-year deal to play in 2006 and was mentally preparing for next season to be his last.

"It takes a lot of emotional energy … thinking about whether you should play on and I'm actually glad now that I've made a decision," Hird said.

"It's a decision for 2006 that excites me. This will be it and I can really put all my energies into the last two games of this year and the rest of next year.
While exact figures were not disclosed, Essendon chief executive Peter Jackson said the terms of the deal were significantly lower than Hird's previous contract.

Hird cited his love of the game and the excitement generated by the Bombers' developing playing group as the primary reasons for his decision.

While he was approaching next year as his last, Hird left the door open for a re-think if his body was sound and the team's form warranted it.

"You never say never. Why would you if we have a great year as a team and personally you play well and you contribute, why would you shut the door?," he said.

I should turn this into a James Hird fansite.

NEW MP3

I've finally done it.

Thanks to Brad from "Same Old Shit Different Blog" I'm able to bring you some great music that you can download straight from this site.

Brad found a website that hosts music files for nothin. It's free.

So I've gotten rid of the music clips out of the sidebar again (because they shit me. you have to press the stop button everytime you get the site up) and replaced them with a new addition to WNASF, "Great MP3's"

I'll add more music in time, and take some off when I think you've had enough opportunity to download it for yourself.

Enjoy.

mmm mmm yes very interesting..........
