About Sputnik

Sputnik News: Attacked by a Toasty and Nut Bag Nazis

You know shit’s fucked up when a guy with tattoos of I’m not even sure what on his face, and nor will I be asking, decides to sue someone. Mr Teamo which is a bit like Ti Amo but also probably not, is suining the people who run the prison he’s in because he got [...]

The Great Southern Half was actually pretty… great.

The only thing worse than no-one reading the shit you write, is finally writing something quite a few people read, and then having to write something after that, knowing it’s gonna be a steaming pile of shit by comparison. Although you’ll have to wait way too many words to see the actual steaming pile of [...]

The Kangaroo Fucking Island Marathon

So the day before I head over to Kangaroo Island for the Marathon, I managed to drop my wallet in the supermarket, double back, and by some miracle of human nature, someone’s handed it in. I don’t take this as a sign not to go or that the marathon is going to go tits up. [...]

The McLaren Vale Marathon Miracle

I can be a bit dramatic at times, so if you're wondering why I can be sooking about having a fucked up ankle one minute, then running a marathon the next, it'd be a fair question. The 100% honest truth is I DO have a fucked up ankle - ligament damage, joint damage, fracture etc. [...]

What’s with all the fucking bird pictures?

What? Me a twitcher? Didn’t see that coming? That’s OK, neither did I. Much like people don't see me coming now my idea of high fashion is dressing like a shrub. And like most things I’ve done in my life, there was no real plan it just sort of… happened. One day you’re a perfectly [...]

How to be a better person.

Want to know how to be a better person? It's actually pretty simple: Shut the fuck up. Seriously. Sometimes being a better human is as simple as shutting the fuck up about stuff you know nothing about. Or even stuff you don't know enough about. Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean it's any [...]

Elusive sea eagles, platypus insects, shit brown birds and a guy called ‘Jeff’.

Decided to sneak in a bit of a bird nerd yesterday in between work stuff. So did a meeting in the morning then headed out north. There'd been a reported sighting of a White Bellied Sea Eagle so went chasing wild gooses. Went to a part of the International Bird Sanctuary, and if ever you [...]
