I have been boxing for quite a while now. In the beginning, it was such a huge thrill, throwing punch after brutal punch at my opponent. I even enjoyed getting knocked down (and getting back up again), going home sore all over, trying to learn from my mistakes. If I’m being honest, though, I don’t …
Feet are already ugly but they can be made more ugly when you grow a bunion. I’ve noticed this is something that women tend to develop with age but I started growing one prematurely on my right foot. I noticed this about four years ago when I had dropped something heavy on my big toe. …
“What could go wrong?” These were the last words written on the blog of an internationally famous madman, Sam Samson. Mr Samson gained fame when he infamously combined two boats together, creating the world’s first “Superboat”. If only it had stopped there. According to Mr Samson’s blog, he had the idea to add a third …

I think proper camping is for losers. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sights of nature, building a fire and roasting marshmallow, fishing, looking up at the stars, away from the lights of the city. It’s magical. It’s tents, however, that I’m not a fan of. You couldn’t pay me to sleep on a …
When you think of Canberra, what springs to mind? Apparently, one of the most common answers is hot air balloons. Now that I’ve said it, you can’t unthink it, can you? You’re welcome. Enjoy forever associating Canberra with hot air balloons – hey, it beats politics, right? But balloons aren’t the only kind of hot …
People in Melbourne are bad at winter. There, I said it. I realise that this statement will be somewhat controversial, given the pride that the locals seem to take in their capacity to withstand all weathers.

My mate Darren recently confided in me something that I found a bit surprising. Basically, he’s experiencing a whole bunch of stress around suddenly finding himself a homeowner.
