Today West Australians go to the polls to vote for or against daylight saving. It’s a beautiful morning. The sky is blue, there’s no wind. It’s tee-shirt weather. You don’t get mornings like this in summer. Or at least you do… but only if you get up REALLY early. Of course if you have Daylight [...]

There seems to be an increasing trend for Australian motorists to attach Aussie flags to their cars on the Australia Day Long Weekend. The fashion seems to be either two flags poking proudly up from the front or back windows or perhaps one wagging like a friendly dog’s tail off the back aerial. Occassionally you’ll [...]
Seems to me you can divide the world into those who like tinsel and those who don’t. At work our office is tinselled to the max. It is everywhere. along the partitions between desks, around whiteboards and pin-up boards, hanging from the ceiling and framing doorways. So my home has become a tinsel-free zone. [...]
I’m not a great fan of Oprah but my mum is, and not long ago she insisted we sit down and watch an episode in which Oprah advocated vision boards. On these boards you put pictures of things you want to happen in your life. It’s like an extension of The Secret. Today I decided [...]
Today it’s a bit of a bits and bobs post… I learned that 62% of billionaires marry brunettes. Where’s mine? Or are you not telling me something Groover? I had some fun live blogging while on radio… someone was sick and I got to play! I’m loving Angela’s Ashes. I thought it would be depressing [...]
It is with some trepidation that I wish you all a Happy Easter. The last time I politely wished a lovely old lady Happy Easter, she snappishly returned: “Don’t say that to me! Don’t you know what happened on Good Friday? There’s nothing happy in that!” I was too taken aback to say another word [...]
This video is the second most watched comedy clip from Rowan Atkinson on Youtube. And I’m wondering – if you’re Christian – is it offensive? My opinion – and I wouldn’t call myself religious – that it isn’t. But then again, would I say the same about a similar sketch based on the Koran? I’m [...]
I’ve been running this little poll on the left hand side there about the type of Christmas Tree we choose for our homes and I’m surprised by the early results. So far everyone has said they have a fake tree that looks real and I confess so do we. I never used to. I always [...]
We don’t normally do the Halloween thing apart from making sure there are some lollies in the house just in case kids come a knocking. Our kids don’t really do it mainly because of the apathy of their parents who frankly could care less… The only ‘encounter’ we’ve really had is when Groover hit the [...]
The only thing I’ll say about Wimbledon is that it makes me happy that they enforce the “tennis players should wear white” rule. It just looks right. The only other thing I’ll say about Wimbledon is that my favourite sporting moment occurred there. Pat Rafter’s losing speech. What an example he was. And now I [...]
