Supermarket staff training manual

Okay, this blog entry will probably do nothing to counter claims that I am an old man, but dammit, some things have just got to be said. My post contains the following elements:

Claims about how things were better in my day.
Allegories of national service.
Criticisms of the youth of today.

The topic de jour (that’s french for [...]

Dwarves in armour: TV programming genius

I don’t care what anyone says, putting a dwarf in armour is comic gold. All power to Amazing Race, this just cracked me up.

Work is no fun when you have to work

You may have noticed that the frenetic early pace has eased a bit in the last week or so. Unsurprisingly, this has coincided with me having a new role at work. A role that involves working. This is actually a great development, and I think I’m going to be kept very happy working on stuff [...]

Shock: baldness cure doesn’t work

Advanced Hair Studios have been dragged over the coals for claiming that their treatment to halt and reverse balding works. The public have been shocked to discover that it actually doesn’t work. Turns out they were just using hair gel! Like so many girls you have texted, I feel violated Shane - I thought you [...]

I’m taking the high ground - with the Liberal party

As I write this, I am sitting on an Ikea [...]

Environmentally friendly sandwiches

I went to a place called Macro for lunch the other day. You can read for yourself their approach to food, but you know the deal - organic, free range, dairy-free, nut-free, pleasure-free food. Now I’m as concerned as the next person at how perfect the vegies in my fridge look after two months, but [...]

A visit to the Masons

This story was written a while back, but it is all true. It got published, but in a publication that no-one - not even my mum - reads. Against the odds, people apparently come to my blog though, so I might as well get some extra eyes on it. And you know you want to [...]

Some blogs I like

I have discovered that linking to other blogs is dirty, grimy business in the blogging world. When I put a link to someone else’s blog on my blog, the subtext is “You should do the same for me and help make my blog more popular.”
