This is un-Australian.

Watching Live Aid. The 1980s saw a paradigm shift in rock music. Artists now spent more time before a gig getting their hair styled than getting stuck into the rider. #LiveAid40

They have their coffees, but they're having such a great chat they couldn't possibly move away from the counter.

We will, Pete. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

When you get to the concert and you realise you're right behind the sound desk 👍👍👍

40 years ago today Ayrton Senna won his first F1 GP in Estoril. The rain pissed down from go to whoa but Senna still drove with his foot down & lapped every driver but Michele Alboreto. I watched it at my mate's place late on Sunday night & couldn't get to sleep. Two hours of driving perfection.

Vengeance is also polite.

Dutton knew exactly what he was doing. He doesn't have the character for the top job. A loathsome piece of goods.

Last night I checked the date when 617 Squadron bombed the railway yard at Gare du Nord. Google AI told me that on 19 April 1944 they bombed the Lützow in Heligoland. Nope - 1945. I tried again this morning: result below. The Dam Busters raid happened May 1943. Takeaway: don't trust Google AI.

Mahler 3 tonight at Sydney Opera House with Simone Young and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra 😃 The last movement the best I've ever heard it played, unwinding slowly and movingly, like one of the late Beethoven quartets or piano sonatas. Very moving to hear music so alive.

Summer in Sydney. Where it's not just the wildlife that wants to kill you.

Me after conversion therapy.

On a hobby horse here, but this stuff only works if you're eating the crumbs in a spoonful of tea. Follow the instructions!

How your email finds me.

This is even funnier when you read it out loud.
