Melbourne and much of Victoria is currently cleaning up after a series of massive rainstorms yesterday afternoon/evening. I personally got “heavily saturated” on a couple of occasions heading home from the office – including an entertaining train ride!
Melbourne Mops Up After Massive Storm
It never ceases to [...]
Connex – the recently replaced operator of Melbourne’s suburban rail network – had a reputation in its final years for excessive numbers of late and cancelled services. Ever wondered why?
Well, now you know!
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s hilarious video of a Macquarie worker being sprung looking at porn on the job in the background of a live news cross, comes an even more hilarious advertising hook by rival HSBC.

I got a real laugh out of [...]
Everyone remembers the “giant seagull” which “attacked” Peter Hitchener at the beginning of a recent Nine News Melbourne bulletin. It went viral almost immediately.
