I don't hate anybody, we have the various religions for that.

Jerky anyone?

By 30 December, 2012

I did try to search for “jerky” at T-Ra, but maybe not surprisingly I came up with TV reception, taxi’s and a popular drinking dive for the toff’s around Kingston.
What I’d love to know about is decent places to buy beef jerky?
The “old” Civic shopping centre used to have a butcher near the Supabarn that had good [...]

A bit cheaper for the Rugby?

By 22 May, 2012

As much as I love the Brums, shift work is a cruel task master…but finally a weekend off!  
The Reds match should be a cracker, but oh the prices with the extra ticketek charge & their handling fee!  
Do any of the clubs around the ACT do discounted rates for tix as I’ve seen the [...]

Recycling “e-waste”?

By 1 August, 2009

Yes, I balk at the cost of getting rid of computer equipment in this town – I don’t mind admitting that at all.
But I am also a bit perplexed why it is proving difficult to find someone who will take my old tower and monitor gratis, with the expectation they can get the [...]

Great win by the Brumbies

By 4 March, 2008

Loved it.

Tuggeranong people not allowed a good feed?

By 13 January, 2008

The boss and I were thinking about getting a nice eat at home feed. We packed the kids off to bed, and went to our collection of local fliers hoping for something different besides chinese or pizza.
bzzzt, wrong.
A local restaurant near the Lanyon shops without being inthem (is that vague enough?) sent us a [...]

Jim Middleton moves to Mexi…Melbourne

By 1 December, 2007

Okay, it won’t attract the attention that the retirement of Golden Wallet John Laws will, but Jim Middleton is moving south. He has been a fairly unbiased and solid reporter for a long time. It was also heartening to hear his very pro-ACT comments on “Stateline” tonight.
I think it’s a shame to see [...]

Winter Wonderland a dud!

By 16 July, 2007

Packed up the wife and kids for what we thought would be a fun morning at the winter wonderland. Of course it was freezing…which we expected that…but why? There was nothing worth keeping cold! The “snow” part of WW consisted of a pathetic little dribble that spurted out of the roof near [...]
