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 [...]
Pimp my ciggie packet
See the government is going to remove all of the labelling from cigarette packets to stop people smoking. Personally I can't see it making much of a difference. I mean when you buy a packet of fags now, they're hidden away with only the labels [...]
When is a cancer not really a cancer?
I read The Cookie Club the other day. Apparently it's already been optioned as a movie so don't bother reading it, just wait till it's on the big screen. But there was an interesting statement in the book that got me thinking. The main character [...]
Public papping
No people, this is not a story about the paparazzi, rather is a tale about pap smears. Yes that's right, the pap smear has gone public. What is usually a little covert procedure in the privacy of your doctor's surgery has gone all public via the [...]
Hands off
What is it with Kevin Rudd and all this arm around the shoulder business? It's wrong, it's inappropriate and frankly it's sexist. This picture is not Kevin Rudd with the little Mrs, no this is the Prime Minister of Australia and one of his most [...]

Feeling like a bit of self-inflicted torture? I've got a few tests here to help you decide whether your body is in decline. You only need a few household items and some office supplies. Are your boobs sagging? You need a pencil, that's all. Take [...]
Let’s do lunch
Being the mother of an 18 year old is a great thing. Why you ask? It's because I never-ever-ever have to make a school lunch again. Don't care what she eats for lunch. She can legally drink, she can vote, she can drive a car, she can take care of [...]
An onion a day keeps the doctor away
I'm a big old sucker for these emails that do the rounds. Not sure if it's true, but if garlic can ward off vampires, then it's entirely possible that onions can repel viruses. In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there a doctor who [...]
You can’t study for these exams
Something I am starting to really appreciate about myself is my good health. Sure I whine and bitch about my fat thighs, but at the end of the day they are part of a pair of strong legs that let me do pretty well anything I want (except for winning [...]
