Where I come from, wine that comes in a foil bag is only for drunken teens, the homeless and pensioners. It’s also known as ‘goon’. Said goon can also be used in a game named ‘Goon of Fortune’ involving a Hills Hoist clothes line and impaired balance. In the interest of not being dubbed an [...]

What do you get someone who lives in an all-white house that resembles the scene where Mike Teevee is shrunk to ant-size in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?

Shortlisted in the ‘Dining in 2015 ‘ competition, his interpretation of modern flatware as garden implements is a witty reference to [...]

My immediate reaction would be Dan from Roseanne, however, there was an episode on ABC around lunchtime today where he shaved both of his armpits. My ideal of masculinity has been dashed! I digress.
