My first visit to Costco was last Monday on opening day. There was people everywhere, parking was a nightmare and although mostly positive the experience was a little bit overwhelming trying to take everything in. Armed with a shopping list, an idea of where things are and my meanest ‘GET THE HELL OUT OF MY [...]

I set out this morning excited as I’d ever been about a store opening. Costco Docklands being the first store to open in Australia I had no idea what to expect or just how busy it was going to be. My first warning sign was when I turned into the Docklands Highway and was met [...]

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 [...]

Twice a year when the Albert Park Grand Prix and the St. Kilda festival rolls around my area gets totally trashed by people who don’t live here. Acland Street turns into an after dark nightmare and you inevitably wind up being the victim of a random bashing, your girlfriend gets harassed or some idiot is [...]

Ever since the Melbourne International Film Festival told China to shove it when they objected to them screening ‘The Ten Conditions of Love’ we’ve seen comical demand after demand from the Chinese government. I rode into the city today prior the the screening not quite sure what to expect. We’d all seen the crazy numbers [...]

As a male it’s bad enough we’ve got lesbians who think we’re all a bunch of predators, parents who think we’re all kiddy fiddlers and a family court system that is stacked to buggery against us. On top of all that though, what’s even more disheartening is that it’s still possible for someone to accuse [...]

I don’t have a problem with lesbians. I don’t mean that in a pseudo sleazy ‘eyyy wanna come back to my place with your friend?’ kind of way but rather that if two women love each other then best of luck to them. In an age of single sex gyms, toilets, schools and the precedent [...]

Aldi started it off and it looks like Costco is going to finally rock the Australian market. Coles and Woolworths have been screwing us over for so long most Australian’s can’t even remember what true supermarket competition feels like. Costco opening up in Australia has been something I’ve been excited about for a long time [...]

I’d previously never heard of a chocolate cafe. Usually I eat my chocolate involuntarily in bulk at home so the idea of actually going out and sitting down in a cafe seemed a little strange. I first read about the Melbourne Lindt Cafe on Melbourne Metblog, back in June Neil wrote; According to a job [...]

Brrr it’s freaking freezing and I just home from dragging myself (ok so it wasn’t so bad once I got going) into Melbourne’s icy weather to see Michael Jackson’s memorial service broadcast live from Federation Square. I’d checked the weather forcast and noted it was going to dip to 4 degrees overnight. Realising I’d be [...]
