Bali bomber Amrozi was sentenced to a little over two years in prison for his role in killing over 200 innocent people.

Schapelle Corby was sentenced to twenty years in prison for having 4.1kg of marijauana in her body-board bag - despite the prosecution never actually having to prove it was hers or that she knew it was there, and despite baggage handlers in Australia being currently under investigation for their involvement in drug smuggling.

The “Scales of Justice” do not exist in the Indonesian court system, but I was still hoping that perhaps common sense did.

Silly me.

Here’s a quiz to test your knowledge of TV theme songs. See how many you can get. I’ll post the answers in a few days

1. “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot… Sometimes
you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad
you came…”

2. “We’re a movin’ on up, (We’re a movin on up.) To the east side.
(Mo-vin on up.) To a de-luxe apartment, In the sky-. Mo-vin’ on up
(Mo-vin on up.) To the east side, (Mo-vin on up.) We finally got a piece
of the pie.”

3. “Come and knock on our door, we’ve been waiting for you, where the
kisses are hers and hers and his… Come and dance on our floor, take a
step that is new, we’ve a loveable space that needs your face… You’ll
see that life is a ball again and laughter is callin’ for you”

4. “What would we do baby, without us?…What would we do baby, without
us?… And there ain’t no nothing we can’t love each other through…
What would we do baby, without us? Sha la la la…”

5. “Believe or not I’m walking on air, I never thought I could feel so
free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it
or not it’s just me…”

6. “Now, the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum, what might
be right for you, may not be right for some. A man is born, he’s a man
of means. Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans…”

7. “Show me that smile again. Don’t waste another minute on your
cryin’…We’re nowhere near the end. The best is ready to begin.
Oooohhh. As long as we got each other , We got the world spinnin’ right
in our hands…”

8. “Love, exciting and new, Come aboard. We’re expecting you! Love,
life’s sweetest reward. Let it flow, it floats back to you…Set a
course for adventure, your mind on a new romance. Love won’t hurt
anymore, It’s an open smile on a friendly shore…”

9.”Just two good old boys, Never meaning no harm. Beats all you ever you
saw, Been in trouble with the law Since the day they were born.”

I hate making phone calls. Not regular, ordinary chatty ones, like when I ring my Mum or a friend, but to companies, stores and the like.

I don’t mind phoning for an appointment, or ordering pizza, or similar calls where the process is usually the same every time, and I know the call will be quick. But I hate making calls where I don’t know exactly what will happen, or what I might be asked, or what I’ll have to say.

I hate making calls about the gas, electricity, or phone.
I hate making phone enquiries to shops and businesses.
And most of all, I hate having to call somewhere to tell someone that their service is crap or they’ve done something terribly wrong. Even if they really, truly deserve my wrath.

It doesn’t make sense, because I am a quick-thinking and confident speaker and can talk out of my butt with the best of them. Why is it that I can get up on stage and sing, dance, act, or make a speech in front of hundreds of people, but can’t make a basic phone call?

I really love Telstra and Hotmail at the moment, because they both have a service whereby you can ’speak’ to an operator LIVE AND ON-LINE! I’ve been able to add and cancel services with them by typing to them in a little chat box. I love it and wish more businesses had it as an option.

Today I have to ring the gas company. It’s for a very simple reason, an enquiry, not a complaint. I need to find out what day the meter reader will be here, so that I can make sure the gate is unlocked on that day so that he/she can access the meter in our backyard.

It should only take a couple of minutes, and then it will be over and done with, and I won’t have to make the same call again for another three months. But it has taken me a whole week to get around to it. And I’m still procrastinating. I simply don’t want to do it.

But I have to. So here I go…..
