Grant is the evolution of the ad man. He has ears that filter out conflicting opinions... and, most important, a completely removable spine for client meetings. wersm.com/meet-grant-the-onl… #ItsFunnyCozItsTrue

I've ruined the dog.
Thought I'd treat her with a little parmesan on top of her meal.
She gets 1/2 way thru. Stops. Looks at me. Barks. Looks back at her food. Looks back at me & barks again ("where's the f@%king parmesan?!").
30 mins of this & I crumpled.
"More parmesan, Ma'am"
Pls @xychelsea, get some professional coaching on public speaking & HOW to tell your story (allowed parts) in a meaningful way that inspires #change, #activism & a positive movement. You're an inspiration & better than last night's #AnEveningWithChelseaManning.

We get it. There are things that @xychelsea is barred frm discussing or r being saved for the book. But the audience were there to demonstrate support for her actions & to be #inspired. But there was nothing. No depth, display of conviction, passion or substance. #LetChelseaSpeak

Went to a frustrating Evening With Chelsea Manning. Chelsea's bravery and conviction to choose the good of all humanity over US law is an inspiration. But ironically the encouraged #LetChelseaSpeak hashtag saw Chelsea tip-toeing around issues & Qs. Where was the heartfelt depth?

So tell us how you will make it better. All I see from the opposition is complaining about these working groups, nit-picking and distraction exercises. Get off your undeserved high horse and focus your plans to fix things. Nine years was enough time to think of one, after all.

Peter Dutton has resigned from Cabinet and will now sit on the backbench with Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce.
Pass the popcorn.

Getting back into some @WordPress customisation today.
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed tinkering around, 'under the hood'. :)

A work colleague brought #Durian into our shared office space. The smell and sound of staff dry retching was something to behold.
Next week he's bringing a putrid rotting carcass.

.@eBay @AskeBay are doing a fantastic job at ignoring my numerous emails for 2 months now, about my account being hacked and bogus transactions being put thru my account, on to PayPal and billed to my credit card. Radio silence from [email protected] and Trust & Safety team.

Both @TVNZ channels 1& 2 doubling-down on 'loose lips', with some of the most tragic programming ever seen on a Friday night - Coronation Street and Naked Attraction. #Depressing #ThankGodForNetflix
