So Long Greg Wiggle
The Wiggles are currently riding high as Australia's top grossing performers. Bigger than AC/DC and Nicole Kidman combined. They wrote children's songs and performed on a gruelling tour schedule... today it was announced that Gerg 'Yellow' Wiggle has left the Wiggles due to a chronic condition known as orthostatic intolerance…
Put simply, it means that when Greg stands up, his heart does not compensate for the change in posture by pumping more blood around his body for it to function properly. A similar problem occurs when there is a change in the environment such as a warm room or hot weather.
This condition is causing problems with his walking, balance, speech and coordination. It relates to the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which is the way the human body regulates things we don’t consciously have to think about such as heart beat and temperature regulation. [from this press release on the Wiggles web site]
Full respect to people whose life ambition is to make other people happy.

word. new colleagues just about all have kids, so the inside news is that greg's understaudy won't be taking his role, but HIS understudy will be. Also that kathleen from hi5 now has babies with the quiet dude from savage garden, and that Kelly is now hotter than charlie (who is super skinny). Kelly is also going out with Nath (what was that about not fishing off the company pier?).
And cars was apparently a good movie.
lunchtime is a very different affair than backgammon. although the choose before you get to the foodcourt rule still stands as a good one.
