A list, a list… everybody loves a list. Today I had a brand new installment in my list of Top 5 stupidest things I’ve carted across town on my scooter.
Betsy, my darling, my drafthorse. Bearer of a fool and his silliest whims. Today, #2 on that list was well and truly commanded […]
Warren Buffet made his first steps towards fortune by being stingey…very stingey. He also had a predilection (which he maintains to this day) for soft drink.
These two elements also happen to make up the gist of this story.

Tonight I had an inkling to just go out and sit on the back step and do nothing. Little more than breathe and listen to the rain. Unfortunately, the corner of the eye was perpetually distracted by the boorish, white street light that would’ve been better placed a few metres to the right. […]

I have my mother and nan to thank for being able to decipher cryptic crosswords. And being that time of year - what with living in the enemy state, loving the colour blue and disliking XXXX - it’s only fitting that I rag on Queenslanders. After all, maroon is just another shade of […]
My bed is squeakier than an extroverted mouse on speed. Needless to say, I’ve been getting less sleep than a male guinea pig in a pen full of booty.
Who decided on 9 minutes for the snooze button? Why nine minutes? Why not a nice old testament styled 10? Does it have something to do with sleep cycles? Or was it just an arbitrary interval chosen with the knowledge that 94.3% of people would like their snooze button to […]
