Got home on Sunday afternoon to find I’d left the back door unlocked for the two days I was away. Well done Daniel. Ah well, no harm done as it happens. I’ll be checking it doubly-carefully next time I go out… Whoops. Went to the park today, and got shat on by a very small ... [More]
Dreamt last night that I was walking in the city and came across three blokes in business suits. One was unconscious on the ground, one sitting, bleeding slightly and the third standing but obviously in a daze. They’d obviously been in some kind of accident. I whipped out my shiny new mobile phone and dialled ... [More]
I just got my (replacement) new phone: the Nokia 6100. I think I got a reasonable deal on it, though I was a little miffed that the rather spiffy-looking 7250i went on special just after I ordered it. For a little more I could have had a radio and camera in the phone. Not exactly ... [More]
Dear spammers, I am not throwing away money, and I don’t have a home loan that needs re-financing. I don’t understand teenagers, let alone Swedish ones, and have no wish to watch them. I don’t want to buy any remote control mini-cars. My penis is of adequate size, thanks. I’m busy enough as it is, ... [More]
In the late 80s and early 90s, I watched a lot of TV. I also recorded a lot of TV. It’s left me with a rather large collection of VHS tapes, probably in the region of 250. As the 90s changed from “early” to “mid” it finally dawned on me (Eureka!) that I wasn’t getting ... [More]
You what? 2nd of March and I can see my own breath in the air when I go to get the newspaper?! Last night I did the unthinkable. I succumbed to a telemarketer. I know I shouldn’t. But somehow I did. I didn’t actually buy anything, but when a woman rang up and was selling ... [More]
I’ve never been on a Critical Mass ride. Frankly my bike comes out rather too occasionally, and I think I’d be struggling to maintain the pace. But I was amused on Friday to hear that they were planning another ride on the tollway — this time over the Bolte Bridge. Some talkback radio hosts began ... [More]
Hello. Happy leap day. Sunday is Big Grocery Shop day for me. I’ll usually wander down to the local fruit market-ette (it claims to be a fruit market, but really it’s just a quadruple-sized greengrocer) with the kids (detour to park on the way) and a cloth bag and pick up the fruit and veg ...

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I got into work, and instead of wearing my usual shirt/tie/trousers/shoes, I found myself wearing shirt/tie/jeans/runners, which looked very odd, to say the least. A somewhat incongruous mix of clothing styles. Mind you, one office I used to work in had a bloke who regularly ... [More]
Never try and rush through a sliding door. I have a headache today. Actually I’ve had a headache the last few days, on and off. It would appear during the morning, reach a peak about 10am, then fade into the background for the rest of the day. One of those headaches that you can feel ... [More]
One of the things that saves the arts from censorship is a good reliable ratings system. But it is critical that those responsible for deciding the ratings get it right.
The plethora of milk formerly in the fridge at work (which at one point topped 25 one-litre non-long-life cartons of various varieties) has been pared right back, and now totals a mere 2.5 litres of Rev. Luckily for me, Rev is my preferred variety of milk. Not that it matters much since I’m only using ... [More]
