The main difference between a canary down a coal mine and a freelance cartoonist in an economic recession tends to be that people feel a bit sorry for the canary, so it looks like 2009’s going to be a hoot, but mustn’t grumble, and would you like fries with that? (just practicing).

So eat drink and be merry because tomorrow we don’t have to get up for work and have the whole day to sleep it off.

Hmm, this is turning out to be not all that cheerful. I’m sure everything will be lovely.

Happy New Year from me.

Satire class on Wednesday at Fullers

Posted on

I’m taking a class in satire as part of Living Writers’ Week at Fullers. Wednesday August 20th, 9.00am in Fullers Afterword Cafe – $35.00 includes a light breakfast.

Email Adam at Fullers or phone 62242488 to book a place, it’s kind of a small cafe, so do it now to avoid disappointment. Hey, you might learn something. I might learn something. Either way, the Afterword Cafe makes a damn fine coffee, so it won’t be a total loss.

Don’t forget to pack your smalls

alexander off to cyprus

Sure, there was the toffy accent, the toffy head, the toffy mannerisms, the Things That Batter, AWB, Iraq, the fact that he was in every respect a more hilarious leader of the Opposition than Brendan could ever hope to be, but first and last, the thing that summed up Lexy was the fishnet stockings.
