Lazy eater

Posted on March 28, 2008 by

It’s a grand old flag, it’s a high flying flag…

Can someone please explain to me why on Earth I have the team song of the West Perth Falcons (or Joondalup Falcons – what they’re calling themselves these days) in my head? I’m a Subiaco supporter, for effs sake… and … Continue reading →

Work sucks, I know.

Posted on March 26, 2008 by

Wow… So, do you know what is actually fucking me off hardcore at the moment? When people at work don’t believe me. Students, I mean. When they ask me a question, and refuse to believe that my answer is actually … Continue reading →

Three things I’d like to discuss

Posted on March 19, 2008 by

Posted on March 18, 2008 by
