The hundreds of helicopters I’d flown in for CHOGM began to draw together until they formed a collective meta-CHOGM…and in my mind it was the most vibrant thing going; headline-deadline, print-broadcast, right wing-greenie, nimble, fluent, canny and human; hot sucked … Continue reading

Outrage Sunday 23 the ultimate

Cottesloe, and the apogee of Western civilisation thanks to the resources boom. Optional apostrophe-abusing wok burner $7500. In Claremont they put Nollamara on a pedestal. In Guildford they’re concerned with bigger things. Also in Guildford they’re getting a bit spooky: … Continue reading

Outrage Sunday 19 Truthers Redux

Outrage Sunday Legs 11

I got a bit sulky when Krazy Kym wouldn’t let me buy this water slide. It was even on special for $299. Judging by the photos it enables you to float in the air. Magic. Probably just as well: the … Continue reading
