As 2020 comes to a close, I suspect for a lot of us, it’s an opportunity to search for positives in what’s been a fucking dumpster fire of a year. It’ll be easy to get caught up in the social proof that 2020 was a complete write-off, and for you, it may well have been. [...]
Telling stories is never as much fun when people can’t laugh at all the shit that goes wrong, and after a few days of amazing craziness and plenty of things going a bit tits up as has been known to happen on my adventures, our final day, which is the one after the one that [...]
Ok, so every now and then I duck on to ABC Adelaide radio with Ali at about 6:35am on a Thursday for a segment called 'Three Things'. It's where we talk about, weirdly enough, three things I think are worth checking out or reading or watching or doing. You get the idea. Sometimes I pitch [...]
What the fuck are you doing clicking here? If you need actual information, don't fucking look at me. What the fuck would I know? Go to the government website or something. And if you don't need actual information about how to stay at fucking home, which let's be honest is basically the least complicated thing [...]
We’re now two days into our four day tour which means there’s three days to go and that makes absolutely no sense and neither does anything else that’s about to happen. By now the only ‘shower’ I’ve had is the snorkel in the ocean the day before but I’m about to get a very comprehensive [...]

So I get a call late on Friday - do I want to go shoot some stuff somewhere? We leave Monday. There's no way I can do it with existing work commitments but then someone mentions birds and hello, what time do we leave? I'm in. Even though I have very little idea what I'm [...]
After my last few races I've done little race reports to keep you mildly entertained and give you some insights into the wonderful world of running, and when I decided to do the 6hr Uni Loop event yesterday I figured it would be another good opportunity to do that, but as usual, I was pretty [...]
Most people plan or prepare or possibly even train for their marathons or half marathons and it’s fair to say this is a pretty fucking excellent idea. So when I signed up for today's Adelaide Half Marathon at 3pm yesterday, it’s fair to say this was not an excellent idea. But I sort of wanted [...]
Fuck I hate hypocrites. Even if I'm one myself at times. Meh, it happens. I tell people to be kind, but also tell people to fuck off. Hey, we all have our moments. And sometimes, compared to what I'd really like to say, a run of the mill 'fuck off' is me being kind. [...]
