Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
All hell has broken out at the Launceston trots tonight. It is Sunday the 19th of March. The ABC have sent a film crew to the Launceston trots. They are after Ben Yole, for employment relations and animal welfare breaches. He is good for all of them too. Yole is panicking. He has directed his […]
It’s been about seven weeks since Bon-Bon wrote his last masterpiece, and gee we’ve missed him. Just like Tim Tzsyu missed Tony Harrison yesterday. Richard Branson didn’t say if you ‘reach higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you ever dreamed’, as out man Jason claims. What he said was that if you […]
