King Kyle and the festival of schadenfreude

A Day in the Life No Comments »

The most interesting aspect of Kyle-gate hasn’t been his lack of any real contrition, the mysterious whereabouts of his co-host Jackie O or the lie detector stunt at the centre of it all.

A Day in the Life No Comments »

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.

A massive 40% of marriages end in divorce. Is this why more societies in world history have been polygamous than monogamous?

We live in a youth obsessed culture.  Death, illness and spirituality have become less and less a part of our lives as we’ve lived longer and rejected religion.  So what would you do if you knew you were going to die in just a few weeks?  Tonight on Dare I Ask? we ask a terminally ill teen, a campaigning Pastor and a man who talks death every day what they would do.  Tune on TVS (Channel 31) at 9.30pm or watch live here on the net.

A nation of narks

A Day in the Life No Comments »

It was only when my friend got in trouble for leaving her jumper on the grass in the botanic gardens during a short jog this week that it dawned on me we have become a nation of narks. It wasn’t the first run in me or my mates have had with the legions of hired goons that seem to have popped up in our harbour city, forever poised to crush any conceivable piece of spontaneity as soon as it raises its dangerous head.

New Belvoir play triumphs

A Day in the Life No Comments »

Perhaps Ruben Guthrie, the protagonist in the Belvoir St Theatre company’s latest play should have listened to the Sex Pistols when they sang “You’re only 29, you gotta lot to learn”. The successful ad man is at the top of his game – he’s creative director at a big ad agency with a 19-year-old model girlfriend and a swag of industry awards – but it’s all about to all unravel for one simple reason. He’s addicted to booze.  Click HERE to read on.
