So the rich lie, cheat and are greedy. Big surprise
My daily commute home involves me merging into fairly heavy traffic. Four times out of five I can pretty well guarantee that someone will let me in. I firmly believe that is because I am a courteous driver who let's people change lanes, enter from [...]
And the winner is…
Such a day of competition today. February 27 will go down in history as the day of the great showdown. Who will it be? Now the intro to this post is deliberately vague, as I wanted to allude (I'm trying to be clever) to the competition of the [...]
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. [...]
Elephants: the new cane toads

A few years ago I had to get a strappers licence. For those of you who do n't know what a strapper is, I'll explain. Strappers are the people who do the grunt work of looking after racehorses. They're the people you see leading the horse around at [...]
Give us a kiss
This is from my weekly Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. Like a pre-teen girl to Justin Bieber, so is Julia Gillard to Barack Obama. That’s the only comparison I can make after last week’s [...]
Death row prisoner wrecks the whole last meal tradition
A prisoner on death row getting his requested last meal is just one of those things. Not anymore apparently as Texan Laurence Brewer's request was just too much for a US Senator prompting a cranky letter and having a kibosh put on the whole last [...]
Feng shui your meth lab
According to Kathleen Noonan's column in this week's Courier Mail the suburbs are a virtual plethora of meth labs. Apparently it's much easier to disguise a meth lab in a suburban house. They make for good quiet neighbours other than that whole [...]
