A peek inside my Christmas bookbox. Every year I take a box of books that I have read to our family gathering and let people choose what they want. This is what it have put together so far. #booksky #regifting

I don't usually do Halloween, but my niece wanted to see Eraserhead on the big screen, so we headed to our local cinema to take a peek inside David Lynch's head. In 70 years of film viewing, I have never seen anything as weird as #Eraserhead! #filmsky #DavidLynch

Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency and justice.

I don't want trains without staff. I don't want to order food only through an app! I don't want supermarkets without cashiers! No matter how convenient AI may seem, I don't want a life without human connection!

TACO’s big beautiful parade was a massive flop. I can’t believe they didn’t even have the intelligence to pack the seats directly opposite him. As we Aussies like to say, “He couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery.”
