Melbourne trains … so neat. So orderly. a place for everything, and everything in its place.
A fitting place to consider the wonder of apple genius … only it could juxtapose this:
… with this:
Nice. Sort of a fat thin thing.

My name is Bond, psycho Bond
November 17, 2008 – 3:33 pm
I am, I guess a Bond child. All the films have been made in my lifetime .. all of them. I own all the books of course. In well-thumbed Pan paperback. Rather fond of Bond, wise cracking, oddly worldly/naive. A character rather out of time to modern eyes. The books are rather anchored in their [...]

Reg Varney eh. That’s a bit sad. And I hated On The Buses.
Last of the Melbourne wets: commute 14.11.08
November 14, 2008 – 8:22 am
It’s raining in Melbourne. Thunder at dawn. On the street the gutters are blocked, puddles stretched across the path, the railway underpass awash. Silly me in suede shoes and no umbrella. Sadly out of practice.

Warren and the urinary dipstick
November 13, 2008 – 4:40 pm
The PM’s off to G20 (”What?” “George don’t be silly.”) and according to that nice Bernard Keane a new mood of lighthearted levity came to the federal parilament this afternoon. A mood, it needs to be said, that left Warren Truss untouched. It was he, po-faced, who drew the attention of an oblivious nation to [...]
Malcolm goes all hebrew
November 11, 2008 – 2:13 pm
Malcolm Turnbull in Question Time musing on the Armistice. He quotes a Psalm “which when you read it in the original Hebrew …”
WTF!! Is there no end to this man’s talents and learning?
Public interest put off the record
November 7, 2008 – 11:44 am
This is pretty unedifying.
Now we have an individual journalist deciding to keep from the world the certain proof that Sarah Palin was a candidate of limited schooling, restraint and intellect. That’s not a decision that any journalist worth their salt should take. If the consequence of breaking an off-the-record agreement is ostracism from the campaign [...]
Meanwhile, somewhere in Afghanistan …
November 6, 2008 – 2:59 pm
Of all the hundreds of images in dozens of photogalleries published in this post-Obama world, this single frame from deep in the Huffington Post struck me as having a grounding poignancy. Somewhere in Afghanistan, US soldiers watch the election of their new commander in chief.
