And the winner is…
Such a day of competition today. February 27 will go down in history as the day of the great showdown. Who will it be? Now the intro to this post is deliberately vague, as I wanted to allude (I'm trying to be clever) to the competition of the [...]
There’s an art to being a successful swearer
I'm a swearer. A good one. Not necessarily something I'm proud of but then again when you see how badly some people do it, well I guess it's not a skill to be sneezed at. For instance take our former PM Kevin Rudd and his latest swearing video. [...]
Stupid stuff from 2011
This is from my weely Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townville Bulletin Savvy magazine. So the most googled term in 2011—what is love? What a stupid search enquiry. Can you believe that we’ve turned into such an emotionally retarded [...]
The prince, all those millions and racehorses

The truth about pregnancy by Carla Sarkozy
God bless you Carla Sarkozy--former supermodel and present first lady of France. You are not going to be the poster child for the elderly primagravida (true medical term) mother as you near the end of your pregnancy. No you can't wait for it all to [...]
The fun police want to make alcohol lots more expensive
Can anyone explain to me where the anti-alcohol lobby are getting their information? They stated earlier this week that due to a price increase in pre-mixes that sales have dropped therefore leading to a decrease in teenage drinking. Really? Do [...]
I’m so sick of being told what to do
I was in the bottle shop the other day when I watched a girl being chastised by the bottle shop attendant for passing her father a bottle of wine to put in a box. She just passed it to him mind, she was being helpful. She wasn't drinking it, she [...]
So your boss wants to be your Facebook friend. Oh dear.
Someone I know posed an interesting dilemma to me the other day. What do you do if your boss wants to be your Facebook friend? My first response. God that's a hard one. My second response. Your boss is an arsehole. Do you think that Mark [...]
