Afternoon all! As December hovers into view, so too does my trip back to Adelaide, Melbourne & Canberra. If you’d like to catch up, can you send me a facebook message, an email, a message through the Contact Me form, a text message, etc. & we can work out a time/date/place! Adelaide: Dec 12, (busy…
Magnificent, isn’t it? After a long day out & demanding evening, it’s possible – thanks to the wonders of modern domestic science – to enjoy a healthy and balanced pouch of nutrients, and though the diagram on the front looks terrifyingly wholesome, the preparation method is actually a lot simpler than you might initially suspect!…
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Y’know sometimes when you do something which is just straight-out cool, and you know you’re gonna remember for the rest of your life? Well, that! I read on the HIGHLY EXCELLENT “Ian Visits” blog that it’s possible to arrange to take a tour of the Clock Tower at the Houses of Parliament, and that…
Yes, I know today’s Friday. This may be in part inspired by my recent-ish reunions with former Torrens Park Cub Pack alumni Ben Glazier, Jeremy Cochran, and via t’internet, Alex Brooks.

Spiders and I have a bit of a non-agression pact going currently. It wasn’t always this way, but then in Australia they’re usually going into the argument a little better equipped. It started when I was about 8 or 9, and Dad made us a sort of cubby house in the back yard which was…
There’s no point in instigating a cockup if you can’t tell everyone about it, right? Back in June Emzo kindly bought me a ticket to see Teignmouth alt rock legends Muse in November for my birthday, and ever since I’ve been pretty damn excited about the idea. Bop & Tom wanted to come along, so…
Tuesday night saw the much anticipated arrival of the Boffoonery show – a comedy fundraiser benefitting Britain’s historical codebreaking centre, Bletchley Park. If the name’s not familiar, Bletchley Park is the site where British cryptanalyst Alan Turing – with the aid of his dedicated team – cracked the formidable German encryption codes being used on…
A bloke just walked into the office and asked if he could check our airconditioning after lunch. Now, last time anyone futzed around with our aircon (“cleaning it”, I think was the term they used) it stopped working for about 4 weeks. It wasn’t all that long ago either, really. General consensus in here is…
And that, as they say, was the trip. I’m presently parked in the BA lounge at JFK, having been dragged from my 9:00 flight to the 18:00 one. They offered me $800 by way of compensation for my trouble, and by smiling at the lady I managed to wangle a day pass to the lounge…
