Daredevil Driver

Okay, I’m starting to get a bit worried. The show starts in less than an hour, and my car really isn’t sounding great. You see, I’m a stunt driver. A famous one, actually. Perhaps you’ve heard of me: Darus ‘Courage’ Johnson. That’s right, I’m the Courage Johnson that your parents used to tell you about. …

Toowoomba, Innovation Station

As a local, I find this cafe…adequate. You see, Toowoomba is the centre of many great things; a hidden gem of Queensland. Did you know, for example, that coffee was invented in Toowoomba? Most people don’t believe me, but it is…a fact that I often repeat. Yes, a scientist accidentally crushed a coffee bean, thought it …

Plumber No More

I don’t know how I didn’t see it before. Plumbing, seriously? Nobody doubted my enthusiasm, sure, but even I couldn’t tell that I was terrible at it. I guess I let it go to my head far too much whenever I actually did something right. I’d fix a boiler or unblock some pipes, the people …

The Balustrade King

Ralph is THE worst. Usually the guys are fine, but Ralph is the actual, genuine worst – worse than all of the girls, except for Justine. I especially hate her, but that’s what happens when you ask me, in front of everyone, if I should be eating dim sims for lunch with a figure like …

My Faulty Cooling

Well, they finally made a good video game movie. And it wasn’t even based on a major video game; it was a spin-off from a major game, Pocket Monstrosities. I guess Defective Freak-a-Choo is set in the world, essentially a side story, so it counts. Still, basing a movie around a sentient mutant train, outcast …

Coffee, The Destroyer

I sure do love doing an entire day’s work and having it all get deleted. I backed it all up as well, but some intern down on the fourth floor deleted the entire server…somehow. Apparently there was a dramatic coffee spilling incident that wiped out all of our company’s memory and now all the footage …

Kitchen Bliss

I might not be raking it in, but having a beautiful kitchen makes me feel like I’m rolling in riches. Seriously, it’s a thing. For some people, it might be having a mammoth tub in the bathroom, a bedroom with walk-in wardrobe or an outdoor entertaining area. As for me, I’m all about an accessible …

Mum Mods

I’m not sure if Cassandra really understands what she’s doing. It’s all well and good to work at bringing motherhood into the public sphere, and I unequivocally support that aspect of what she’s trying to do. What I’m not as sure about is the risk of creating a culture where new mothers are expected to …

Suddenly, Skill Gates

Okay, when we said they needed to patch the electrician class, we didn’t mean like that. At first it was super easy to become an electrician, but now it’s become stupendously difficult, and no one is picking the class anymore. If no one is picking the class, that means that there are fewer people to …

Surprise Plants

My friend Billy often comes over with random plants that he’s managed to cultivate in excess, and I proceed to make vague attempts at keeping them alive before accidentally killing them off. Billy then brings around more plants to replace them. Clearly, it’s a vicious cycle. The main problem is that Billy misguidedly believes me …
