You wouldn’t think that a suburban shopping centre could ever be a source of inspiration, but last week I was proved wrong. It was my lunch hour, I didn’t want to feel any pain and I couldn’t afford drugs, so I went to a shopping mall to zone out with other people who aspire to [...]

Okay, a bit of caveat before we get started:
a) I generally don’t like posting three items in one hit, but I’ve got to get this stuff out while it is still (sort of) in the news.
b) This post is gruesome. But, if you’re one of those people who cranes their neck around busting to get [...]

1) I have decophobia, which is a fear of misplacing decimals when putting in amounts for internet banking and especially Automatic Teller Machines. I can never remember whether $50 is 5-0 or 5-0-0-0. Where will that damn decimal pop up? It is always a small relief when the right amount appears.
2) Sometime I like to [...]

A quick postscript to last week’s story on Melbourne’s underworld girls. Monkeybizness is ahead of the curve on this story from Melbourne’s Age newspaper. Also has a picture of the previously elusive Renate (not Renae as reported in my previous post on this topic).

Just a quick one today slackers. I’m off camping at Wilson’s Promontory until Monday 30 May. That gives me a few days to pull together some more writing, and you a chance to find out what a promontory is.
Here are some words that you should try and use on ANZAC Day: sport, cobber, digger, [...]

Is it wrong for me to say that? For international visitors, Melbourne is the home of a long-running criminal underworld gang war. It is pretty quiet at the moment, but it seems the wrong people are ending up in court. The boys get shot, go missing, or get shot and go missing. It’s the girls [...]

The other day I was in a pet shop, buying a toy mouse for the Excellent Missus’ cat. As I made the purchase, I noticed a glass tank full of leaves and branches - and, on closer inspection, stick insects. I turned to the girl behind the counter and asked, “Can you train stick insects?” [...]

Yeah! We have broadband at home. At least, the Excellent Missus does. My computer is still grumpy. But you’re not off the hook Optus. I thought I’d celebrate my new-found connectivity by posting about you…
I was hoping to kick-off this blog gently, with quirky stories about dwarves and puppies, but of course someone made me [...]

Dear Mr Howard,
This is just a quick note to congratulate you for looking to toughen the entry requirements for HIV positive migrants and refugees.
Letting such people into the country is an ongoing drain on the nation’s health system. Thorough vetting would allow us to keep these peope – who are usually dole bludgers and quite [...]

This is a good news story, seen in the window of a second-hand music store. Although I like to think Moses didn’t want to be found, and crossed it out himself. Sort of like that movie Sleeping with the Enemy, except with Moses the cat as Julia Roberts.
