If you haven’t tried ChatGPT, then you must. I asked the question: how to stop Russia war in Ukraine? Response As an AI language model, I cannot provide a definitive solution to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as it is a complex political and military issue with historical roots and multiple stakeholders involved. […]
Worried About Your Memory?
If you’re over 50 and worried about memory loss or becoming forgetful, then read a new book: Adventures in Memory — the Science and Secrets of Remembering and Forgetting by Hilde and Ylva Ostby. In short, our fears relate to quite natural ageing in the 21st century. The Herald Sun Digital Edition: GOOD TO FORGET […]
The Best (and Worst) of People
Elections bring out the best (and worst) of people. Standing, waiting in line to vote you see.. The impatient voter, obviously with something very important they have to do next. Looking around, mumbling and grumbling to anyone that will listen (or not) The access voter who can’t wait in line with everyone else. The seat […]
McUnHappy Day
Don’t get me wrong, McHappy Day is a good thing but, flawed in its delivery. McHappy Day raises funds for the charity, which helps keep families together while their seriously ill child undergoes treatment. We (public) are digging deep but what is McDonald’s and it’s franchises contributing to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) ? We contribute […]
VicRoads + Government = $0
Well, here I go again… VicRoads + Government = money down the gurgler! Last week (August 2018), there were two major press releases regarding roads: Road and Road Safety Minister Luke Donnellan said ALL revenue from traffic cameras and on-the-spot speeding fines would be used to fix suburban and country roads, under a new state […]

I am lucky enough to have a fabulous man cave. It was fortuitous the space was suitable plus an understanding partner. The cave is situated on a lower level (basement) of our home in a warm comfortable area. Man Cave Priorities Space – seating, television, speakers, coffee table Furniture – seating (chair / couch), coffee table, […]
Making A-League special again
SOCCER is dying a slow death in Australia with memberships at an all-time low, falling spectators and general apathy from the Australian public. Its governing body is out of touch with what Australians want from a sport in 2018. Player antics.. faking injury, staging for frees, unacceptable behaviour where the players are seen as primadonna’s not […]
TigerTime: Best Day in 37 Years
As Toyota would say, oh what a feeling. Now, this post is not me gloating (although I’d love to Adrian), it’s about how it feels as a supporter of a premiership team. Damn good, real good, amazing is how it feels. I have been on an emotional high since Saturday 30th September 2017 at around […]
Drivers That Cannot Change Lanes
Here is an interesting driving observation that many drivers might not have noticed, until now. There are drivers out there that can only manage one lane (usually middle) and rarely change lanes, even when a car in front of them is in their way. There have always been drivers who only drive in the centre […]
Junners
I heard a beauty of radio this morning. Ross asks John, do you know what a JUNNER is? No Ross, what is a JUNNER? A JUNNER is urban slang for a person wearing JEANS with RUNNERS. Melbourne Dad* says: I don’t understand it. I’ve worn runners (trainers) with jeans for many year. Why? They are comfortable. […]
