From Wikipedia:

Iran has between 15,000 and 20,000 transsexuals, according to official statistics, although unofficial estimates put the figure at up to 150,000. Iran carries out more gender change operations than any country in the world besides Thailand. Sex changes have been legal since the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, spiritual leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution, passed a fatwa authorising them nearly 25 years ago. Whereas homosexuality is considered a sin, transsexuality is categorised as an illness subject to cure. While the government seeks to keep its approval quiet, state support has increased since Ahmadinejad took office in 2005. His government has begun providing grants of £2,250 for operations and further funding for hormone therapy. It is also proposing loans of up to £2,750 to allow those undergoing surgery to start their own businesses.

Until the end of last week I was catching an early train to Tonsley. There's this guy who would, for the whole train ride, loudly talk like the Swedish Chef: 'Bork bork york, etc.' He would then follow up with the odd beep beep noise. Imagine that guys who rides around the Adelaide CBD who goes 'beep beep', but making train noises instead.

Anyway. When I heard Bjork was playing BDO I thought of him. Even though you don't really say Bjork to rhyme with Bork.

Sorry my blog is a bit boring. Stuff just doesn't really happen to me. Likewise I can't write funny stuff off the cuff (makes Australian Idol almost worth an occasional watch).

If you know me well enough you would know that my favourite band ever is The Smashing Pumpkins. While my favourite (and in my opinion, under appreciated) member, James Iha
will not be rejoining the band on the newest album, I'm still really excited to hear the new stuff. D'arcy is not returning either. Last I saw of her was an awful photo post plastic surgery and friendship with Mickey Rourke.

After Zwan (I was NOT a fan), BIlly seems to have taken on board that the masses just want to hear the Pumpkins rock.

When I first heard the new single, Tarantula, I was initially shocked by the horrible first lines that rhyme 'Fight' with 'Night'. But then I realised that this song rocks! and how much it reminds me of their first demos from the late 80's. Billy has really stripped it back to the roots.

So my officialy opinion is that I like it!
