Will this ruin Downton Abbey for you?
Can't wait till Downton Abbey comes back on. Well really I can because--I've seen the second series. An English friend sent the series over at Christmas time. It's so good. I won't spoil it for you. Will seeing the Downton Abbey people as [...]
There’s an art to being a successful swearer
I'm a swearer. A good one. Not necessarily something I'm proud of but then again when you see how badly some people do it, well I guess it's not a skill to be sneezed at. For instance take our former PM Kevin Rudd and his latest swearing video. [...]
Nerdy stuff for nerds
I love to watch the SBS show Letters and Numbers. For the uninitiated it's a word creating and maths equation solving program. Rivetting? Not much, but if you tape it and cheat with the time it will stave off Alzheimers. Well that's how I'm [...]

Oh school days
This image (click on it to increase size) came to me in one of those then and now emails that are doing the rounds. Interesting isn't it. And uncomfortable close to the truth. When did we take away our children's responsibilities and blame [...]
What to wear to Ascot races
Dressing for the races is big business. And more and more of us are doing it, but apparently less and less of us are getting it right. And those bastions of all things that are right and proper--the big cheeses who make the rules at Royal [...]
Mum guilt–did you send your kid to school with this lunchbox?
The kids are back at school today (well they are if they live in Queensland). So mums all over the place have put together healthy and nutritious lunchboxes for their kids to impress the the teachers and get a great shot at oneupmanship over the [...]
