Curtain Comes Down Early For Cubs In Game 3
Filed Under Country Curtain | Posted on October 5, 2008
This one happened in the first inning and was the worst possible nightmare for the Cubs. Already facing a must-win situation, the Cubs quickly fell behind 2-0, taking the wind out of their sails.

Filed Under Kitchen Curtain | Posted on September 17, 2008
‘Unfulfilled promise’ has often been a phrase used to describe Graeme Hick’s career so it may be cruelly apt if his final season before retirement is cut short by injury.

Curtain up on a packed season
Filed Under Kitchen Curtain | Posted on July 22, 2008
IT IS undoubtedly an English resort that time and tourists have knocked about a bit.
And although it was once described by a leisure boss as stylish-tacky, when it comes to good-value shows, Blackpool still proves Britain really has got talent. For example, there’s Forbidden, the biggest and most lavish production ever staged at The Gobe [...]
Curtain call for game 150
Filed Under Country Curtain | Posted on June 11, 2008
And Curtain will enter the record books at the Demons because he will be the youngest to achieve life membership when he runs on to Bellerive Oval for the second versus third clash against Clarence.

Trent Cotchin was on the MCG, wearing a Coburg jumper, warming up and running through his plans for the VFL match.

Ideas A picture and a thousand words
Filed Under Kitchen Curtain | Posted on April 6, 2008
If a picture is equivalent to 1,000 words, then dividing this strip of four photobooth images into 250 words apiece is too tempting to resist. Starting at the top, we see a couple looking at each other, instead of the camera lens. This polyptych is taken from historical photo collector N盲kki Goranin’s new book, American [...]
