WARNING: The following is a rant. You may wish to stop at the pretty picture. So you’re thinking (or maybe you’re not), how can the person who saw the beauty in a morning sunlight on the river hate the world. I’m blaming Apple. Seriously. How annoying is it to have to log in to your [...]

I’m not going to hold myself up as a grammar guru or a spelling bee queen – no. It would be too easy to find an example of where I’ve made a mistake. For instance the other day I was updating my facebook on my new phone and the autotext chose the wrong stationary/ery and I didn’t pick [...]
I’m sorry but isn’t this the boom state? Could we not do something a little more classier? I know that everyone has those old tinsel trees ready to throw on the verge and therefore the City of Perth is doing us a favour by recycling them but please people! Surely we can do better that [...]
I love the Council House lightshow and when showing visitors around I will always point it out – if I’m near the city. The other day for instance I drove my eastern states colleague back to his hotel and driving past Kings Park I thought a little detour was in order. He made the [...]
Honestly! Is it that hard to apply spellcheck to signs BEFORE printing them? Bad enough reading a real estate ad on the back of a local paper and noticing the word SEPERATELY spelled incorrectly – yes it should be sepArately – but perhaps the offence was less because the font was really small. It seems [...]
About a month ago Property at work changed the swipe point to gain access to the building. It used to be right next to the door, now you have to stop about 3 metres before the door and swipe your ID card. But old habits are hard to break. Every day this week I have [...]
I first saw this sign at North Cottesloe. I thought then it was a stupid sign. What are they trying to warn against? Diving? Shallow water? Why not just say that?? To just say “water” seems a bit obvious. Hello… it is the Indian Ocean… Having two stupid signs… does that make the Town of [...]
Is it just me or am I the only one who is noticing how often the word ‘literally’ is used? “I was literally going to the shops…” “That is literally the best movie I’ve ever seen!” It is the new ‘like’. I, like, hate it. But you know what? I hate it even more when [...]
This guy rang up last week and said that he was sick and tired of people referring to England as “the old country” or “the mother country”. It’s insulting, he said. I’m 5th generation. Australia has been it’s own entity for over 100 years. Isn’t it time, he wondered, that we stopped referring to [...]
This is her problem not mine and yet… and yet… Let me tell you the story. I flew into Perth today from Geraldton where I’ve been the last couple of days – stories coming soon – I met so many interesting people – but anyway… The queue for a taxi was exhaustingly long but I [...]
