Little Johnny went to Washington for a pep talk today. Seems he got in George's ear about how that pesky bully, Mark Latham, was planning to withdraw Australia's military commitment to Iraq. Big Brother George got out his War-On-Terror (tm) Thesaurus/Speech guide and let Marky Mark know about it. On... • more

Eurofission

We sat down for our annual feast of European songs last night on SBS with the Eurovision song contest. Unfortunately, we missed the first hour, which included the lion's share of the performances. We got to see from the Belgians onwards, which suited PJ just fine, as she was born... • more

May 2004 clogs the Sydney social calendar

by The Swanker | 30 Apr, 2004 at 04:42 PM | comments (5) | trackback (0)

It occurs to the self-confessed Sydney Wanker that I haven't written much on Sydney lately, and when I have, it has tended towards the negative. But that's about to change! A look through various media publications and brochures scattered near bookshop and cafe entrances reveals the upcoming month of May... • more

Salam Pax at the Sydney Writers' Festival

I'm rather glad I dragged my sorry, sickly self out yesterday to the over-renovated wharve houses of Walsh Bay to listen to a one-hour Q & A with Salam Pax. His notoriety as the most famed blogger from Iraq preceded him, as it was strictly standing room only in Sydney... • more

I�ve been sponsoring this poor kid for three years. You know the deal, one of those Worldvision-type arrangements where your monthly donation goes towards feeding some Third-World bub, buying their schoolbooks or such like.
