The FAT Website.  Poor old thing has been neglected badly for the past three months.  Apologies to our readership for the infrequent updates and distinct lack of new content since July.  I’ve been kept super busy in July and August, hanging out with visiting friends and family.  I thought I’d get back into the swing of things in September but ...

The Lego Minifigs Series 11 came out about a month ago.  Using the time honoured ‘bag-feeling’ method, Jen and I have picked up 14 out of 16 characters so far.  We’re still missing Grandma and Blues Brother.  We’ve been pretty successful with our blind buys so far – we haven’t bought a single duplicate in the entire series.

The latest Galaxy Poll shows the LNP pulling ahead in two party preferred polls.  It’s not an unassailable margin but at this point, a betting man would be wise to put money on Tony Abbott and the conservatives regaining power in September. This is a disappointing development to say the least.  The only positive I take out of it is ...
