Australian who talks, writes & thinks (and sometimes gets paid for the privilege). Delighted by shiny things, travel, family and cryptic crosswords.
That is weirdly stunning - particularly the double helix snakes!

It’s a pain in Australia as if you want to fly anywhere else - Canada, South America, even some Europe spots, the cheap routes or points seats all now include an American leg, as they try to backfill planes.

There’s been a shift in Australia - it started with its own tune which wasn’t either, but has changed into some sort of faster-paced hybrid nightmare

Well that’s done it. I’m going to pose as Harrison Stickle to get a better table in restaurants and rename my house Dollywaggon.

It’s hard to believe you used to be considered a serious newspaper.

I find it hard to believe that I was actually a subscriber for years.

I like how ‘photog’ breaks the rules of shortening the job name and adding y, so we sometimes have to call them ‘snappers’ instead. But we even have bussies (bus drivers), glassies (the guy who collects your beer glass), chippies (carpenters)

Something that two years ago would have been a resigning issue for a frontbencher to say isn’t even the headline any more because - well, because those views are everywhere now apparently? I suppose. But they’re everywhere *within a very specific circle*

I’m now invested in what happens next for the misguided fool that is Arthur Pentlow

This is why I love you Moose. And your Neitzsche joke the other day has been judged a ‘quality meme’ by my young lad, which is heady praise.

Buried hand behind head? Or arm nowhere nearby? Or simply a nasty message for thieves? So many questions

Adding my vote - this is one of those books that should be thrust into the hands of every bookish teenager. Hugely likeable read with great world building.

Just finished it. Will be recommending far and wide!

I love the Grandad ambulance do much

That is such a wonderful read / and now I’m firmly invested in him, his beard, his turn of phrase and his work. Thank you!

It may be the best Disney cartoon ever - best song as well

Now you might have read Who Is Bugs Potter, but if not, can I recommend my all time favourite young adult orchestral crime comedy (Gordon Korman).
