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?

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

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 [...]

Three men and a government

Princess Perfect

Princess Perfect

If Princess Diana was alive today she could have taken lessons from the book "How to be a Perfect Princess" written by Princess Mary of Denmark. Maybe things would have worked out differently for Di. So how perfect is Princess Mary? She's so [...]

Have you seen those family stickers that people are now decorating their cars with? They've replaced the frangipani but not the private school sticker that says I'm a (insert overpriced private school of choice here)  rowing/tennis/tuckshop [...]

Come back Masterchef. I need my fix.

Come back Masterchef.  I need my fix.

Gosh, it's only been one night and already I'm missing Masterchef. Such a lovely show, and a powerful one--caused a time shift for the great political debate--now that's people power.  I actually tried to watch the great political debate. Julia [...]
