Unwanted Sam Moran was hung out to dry by The Wiggles as Greg Page returns for yellow skivvy

CALLED into the office on his holidays, yellow Wiggle Sam Moran was relaxed and disarmed - unprepared.

Sporting the kind of facial hair which usually scares the kiddies, Moran had no time or inclination to shave, dutifully answering the call to meet Wiggles' managing director Mike Conway mid-morning on Tuesday, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Half an hour later he was allegedly terminated from his job as lead singer and offered a payout of about $60,000: a little more than four months of his reported $200,000-a-year wage.

As blue Wiggle Anthony Field dismissed him yesterday, Moran the "hired hand" was hired no more.

Despite the carefully worded pronouncements surrounding the return of original member Greg Page, Moran neither "graciously offered to step aside" nor saw his end coming.

For Field and his brother Paul, part of The Wiggles core management team, this was meant to be a swift business transaction - "a creative decision not a financial one" - returning things to how they used to be.

The "natural chemistry" with Moran wasn't right, we were told, with purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt revealing he had simply "really missed Greg's voice".

It wasn't about the money, or the power imbalance between the three originals who all bought into Wiggles Inc, keeping the lion's share of the $28.2 million Replica U-Boat Watches pocketed in 2011.

Despite being a loyal servant for almost 10 years - five as the international face of the children's super group - Moran was forced to accept less than 1 per cent of the band's reported annual earnings. It is understood his representations for greater compensation began early last year. He was consistently turned down.

Fatt, 58, who battled his own health issues last year, reportedly also agitated to retire but was rebuffed.

When Moran refused to read from the prepared script this week, this was one Big Red Car ride destined to end in a ditch. The crafted image from Wiggles HQ began to fray almost immediately after The Daily Telegraph exclusively revealed the cash disparity and shabby price put on Moran's yellow skivvy.

Answering to our claims repeated on Nine's Today show, Field was visibly uncomfortable even acknowledging his one-time workmate: "I don't want to speak for the guy ... I don't know how he feels."

What has infuriated fans on the group's Facebook site was his dismissive response to Moran's contribution.

"What Sam does now is Sam's thing. His contract has come to an end. Sam was doing a job. ... I haven't spoken to him," Field said.

Fan Rosa Giampa Nicoll won support for her comment on the site: "just saw the interview online and I have one thing to say to about Anthony's attitude ... once a cockroach, always a cockroach!"

Field's brother Paul rushed to his defence last night, admitting: "Anthony on the Today show, absolutely ... it wasn't a good moment."

While "consulted" on staff issues, Field said: "Anthony and the guys were not involved in negotiating anyone's package. At any time, had (Sam) been unhappy with his package he could have gone and he hasn't ... ergo he's happy with what he's got."

Fatt defended the decision by saying the group had got "a lot of flak for continuing without Greg, now we are getting flak for continuing with Greg".

For his part, Moran kept silent on the details of his split but returned to the studio to reassure young fans: "I just wanted to send a message to all the children around the world who have sent me such wonderful messages on Facebook and Twitter and Red Line Fake Watch some sad messages too saying how upset they are that I won't be the yellow Wiggle any more. Fear not, The Wiggles will continue and you will still see all your other friends."

He introduced Page as "another driver of the Big Red Car."

"It will be Greg, he'll be the yellow Wiggle. He was the yellow Wiggle before I was the yellow Wiggle and he will be again. I will miss seeing your smiling faces from the stage. Keep on Wigglin."

It is unlikely Moran's wife Lyn, who met her husband when she was playing Dorothy the Dinosaur, will return to perform. She is caring for the couple's daughter, Eloise, who turned two the day her dad was dumped.

In 1998 he was charged with punching a woman.

Are All Luxury Brisbane Hotels the Same

If you're planning on visiting Brisbane, and you happen to be a fan of a bit of luxury, then you'll be looking for some luxury Brisbane accommodation. Now, as we all know, not all five star hotels are made the same. So, when choosing a luxury Brisbane hotel, how do you know which one to pick? Here are some pointers on how to choose the right hotel for you.

In Australia the Star Rating standards are set and governed by Triple A Tourism, and every hotel in the scheme is rated based on three major areas; facilities and services, cleanliness and quality and condition. A general overview of the star system is as follows.

One star indicates simple and clean, no-frills style accommodation, often with a share bathroom and limited facilities.

Two stars represent basic, clean accommodation with a reasonably well maintained selection of services.

Three stars are awarded to well appointed and comfortable accommodation with good quality furnishings and a good range of facilities.

Four Michele Fake stars indicate very well appointed accommodation including stylish decor and a high standard of facilities, guest services and furnishings.

Five stars, the highest rating within Australia, is indicative of an outstanding property boasting luxury appointments and offering an exceptional standard of guest services, furnishings and facilities.

A half star can also be awarded to hotels offering a more extensive range of facilities.

Although the rating system is quite comprehensive, there are some features that are not taken into account when hotels are rated. So how do you know which luxury Brisbane hotel to choose? Firstly, the star rating is the best place to start. If you like a high level of luxury then it's five star all the way. After narrowing your list to only the five star hotels in Brisbane, the next thing to look at is location. Is the hotel close to public transport? Does it offer views of the Brisbane River or the Storey Bridge? Is it close to restaurants, bars, shopping or theatres?

Another thing to consider is extra charges. Nearly all five star hotels in Brisbane will offer services such as Wi-Fi, business services, daily newspapers etc. Check to see if there are extra charges associated with these services, as some hotels may offer them for free. Parking is another consideration, do they offer valet parking? What are the daily parking rates?

Not all five star hotels have the same in room facilities for example a luxury hotel room should nearly always have a bath, although not all five star hotels have spa baths. Also, room size may vary dramatically; most hotel websites will provide a room layout with room measurements for your information. Look for a room with a separate sitting area, although watching a movie from your bed can be considered a luxury it is nice to have the option.

The ultimate in luxury is a hotel with a day spa, and second to that is a hotel that provides in-room massage and beauty services. There are only a few Brisbane hotels boasting day spas so Replica Silver if this Grovana Watches is high on your list, it will narrow your choices dramatically. And last but not least, the all important bathrobe and slippers; if you are truly wanting luxury in your Brisbane accommodation, the hotel must supply a crisp white bathrobe and disposable slippers. We all have our requirements and compromises but this one is a must for me.

Chicago street protests target financial industry

CHICAGO — Mounting anger over joblessness and income inequality snarled rush-hour traffic in downtown Chicago as thousands of teachers, religious leaders, union workers and other protesters marched on Monday.

Chanting "We are the 99 percent" and "Tax, tax, tax the rich," demonstrators marched on Michigan Avenue and gathered outside the Chicago Art Institute where a U.S. futures industry trade group was holding an evening cocktail reception.

Others marched outside a luxury hotel nearby where the American Mortgage Bankers Association was holding a meeting downtown, attracting a separate band of protesters.

Five separate "feeder marches" ― which converged into one giant march up Michigan Ave ― were inspired by, but not formally affiliated with, the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in New York last month.

"We really want to highlight the role the financial industry has played," said Adam Kader of Arise Chicago, an interfaith workers' rights group and part of the coalition.
