How does a skinny middle aged man in an ill-fitting schoolboy’s suit have the power to make 60,000 people stand on their feet and chant his name?

He needs to be Angus Young.

As he has been for more than 30 years, Young was the heartbeat of AC/DC’s first concert in Australia since 2001 last night at Melbourne’s Docklands Stadium.

AC/DC again proved they love a big stadium show and pulled out their full range of tricks; their massive stage and light show needs 70 semi-trailers to cart them around the country.

From the fully pyrotechnic opening with the new Rock ‘N’ Roll Train to the encore with the classic Highway To Hell, seats were superfluous.

The bigger the better for Young who, at 54, has the energy of the schoolboy whose suit he stole.

As mighty as Malcolm Young, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams are in the background, this show is all about Young, magnificently supported by Brian Johnson and his 63-year-old rasping vocals.

Young continually threw himself and his guitar around the stage and up and down a 50-metre catwalk with relentless showmanship. He didn’t stop throughout the two-hour show.

When he was elevated above the catwalk on a hydraulic platform, topless and soaked in sweat for a 20-minute guitar solo, the crowd was in the palm of his hand.

When he had earlier peeled off the first notes of the unmistakable opening to Thunderstruck, the chants went up: “Angus! Angus! Angus!”.

Back In Black was the third song. The crowd then feasted on Dirty Deeds, Thunderstruck, Hell’s Bells, Shoot To Thrill, High Voltage, TNT and more.

I ADMIT THE MUSIC IS A BIT HARSH TO SOME PEOPLE…BUT I LOVE IT!

People looking for love online this Valentine’s Day are being warned to be vigilant after a reported 30 per cent increase in online dating and romance scams.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a warning to the nation’s romantics to be wary, with more than 550 consumer complaints about the scams in 2009.

People are warned to keep private details to themselves on dating websites and chat rooms, and to take safety precautions when meeting with someone they met online.

ACCC deputy chairman Peter Kell says scammers take every opportunity to prey on peoples’ vulnerabilities.

“Scammers target victims by creating fake profiles on internet dating sites, chat rooms or introductory services, and they go to great lengths to establish a trusting relationship with victims,” he said.

“These scammers then prey on the victim’s emotional vulnerability by representing that they wish to travel to Australia or are in urgent need of money and ask for help to pay for airfares, passport, family hospital bills and other costs.”

Mr Kell says people caught up in such scams can end up with more than a broken heart.

“We’ve seen consumers who have lost large amounts of money, a woman who exhausted her savings and even took out an extra loan to support an online friend through what he said was a series of urgent medical treatments,” he said.

There was a time when I could name all the dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park movie.

Kids used to want to be Paleontologists. Or archaeologists. Or anthropologists.

And some girls wanted to be marine biologists.

They’re all cliched ambitions, and kids used to love cliches.

When did kids trade their diplodocus for Pikachu? Archaeopteryx for Bulbasaurs?

Icythysosaurus for Psyduck?

I have a bag of fossils in my bedroom. Bought at an American museum. The best fossil is the teeth of a Megalodon – an ancient shark.

It’s smooth and hard – and still sharp.

I wonder what happened to those interests of old?
