Here's an archive of my old stuff from over the last [redacted] years. There are car reviews, mountain bike features and LOADS of old newsers that have probably dated quite poorly. authory.com/032media

SO great to see that, even after two years off, some people are still really shitty flyers. To wit: if you and your space-invading partner are sitting window and middle, you can wait for a minute before lurching over me in the aisle seat to get a handbag out of the o/head bin. – at Melbourne, Victoria

To sum up… we’re back in peak 2019 travel hell. Hooray.
Is it that we’re breathing more CO2 behind our masks? Well… those who still wear them, at least? (Furthest thing from mask shaming, but fish or cut bait, airlines… all on or free choice). – at Melbourne, Victoria

And as for ANY kind of flow between gate and exit? Ha ha bloody ha. People doing everything BUT walking to where they need to go. It’s like Frogger.

Suppose if the thing takes a dive in the drink, there’s no fear of anyone hanging about. Those windows at 13 and 14 would be frisbeed to the moon. Of course, the ensuing stampede would account for half of the fatalities before anything else. – at Melbourne, Victoria
The plane has *literally* just stopped. Every single person front to back leaps to attention like they’re performing at the Edinburgh Military fuckin’ Tattoo. Bin doors smacking people in the temple left and right. And this is on a jet with working front and rear doors. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Just a bunch of stunned Sky News hosts looking sour and irritated, going back and forth, but they are calling it for Albo, begrudgingly.
Oops, Paul… screwed that up. – at Wollongong, New South Wales
Sky News Host Paul Murray accidentally bumps into wrong crowd who gives him a spray about Sky News’ clear bias towards Morrison. Whoops. #AusVotes2022 #LeadersDebate

Awkward moment when in exit vox pops an audience member said it was really disappointing that the Sky News moderator gave the PM more time and kept cutting off Albo. #LeadersDebate

This… was CLOSE. Glad both lads got away with it. #Indy500 – at Wollongong, New South Wales
Close calls today…. @12WillPower owes me a beer.

Or so he told the Speaker of the House... err, press pack.
PM ⁦@ScottMorrisonMP⁩ says JobSeeker is $46 a week at press conference today. It’s $46 a day #auspol

We've applied our knowledge of composites to create this lightweight electrified railway mast which has been installed ready for extensive testing. It offers significant reductions in CO2 to make & install over traditional steel masts and is even light enough to be carried.

Is there nothing @shanevg97 can’t skid? Impressive performances at Rally Canberra this weekend are raising a few eyebrows. Big turnaround in fortunes for @MotorsportARC in 2022, which is great to see. – at Wollongong, New South Wales

And kudos to @redbullampol for letting him play, too.
The broke ex-accountant who can't manage on his extremely generous salary & who spent $80 million of taxpayer money on imaginary water for Angus Taylor's Cayman Island bank account is in no position to be lecturing Australians about 'paying for it' Just STFU Barnaby 🐝 #QandA

I’m watching ALL of the last @foofighters concert that Taylor Hawkins played, just five days before he died. It’s beautiful and devastating, uplifting and crushing. I’ve loved the Foos since day dot; you wouldn’t blame them one bit if they closed the book.#thereisnothingleftolose – at Wollongong, New South Wales

Every damn time I try @UberEats, it’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle of utter, complete and all-encompassing disappointment. If it’s not abysmally late, it’s astonishingly cold - and usually it’s both. I blame myself for even allowing myself to think it will ever improve. Sigh. – at Wollongong, New South Wales

This is a fantastic take on... well, the entirety of the last few years of Gaslight University we've all been forced to endure, whether we wanted to or not. Applies locally as well, if not more. wp.me/pbRvtl-76S
