A day off

Ahhhh…..the luxury of a day off from work. A legit day off too! With flatmate Yoda off in Stockholm for a while, I decided I needed a day all to myself to luxuriate in the ecstasy of doing absolutely nothing. Nada. Nil. It started off with a “sleep in”. Well, kind of. I woke up [...]

Nut Case & Fag in Enmore

This is a shop sign that has been “altered” in Enmore. It’s near a bus stop that I frequent and it never fails to give me a laugh. “”Farty Warts” particularly reminds me of the altered hotel sign in “Fawlty Towers” all those years ago. I think I’ll pass on the “Plastic Penis”

Someone finally calls out Swedes on their inherent racism!

There’s a wonderful article in the Swedish on-line English language newspaper/site “The Local”. The far-right wing anti-immigration (and anti- lots of other stuff) Sweden-Democrats gained about 20 seats (which is about 5% of the vote) in the recent Swedish elections. It has given the party legitimacy and a possible balance of power in Sweden. This [...]

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 [...]

Gay Flash Mob on Bondi Beach

There’s a new Gay Flash Mob video out that happened at Sydney Harbour this weekend. It’s okay but it reminded me of the absolute classic Bondi Beach Flash Mob video with Joyce Mange. Now that was a classic and a total shock for the other beach goers last year! And the one from this weekend [...]

Maggie Burns & Co – Patchs, Sydney – 1985

These are the last two songs from Maggie Burns & Company’s “Games” which was performed at Patchs, Oxford Street, Sydney for several months in 1985. Generally at 2am! And I should know – I was there for quite a few of those performances. Home video cameras were new and expensive and a then friend of [...]

Older n Last Time – a little movie gem from Aussie-land

There’s still one good thing about the very tarnished Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras – and that’s the Film Festival put on by Queer Screen. As usual, this year I’d circled about 10 movies I wanted to see at the festival. And, as usual, session times, logistics and vagueness on my part saw me [...]

Matthew Mitcham is not circumcised

The things people search for on the internet………. I’ve been having a look at the statistics for visitors to thebestjudge.com recently and have noticed some really interesting ways people find this site. The things people type into search engines never fail to bemuse me. Still, I suppose I’ve done the same thing so I shouldn’t [...]

Sydney in Summer: Day 1

Today is the first official day of summer in Sydney. Well, for the whole of Australia actually So I thought I’d put up a few sunny-Sydney photos I took recently on a very hot day. A hot daywhen the trains were broken and I had to walk to Luna Park, wait for a ferry, get [...]

Swedish Christmas Bazaar in Sydney

Yesterday the Swedish Church in Sydney held their annual Christmas Bazaar. James and Yoda study Swedish at the cafe located next to the Swedish church and naturally wanted to check out the bazaar. I was asked to tag along but was stuck waiting for a Woolies Homeshop order to arrive before I could jump in [...]
