Has anyone bought security doors lately? I’m interested in getting screen doors for the front and back so that I can catch some breezes without losing a toddler/gaining uninvited guests.
I’m thinking Crimsafe (or similar) for the front. Are they worth the extra money?
If anyone can recommend a local business that was a pleasure to [...]

Hi Rioters,

I love attending Tropfest in Canberra. It’s one of late summer’s best excuses to pull friends together, spread out the picnic blanket and watch 16 great short films. This year the films were all very entertaining and the perfect weather made for a great night. I think the event organisers do a good job [...]

Can anyone recommend a local band that would do a good job at a wedding? The wedding is in April and we need to start finding a band ASAP.
We want a group that plays anything from triple j to swing style numbers- ie, crowd pleasers- for young and old.

Does any one know if the tally room has a public viewing/bar area for the upcoming federal election?
If not, where should a group of adults go to ring in the new government?

All retailers selling the new Harry Potter book have all signed an agreement that they won’t open the boxes of “The Deathly Hallows” until 9am Saturday for the world wide release. There is a rumour in the book trade that the big guns might decide to open their boxes Friday to either get a jump [...]
