Q. On which day of the year does a person do the most work?
A. The day before they go on holidays.
I’m not sure how true that is - especially when my day is half full of meetings, lunches and afternoon teas - but it will be my busiest day for a while.
Anyway, Lara [...]
Got the call from Rob yesterday: “dude can you play soccer with us tonight?” So I’m like “hell yeah” and we go and win 2 games, one that counted and one against a mixed team whose opponents had forfeited. Great fun.
Blacky and I have got almost NO food in our fridge right now, so I [...]
Remember when I was thinking of which cars were shit-hot some 9 months ago? Well I thought it might be fun to update this list:
If I were going to buy a Ford, it’d be the new Fairlane G220. Mmm.
If I were going to buy a Holden, it’d be a Monaro. Mmm.
If I were going to [...]
Brunching Shuttlecocks are no more. This long-visited regular site of mine has decided to hang up their funny, and I’ve decided to commemmorate the life of this fantastic site by hosting my own brunch.
When? I don’t know yet. But I’d like it ideally to be a weekend where everyone’s available. I’d also like to make [...]
Monday was cool - I’d left work early to go to the doctors to get a prescription re-done … actually, turns out it’s been along time since I’ve been to see my GP - he’d moved offices some 12 months ago, and I went to the old practice and then had no idea where they’d [...]

So I started searching for answers, and, Thursday night, my brain worked out a plausible scenario when Bek telephoned: “Hey, can you please drive me and a carload of my relatives to and [...]
I’ve recently developed a grand delusion that during our upcoming trip to the UK, I should read some seminal piece of English literature in the country it was written - and also listen to some quintessential British music.
The problem is that we’re only going to be in the UK for 13 days, so I don’t [...]
I gots nothin to say to any of youse.
Well, mostly due to excellent planning on my part, last night rocked. I knew that Rob was coming over, and I later knew that I needed to drop Bryce off some shazbot, and when these facts amalgamated into one coherent plan, it came to pass that Rob W came over, we yarned a bit and [...]
Lara has pulled off one of the scams of the year thus far, by managing to get the two of us invited to a Big Brother Cocktail Party and Live Eviction Show at Dreamworld.
So, not only do we get free entry to an Eviction Show (sure, we’re addicted to the show, but I don’t think [...]
