• Food for thought

  PJ, a personal trainer in Brunswick has decided to stack on 40kg (on his current 80kg) and maintain that weight for 3 months, then lose it through diet and exercise at the gym with his clients, so that he can understand what they are going through. Interesting idea.

  Look, even in these tough economics times we can still find the time to be contemptuous of women and their frivolous pursuits

• A women’s safe house in Ngukurr and feelings of inadequacy

  By Guest Poster on 2009-02-05 • ( 5 )

  It looks like a move towards safety for women and children in NT…But while domestic violence is increasing, its refuges for women and children receive about one-third of the average funding for other similar services in NSW, the Orana Far West Women’s Safe Houses Project report says….So, particularly with regard to violence, the intervention and safe houses, what am I missing here and what would you like to add?

  but in some ways we Aussies are fortunate in our public opiners, despite the regularly boggling bloviations of Bolt, Blair, Devine, Albrechtsen et al: at least

• T-Shirt Hell going. At last.

  By lauredhel on 2009-02-01 • ( 26 )

  Richie talks about the flounce demise of T-Shirt Hell here – “Jonathan Swift is not amused” – and highlights some of the more violent, hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic designs. To add extra sprinkles to his tantrum, the owner offers a final hyuck-hyuck about his next venture perhaps being a “hooker farm”. OMG HYLARIOUS SEX SLAVERY.
