Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Perth, Australia's hoon capital

Sunday, 22 November 2009 2:07 P GMT+10
Having returned repeatedly to Perth, Western Australia over the last two decades, I've seen a lot of changes. The place practically doubled in population, became ethnically and culturally way more diverse, and is now far more aggressive and fast-

Sex, violence and reality TV

Thursday, 1 October 2009 1:20 P GMT+10
It's pretty obvious that reality TV shows don't exactly attract the creme de la creme of society. Actually, it's starting to look like they attract its creme de la crim!See, the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of a porn star called F

Recurring phrase in McGurk murder reporting

Monday, 14 September 2009 12:40 P GMT+10
The murder of Michael McGurk is absolutely fascinating. It's like a bloody straight-to-DVD thriller, with a touch of Agatha Christie thrown in. Barely audible tapes, political powerbrokers, dodgy development deals, notes naming potential killers,

Perth plod's monkey madness

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 1:12 P GMT+10
Over in Perth, a bloke pretending to be a monkey has been arrested by a bloke pretending to be a policeman . Kind of ironic, since that city has more than its fair share of criminal rock apes running free. 

When abortion is murder

Friday, 29 May 2009 11:26 A GMT+10
When a teenager pays a bloke to beat her up so that her unwanted 7-month old fetus dies, she is charged with criminal solicitation to commit murder. But when a woman requests that the state do the same thing in a more focused and clinical manner (i.e

Andrew Mallard accepts payment

Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:39 P GMT+10
Andrew Mallard still isn't happy, even though he has accepted the West Australian Government's offer of over three million bucks. (He originally requested over seven million.)  But what's the diff between $7.25 million and $3.25 mill

Betting on a Supreme Court win

Wednesday, 20 May 2009 11:26 A GMT+10
Big time gambler called Harry Kakavas is suing Melbourne's Crown Casino for twenty million smackeroonies. He reckons that the casino kept luring him back, and should therefore reimburse him for much of the money he lost there.  Sounds like o

The first stone, etc.

Friday, 15 May 2009 6:41 P GMT+10
One thing that's disturbing about this Matthew Johns scandal is the excessiveness of the punishment being metered out to him. Bloke really has been made a scapegoat. It's completely unfair. Channel Nine doesn't really give a tinker's

Andrew Mallard

Saturday, 9 May 2009 2:55 P GMT+10
Andrew Mallard, who was wrongfully convicted for murder and spent 12 years in the slammer, has been offered over three million bucks in compensation. Yet he reckons it's not enough.  While the poor bastard went through hell, justice was even

Beach butt ban

Saturday, 9 May 2009 11:41 A GMT+10
Smoking will be banned practically everywhere in WA, including between the flags on beaches. Bizzare. And what'd be the point? Smoking while swimming is practically impossible anyway ... 

Surrender and win?

Thursday, 2 April 2009 2:34 P GMT+10
NSW Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell has a radical approach to the escalating bikie war in Sydney: just do nothing and let 'em kill each other! Given that the recent violence seems not to have harmed any innoncents (well, not as far I can re

New name required

Saturday, 28 March 2009 12:15 P GMT+10
Seems that many members of the new bikie club Notorious don't actually ride motorbikes. What do we call them then, "walkies"?Considering how menacing they are, it just doesn't do them justice.Any other suggestions? 

Sydney the new Miami?

Monday, 23 March 2009 9:51 A GMT+10
Re that lethal bikie brawl in Sydney Airport: The fact that it happened so openly and in such a crowded space shows that the long running drug battles have become open warfare now. Reminds me of the kind of atavism unleashed on Miami in the "coc

Sydney home invasion

Thursday, 12 March 2009 10:19 A GMT+10
Yet more violence in Sydney's inner west. This time it started with a home invasion. The coppers gave chase and at least one shot was fired. It occurred in a house in Campbell St, St Peters. I lived in that street for a short while when I first c

Killer crush?

Monday, 16 February 2009 4:55 P GMT+10
Brendan Sokaluk, accused of lighting one of the deadly fires in Victoria, turns out to be a very mixed up individual. Has had a few chick problems lately, it seems. And he's a bit of a nature boy, with a major crush on mother earth. (What do you

Burning desires

Friday, 13 February 2009 8:37 P GMT+10
Seems the bloke arrested for starting the Churchill fires possessed child pornography. Always a chance the plods have nabbed the wrong guy, of course, so it's good to keep an open mind. Still, if he is the culprit, as seems likely, he's both

Blast in Petersham

Wednesday, 4 February 2009 12:05 P GMT+10
Another scary event has occurred not far from where I live. This time it was an explosion in a bikie clubhouse in Petersham. No one was hurt, fortunately. But it was a biggie. What's going on in this joint? It's like Baghdad, but with boofhea

More violence in Newtown

Wednesday, 28 January 2009 11:38 P GMT+10
Just had a late night wander down along King St. Saw ambulances outside a hotel near the train station.The ambos were were finishing their grim duties and about to go back to the hospital. Don't know exactly what had happened, but it looked like

Grow up, Grandpa!

Tuesday, 6 January 2009 8:22 P GMT+10
If this ageing leadfoot from Victoria is anything like his younger counterparts, it's gonna be tough to get him to stop hooning up a storm. Hmmm. Maybe his grandchildren should give a photo of him to the Herald Sun to use in a

Tot in title fight

Saturday, 25 October 2008 6:10 P GMT+10
An Italian court has ordered the parents of a kid they named "Friday" to change the moniker pronto. Just as well Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and bub didn't settle there. If "Friday" provoked a court order, "Sunday Ros

Cycle of violence

Tuesday, 21 October 2008 12:36 P GMT+10
In April some young thugs teorrorized Merrylands High School. Yesterday, after one of them was sentenced, his mates went spacko outside the court, attacking waiting hacks and cameramen. This act of violence resulted in other charges being laid. 

Cocaine Cowboys

Sunday, 28 September 2008 4:23 P GMT+10
Have been indulging in a bit of a crime-fest lately. Watched another violent DVD - true crime this time. Cocaine Cowboys is a fast-paced, compelling doco about the growth of the cocaine trade in Miami in the 70s and 80s. If you thought the gruesome a

Heat

Saturday, 27 September 2008 8:50 P GMT+10
Have been hitting the DVDs again. Watched Heat. Brilliant, atmospheric stuff. The diner scene with DeNiro and Pacino is just classic. (If you're gonna have a squizz, take a week off work. The movie's about sixteen hours long.)Interesting triv

Violence in Newtown

Friday, 26 September 2008 6:31 P GMT+10
Newtown seems to have become a magnet for violence and criminality. Just recently some poor bastard was murdered in a pizza shop on King Street (the same street an armed robbery occurred a few weeks back). About ten minutes ago I heard on the wirele

Biffo on the beach

Tuesday, 16 September 2008 2:33 P GMT+10
This alleged act of violence made the news, 'cause it involved Casey Donovan, a celeb. But heaps of similar stoushes in Sydney go under the meeja radar.  Strangely, the pub in question (like so many of the venues were such events occur) is q
