The Coalition’s decision to abandon Net Zero this week and their sad dedication to coal-fired power stations reminded me of this ‘Rooftop Coal’ interview sketch I wrote for Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell 3 years ago. Superbly delivered by Francis Greenslade. #auspol

Last night I saw ‘The Haunting of Spook Mansion (by ghosts)’ written by my ole Mad As Hell buddy Michael Ward. Lots of great gags and fantastic performances by Peter Houghton, Emily Taheny & Ben Russell. Only a couple of shows left in Melbourne: www.spookmansion.com

Went to a major retailer today. Guy at the register asked if I wanted a receipt. I said no thanks. Then as I was leaving a security guard stopped me & didn’t seem to believe I had just paid for the items I was carrying. If you need a receipt to leave the store, why give me the option not to get one?

Yeah I’m done with surveys. I’ll do the census once a decade but I’m not staying on the line to give you my valuable feedback.

True story. Except for the public defecation bit.
How a typo meant @davidmgreen.bsky.social saw the 1993 family movie ‘Beethoven’s 2nd’ at the cinema twice. A tedious anecdote. #vhsrevue #dog

‘Add Sound to Your Movies’ by Mike Kent (1979). I’ve never worked with film before or even audio tape beyond making a few mix cassettes. So it was eye opening to read this and discover just how limited, tedious, fiddly and expensive it used to be to make a simple home movie with sound…
