Universities To Blame For Credentialism?

June 10, 2004

It’s all everybody else’s fault:
EMPLOYERS are sick and tired of graduates who cannot function in the workplace, and university funding should be linked to ensuring students complete a graduate skills test, Education Minister Brendan Nelson has warned.
In an interview with The Australian, Dr Nelson has flagged plans to force universities to publish the results of [...]

Rage Against The Taximeter

May 1, 2004

Last Saturday night, on our way from Scarborough to Northbridge, myself and 2 fellow punters lined up at the cab rank on The Esplanade. There were no cabs in sight. There were, however, 2 young Italian looking guys in a tricked up Commodore sitting in the taxi rank.
“Fuck off you cunts! How are the [...]

Glen Jakovich Is A Fuckwit

April 28, 2004

One of the truisms of football is that Glen Jakovich is not only one of the most overrated players ever to pull on the boots, but also a gigantic crybaby. How he managed to get his contract extended for season 2004 is a mystery to just about everyone, but he’s making the most of his [...]

Martial Law Imminent In WA

February 18, 2004

The weather is a constant 40c and the air is full of moisture. A violent monsoon strikes at 7pm, but is gone a half-hour later. Citizens, sweating in their homes, are commanded by the administrators to operate only those appliances which are necessary for survival. The government threatens those who disobey with hefty punishments.
Suharto’s Indonesia?

Oh, It’s Just Too Good To Be True

February 3, 2004

By day, he’s badly mannered, borderline retarded, leftist blogger Niall Cook. On the weekends, however, he’s racist road rager man!
These four shots are the result of an ignorant, slitty-eyed, slimy little Landcruiser-driving vietnamese prick which tried to squeeze past me on the freeway entry ramp this morning. [...]
I’ll teach the ignorant, non-english-speaking immigrant to go [...]

QANTAS: It’s Australian For SHIT

December 9, 2003

Now that I’m back from my holiday in Singapore I’d like to take some time off from my usual pro-business stance and have a good long whinge about the worst company in Australia: QANTAS.
If you are the type that doesn’t like to read long, whiny posts then I suggest you stop reading now, because I [...]

What Does The Public Need?

November 10, 2003

As one drunk blogger said to another on Saturday night: The WA Liquor industry is an absolute fucking disgrace.
I’ve done a fair bit of travelling in my time, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I’ve attempted to drink a beer or two in every city I have visited in the world. Out [...]

Sam’s Study Tips

October 8, 2003

Here’s a useful tip that I have worked out, for any of you who may be studying subjects that allow you to submit work via E-Mail.
The way these kind of things usually work, is that they have an automated e-mailbox that tags any emails that arrive before the deadline. Submit after that and your work [...]

Kournikova Officially Hot: Den Beste

September 18, 2003

Steven Den Beste has posted one of his trademark epic essays, this time on the subject of Anna Kournikova. The conclusion: Anna could probably be better at tennis if she wanted, but there’s more money in being a super-hot “good” tennis player than hatchet faced man-impersonating “great” tennis player.
A tangential discussion on the differing [...]

Derby Round-Up

September 1, 2003

If you thought I had nothing to say about the greatest football game ever played in Western Australia, you were sadly mistaken. Likewise, if you thought I was far too mature and sensible to engage in cheap triumphalism at the expense of the soft, chardonnay + shandy drinking metrosexuals that are sometimes referred to [...]
