Only 24 more sleeps to the Commonwealth Games
So I'll bet you didn't know there were only 24 more days till the Commonwealth Games began? It's sort of been off the radar with the fact that half the stadiums aren't finished and people are being paid $4 an hour for their labour. And there's that [...]
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 [...]
Thongs injure thousands
Hah! That heading got all you non-Australians in didn't it. You have visions of people with calloused arses from their thongs, but that's not what I mean at all. Australians call flip flops thongs. Australians calls thongs g-strings or g-bangers. [...]
Could you get your leg off my seat?
Do you think overweight people should have to pay for a second seat on airlines? Well 70% of Australian travellers surveyed by travel.com.au said they should. What a can of worms that will open. I mean how do you police it? Budget European flyer [...]
Boys, does carrying your ipad about make you want to buy a manbag?
Image I'm very taken with the new ipads. They are very, very sexy. And the stuff they can do. Well I want one. But I won't get one, but it doesn't stop me from lusting after one. It's the internet costs that would kill me. I'm all for the [...]
Was that a bloodless coup? And I missed it all. How disappointing.
I'm a bit cross that I was OS last month when Julia Gillard staged a leadership coup on Kevin 07 becoming Australia's first female Prime Minister. Usually I eat that sort of stuff up. Love it. Love politics, hate Kevin Rudd--oh how I would have [...]
Who wear the pants?
Question: In what foreign capital is it illegal for women to wear pants? A) Washington B) Paris C) Suva D) Port Morseby Well, go on admit it, who was tossing up between Suva and Port Morseby. You'd be wrong on both accounts because it's [...]
Romeo, Juliet, chick flicks and other cliches
Love a good chick flick don't you? I can watch Sweet Home Alabama three times a week. Someone Like You--what's not to like? Ashley Judd AND Hugh Jackman, love story, Hugh's really, really bad shouty American accent--beautiful. So I went to see [...]
Lost means never having to say you’re sorry
You know that old chestnut about how women can't read maps? Well it's not true. I can read maps as well as any man. Sure I might have to turn it round to the same direction that we're heading in, but I can still get from point A to B using a map. My [...]
Eat Pray Love trailer
Here it is, better late than never, the trailer for Eat Pray Love based on Elizabeth Gilbert's book. Looks good, love Julia Roberts. You'll have to wait till October 14 to see it though. I, like many other Gen Xers, will admit that the book has [...]
