Five Examples of Why You Should Complain to Companies About Bad Products

June 18, 2009

Update: I recently appeared on Channel 7′s The Morning Show to talk about this post. Watch me embarrass myself! You like free stuff, right? Then next time something goes wrong with something you’ve bought from the supermarket, I demand you let the manufacturer know. After a recent messy packaging explosion, I was so irked by [...]

Why I Suspect ATM Actually Stands for Artistic Taste Moderator

June 15, 2009

Despite my childhood fear of the Village logo as mentioned in my last post, Adam and I overcame adversity and saw The Hangover at our local Village cinema this weekend. Buying cinema tickets online has always seemed like a no-brainer to me, mostly because you can choose your own seat when the cinema has allocated [...]

IMAXimum Disappointment

June 1, 2009

In recent months, Hoyts cinemas have been retrofitting selected cinemas into what they’re advertising as large-scale IMAX cinemas. Around the time Watchmen was released, my mates and I figured those famous blue appendage scenes would be best propelled into our faces via IMAX, so off we drove. We were expecting a cinema screen of the [...]

May 27, 2009

There are many lessons to be learnt from our nation’s blunderings through TV game shows. For every Sale of the Century and It’s a Knockout, there’s still fecal dregs like Keynotes and The Up Late Game Show With Hotdogs lurking under the televisual toilet bowl rim. So, onwards!

Australia’s Next Top Lesbian, Mortal Kleaning, and Other Unrealised Game Ideas

May 14, 2009

What ho! This past week I’ve had a visiting interstate friend to entertain. My buddy was a fine house guest, and even spent the better part of 30 minutes running after a rogue mouse we’ve been trying to entrap for weeks. Any boarder who arrives with rodent eradication skills is welcome in Chez Jeb! Any [...]

I’m a Pants Man

December 29, 2008

After taking a week off work for Christmas, I had an odd experience travelling to work today. You see, I couldn’t quite work out why I was getting such odd looks on the tram. A really odd mix of disturbed and amused looks. I shrugged it off, I look odd at the best of times. [...]

Lite and Easy to Shame

December 1, 2008

This will no doubt see me suffering some mockery in comments, but Adam and I started Lite & Easy the other week. We’ve done it before, and it helped us lose the weight we wanted pretty quickly. Yes, it’s a little bit lazy; and yes, the food isn’t exactly gourmet (although it’s not that bad) [...]

There’s Always One Satanic Bad Egg

November 24, 2008

It’s with great trepidation that I write any blog entry revolving around the word “egg”. Inevitably, Adam will peer over my shoulder and then we’ll be egg-converting words all evening to, frankly, what results in very little hilarity. It’s an egg-scruitating egg-sercise in seeing who can egg-ceed the other’s ability to egg up the most [...]

Bosnia, NSW, 2000

January 22, 2006

This is one of those life-lesson factlets you expect to pick up along the way, but this continues to allude me: how the hell are you supposed to wash a strainer? You dip it in the water… all the crap stuck to it is hard to get out between the mesh. And it’s too hard [...]

I’m Way Too Pissed Off To Update Properly

January 16, 2006

The grand demolition of our front yard has begun. I’ll try and take some photos shortly – the whole living-in-a-fishbowl factor is proving worse than I thought. Builders suddenly materialised in our front yard halfway through Adam and I almost getting it on. Worse still, I can’t slyly pick boogers from my nose without fear [...]
