The Australian Grand Prix has been run for another year, and the new Brawn GP team has taken first and second places. Jenson Button made things look easy and even though Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull did not allow him to get away at all during the race, I suspect that Button had a [...]

Speaking of cool action figures, one of my favourite Bat-rogues has finally been moulded into plastic. I really have to get my hands on this Mattel DC Universe Killer Moth action figure. It really looks pretty good. I do have Corgi’s Killer Moth Mothmobile that they released a few years ago. Not sure how successful [...]

I have a soft spot for Batman’s lesser known villains, especially those who can be classified a being losers. Everyone knows the Joker, Ra’s Al Ghul, the Penguin, Two Face and the Riddler, but how many casual fans know the Getaway Gimmick Genius, the Black Spider, the Spook or Crazy Quilt? I also admit to [...]

Over the last couple of days I have read two articles where Port Phillip councillors have called the end of the Grand Prix at Albert Park. They want the Australian Grand Prix Corporation to tear up their contract to hold the Grand Prix at Albert Park until 2015. They do want Victoria to retain the [...]
Here is a quick look at my favourite comedy films. These are the films that have made me laugh the most over the years and ones that I can watch over and over again. These are probably the comedy films that I feel haven’t dated so much over the years as people’s tastes in comedy [...]
