At this stage, would you really be shocked or surprised if it was?

This story is like the journalists version of the Twelve Days of Christmas, isn’t it? Every day a new gift, escalating in size.

OMG, I was only just thinking this. It was still sitting in a thought balloon above my head when I read your comment!

We really need, as a society, to STOP paying people for shit like this. It only encourages people to be the worst people that they can possibly be. Why the fuck not, if you can profit by it?

For the first time ever, I had to read this post in two sittings. By the time I was halfway through I was already in a seething sympathetic rage at the levels of stupidity, entitlement and rudeness of these people. Colin, you definitely called this one right. These people really are the devil.

Maybe if every word we used could be taken at face value instead of loaded with implication, it would cease to be a problem. Yes, Beyonce is curvy. She has curves. I also have curves, but I’m also fat. If I could be allowed to call myself fat without well meaning people automatically jumping down my throat that I’m…

I neither hate or love them. I’m just...sort of....tired of hearing about them.

I’m lacto-ovo, with strict limitations on the dairy when I purchase them. I think the chill part can come from anybody who practices any dietary choice if they realise that it is a choice and not a religion. The problem with most of these lifestyle choices is that the people who make them believe themselves to have…

I take a ridiculously long time to come out of the effects of anaesthesia, so I had mine extracted at 8 in the morning and was still unable to lift my head from the pillow at five that afternoon when they were kicking me out from my day surgery. So my father had to carry me to the car in my pyjamas and I lay on the…

I’ve never really been into Kylie’s music, but damn, every time I look at her I’m forced to realise that she’s the same age as me and she looks like that and I look like a woman in her mid forties who’s made a lifestyle choice that involved Smiths Crisps and binge-watching Sherlock and Dr Who.

Apropos of nothing, if you asked me to guess what this batshit lady did for a living based on the above photo I’d guess a small town salon owner catering to the blue rinse set.

Bit of column A, bit of column B.....

I’m pretty sure if God had been cast as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, he would have been told to rein it in quite a bit.

My first thought also. I love Emily. But Richard was her perfect foil.

I’ve been doing my best work on that for the past two days. So have many of my friends. If we can’t do it, it can’t be done.

Nope. I want their lives to be as frustrating and thwarted as that of the LGBT people of this country who want to marry. Because I”m petty and small that way.

I miss Hack. Used to be my favourite peak hour commute listening. Then I got put on night shifts. So very upset I missed last nights.

I know. When I heard about this earlier today I started laughing and laughing and I haven’t stopped really. I actually considered driving to Canberra and camping out outside his business premises just so I could point and laugh every time he entered or left. But then I reconsidered. Because Canberra is a loooong drive…

As an Australian, I find the American fondness for our accent really, really bizarre. I find it quite strident and jarring when I hear it anywhere but here at home.

This is one of those things that I read about and thought that only “other” people (in other words, nobody I actually know) would do. Then a Facebook friend posted that she was doing it. Her post got a ridiculous number of likes and positive, encouraging comments. Now I’m seriously considering putting my name down for…
