here’s a cosi livs tip i just learned from my infant daughter: save money on eyebrow piercings by smearing your face with broccoli debris. unlike hats, shoes and sunglasses this will remain in place for weeks and even months due to the astonishing adhesive property of baby spit.

POV: your dad’s gone and taken you and the dog to the pub on a thursday

@DuncanMcNab I went to the launch. Very underwhelming.

My eye was caught on Darlinghurst's magic mile (well 400m) by a big, slab-sided, bland & pointless thing which may alert Beijing if you mention a good Taiwanese restaurant while motoring. It was a BS..which seem apt (apparently a Denza B5..but I'll stick with BS..).

oh this is a trad dad account now

it’s honestly exhausting having a perfect child because the parents of normal children make horrible comparisons they’re too tired to hide and i have to take time away from enjoying my perfect child to make up flaws

@DuncanMcNab That Chinese place was the best - a lot of the waitstaff are now at The Eight in Haymarket.

Good to see the deli making the move to the new fish market. I miss the Chinese joint - so many great nights. I'd hope amid the pizazz there is somewhere to grab a plate of prawns, some marie rose, fresh bread and a small bucket of white wine. smh.com.au/goodfood/sydne…

@DuncanMcNab The Joanna Lumley one was hysterically funny

I use the bad TV reviews in The Guardian as an indicator of something I'll like. Until now. I agree - the Harlan Coben TV adaptations are dire. I watched one stinker - great cast - to the final ep..so bad I got the giggles. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

@ElizabethKamel @adorablegov That was already awful as a kid in the 90s. Unbearable now.

@adorablegov Pittwater Road Dee Why

My top 10 worst roads in Sydney (not CBD) in no particular order: Military Rd Victoria Rd King St, Newtown M5 Centenary Drive Pacific Hwy Ryde Rd Parramatta Rd Cumberland Hwy Windsor Rd Please add your least favourites. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@DuncanMcNab Just a rando SoHo cafe today.

@TimGovers A nourishing pork & fennel sausage roll from a Bourke St outpost?

I’m in Manhattan and not only have I been enjoying drinkable coffee, I’m being served “mate” and “no worries” right and left. The Australianisation of the USA is almost complete.

@sueytweets Congrats on the new wheels. I hired a Polestar for a road trip in WA earlier this year and loved it. One of the best cars I’ve ever driven.

I’ll probably get told off for sharing photos of my second hand car I bought after hanging on to my 19 year old Honda that’s seen better days because apparently I’m rich 🤑 My car can legally vote 🗳️

i just saw an ad for a daimler pictured with a jaguar leaper on the bonnet on a hitherto perfect sunday afternoon for goodness sake

please someone buy my car so i can exit this purgatory that is marketplace

@maximum_chips good job on the crap, my boy

@DuncanMcNab My favourite bar. Really enjoyed your talk on Sunday night too, Duncan.

Nice read on my mate’s bar/favourite watering hole & Kings Cross.. realcommercial.com.au/news/from-sin-…

it’s doggone Friday already

lunch was not until 2 today AND i STILL had work to do. i don’t recall the details of the videos about modern slavery i had to watch during corporate training because i was making coffee while they played and only showed up for the multi choice quiz but do i have a case or no?

happy Friday tô all who celebrate

@senatorbabet Shush! 🤫

Not in Australia.
