Some quite powerful revelations about the power of genetic inheritance.
It’d be silly not to document my Ice Bucket Challenge video here (made in response to Wayne Francis dobbing me in for it). This has all been a wildly effective and truly viral exercise in raising funds and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis research – I couldn’t imagine that there’s many people left now who haven’t heard…
Monty Python. I got to see Monty frigging Python perform, live (almost)*. Twice. Where to begin on a story like this?! At the tender young age of about 10 whilst killing time in the Victorian town of Elmore my brother and I availed ourselves of about the only method we had at our disposal to…
I fully appreciate that this is some sort of karmic payback.

I love Tropfest. It started as an Australian short film festival (now an international event of 20 years) where anyone could enter a 7 minute or shorter film on pretty much anything they liked, provided it somehow featured the “theme item” for that year, in whatever oblique way they wanted. And whilst watching one of…
