Can’t a guy get a couple of days to himself once in a while? Apparently not, if my current schedule is anything to go by. ‘Tis the season to be busy, it seems. Still, I’m starting to get over always having relatives visiting, or else having a trip that I planned months ago pop in …
How do you even begin to go about creating a building? I mean, presumably you start with the relevant training and experience in construction, and ideally an architectural plan that tells you what goes where. It’s not like you just wake up one day and know how to do it, but even so, I still …
Back in the day, when I was a used car salesman, I had my special ways to get a hot sale. Sometimes, while we were taking the car for a test drive (and thus they were distracted with seeing how the car handled), I’d casually let slip that a celebrity was born in the back …
I suppose I’ve always had a thing for car trips. We didn’t leave the house very much in Romania, but I quickly learned that in Australia, people tend to leave their homes slightly more. We were making efforts to integrate, so I ruled that the family would go out at least once a week. Things …
Sadie’s getting a bit carried away with her renovation plans, if you ask me. I know she’s loaded now, but does that mean she needs a whirlpool Jacuzzi, a rainfall shower with built-in sound system and an infrared sauna? I’m just wondering if maybe she should… like, save some of that inheritance money for a …
Everyone knows that window tinting is one of the easiest ways to achieve thermal comfort, so I don’t understand why people aren’t behind me on this. True, I might have gone a little hard on drumming it in at the last few team meetings, but I wouldn’t have had to go to extremes if someone …
There’s a phantom car in town, and I’ve had just about had it up to here with it. The sound of its engine revving somehow drills through seven dimensions, with nary a thought for mortal eardrums. And the thing has zero concern for road rules, carving through front yards, ovals and even waterways like it’s …
Running a catering business from home, it turns out, is no walk in the park. I thought my operation was small enough to get away without having a commercial kitchen at my disposal, but I’m rapidly realising that I was wrong. Half the problem is the fridge, which is perpetually filled with grazing table fodder, …
You know that type of house that was super commonplace when you were a kid, to the point that you can’t help but turn your nose up at it design-wise? This doesn’t really rely on you being born at any particular time, by the way. I’ve no doubt that people of all generations can relate …
I’m back, see! Can’t keep a good reporter down for long, even if I wasn’t so much ‘down’ as I was lying on a beach in Brisbane. Down in elevation, I guess, but I’m back in good old Melbourne town and on the trail of the biggest scoop of my career, see! That vigilante is …
