now there's a word u don't see every day - in fact, i have never seen it before! until i read it on a newspaper website this morning. it looks bizarre, doesn't it?! is it even a 'legit' word - one which is in a dictionary? i can't be ar$ed to look it up right now.
and before the end of yesterday's melbourne cup horse race, i didn't know for sure what a quinella was. i could guess what a trifecta is, from the 'tri' bit; but a quinella? i probably had thought (correctly) at some point that it referred to a successful bet on both 1st- & 2nd-place finishers in a race, but maybe the 'quin' bit got me a bit confused as i thought maybe that referred to five in some way.
i'm not into horse-racing anyhow.
but i've often got to bring in some inane reference to a song or album i like or know, don't i?! and so: 'quinella holiday' is a track on midnight oil's 1981 album 'place without a postcard'.
quinellaed ... the word seems a bit dodgy, somehow ...

I'm guessing that if YOU were the one to give birth your opinion might be somewhat altered :).But if you got one of each-got to be happy with that -that was well done!
for a bit of music fun, go here:

(which is a blog belonging to a lovely lady named beth)
and then click on where it says spreadsheet (which takes you to another place) - has a list of 1001 albums that you should listen to -you put a "1" next to each one you've listened to and it adds it up for you.
