It's not the mistake that matters, it's how you respond to it.

I get your point, but that is a deeply sad story. Fingers crossed those 75,000 gullible young women who drink her influencer kool-aid think a little more about the ill informed nonsense they consume on social media.

There are a lot of cards to choose from in Eno's Oblique Strategies deck. This one is my absolute favourite. In fact it's become my creative mantra. #HappyAccidents

Same meeting. Same outcome. Two very different headlines.

If there's one thing that's always bugged me about the internet its typography. The headline of this story in The Observer is a classic example. In the world of print that headline would all be on one line. Seriously how hard can it be?

Given trade period has now ended I suspect Barnaby may have to try his luck in the draft. #AFL

A daring heist at the Louvre. Luckily the gendarmes have their best man on the case.

A Bacharach classic. There’s a lovely live version by the young Elvis Costello on this album. Well worth a listen.

Feeling a little sorry for his younger brother, King Charles has allowed Prince Andrew to retain one of his titles.

Whilst it's great to see so many people out on the streets in America this w/e, I can't help wondering how on earth it was that in a country where so many people seem to care so passionately, that the Donald actually won the election.

Tell me about it! We have several large tree ferns in our garden and every time it gets windy the dying frond end up dumped everywhere. It's almost a full time job picking the fuckers up.

Feeling a bit out of sorts today. No idea why. In the immortal words of Mr Hal David, I just don't know what to do with myself.

Can you pick me up a couple of potato cakes.

Imagine going thru life having never had a curry or kebab. I mean seriously! Also someone needs to tell her that Jewish migrants brought fish 'n chips to England.

Another maverick departs the AFL.😢I'm no Pies fan but I've always had a soft spot for those who do things differently and big Cox certainly did that.

I just read that Topolinos on Fitzroy St is up for sale and it's giving me major young punk Stan flashbacks. Whether it was after gigs at The Ballroom or the Espy or the Sunday Night drag show at Pokies, we'd always gather in the early hours for a hearty capricciosa.

I bought a $1.99 cassette of Tonight's The Night as a teenager. I found it a baffling listen but over time grew to love its ramshackle beauty. What I will never love however is this technicolour rework of the album cover for its 50th birthday edition.
