night-time fog

I see Steve has been setting some sort of land-speed record around Latrobe Uni on the weekend. He should be careful, at that speed he’s in danger of taking off and landing somewhere unpleasant: Preston, perhaps or Reservoir.
My weekend was far more prosaic. Not for me the setting of 100 metre records, nor drunken brawls [...]

fags

Some of you may have read the title of today’s post and thought “oh-oh. JH has lost it - he’s going off on some sort of homophobic rant, Andrew Bolt-style”.
Others may have thought “oh good. A post about lollies of yesteryear”.
Both camps are sadly wide of the mark. It’s about cigarettes.
Way back when, [...]

fraternising with the troops and a virtual run

I’m a bit confused about this:

Apparently, that photo is something like a “before” picture. What, allegedly, happened after this was taken is that one of the people in the foreground had some sort of minor orgy with a bunch of people in the background.
This is a scandal, apparently.
I’m not overly upset. Hey, soldiering must be [...]

more stupidity

I think it’s fair to say my cardigan’s online debut yesterday was something of a success. That’s my story and I intend to stick to it.
The most positive comment came, worryingly, from Stumac:
You’re so right…
From Andrew.
Choc full of animal magnetism and rugged good looks
Em gave it 8/10 and Morsey said:
I think you can wear the [...]

back to the tan

What with one thing or another (reproducing, being 30km away) it’s been some time since I sampled the delights of Melbourne’s running mecca AKA “the tan”. Well, I got out there today, and lo and behold it’s no longer tan!
Well, some of it is, but great swathes of the place, down by the yarra, have [...]

fashion

I’ll have you know all you jeerers and jokers, you makers of glib remarks and producers of cheap laughs at the expense of me and my cardigan, we (the cardigan and I) have been a great success.
Yes, the cardy has made its public debut to great acclaim. Beautiful women stopped and stared. Gay men whispered [...]

where do they get these people?

I’m on leave at present, looking after assorted babies and wives and the like. All good fun. One of the side benefits of all this is having a lot more time to catch up on day-time TV, a pleasure I only indulge in rarely.
I must say this: you get some RIGHT FREAKS on TV during [...]

hail catherine

Good old Catherine Deveny knows just what to say. Here she is today on Sam Newman, the Footy show and the Logies:
The guys who sit by rolling their eyes saying “Oh Sam!” are just as bad. The show should be called “Pigs in Suits”.
Has Kate Ritchie broken new ground in creative endeavour, challenged outmoded cultural [...]
