Communist, philosophy-interested, Anglican, Manx speaker....the usual (if you're me)
Sydney's Tiger Pocha has terrific hotpots and loads of fun lairy tiger neon signs, also staff who whisper to each other on those Secret Service earpiece things
Donate to fund our fearless speaking truth to power journalism....also this sort of scoldy clickbait
Bought this because I heard about the author being unable to talk at a writer's festival. So far it's badly written self-aggrandizing corporate waffle, but it's early days
There's a 70s Dr Who in which the Doctor proves that human creativity is awesome by getting two rasta-disco robots to play RPS. The robots stalemate on rock every time (No, it doesn't make any sense, but it was cool at the time)
I'm sTill on my Gen V kick. One character took time off from being an annoying self-absorbed college kid to have an evil psychic coma
I'm glad they found someone to take over from Ncuti Gatwa, but not sure about Doctor Who's latest new direction
I think I've found a political party based on toxic positivity. I had a boss like this once, always tut-tutting at people for being too negative, right into promise walls and journalling, not so into workers having a say in how their work was run
Yet more proof, if any were needed, that I should leave graphics to people who can do graphics
I have crossed into the Old Person's Dimension * and may never return. *the upstairs cafe and newsagency at Piedimonte's supermarket. They sell pinatas here too

#PinkFloyd fact #26 Roger Waters was so angry that the rest of the band planned to carry on without him after he left that he started a rival band called 'Pinkk Floydd' consisting only of him, Tilda Swinton and a roomful of session musicians. The project failed when they argued over spelling.

Quote with a great self-titled album that isn't by The Beatles or Metallica
Oh well then, I guess this guy will throw in the towel and never work another day on his business
Today is Sitting in a hipster cafe in Sydney drinking water out of what looks like a small flowerpot Day, cheers to all who celebrate
I have a meandering The Teardrop Explodes song stuck in my head and it's very annoying. I won 'Wilder' in a contest from 3PBS and played it a lot back in the day. Looked it up recently on youtube and had a listen, now I'm stuck with this one.
Things about Kylie don't have to be said, printed or read. Just tell your mates and find something actually interesting for your regular column eh
