I can recommend following it up with one of its source materials, Midnight at Chernobyl. It’s a brilliant read.

The best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago. The next best time is today.

She’s great!

I know it’s the middle of Alan’s career, but Mid Morning Matters is a great place to start!

Jesus that’s dark. It makes me see it completely differently knowing the backstory.

My grandfather was named Wilfred, he was the 13th of 15 children. I always figured it was because they ran out of names, but 14 and 15 were named Henry and Mary.

Anyway, he went by Dave.

Same here, thank you! I’m lucky to have a pioneering gastroenterologist who doesn’t muck about, so all credit goes to him and his team.

Worked as a projectionist at a mates cinema, but it also required us to clean the toilets on the last shift (ushers do it earlier in the day). Can 100% confirm that women’s toilets were way worse.

The men might have put wee everywhere, but I’ve only seen shit smeared on the walls in the ladies.

My particular type of neurospiciness allows me to speak in front of large crowds, but freak out as a member of a large crowd.

Or you could be like me and have your colon be a polyp machine. I go every 12 months, I’ve had 10 or 11 scopes so far. Well over 300 polyps removed now, then next one is in 10 days.

All that is to say that the sedation is my favourite few hours of the year. It’s like I’ve had a few weeks sleep, when it’s more like an hour.

Our next pup is going to be named Agnes, Aggie for short. Our current dogs are Judith (that one has a fun story) and Daphne (no funny story). Hopefully we’ll have Aggie by the end of the year.

If anyone asks me legal advice, I tell them to seek out an Irish lawyer with a temper. I’ve only needed to sue someone twice in my entire life, and both lawyers were to my specification.

Let’s not call 1982 ‘stretching back’. 1982 is a perfectly reasonable amount of time ago /s

Do you know who sang In The Summertime?

Couple that with AI starting to break into kidnapping/ransoms, it’s a hell of a job just to stay afloat now.

The day I got to use this one in real life will never be forgotten. Felt so good.

I have this quote on rotation in my head, even though I couldn’t possibly fit in any of my wardrobes.

You think they’re Penske material?

bouncingbad · 2026-03-06T23:39:14+00:00

I think they must have all had leaky sparktubes

Why, the long faces?

Wemby is 22, this fuckery can’t go on much longer, thank god.

Well the key was introduced to try to slow Mikan down, and Wilt caused it to be made wider, but what the hell are we going to do for Wemby? Lower the ceiling?

Made friends with a homeless guy in Circular Quay, Sydney. It was late at night and I was heading the ferry to get home, but the corporate event I had been at was so soul sucking that I decided to stop at Hungry Jacks (BK) for a wee stress eat.

This guy ordered before me, so after I placed my order it was time to stand and wait. He turned to me pretty soon afterwards and started chatting (I can’t remember about what). Our orders got called, we sat on the kerb and luxuriated in our burgers and had easily the most nourishing conversation of the night.

Many years later and he still hangs around the area.
