So Lara left the keys to her Aston Martin in her Range Rover – something, let’s face it, that could happen to any of us. Unfortunately some local Bondi kids used them to go for a joy ride… And Ruby lost her dog… these are the big issues if you are a gossip columnist. But should it matter to us? And does it matter if it does? I spoke to Luke Bona over at 2GB to get to the bottom of it. Listen here.

A couple of weeks ago I started chatting to ABC Alice Springs Mornings presenter Alice Brennan. I’m meant to do a weekly wrap up of politics, but usually end up running down tangents to make her laugh. So if you’re in The Alice on a Wednesday morning at 9.40am tune into 783 AM…
Well nothing. Expect they were both mentioned in my weekly entertainment report on 2GB. But don’t worry about that.

On my team, all decked out in academic dress, was Rob Carlton of Chandon Pictures fame and Adam Spencer the alchemist behind many an ABC radio and TV show. The Usyd students however were the stand outs, funny, smart and gracious… as tradition says the Alumni must win… a great day.
What kind of scumbag rorts a disabled parking scheme? What kind of bastard connives to get themselves a visitors parking permit even though they don’t qualify for it?

Whinging hardcore fans of cooking show MasterChef almost drowned out the massive success of the show’s finale. And what they should do is simply. Shut their cake holes. Read on by clicking here.
What do you get when you put right wing rabble rouser Tim Blair, eternally cynical shit stirrer Joe Hilderbrand, deep thinking lefty Miriam Lyons and ABC stalwart Miriam Corowa in a studio together?

But don’t worry you haven’t missed it – it’s on tonight at 9.30pm on TVS Sydney (Channel 31)… and you can even watch it online at the same time HERE.
Why does my poo float? Why do black people smell? Why does my cat lick me? Why do white people love Wayne Brady? These are some of the most asked questions in the world according to Google’s latest feature – ‘Google Suggest’ – which pre-empts what you might be about to type into the search engine and suggests shortcuts to it.
