Livet är en schlager comes back to Sydney: Screw you SBS!

I am as happy as a pig in shit! I’m so happy I could just shit! I just found out that there’s a Nordic Film Festival coming up in Sydney next month. And they will be showing ‘Livet är en schlager’ also known as ‘Once in a Lifetime’ in English. This is a fabulous movie [...]

Adelaide, September 2009 – a bit of self indulgence

I recently went back home to Adelaide for Father’s Day. For some reason I walked around town randomly snapping off shots with my digital camera. Shots of places I remember from when I used to live there, places that meant something to me and places/things that have changed since I moved away. There’s also a [...]

CD Singles are NOT dead!

…at least not to me. I bought 3 tonight. It was a challenge – they’re so bloody hard to find thesedays. They might be disdained by today’s vacuous Generation-Nothings, but I will always love them. First up is the fabulous ‘Heavy Cross’ by GOSSIP. Saw this on Video Hits ages ago and could never remember [...]

The long and winding hangover

It’s Sunday night and I think I’m finally finished with a hangover that began in the early hours of Saturday morning. James had texted me on Friday afternoon to see f I wanted to catch up for a bevvie after work. Well, it had been another week from hell at work so I quickly agreed. [...]

There’s just too much niceness in the world

…or at least seems that way. You can’t say “boo to a lesbian” these days. Or is that “boo to a goose”? Well anyway, I was forcefully reminded of this T-Shirt sent to me by a rather sick (minded) friend in America. Someone who knows me and my sense of humour well. Too well actually [...]

Goddamn breeders and their evil sprogs. Arghh!

Bloody breeders. Popping out their spawn and then treating them like dolls in an artificial world where they get anything and everything they want. On demand. Right bloody now. I’ve had enough of ‘em. Today I traversed buses, trains, shopping centres, the city and a cinema. And I came to the conclusion that, not only [...]

How old are you?

I might have been a toddler and then a primary schooler back in the 1960s but there are still early memories I remember vividly. Songs that have stuck with me for around 40 years. And certainly a few that were special to my Mum and also resonated with me. Although we didn’t have the word [...]

How to Tell if a Guy is Circumcised From Across a Bar

This is hilarious. Of course it isn’t very accurate – it assumes all circumcised guys must be Jewish. In Australia and America at least that is not true. And if only it were this easy I’d be out at bars every night! —————————————- How to Tell if a Guy is Circumcised From Across a Bar [...]

You have to pay for a cream puff in Adelaide?

Honey, I live in Sydney – we have more cream puffs than you’ll ever see in a bakery. This sign from King William Street, Adelaide – from a shop with the strange name of ‘Beard Papa’ – really took my fancy on the weekend. ‘Cream Puff’ is another way of saying ‘Gay’ – or even [...]

Who checked the artwork before it went to press?

Now it was a nice idea. Swedish company ‘Locum’ decided to with the Swedish public a Merry Christmas via an advertisement in a newspaper. Nothing wrong with that! Just a little issue with the artwork, the design of their logo and perhaps the lack of someone with English skills casting an eye over the final [...]
