It’s just not cricket
I love watching sport. Love horse racing, footy (the code that Queenslanders are good at) and cricket. Though I must admit that cricket almost didn't make my list. I'm sort of falling out of love with cricket. They play too often, the Australian [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Aint love grand
This is a little gem that's floating out there in cyberspace--well Craigslist to be specific. Can I tell all you single girls, it's times like this when I'm glad to be a happily married woman (or female as the following poet likes to say). Anyway [...]
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 [...]
Mark Latham–tool, fool and very uncool
I think David Gyngell might be a bit of a dud as a Channel Nine's CEO. I mean he's made some pretty dumb decisions. He canned Hey, Hey It's Saturday when it was probably the only thing to watch on Saturday night and then brought it back a few years [...]
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
American movies and TV are responsible for how we should view life's changes. Have a baby? Yes, the appropriate thing to do is spend all night nursing, pacing and placating the screaming child instead of putting it in it's cot and practising [...]
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 [...]
