It’s a sad reflection of the times we live in that in Melbourne there are now clearly ‘no-go’ zones that have been established. After the sun goes down there’s more then a few areas out in the western suburb wastelands of Melbourne that you couldn’t pay me to walk through. The apex of which is [...]

Recently a bit of discussion flared up on the effectiveness of Australian police over at the article ‘Sudanese crime plummets to new lows at Sunshine station‘. Reader bushrat concluded Yep, up here thy are great out of the gate, but about six months on, after a few times in court, all the eagerness is gone, [...]

It was late last night when I spotted a story on Victoria Police confirming that they’d fronted $8000 in taxpayers money in school fees for Carl William’s daughter. Not really fussed about it, it was still a little intriguing to read that nobody was prepared to give up any information as to why. Williams was [...]

One of the most intrinsic characteristics of young males is the pursuit of vagina. Despite thousands of years of social reconditioning, religious interference and feminism you only have to look at the media (and not just the news), to see that flogging sex appeal still works.

Riding on the coattails of the Emmy’s yesterday morning, last night Melbourne’s Crown Casino played host to the annual AFL Brownlow medal award night. I don’t know why but everytime there’s an award night the media try to make out like Australian ‘celebrities’ have some sort of glamorous fashion sense. As the Logies and all [...]

I’ve been to Costco a few times now and for the most part parking hasn’t bothered me. On opening day they were swamped and parking was free, which was great.
