Purchasing an Island
Thursday’s “lets look at all the fun shit I could never possibly afford week” and its time to get some real estate. Some may like manors, castles and rolling ranches. I’m more of a beach goer. But why stop at a luxury beachfront mansion when I can buy a whole island. I’ve always like the sound of the Bahamas as a new address. It has a nice ring to it, the climate is just right and provided global warming and hurricanes don’t sweep away my island retreat, I figure an island in the Bahamas could be very me.
Musha Cay is on the market for US$56,000,000. But good god is it a place I could easily amuse myself for the remainder of my life. The island comes complete with a 10,000 square feet plantation house with spectacular views. There are four English colonial style guest villas, eight cottages and a romantic beach house. The recreational complex is fitted with 3 bars, gymnasium, billiard room, tennis court, pool, boats and equipment for water sports.

Hummers
Wednesday’s “lets look at all the fun shit I could never possibly afford week.” I’ve decided to get the ultimate in vehicle excess a Hummer. If you’re fortunate enough to be bathing in money, who needs to worry about fuel economy? Now I could get a souped up suburbanite Hummer, but I think a genuine military vehicle hot off the streets of Kabul is more me.
Checkout this original 1986 HumVee. What an unreal toy to go coasting the streets in. Lets take a look at some of the bells and whistles. On those hot summer days, there’s a sunroof military style… Turret roof w/360 degree rotating pedestal, cantilevered roof opens forward or backwards.
Having problems with your neighbour’s dog that insists on pooping on your front lawn? Try the 50 caliber demilitarized machine gun for some enforcement power. I have visions of patrolling the neighbourhood with a Cartman, “respect my authority,” bumper sticker. Whats more, its fully submersible and can travel through and under 5 feet of water. Now tell me that is not cool?

Megayacht - Pelorus
Tuesday’s “lets look at all the fun shit I could never possibly afford week” and its time to go nautical. Now boats are something I know a little bit about so hopefully I can sort out the lemons from the gems.
Now to get me from A to B in style and with all my fun little tenders, sport fishing boats, jet skis and associated toys, I’ll be needing a big nice fuck off motoryacht. Getting one of these puppies built from scratch can take several years. So if you’re after some fun in the Mediterranean sun in a jiffy, the best bet is to find a broker and purchase a secondhand motoryacht and refit it to your tastes and style. Unless, hanging around for 5 to 10 years is your cup of tea. Motoryachts are one of the few millionaire toys that can hold onto their asset value. Indeed, Greg Norman apparently sold his Aussie Rules at a net profit. This is purely because of the large lag time between commissioning and the delivery of a megayacht.

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
This week is “lets look at all the fun shit I could never possibly afford week.” For one week lets pretend I’m Doctor Evil with one billion trillion dollars at my disposal. What are some of the fun toys people with ridiculous amounts of disposable cash can splash out on?
Firstly, why not splash out on a personal airplane. They seem to the au de rigor of celebrities and cashed up businessmen. I must say, I was very surprised with how relatively cheap getting a small light plane actually was. It seems that they are on a comparable scale with purchasing a new car.

Jesus on a Pregnancy Kit
I think this eBay auction for a piece of driftwood would have to be one of the most ambitious listings I have come across in awhile. Bidding starts at US$5,000. Little wonder there have been few bids. The bidder recounts a touching tale of frolicking along the shores of the Loch, coming across a lone piece of driftwood which she was about to toss back to the murky waters before low and behold, she realized that the impression of the Lochness monster was hidden within the grain. I must say it is somewhat refreshing not to have a yet another devine figure represented in some mundane object.

Cheap Student Classifieds
It’s tough getting by as a university student. Part time jobs don’t pay particularly well and government allowances don’t lend the typical student towards and extravagant lifestyle. When it comes to buying furniture, textbooks, clothes, computers and household appliances often the best way to get value for money is to buy secondhand. Luckily, most universities offer free or low cost classifieds ads for students in their community websites or press. These classifieds can be a terrific source for the financially challenged and are well worth a browse by any student looking for a bargain. The classifieds are a way for students to also trade/sell their goods. Firstly, because as I initially mentioned, the ads are relatively inexpensive. Secondly, because you are focusing on your niche market. There is no point spending ridiculous amounts of money advertising your used goods in a major publication when the majority of readers are not going to be interested in your wares. These are links or resources I’ve found for several university student classifieds.

Asterix & Tintin Comic Genius
Anyway, I’ve got my nephew his present, but I do believe other elders should be steering their younger siblings towards the likes of Tintin and Asterix. I’ve scoured the internet and telephone book for places where people can obtain these old school comics.

Finding Neopets
Yesterday it was Tamagotchi’s, today its Neopets.
Neopets is an incarnation of Tamagotchi’s, the difference being that Neopets are managed completely over the internet rather than with a tangible toy. The world of virtual pets provides an outlet for those who can’t own a pet. Since the virtual pet market is aimed it kids, I find it a little trippy that Neopets is really just an online virtual adult world that been coloured with flashy characters and pretty pictures. With the Neodaq index gaming feature, I fear 10 years around the world are going to surpass my limited knowledge of stockmarkets and international trading within a matter of years. Perhaps its not a bad thing and I suppose many children’s games revolve around adult play acting.

Tamagotchi, Neopets and Virtual Pets
Neopets is another of those fads which is sweeping to world’s younger generations. Today, I’m going to look at where the world of virtual pets began… Tamagotchi’s tomorrow, I’ll move onto Neopets. Tamagotchi was realeased on the world gaming stage from Japan in 1997. They were those little keyring sized three button gadgets which kept tweens occupied for hours. Basically, a user had the option of feeding or playing with their virtual pet. By regularly looking after the virtual pet, the user would ensure a happy Tamagotchi, neglect would lead to an unhappy Tamogotchi. A problem with the Tamogotchi toy was that, it needed regular attention. This would mean children would take the toy to school and could be found playing with Tamagotchi’s rather than paying attention. Most school’s ended up banning Tamagotchi’s and I’m sure many principals have confiscation draws full of the buzzing squeaking egg shaped devices. In 2005, MP Nick Xenophon campaigned for a ban of the Tamagotchi’s fearing that the new generation of toys would encourage children to gamble in the future. Apparently, a feature of the game has pokie-like qualities. Furthermore, Tamagotchi’s can kill. According to Wikipeadia, a French motorist killed a cyclist when she decided saving her Tamagotchi was a higher priority than paying attention to the road and surrounding.
Now for those that are in need of some Tamagotchi goodness there are a few places you can source them including all generations of release.

Farmers Markets
Twice a month Burnie hosts a farmers market at the Wivenhoe Showground in north west Tasmania. The markets are open from 8:30am to 12pm and include around 50 stalls with sellers offering organic, locally produced produce and handmade arts and crafts. The markets run on the first and third Saturday of every month. Burnie markets was the first farmers market to be established in Tasmania and it is still touted as the best place to purchase fresh, cheap produce. Furthermore, you get to meet the farmers who cultivate the goodies.
Burnie markets are a convenient location to catch up with local friends or absorb the local culture. There is an indoor and outdoor coffee bar. Farm animals are frequently brought to the markets providing an entertaining atmosphere for children and there is always some form of local entertainment for young and old. There is also ample parking which makes getting to the market and carting home the day’s trade hassle free.
