Ned Kelly, Ben Cousins, drugs and life
So what did you think of the Ben Cousins' Such is Life doco? Just for a bit of background the title came from the large tattoo that Cousins has tattooed across his stomach and ironically were the last words spoken by bushranger Ned Kelly. Now [...]
Not so much fun when the shoe’s on the other foot, is it Brendan?
I think this season of Dancing with the Starswill be remembered for the one fingered salute that Tamara Jaber and Alex Fevola each gave to their erring husbands. Point one to Tamara. Firstly she married that awful Kyle Sandilands and then she was [...]
Memories, photos, chants and underpants
I'm right into photo books at the moment. I've got a gazillion digital photos that are sitting on my computer doing nothing. And that's where they'll stay till the hard drive on my computer fails and then I'll sit around and cry because they've all [...]

Princess Perfect
If Princess Diana was alive today she could have taken lessons from the book "How to be a Perfect Princess" written by Princess Mary of Denmark. Maybe things would have worked out differently for Di. So how perfect is Princess Mary? She's so [...]
A ninja took my bride
OK, when I first saw this video it took me a while to realise it wasn't for real. Or was it? I'm a bit confused. Is the bride's hair real or not? But anyway I digress. I remember when my husband and I did our bridal waltz at our wedding to who [...]
