The Dirge is going to thrash the other competition on Next Top Office. He – that is to say, the one writing this blog post – has such a huge advantage that he probably shouldn’t even be on the show. And now that Space Wizard has been liquified, his biggest rival is the Glass Smashing …
I’m the owner of a wedding car company in Melbourne. Having successfully run this business for over twenty years, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience some of the happiest moments of hundreds of people’s lives. I think in twenty years, I can count on one hand the amount of times anything has gone wrong. Unfortunately, …
It’s happened again! Another bestseller slipping through my fingers, falling to another agent that has snatched it up and sold it for thousands of dollars at auction. Why do you do this to yourself, Janet? You should have known better. Obviously the public wants to read about mechanics who at the very end of the …
It takes more energy than you might think to produce 50 floor-length gowns covered in gold beads sewn on by hand. Okay, sure, it actually sounds like quite a lot of energy, when I put it like that. But even so, there’s more to it than you’re probably picturing, and I’m not just talking about …
These accursed moon shoes! I swear, these shoes simply must be from the moon, made for the moon-folk that live there. It’s the only possible way they’d fit anyone’s feet.

The acoustics of the boardroom are not up to scratch – according to Kerryn and Kevin, that is. Those two are always finding something new to complain about, but this is some next level nitpicking. In fairness, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, because it means things get upgraded and improved more than they would …
The term ‘renovator’s dream’ might have been used to death, but maybe it’s due for an unpacking to determine what it really means. The question is, what would be the dream scenario for your average renovator? Would it be an opportunity to really go to town with renovations, updating pretty much everything except the basic …
Something I really took for granted as a kid was all the luxuries my parents’ home had. When I was young I thought that everyone had appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, but I was wrong. We were very lucky to have these things, especially in the area that I grew up. I only realised …
I’m fine with having chats about subjects outside my usual areas of interest or expertise, but there is a limit. It becomes an issue when someone keeps bringing such a topic up again and again, to the exclusion of all other topics. This is what Deborah at the shop has been doing lately, day in …
