Weddings don't half bring out the weirdos
I need to have a quick rant, so I’ve dusted off my old Groupthink Kinja (someone may recognise me from like, years ago).
Apologies!
Hi GT'ers,
Drunk animal photography.
It just goes to show, no matter whether you're in a city or not. In Australia, EVERYTHING wants to kill you. Look at the murder in this possums eyes...
I have joined Le Twitter
Some of you may remember me under a different name (same picture - I'm not that "mysterious"), others (probably most) don't know me at all, but I've been too tempted to see what's going on on there so I've taken the plunge.
No matter how disappointing life can be...
So I have been on a few dates the last couple of weeks with the most AMAZING girl ever. Smart, intelligent, feminist and gets me and my weird bits, and not to forget, completely blooming gorgeous...
Quick PSA: Name Change
So I work in recruitment and I've been building a training scheme on how to track down candidates that don't want to be found. As part of it, I thought I'd show how easy it is to find where people hang out online, where messaging people you have no other contact option for may be possible - advanced Google Fu if you…
So this happened in my apartment building last night... TW: domestic violence and horrifying
Ugh. I hate the world sometimes.
The finest plans... now semi homeless
Well, now I'm homeless, well not quite, but fairly up shit creek with nary a paddle. Still, I have a job now, but nowhere longer term to stay, which is on reflection not too bad.
It's all starting to come together - decision time
I just want to start with: I'm lucky, insanely lucky and privileged, please feel free to tell me to shut the fuck up at any point.
Time for a name change... TW - Totally Inane and spurious
Sooooo... my current user name is boring, makes no sense and is decidedly inane considering the steller performances from commenters on here, admittedly I've posted under it for several years here and elsewhere where I didn't really think about signing up, it's my default "That's what they named you on the University…
Seriously Australia, WTF?** TW - totally inane rant.
You decide to cull endangered shark species, and shit on your own doorstep, I'm working my arse off to get residency here. Seriously... why?! (YES I NEED TO VENT)
Has anyone else seen this on Facebook? Am I just really slow?
For the last week or so, I've been noticing that whenever anyone on my feed puts up one of those hyperbolic articles ("We're all going to die because of XXX" or "People need to stop this", you know the kind of article I mean, full of strong words, vague "researchers" mentioned, other similar articles with limited…
America advice please (and also international smuggling opportunity!)
First of all, sorry, I've been away for a bit (again), however I'm headed to the land of the free for the Christmas season, I'll be flying out of Oz and a few of you have expressed interest in certain Australian snacks and foods, if anyone wants to put in an order for something small, cheap and easily portable (and…
First ever Tinder date report
Heya, after a plea for assistance yesterday (thanks for all the advice by the way!) a few of you asked me to let you know how it went.
So Tinder help!
Last weekend I got a shiny new iPhone and, being a single guy with plenty of time on his hands in a big city decided to see what the fuss was about. I've now been matched with a spectacularly pretty girl and after some light hearted chatting we've arranged to meet for coffee tomorrow.
So I've done a thing... (warning - farm stuff)
I have survived four months in the middle of nowhere, working as a farmhand on a sheep (wool) station to get my shiny new visa for Australia - a profound sense of irony where the founders of a penal colony are forced to do physical labour to remain in said former penal colony. Now I can drive a tractor, build a fence,…
Shameless plug for a good friend of mine: On being Bisexual
This is her second published blog entry, so she's pretty excited!
So my divorce finalised today...
I've been away from GT for a while - the internet as a whole really for the last 3 months, I'm in the Australian outback working as a farmhand. I've got 2 weeks to go and I was planning doing a big "I'm back" post, which I suppose I will (with some epic pictures of kangaroos), but I just drove 30km to pick up my…
Confession... today I did a bad thing and I'm totally not ashamed
Tomorrow I fly back to the outback in Australia after a week out back in England and today I was supposed to go shopping to replace all my tattered remains of clothes with new ones.
Just been to see Pacific Rim... and my crazy life while a teeny bit trousered.
Was on a bit of a downer today, within 30 seconds of eachother this morning my Dad informed me via text that my divorce had been submitted before the judge (a bit more complicated in the UK and the penultimate stage, my parents spending their retirement running postal interference for me) and the girl that I really…
