I can’t believe it’s been around five months since I last blogged. I take the lack of comment about this as an indicator of how many people read this blog Christmas this year was awesome, with T and I putting up our hands to do the traditional family lunch this year. As same as last [...]
Has anyone else seen the ad for the next episode of Beauty And The Geek? The episode where the geeks have to do stand-up? Well, that orange joke – it’s not original! My brother and I have been using that joke since we were in primary school!! Kinda creepy, really … how did it get [...]
