Miranda Kerr Defends Embarrassed Aussie Banker
Feb 5th
Australian model Miranda Kerr has spoken out in defense of the Aussie banker caught ogling her photos on live television earlier this week. David Kiely of Macquarie Private Wealth was seen in the background of a news item looking at photos of Kerr much to his embarrassment. The video of the news item has been watched over 2 million times in the three days it has been on Youtube.
Kerr has voiced her support for Mr Kiely who she says should not be sacked: “I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it,”. Despite reports of Mr Kiely being let go he is apparently still employed at Macquarie Private Wealth although he is thought to have been suspended whilst investigations take place. The fact that he was sent the photos via email suggests that he may have been set up by a workmate.
Various petitions and Facebook groups have sprung up in the banker’s defense and concerned viewers have been emailing the bank in order to try and protect his job. The photos in question from Miranda Kerr’s recent GQ feature are not that explicit so it is hoped that the filthy banker will be back at work soon.
Aussies Celebrate Australia Day
Jan 28th
It feels like it has been winter in England for about the last 10 months, the sky is permanently gray and my kitchen is somehow always colder than the inside of the fridge. As I was eating my breakfast in front of the fire wondering if it was worth bothering to open the curtains I saw a clip on the television of Australians celebrating their national day. Personally if I lived in a country where it is always sunny and everybody hangs around on the beach all week (don’t pretend they don’t) I would celebrate every day.
The Australia day celebrations seemed designed to annoy those of us in the northern hemisphere who are in the depths of winter. Footage of people surfing and sunbathing and generally having a great time in the sun are the last thing I want to see in the middle of January. I consoled myself with the thought that it was very unlikely that I would be bitten by any native species in England whereas in Australia at least two thirds of the creatures are deadly.
The newsreader said that one of the events taking place was the ‘Havaianas Thong Challenge’ that disappointingly turned out to be something to do with flip-flops. There was also Vegemite wrestling (in rather than against) and presumably quite a few barbecues taking place.
The Australians certainly seem to have a pretty great lifestyle and if flights to Australia didn’t take so long (a flight to Sydney takes over 22 hours) I would have visited by now. It actually took me longer than that to travel to Florida because we took two flights in order to keep the cost down so perhaps flying to Australia wouldn’t be so bad. I would just worry that once I got there I would be unwilling to get back on the plane and come home.
Australian beach girls warned not to paint their phone numbers on their bodies.
Oct 14th
Girls in Australia have discovered a novel way to attract boys attention when sunbathing in their bikinis. Apparently plain old sunbathing isn’t enough to attract Aussie boys attentions anymore. The girls have been writing their phone numbers on themselves with sun cream which leaves the number for all to see once they get a tan.
The girls have been warned against displaying their numbers by Campaigner Nikki Goldstein who has said
‘We’d never advise girls to broadcast their phone number on the internet or anywhere that could make them a target. They’re in their bikinis, showing off their bodies, objectifying themselves in a way that is, to my mind, a bit trashy.’
