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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Princess Perfect

It’s my big arse that makes me forget things
I'm a pear. Pear shaped. Peary. I don't like pears. I want to be an apple. Empire lined dresses were invented for apples. I love empire lined dresses. What do we pear shapes get? Bootleg jeans!--which are just plain wrong in a sea of skinny [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
