Just having a good whinge and sorting it all out

I'm nearly 70 and reckon it's high time to call out everyday nonsense. Pull up a chair while we solve all the problems of the world in just a few lines.

What's on my mind

From modern technology that does everything except work, to the lost art of common sense. Here are the topics getting under my skin lately.

Modern gadgets

Why does my toaster need Wi-Fi, and who approved touchscreens that never respond properly?

Daily gripes

Indicators exist for a reason, queues are meant to be respected, and good manners cost nothing.

Current affairs

The news gets crazier every day, but the solutions are usually glaringly simple if you ask me.

Life lessons

A few nuggets of hard-earned wisdom gathered from seven decades of muddling through.

About this blog

I'm pushing seventy and realised keeping my opinions to myself wasn't doing anyone any favours. This blog is my little corner of the internet to vent about the absurdities of daily life, share a laugh, and provide straightforward fixes for complicated times. No corporate spin, no grand lectures—just saying!

A lifetime of observation

You see a fair bit over seven decades. The faces change and the technology moves fast, but the classic human slip-ups stay wonderfully predictable.

"Finally, someone saying what we are all thinking at the supermarket checkout! A bloody good laugh."

Grahame S.

"Your quick take on fixing public transport in three sentences was spot on. Common sense isn't dead after all."

Margie B.

"I read your posts over my morning tea every week. Always puts a smile on my face before dealing with the day."

Trevor M.

Got something to get off your chest?

Whether you agree completely, think I have lost the plot, or want to suggest the next world problem to solve, I would love to hear from you.
