As far as I can remember back I don’t really recall China ever having any input into Australian affairs. I mean sure they might put out a few press released nobody ever read and demonise us in their papers but for the most part it was internal. If you listen to the Liberals,  it would [...]

I’ve never been to prison so I don’t pretend to know what it’s like in one. I’ve seen the same television shows you have presenting jails as hard cold places where shankings happen every other day and the showers are just the love between a man and another man. Whether these depictions are even remotely [...]

After near universal condemnation and the families that advised Cadbury they wanted smaller blocks that were ‘softer to bite’ nowhere to be seen, Cadbury announced yesterday that they will be dropping the palm oil component of their chocolate blocks. I only mustered up the courage to try the new blocks just weeks ago but like [...]

If you googled your name and using a standard Google search on the first page was a result from an anonymous blogger claiming you were a skank, would you care? If you did care would you bother to start legal proceedings in an attempt to identify the anonymous blogger? Recently Liskula Cohen who from what [...]

You’re at a bar, it’s getting late and you still haven’t scored. Out of the corner of your eye you see a decent enough looking girl at the bar and… …well ok she’s hideous and flat chested but what the hell, you’re riding blue balls the size of Jupiter in your jocks and need to [...]

So I’m sitting there this morning eating my sultana flakes seeing what’s happened overnight in the world. Thirty seconds later I’m staring at Kyle Sandilands trying to be seductive. I spent the next five minutes cleaning a cocktail of saliva, milk and mushed up sultana flakes off my monitor. Jesus christ I thought my eyes [...]

A few weeks ago I decided to disconnect my canister filter and attempt to run my goldfish tank relying solely on plants to filter the tank. In coming to this decision I decided to add some extra plants to cover myself in case there wasn’t enough in there to pick up the bioload the filter [...]

About a month and a half ago now the world of chocolate cafes opened up to me. Not ever having heard of the idea previously I’ve since grown quite fond of the idea and intend to traverse my way through what Melbourne has to offer. Having visited the Lindt chocolate cafe just last month, on [...]

I haven’t personally ever been told to ‘get on the footpath’ whilst cycling but along with ‘stop being a tightarse’ and ‘lol get a car’ these are your stereotypical arsenal of catch cries that motorists use. Obviously here in Australia riding on the footpath is illegal unless your a child. I’m not sure exactly what [...]
