[ 22 June, 2013; 8:00 pm; ] Or is it City 2 Underground? Underground 2 City? 2 Underground City? I have no idea. What I do know is that it's a gig, happening at the Magpies City Club and if you don't have plans this Saturday you should prob...

The Canberra Times, and virtually every Australian newspaper, reported that crowd figures for ANZAC Day were up again. The CT were quick off the mark telling us that an estimated 27K went to the dawn service. How they came up with these figures I’ll never know but a figure of over 20K would no...
On Saturday 08-APR-06 we did the Civic Public Art Walking Tour and lived to tell the tale.
And so, I present to you item # 9, Fireline by Nola Farman. It’s in Civic Square

The ABC is reporting that the sensational lock-down of the Suburb of Rivett earlier this month was based on bullshit. Today, the girlfriend of 41-year-old Sammy Strano told the court she lied to police by telling them he had threatened her with a gun. Well she’s done a great disservice to ever...
Not really News...
Tom Woodward publicly maintains that he’s not trying to be a Bob Dylan tribute act. But sometimes you have to wonder if that’s just taking the piss. I mean really, what would Dylan do?
Tom’s latest album .32-20 Blues is, I suspect, an attempt to make a case that he merely shares in...
Watching the children of today huddling under their shade structures where once kids would roam free and unfettered has always depressed me. As does seeing them swaddled in those silly legionnaires hats. I’ve long wondered if the health benefits on the skin cancer front aren’t coming at ...
Did anyone see Gazza Humphries on the 7.30 Report on Monday. He’s certainly making a name for himself re. the ACT Government’s plans for gay marriage. It appeared on the program that the ABC played their normal dirty tricks and bias by interviewing the bearded one first and then running ...
The Canberra Times has taken some joy in noting that even though After he sacked Mrs Dunne in February, Mr Smyth said he was confident she would “prove herself” and be back in the shadow cabinet by April Vicki remains on the back bench and Brendan has no plans to bring her back. ...

Over on TSSH, former award winning Canberra blogger Caz has hung up her boots after a campaign of intimidation. Meanwhile, elsewhere on the internet, the smug self-congraultatory coterie of self-appointed “blog-elite” are lifting their champagne flutes. Not to be forgotten no end of wank...
