Australian Rules Football. Aussie Rules. Footy. Violent red egg kickball. The game of Australians running around a huge oval, chasing after a red egg, charging into each other and kicking said red egg into between big posts. A game where if you’re into a little man on man action or woman on woman action -not … Continue reading A Non Aussie Take on Aussie Rules Football

Valentines Day
V-Day! Nope, not the name for the end of a major war such as the war on people who play music out loud on public transport, or an abbreviation for the ever so popular Vagina Day. V-Day, more formally known as Valentine’s Day is that commercial and consumerism based holiday (much like Christmas) that happens … Continue reading Valentines Day
The Value of Friendship
Let’s just start off by being blunt, we are nothing without our friends. Our friends mean more to us than almost everything. It’s been said many times that we need people to survive and that statement is more accurate than an Olympic clay pigeon shooters shot. We need friends to survive. We need to have … Continue reading The Value of Friendship

Year In Review

Obviously, words like shit, horrible, disaster and egregious come to mind, but they don’t do it justice as this year was … Continue reading Year In Review

10 Years
In 10 years where do you think you will be? Will you have gained that promotion you’ve been slaving away for? Will you have produced 14 arsehole children and 1 sound child you’ve named Clive? Or will you have stagnated and still living that everyday life thing with just a little bit of change? To … Continue reading 10 Years
Christmas
Scrooge, Grinch and Christmaszilla, all names associated with one thing that causes people to hate on you like you’ve just taken a big heavy shite on their car bonnet – hating Christmas. Yes, there’s plenty of people who will hate on you for going against the grain and hating the holiday, unless you’re of a … Continue reading Christmas
