Apparently there’s a trend on social media outlets where deliberate grammatical or spelling errors are included in posts to trigger user engagement. Frankly I find this ridiculos.

Is the right time to throw out a bath towel once they feel like a sheet of plasterboard covered in sand paper?

I’ll be doing some jokes on the Amuse-Bouche Stage at Harvest Rock festival in Adelaide, on the Saturday around lunch time. In your face, school flute teacher who said I’d never do a music festival!

So many electric vehicles on the roads now. I just feel sorry for the teenagers doing burnouts in their parents car and creating the noise of someone using a Dyson cordless stick in the library.

Went to a mini golf place yesterday and asked the guy at the counter “how much for two adults and two kids for 18 holes?” He said “the price list is on the sign over there.” Which is three times as many words to say than “fifty five dollars.”

Scott and Big Al are two of my favourite South Australians, and their new podcast SHORT SHOW runs just 5 mins per episode. GREAT IDEA!
