Everything has to be assembled thesedays. Self assembly is the way of the lord. Since I moved it has been about putting crap together – crap from Officeworks, Fantastic Furniture and, naturally, IKEA. I’m not really wanting to see an Allen key again. I’m over it. Majorly. Why can’t you just add water and these [...]
Birkenhead Point….very beautiful, very pointless
We went along to Birkenhead Point Shopping Centre/Outlet Mall yesterday in search of curtains. There was supposed to be a big Spotlight store there so we made the trek via a couple of buses and a walk in the heat. Birkenhead Point is almost unrecognisable from the “downmarket” shopping market/area that I last visited over [...]
My phone company is going to hell in a merged hand-basket!
Not happy, Jan. Not happy at all. For the last four years I have been a customer of 3-Mobile Australia. Prior to that I had both analogue and digital mobile phones with Telecom / Telstra for 13 years. Telstra became a nightmare – no matter what plan I was on or what “special offers” they [...]
Better Homes Than Mine
Every week, millions of people watch home decoration/improvements shows on TV, buy magazines on the subject and salivate at the thought of a visit to their nearest Bunnings mega-hardware store. Not me. I don’t think I’m cut out for this domestic “Better Homes & Gardens” bullshit. Yesterday I spent a considerable amount of time at [...]
Sunday morning and I’m not happy!
It’s Sunday morning, the first day of daylight saving and right in the middle of a long weekend. I should be happy. But I’m not. I’m not happy, Jan! Overnight my inflatable mattress has developed another puncture. This is the second inflatable I’ve had since moving to Yoda’s place. It blew out earlier in the [...]
The Christopher Pyne Experiments
The right-wing anti-fun police had this post removed from the ABC’s Drum website. It is actually hilarious and should have been kept on the site. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3ywF6oLQXBAJ:www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/27/3023063.htm The Christopher Pyne experiments By Marieke Hardy Updated Mon Sep 27, 2010 4:13pm AEST It seems there is nobody in the entire world who is loathed by Australia more [...]
A post from the plane…24 July
I started out with the intention to send in regular posts from my overseas trip in July/August of this year. I always start out with good intentions. I only got as a far as a writing a post on the Sydney – Seoul part of my journey about the horrible period leading up to going [...]
I think I was done over by a “Barbara” last week
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 [...]
