Aussies have bums, fair dinkum
If you wanted to upset my old man (that's Australian for father) you just had to refer to people as guys. "Australians don't have guys we have blokes or fella or sheilas," he'd growl. The older I get the more I think I'm turning into him. Takes [...]
Hung, drawn and slaughtered
I'll bet all those people who followed that idiot Mark Latham's suggestion to vote informally are feeling pretty stupid right now. Because in the closest federal election I have experienced in my life time, never has a vote been more important. I [...]
Things I won’t miss about this election campaign
Only one more sleep to go. Only one more sleep till you cast your vote and we find out who our PM is. Will it be Julia Gillard? Will it be Tony Abbott? Whomever it is I just hope you vote properly and ignore the advice of that idiot Mark Latham [...]
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 [...]
Dry August, am I too late?
Last month was Dry July. People were asked to give up drinking to raise money for charity. I actually don't know anyone who did it but there must have been quite a few because there's a website and people's names with fundraising efforts beside it. [...]
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 [...]
I’m shocked. Really, I’ve led a sheltered life.
You know those John Wayne movies when the kindly madam from the whorehouse comes good and usually takes a bullet for the good guy? Well I'd never really given much thought to old fashioned whore houses, the same way I didn't really give much [...]
Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?
Bees. Honeypot. That is me when I see articles called things like 12 Stay Young Secrets. You can read the original post here, but I've summarised it for you. How many weeks an hour do you exercise?Ideally 2.5 hours. Yay I do that which [...]
Whoopi Golberg and John Jarratt defend Mel Gibson. John who?
Another day, another Mel Gibson rant. It hasn't been his week has it? Actually it hasn't really been his century. So unless you have been trekking the Himalayas without wireless access for the last few weeks, you will be fully aware of the taped [...]
Come out, come out wherever you are
So we've got an election coming up on 21 August. Great, everyone says. Now we've got to go and bloody vote. That will me and you, but there are 1/2 million eligible people who will not be voting because they can't be bothered. Poor pets. Too busy [...]
