These Bitches Aint Shit

These Bitches Aint Shit

Firstly forgive the title. I hate women being referred to as bitches, but really when you hear this you'll see where I'm coming from. It's a youtube clip of a gorgeous girl's choir singing Dr Dre and Snoop's Bitches Aint Shit. Butter wouldn't melt [...]

Gay your life must be

Gay your life must be

Oh dear, oh dear. A poor old school teacher is in trouble again, this time for being too politically correct. No this dastardly man did not ban Santa Claus, he changed the words of a song. But not any old song--it's a song that is an Australian [...]

This is why teachers made you read aloud

This is why teachers made you read aloud

Remember reading groups at primary school? You sat in a group of same talented readers and read aloud to the group with the teacher listening. Really good readers hogged their go, reading beyond their allocated paragraph or page, especially if [...]

Memories, photos, chants and underpants

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 [...]

Pillow fights on a plane

Who would have thought those staid old Germans could stage a full on pillow fight on a plane? This footage from a Lufthansa flight give a whole new meaning to fun in economy--words you never thought you'd see in the same sentence. Bet those [...]

These are a few of my tackiest things

These are a few of my tackiest things

I have a tacky list. Things I would never do because they're well...tacky. Things like double denim. Fashion experts can tell me all they like that double denim is back but it won't change my mind. If it's tacky when Justin Timberlake does it, it's [...]

A ninja took my bride

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 [...]

I feel rich when….

I feel rich when….

On Saturday mornings, before I head off to my yoga class, I like to nourish my mind that is usually consumed with TV shows, celebrity gossip and trashy chic lit novels, with Kathleen Noonan's Last Word column in the Courier Mail. Her most recent [...]

Does you man smell like this? Or even look like this?

I've got a bit of confession.  I tape Masterchef so I can fast forward through the ads, except for the cheese ads.  I love the cheese ads. That man making comments delivered such as "I weep" and "I love listening to stories about your [...]

Happy birthday baby

Happy birthday baby

Today is my daughter's 19th birthday and she's half a world away.  I'm a little bit sad for me, but not for her.  She's having her birthday in Rome.  Now that's a birthday she won't forget. So here her dad and I are, missing her a lot and it [...]
