Beam me up Scotty, NOW!!

We had our youngest over for dinner last week and we were talking about the autism in the family. She said, “you mask yours really well, dad. Most of our friends wouldn’t know.” Ouch. I guess it’s easier for me to talk about my children and grandchildren’s autism than it is to talk about mine.

Here’s something weird, I downloaded and installed the new IOS for iPhone and it ate my podcast app. I’ve searched my app library and it’s not there. I’ve visited the App Store and it says to open it but nothing happens. Anyone had a similar experience?

Me and my mate Marshall, listening to some tunes.

I've been a James Bond fan most of my 62 years. The best Bond, in my opinion, was Daniel Craig, end of story. He brought a rawness and vulnerability to the role. I also liked him in The Force Awakens. Who was your best Bond?

Pretty pleased with my New Zealand Hazy IPA #bskyhomebrew

Was at Croydon NSW today, just after a person decided to end their life by jumping in front of a train passing through the station. Bloody hell, it shook me up. If you ever have thoughts like this, please share them with someone. Life can be tough and cruel, I know, but it’s precious.

I am Australian. Could be worse, right?

Like him or hate him, I think this is a perfect response to a "gotcha" question.

Genuinely sad to read that this bloke is in need of 24 hour care. For many Australians, he was The Voice of the 1980s. I wish him well on his journey. Thanks, John. youtu.be/6m2m_9Uijso?...

Fried chicken tonight.

On the left, an American Brown Ale and on the right a Belgian Dubbel. Both very tasty. #bskyhomebrew

www.bbc.com/news/article... Ed Sheeran sang on the 30th anniversary of Do They Know It's Christmas? But when it came to the 40th anniversary, “My approval wasn’t sought on this new Band Aid 40 release," Sheeran said. "Had I had the choice I would have respectfully declined the use of my vocals."

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... What idiot would claim falsely to have had dinner with the Trumps?

A slow-cooked Spaghetti Bolognese last night and Lasagna tonight with the leftovers.

Does anyone else get nervous when Kegsbreath talks about judgement day?

Look, I know they can be a little smelly, but I think this is going too far.

My Red IPA is looking better by the glass. #bskyhomebrew

A Sunday Road Hazy Pale at The Prince, Kirrawee, NSW, Australia. #bskybeer

I'm not into health foods, I have half a brain. It's a yes, from me. #bskybeer

So pleased with this Red IPA. #bskyhomebrew

My red IPA is clearing up nicely. Shame it will be gone in a few more glasses. #bskyhomebrew

👀 MUST WATCH: This video is so well done — and absolutely hilarious! 🤣🤣

Sometimes, heroes wear helmets.

Tonight’s baking steel pizza on a homemade base. #pizza

Tried this the other day, a dark ale brewed with 4000 year old mummified yeast. Man, was it funky AF. #bskybeer

Letting the wort for my Imperial Brown Ale cool to 80 degrees Celsius, for a 20 minute Centennial and Amarillo hop stand. Colour looks spot on. #bskyhomebrew

A little corner of our house that is for my parents. The lamp was one I grew up with, with a base that was turned by my grandfather. As was the candle holder that held mum’s red Christmas candle every year. Lastly, a framed photo of them. Esma 20/03/1924 - 8/12/2015 Frank 12/03/1921 - 14/11/2018

The perfect home made cheeseburger for me is, Beef patty Good cheddar cheese Raw onions Pickles Burger sauce That’s it. You?

For my 100th all grain brew, I chose a Belgian Dubbel and made the candi sugar. It’s bloody bang on style, perhaps a little dark. #bskybeer #homebrew

I recently read about this $10 Aldi Watervale/Clare Valley Riesling that won best Riesling at the Sydney Wine Show, with a score of 95. Thought I’d give it a run and it over delivers in spades. I paired it with a spicy fried chicken but this wine was screaming out for shellfish.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... Great analysis by Laura Tingle.

The memory of a warm generous campaigner for children's literacy will live on in the hearts of all who are good and just.

Why is 80 years enough for some but not for others? Vale Dolly Parton.

Can’t stop watching. The VO is everything… SOUND UP

I like a lot of Americans, they're friends. But, the country is so fucked up. What a shiit show. Fuck, I wish them all well.

Anyone else see the similarities between this and Butler PA? I'm probably imagining it.

The TrumpStein tapes.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... This is what I don’t understand, the taunt wasn’t aimed at Natalie Harp, it was aimed at Trump. It left a lot unsaid. It didn’t mention her brother thinking her devotion to Trump was unhealthy. It didn’t mention her sleeping in a woman’s locker room to be near him.

There was a UK mocumentary called People Like Us. One episode was set in a police station and there was a shortage of paper. One of the officers had the idea of calling his mate at another station and asked him to fax some over.

Whether you call them green onions, scallions, or green shallots, the best thing about buying them is you get the whole plant. So, what you don't use, you plant.

PSA, in my dreams, I can tap dance and it has got me out of many precarious situations. I can also fly, which is a good backup if adversaries are not mesmerised by my tap dance skills.
