I’m married. I know, some of you out there will probably look at that declaration with some sort of squalid pallor. You know? The kind of face you make when you’re looking heartbroken at some of Edison Chen’s pictures (five words: Cecilia buy an epilator please). That said, I’ve never been one to shy away from romantic […]

It’s a common myth that Swiss Luxury watches enjoy over 2000% profit margin. It’s more a truism than a myth. Stepping away from high end complications and mono boutiques; many brands claim 100% movements are made in Switzerland (legally, it used to be 50% of the movement. It’s now 80%) but movements only factor 4% of […]

Dear Mr. Gibson, I would like to profess my undying love for you, especially now that you have earned your rightful place as Australia’s Next Top Redneck within the hall of shame. Your latest spiel to your ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, calling her a “F—ing pig in heat who risked getting raped by a pack of […]

There’s been a storm in a teacup that is threatening to overflow. Not unlike in The Name Of The Rose, public libraries have been removing Tintin in the Congo from their shelves and keeping it under lock and key because people are offended by it. That’s right, people are offended by a cartoon Belgian reporter. […]
