Having got screwed over by a bank last week, I can totally relate to these “Barbara” TV commercials. I should point out that I didn’t get screwed over by ANZ – it was another of the “Big 4″ in Australia.
Hoyts Big Rip-Off: $5.20 for a Choc Top
Yoda and I went to the flicks last weekend. It was a primarily forgettable film – Hot Tub Time Machine – but it was okay. People have been complaining about the prices they pay for food and drink at cinemas for years. But last weekend I experienced the ultimate rip off from Hoyts Cinema. Whatever [...]
F*cking F*cebook!
Bloody Facebook! FaceAche I call it. Because it is a pain. A pain in the arse. You cannot have a sensible conversation with anyone thesedays without the bloody ‘f’ word coming into it. Lesbian weddings, going away drinks, a normal day at work….it’s always bloody Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. I say f*ck off Facebook! I can’t [...]
I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!
This movie completely blew me away as a 16 year old in the 70s. Network. Absolutely brilliant. Today, after not having a shower for three days and having back and forth pointless telephone calls, dealing with incompetent real estate agents and electrical repair companies, I was reminded of this phrase from Network… ‘I’M AS MAD [...]
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 [...]
Hello Mr. Zimmer
Hello Mr. Zimmer, do you have a frame I could borrow? Sunday night in London. I should be out tripping the fight lantastic. But I am in my hotel room and I want to go to bed. I am tired. Star Trek 12 – So Very Tired kind of tired. I’ve had a look through [...]
48 Crash
Crash, crash, 48 crash…crash, crash…waaaaaaahhh…. Not the song. Me. When I first visited London I was in my early thirties. I had jetlag for a few days and then never looked back. I am no longer in my early 30s. Walking around London last night – Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road, Piccadilly Circus etc. – [...]
JudgeG’s week from hell
It was the week from hell and luckily I’m still here to bitch about it! It all started Monday morning – I got woken up by a text message from a friend in Sweden at 6.30am. I’d gone to sleep late and the beeping sound of the phone really made me jump up. After looking [...]
9 degrees? Shiver me timbers!
The above photo is a quick snap – a rather bad one at that – taken at Milsons Point train station in North Sydney just after 8.30pm on Wednesday night. I had to stop and take this shot as I waited for the train because I was gobsmacked by it. Yes it IS winter in [...]
