Grand Re-Opening: Now With Added Soy

Welcome to the official re-naming ceremony for the blog. I use the the word 'official' loosely. Actually, I use the words 're-naming' and ceremony loosely too, as I am not about to smash a bottle of champagne against my computer. The poor thing doesn't really need any more reasons to run slowly. I decided to stick with the "tropical" theme because of the branding *Snort* and I the fact that I am entirely unoriginal, however, I was deposed from my position as Queen when I left Darwin, oh, last March. Don't go accusing me of making rash decisions here.
I would therefore like to welcome you to my revamped home in balmy sub-tropical Sydney. The blog is also wildly sub-par, as is my intelligence, so the name really works on many levels.

Who Wants To Step Up?

One of my favourite daily interweb activities is reading the NT News. I have never seen another newspaper with so much entertainment value. Who else has the journalistic integrity required to write those hard-hitting stories about crocs, car crashes and the bloke who only had one cheezel in his fun-size bag? That last one was not meant to be dirty. Honest.

The greatest section, by far, is Txt The Editor. It has that unique combination of public opinion and people who are unable to spell real words. Today I stumbled across this little gem:

I am a student at Taminmin high school, we are not allowed mobile phones at school yet with out bells we don't know when to go back to our classes and who is the snorkel who came up with this? jack, humpty doo

Are there any volunteers to explain the wonderful invention called the "wristwatch" to the young lad?
