‘Keeping you bastards entertained isn’t easy’ Now I know how George Negus felt for all those years – constantly striving for an interesting angle and trying to meet the strict deadlines and high expectations of the ABC viewing public. My task is no less demanding in trying to satisfy this media-savvy mob. Seriously though, I […] ‘But were too sensible to ask’ Being on the other side of the world hasn’t stopped me getting into a familiar routine, albeit starting four hours earlier. My new job at gameplay has been going for nine days now, and I can feel myself becoming ingrained into the structure of the place. My job is […] Greetings my good droogs, Today I thought I’d start off with some London slang so that you will know what I’m talking about if it ever creeps into my vocabulary.

I went to bed feeling a little bit lurgy but got knocked down by the news that I didn’t get any houses I wanted and will have to raise myself from the infirmary/nursery to once again walk […] ‘Some of the buildings are a bit old though.’ The week began with my ass wanting a divorce and now my feet are threatening to walk out on me. I’ve hit the pavement in search of a house. I’ve walked so far that little bald patches have appeared high up on my upper inner thigh.

I’d had about two hours of partial sleep on the way in, and was feeling a little tired, it being about 4 am Australian time. As the flight was reboarding my spare seat was cruelly taken from me. I don’t know […] ‘If man go through gate sideways, he going to Bangkok’ (Disclaimer – If any of the following should cause offence, or any plagiarism issues arise, please contact my legal counsel. Any obscure references are the result of this being a mass mail out. My apologies to the confused.) This week began for me with the […] |
