Aussies cite the surf as a major attraction but who wants to be a Great White’s mid-morning snack or the find themselves on the receiving end of a jellyfish that’ll turn your testicles in basketballs?
Sudoku. Better than life itself
This is not in any way fun. Do something else. Buy a Rubik’s Cube, phone someone up, get your fillings done, take up golf, get a goat. If you must, join chutney-making group, but for the holy love of God, do anything but play Sudoku.
Ed Miliband – really?
It really isn’t a good sign when you realise that the mere sound of Ed Miliband is enough to make you want to shit in your car.

Closer, Reveal, Star
A Closer ‘scoop’ is usually a picture of Jude Law with a piss stain on the front of his trackie bottoms.
Sean Hoare
Sean Hoare was a charming, memorable rogue and a lovable one. If nothing else, he started the ball rolling for me and I subsequently enjoyed a career in newspaper journalism. For that I am extremely grateful
The er… oh goodness
I started Googling and came across (yes, very funny) a couple of studies that undermine the claim that well, men from ethnic backgrounds have larger, y’know, equipment, than white blokes.
