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.

From Newtown to Leichhardt

Wednesday, 14 October 2009 9:27 P GMT+10
Am in the process of relocating from Newtown to Leichardt. It's a helluva thing, moving. And it gets harder and harder the older you get. I'm almost a quasi-codger, now, so it's not easy at all.  And it's not just the physical ef

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,

Swine flu in Sydney

Saturday, 18 July 2009 12:14 P GMT+10
As global pandemics go, swine flu is a really strange one. For a while there it was all over the front pages. Everyone was talking about it and basically packin' death. Turned out a few poor bastards here on Oz had caught it. But the numbers were

Creative Sydney lauds Earth Hour and The Chaser

Friday, 22 May 2009 5:47 P GMT+10
The Chaser has gotta be one of the worst shows on the teev. It's witless, nasty and not very funny. "Stunt humour" is done very well by someone like Sacha Baron Cohen because he is genuinely duping his victims, is an accomplished actor

Sydney the best city in Oz?

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 2:42 P GMT+10
So Sydney is the best place to live in Australia, according to this survey. Sorry, but I can't agree with this assessment. Sydney is a fantastic place, no doubt about it. But it's also extremely crowded, frenetic and grotty. Perth and Melbour

Sydney bikie brawl tour

Sunday, 12 April 2009 3:19 P GMT+10
Not long after that fatal brawl in Sydney Airport, bikies have had a punch up in Star City Casino. It's as if they're going out of their way to commit violence in well known public places. Makes you wonder where the next round of biffo will o

Strife imitates art

Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:27 P GMT+10
Hey, remember that champion Oz cult fillum Stone? In it, bikies were mysteriously dropping like flies and dropping off cliffs throughout Sydney.Kinda like nowadays, don't you think? The plods don't seem to be having much luck with their overt

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

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

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

Christmas time

Friday, 26 December 2008 5:29 P GMT+10
Amazing how this time of the year everything is so quiet. Streets are almost empty, many shops closed. Time really does seem to slow down substantially as a result.Shows just how much our internal body clocks are influenced by outside facto

Knife attack in Newtown

Monday, 24 November 2008 1:51 P GMT+10
I've written before about the frequent violence that occurs in this city. Another gruesome act occurred last night. This time it was at my local.Honest, the pub where it occurred is about three minutes walk from where I live!Scary.

Excremental as anything

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 12:06 P GMT+10
Don't know about you, but I do find this gelati-gate scandal weirdly fascinating. I mean, the plot's getting thicker than the notorious scoop in question!Like, just yesterday the Coogee Bay Hotel's legal team said they had proof that

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. 

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

Black cats a curse?

Friday, 19 September 2008 2:42 P GMT+10
So there's been an increase in black panther sightings in the western outskirts of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. New Premier Nathan Rees thinks it's worth investigating, because he thinks there have been too many sightings for the phenomenon

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

Intense Sydney

Sunday, 31 August 2008 12:32 P GMT+10
I live in a very quiet street in Newtown. But all around, in close proximity, dramatic stuff happens. Recently a bank was robbed - with shots being fired - on King Street. Last night, some huge warehouse party in Camperdown got way out of control and

Clear, crisp, cold

Monday, 18 August 2008 1:12 P GMT+10
The weather here in Sydders has been quite amazing lately. Chilly as, but also completely cloudless. Gives a whole different feeling to this intense, grotty city. It's gleaming, like God's just spruced up the joint. And it's not just NSW

Icy Brissy

Tuesday, 29 July 2008 1:34 P GMT+10
Seems that Brisvegas is now in the grip of  ferocious cold snap. Here in Sydders, it's bloody freezing too. I've lived in this city on and off for a few years, and I don't recall any time nearly as chilly as it is now. It's like

Charlotte Lindstrom latest

Saturday, 5 July 2008 12:52 A GMT+10
Hmmm. This is interesting ...Charlotte Lindstrom, that gorgeous young Sydney model found guilty of soliciting a hitman, is having her sentence -- thought by many to be overly leniant -- reconsidered by the DPP: Lindstrom will spend a maximum three y

Paul Sheehan nails Artsville

Monday, 26 May 2008 1:54 P GMT+10
I like reading Paul Sheehan's columns because you never quite know what to expect. While the lefties are ziggin' and the righties are zaggin' he's, er, gafooganoogling ... or something. And he can nail a culture's shortcoming
