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 [...]

Three men and a government

Three men and a government

The more I think about it the more I think Australia is going to end up with the government it deserves. No matter which party the independents support we are still going to have a minority government that is a by election away from collapse. And to [...]

Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

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 [...]

These are a few of my tackiest things

These are a few of my tackiest things

I have a tacky list. Things I would never do because they're well...tacky. Things like double denim. Fashion experts can tell me all they like that double denim is back but it won't change my mind. If it's tacky when Justin Timberlake does it, it's [...]

Bikini body–arrrggghhh!

Bikini body. Are there two words more likely to strike fear into the heart of any woman? Maybe brazilian wax, but that fear only lasts a short while. Bikini body will haunt you all summer long. The Guardian newspaper ran a terribly serious [...]
