Inception music and cat videos. Seamless.
Kevin Rudd has invited me to apply for an internship in his electorate office. I’m not making this up.
Life cannot get any better than corgis playing netball. Except for Kevin Rudd offering one an internship. Paul, I urge you to accept.
Not whimsical, but gorgeous. Dan Sultan. Fitzroy in luminous black and white photography. Enjoy.

(Don’t think Spambot likes my sockpuppet).
Ooh, Paul, now you can appear on Insiders.
That’s amazing, Paul. I love that you posted this under whimsy.
Thank you, Fine – that vclip made my afternoon.
Maybe the turnover is as quick as they say, Paul, and they are already covered everyone in the state with a surname before N that can’t make the bloody coffee proper.
My first ever pet was a Corgi. Bit one of my sister’s friends and got put down for it.
That’s rather harsh.
It was really. I think we were the dogs third owners and it had been mistreated before us. Plus they are sheep dogs by nature. It was only a little nip too.
To make things worse my Mum lied to us about it. Told us the dog had goen to a farm one day while we were at school. Got the truth from her years later that she had it put down.
@2 – good luck. Hope you enjoy long hours.
An internship?
Paul, I’m guessing that you’re the same age as the PM, pushing 50.
You might be the first grown-up on Rudds staff Paul. A wise head will be most usefull I’m sure, so good luck and stay true to yer beliefs.
Paul
Do it. Your a star. Kevin (and we) needs people like you.
Those corgis are just the beex knees – so to speak.
That’s very sad, Razor – not at all whimsical.
I’ve only met a few corgis, but they’ve all been delightful dogs.
Ah, corgis.
As a child, I had a Corgi/Dachshund/Alsatian crossbreed.
It used to chase airliners away.
People, thank you for the career advice. I’m actually guessing that an internship in an electorate office these days will involve searching Facebook and other social networking sites for the names of everyone on the electoral roll for the electorate concerned, and entering their personal info, status updates, friends and “Likes” in one of the databases that the parties use for targeted campaigning.
Sounds stimulating, Paul. But aren’t you a bit old to be one of Kev’s boys?
When he was PM he seemed to be surrounded by pimply youths.
Is that so Paul Norton? – Well then let this be a lesson to everyone – it seems that if you insist on talking about Jenny from the Block in your status updates, Kevin Rudd gets all interested in you.
@19, Norto, that would result in some pretty amusing campaign letters:
—-Oh no he ditten!—-
My opponent’s policies will restrict the smell of hot chips when you first open the paper bag and prevent you from popping bubble-wrap with your fingers.
But I believe all Australians should be able to express their views, which is why I support calls to Bring Back Firefly!

Spock spent an awful lot of time looking at his computer screen, didn’t he?
What WAS Spock always looking at on the bridge of the “Enterprise”?

Third time lucky?
Worth your persistence thanks Terangeree
If at first you don’t succeed… find something else to do that won’t make you look so foolish.
Some upthread stoush was just deleted.
As you were.
