Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Families stick together. And stick up for their own. David Fowler’s dad sends me emails under false names arking up on behalf of his son. Good on him too. My daughter stands up for her dad too. Solidarity. She says the Bantam can go and kiss her ass. He won’t of course. She and her […]
I am the worst angler in the world, bar none. For forty years I have been trying to catch a fish, and for four decades I have failed spectacularly. My first big crack at the age of 18 was at Kurnell in Botany Bay, right on the spot of the birthplace of white Australia where […]
Greetings Rev. Archibald Jeebung Butterfly, Here’s a milestone worth celebrating: it’s now been 4 years since you officially became an ordained minister! We opened this message talking about milestones, and we use that term for a reason. A milestone marks an important point on a larger journey, not the conclusion of a journey. Similarly, the […]
I was looking through boxes of old family photos and documents yesterday trying to find my ancestors war records for an ANZAC day story when I came across the records you see above and below. My grandmother’s CIA clearance. WTF? I always knew the old girl who taught me how to love the punt was […]
Dostoevsky (pictured above) wrote Crime and Punishment, and Demons too. It’s all just Russian to me. Every gambler knows That the secret to surviving Is knowing what to throw away And knowing what to keep ‘Cause every hand’s a winner And every hand’s a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to […]
I have no agenda for or against anyone. No-one pays me to do their bidding, and I get no sponsorships, advertising or slings. All I do is call it as I see it, and that is what free speech is supposed to be all about. The Australian Uniform Defamation Laws aren’t. They are about the […]

Here are winners and their starting prices. $7.00 Fire Raiser $4.20 Captains Mistress $2.10 Rubira $1.50 Vincent Van Gogh $2.50 Our Goat $2.50 Zoom Party If you […]
Last week Archie tipped 6 winners from 9 races at Albion Park to beat Keith who only got 5. This week we move to the triangle at Redcliffe. It could be Keith’s Bermuda. May the best man win! (Editor’s note – Neither Keith nor I have a body like Dr Georgia Whiting’s. Therefore all form […]
G’day sportsfans! I’m back. Well sort of, anyway. The court case is finished, and although it will be 4 weeks or so until we get a result, we’re already a winner. Everyone who goes to the Albion Park dogs on a Thursday night is. Maybe not quite as much of a winner as me last […]
We’ve had to decline PVL’s very generous offer of VIP tickets to the Everest this year, and we won’t be jumping the car park fence to get into Caulfield for the Cup like we used to back in the day. I’m just too busy to be making the big trek south, for the barra are […]
