There’s only one in that list that I’d eat right now if it was to be put in front of me. No, it’s not the … Continue reading
I’m a Honda Civic Sport driver, so it doesn’t affect me, but if you’ve splurged on a BMW 5 or 6 series, then you might want to think about getting it checked out. The German carmaker has issued a recall of all BMW and 6 series cars, made between 2003 and 2010. The recall is … Continue reading

You know, that small train in the sky that circles the western part of Sydney’s CBD and Darling Harbour stopping at hotspot tourist destinations like, um, World Square.

I must admit, I was a bit of a nerd growing up. One of the things I loved doing was pulling out my Atlas to check out the world, (Did you know the capital of Guatemala is Guatemala City?) and I would pick one of the volumes of my World Book Encyclopaedia and randomly open … Continue reading

As Australians ponder a slowly rising unemployment rate, spare a thought for the Greeks. Late tonight, the Hellenic Statistical Authority, Greece’s equivalent to the Bureau of Statistics, revealed data showing the country’s unemployment rate rose to a record 21.0% in December. That’s up from 20.9% in November, and from 14.8% in December 2010. More than … Continue reading
I’m a regular user of Sydney’s Bourke Street cycle path that stretches from Redfern to Woolloomooloo. In my opinion, it’s added to the uniqueness of what I think is Sydney’s most beautiful street. Granted, I never really jumped onto a bike until I moved close the path, but once I did, it really has changed … Continue reading
