Herald Sun Too Weak To Admit Screw Up

Much hilarity ensued tonight when the Herald Sun apparently “inadvertently” revealed the winner of the Gold Logie award. At 11:40pm, they released a statement: Technical Glitch Reveals Winner “At no time did the Herald Sun publish the name of the winner on its website, iPad app or in Twitter.” Oh really?

Woolworths Meat Fail

I stumbled across this packet of “Australian Beef Spare Ribs” at Woolworths last night – (click image for larger view): Looks like t-bone steak to me – no? Oops.

Future News!

Dandenong Road Just Got A Lot Longer

When Your Music Really Blows!

I was wandering around Bunnings this afternoon, after finding a price on a new mixer tap to replace a seriously stuffed tap in our kitchen, when I happened upon this little gem of tackiness: A tower fan. With an “MP3 Input” – more likely, just a 3.5mm audio input jack. And speakers. And a clock. [...]
