My great great great (?) grandfather was a composer who worked with both Gilbert and Sullivan, eventually introducing the two to each other.

I was living with a mate in Melbourne. We were pissed and stoned, flicking around channels before hitting the cot and landed on ABC about five minutes before the second plane hit. We kept drinking and stayed up to watch both towers fall. Somehow make it to work a few hours later, still blowing...

I have a gun, an old. 22 Brvno from Czechoslovakia. I use it to kill pest species (rabbits, foxes and Indian Mynahs) out at my old man's bush block. Our goal is to reduce competition from introduced species as much as possible. I've also been known to deliver a mange-ridden wombat into the sweet...

There's a special circle of he'll reserved for ohs managers. And I occasionally get charity people knocking on my door asking me to sign up for whatever cause. After listening to their opening pitch, I'm particularly fond of responding with "when it comes to charity I stop at nothing" and then...

Why can't I get a lamb kebab in Sydney? Only beef and chicken on offer. FFS Sydney, sort yourself out.

Me and the cook areSydney atm for a bit of a break, haven't been here for nearly ten years. Put $20 on an opal card at the airport and we caught a train to museum station. When we tapped off I wasn't quick enough to read the screen and so couldn't tell see which figure was credit or debit, but...

Losing your drivers license in a country area is something like a double punishment, due to the distances that need to be travelled (shops, work etc) and the lack of public transport. But the other side if this is the relatively minimal risk of getting picked up by the police if you continue...

Had the black sheep of the family stay at my joint for three nights over Xmas, a cousin from WA. Meth has wrecked him as a functioning member of family and society. He can't be in a room with real life adult people for longer than half an hour before heading off for a nap. A few hours later...

Righto, I'm all hepped up now... WT actual F do OHS people do during the work day? (rhetorical question, see below). Ninety-nine point five nines of the time the drones (i.e. the people who bust their arse to make the money) get through the day without incident. If something happens, OHS are...

The OHS manager called our office a few weeks back. He was all in a tizz; apparently we hadn't logged any "near hits" for eight months, and the clients' OHS department was starting to ask questions. We explained we hadn't had any worth reporting. "That's not good enough", he said. "It's a...

Workplace safety, in my job anyway, seems to be all about the lowest common denominator - as in, "let's think up the biggest incompetent dickhead walking disaster area who could ever possibly work for us, then gear all our safety policies and procedures towards keeping him safe". Which is well...

Hydrographer, coming up for eleven years.

Underestimate this one at your own peril.

In times of biblical downpours, spare a thought for the courageous men and women who install and service the rain and river gauging stations and measure the volume of water the rivers carry, all whilst dealing with the burden of administration. #prayforourhydrographers

Better to have an empty house than a bad tenant.

My old man was on Neighbours. About fifteen years ago the writers came up with a plot line that called for - wait for it - one of the characters to lose her memory! The character's husband thought he'd show her stuff from her past to help recover her memory, including old school photos. The set...

Teeth. Teeth s**t me. Had a tooth fall apart over the weekend which made for a very ordinary couple of days. Constant, nagging pain. Couldn't get into a dentist until today so dosed myself up on codeine ibuprofen pills. Perhaps overdid it though. Was lying on the couch late last night (no...

Life is a strange and difficult journey.

Ten years back or so I found a utensil pump under a bridge. The potential for pranks was far too great to leave it there so I bravely overcame my disgust, washed it in the river and put it in the work ute. That evening after work I dropped into a mate's place and secreted it under his couch. A...

Oh Christ, I was home alone one night as a young chap and happened across an SBS movie where Emmanuelle Béart played a young peasant girl turned nude model for a local artist. It took weeks for the skin to grow back.
