Australian newspapers today carried reports of the American journalist Doug Brown and his wife Annie who had sex for 101 consecutive days.
Here is a link to an American newspaper report.
Interesting story. The couple are the same age as my wife and I. I’m not sure about writing a book on the subject though. It seems [...]
I started in journalism 21 years ago but never had a sex romp until Friday. The front page of the Kalgoorlie Miner read:
“A Kalgoorlie man who assaulted his girlfriend with a sex toy during a sex romp foursome was fined $1000 in Kalgoorlie Magistrate’s Court and urged to seek counselling.”
The bloke whacked his partner with [...]
I don’t know what prompted me to think of this subject today. Probably it was a repressed memory which must have been triggered by something. Certainly it was a memory I had banished from my conscious mind.
After Michael was born in 1996 Juliet decided to have no more children. It wasn’t something I agreed with, [...]
Some people seem to think that newspapers delight in publishing bad news. As an editor I admit that bad news, tragedy and conflict often help to sell papers. That says something about human beings, I think, rather than newspapers.
From a personal perspective I prefer to focus on the positive but unless you're colorblind or wearing [...]
I don’t have any celebrity tales to tell, except this one. Jackie Weaver is a moderately famous actress in Australia. She appeared in the classic film “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and many others. Her stage reputation is supreme.
Jackie must have a love for regional Australia, and I admire her for that. She recently came through [...]
My election campaign steamed up this week, quite literally. Juliet pointed out accusingly this afternoon that my 8cm classified in the local paper appears underneath heavy bold type, which says:
LIVE SEX SHOWS AND LIVE STRIP SHOWS
Can anyone hazard a guess on the electoral implications of this juxtaposition? My ad is also surrounded by Melbourne Cup [...]
The story of Peter Halloran disturbed me. I’m pleased to read that he’s now been released. From The Age:
Senior Victorian police officer Peter Halloran was last night cleared by the Sierra Leone Court of Appeal of sexually assaulting a teenage girl while working as a war crimes investigator for the United Nations.
Superintendent Halloran was facing [...]
I went cycling up the Buckland Valley today. I don’t ride much in winter, but conditions were balmy today, more like September than July.
Going past the Lumsden’s dairy farm I noticed the newborn calves and pondered their existence. Never to know their dads, these little one have already been weaned from their mums.
Half of them [...]
I went to the football in Myrtleford today and saw the Saints pummel North Albury. Living in Porepunkah it’s considered a little odd that I follow Myrtleford, rather than Bright. I have an interest in Bright football, but not to the same extent.
I attribute this to my three years as editor of the Myrtleford Times. [...]
I watched an excellent French movie on SBS last night called The Closet, starring Daniel Auteuil, Gerard Depardieu and Thierry Lhermitte.
The main character was a nice, dull accountant who learns that he’s about to be sacked and contemplates suicide.
A new-found friend persuades him to pretend that he’s a homosexual, thereby raising the spectre of discrimination [...]
