Sometimes I just need to rant. Be afraid, you are my captive audience.
Right, it’s time for my first proper rant of the year. A double rant, in fact. Part one of this rant is directed at Daniel Craig. Yes, he looks good in a pair of Speedos and doesn’t make a bad James Bond, but that’s not what I’m complaining about. It’s the whole The Girl With […]

What is it with all these pop tartlets feeling the need to flash their bits about the place? Can’t they get by on talent? After all the usual dramas in the past with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears etc being photographed out on the town without their undies on, and all the sex tapes from Paris
This nasty old recession is making things tough for everyone out there, even our drug-addled citizens. A story on the Dominion Post website today says prices for methamphetamine are on the rise but the product is in short supply and lacking potency.
